This thread has singlehandedly kept the popcorn growers in business. [:D]

Oh, and I'll have another large popcorn with extra butter, and a large coke.

You shoot a cannon at railroads, Chad? Isn't that a bit drastic, even for the CN Borg? I think the manufacturer you reference only uses two "N's," dating all the way back to the orginal camera "Kwanon." Still, when I put the 500mm f4.5 on my Canon, some folks consider it a cannon (some even reference it as "the mountain howitzer."[8D]

Nope, I'm just a bad speller. Thankfully there are others on this forum that make my bad spelling not look so bad.[;)]

As I understand it, a Sabot round would be the right thing to use with a cannon, and Walmart should have Sabots on sale about this time of year. But since we're way off topic anyway, why has the military gone to smooth bore guns and Sabot rounds as opposed to just rifling the barrels?

This is starting to remind me of the Religous Fanatics (can't spell today) thread we had a while back.

Dan, Ed, I'm still waiting on that address for the cement truck driver. When I get that to him, he'll make up a special batch just for the occasion. The Don has already been paid for his troubles.[swg][}:)]

Gee, by the title, I thought this was some angry person who hates the U.S., but I guess it just turned out to be a normal person who has the internet with too much time on his hands and too much Coke in his system.

Oh yeah, K.P., nothing against you, but normal humans like you and me...well, me...don't have the power to do such things. But I do get what you mean.
