To everyone on this board, Merry Christmas and all the rest.

Hopefully the new year will continue the Furry Crack-Up and shake out the nuts from the trees and keep things headed towards either a much improved furry or a whole new anthropomorphics without things like... well, that tiger thing and fursuit yiffpiles, and spooge mania, and...

Okay, wishfull thinking.

I'll settle for the ongoing entertainment of the mass media dragging the embarassing out for the enjoyment of all and sundry.

Merry Christmas to everyone ^_^

...and a jolly rote phrase that has little meaning to you, too. :P

(Okay, so I did forward the photo of those poor ferrets to an old ferret-mad girlfriend..)

How do you wrap a scarf around a critter that has no neck?

Indeed, Merry Christmas, one and all. :)

And of course, Happy New year.

And let us not forget a belated Happy Channukah for our Jewish friends and neighbors, and a Happy Kwanzaa for our African-American friends, as well.

Belated? Still going on, 'till the 27th, if I'm not mistaken.

Anyway, the way you get a scarf around a ferret's neck, is to remember that they don't not have necks, they're all neck.

Oh frabjous day, I got me a shotgun for Christmas (Beretta AL390 Synthetic, for those curious) and a rifle for me (sic) birthday (M1 Garand, for those curious).

Merry Christmas!

Yeah, Channukah is still going on. I am the resident gentile here and I'm the one who has to remember where to buy the candles. Fortunately my wife still remembers the prayers.

Say, regarding firearms, you ever get your hands on a Calico? I used to own the .22 and it was very nice. Smooth action on the helical mag. I wanted the 9mm but this was just before its release. It wasn't all that much later that the assault weapons nonsense began and they restricted based on magazine size. For some reason a weapon with a 100 round capacity scared people despite it being one of the least availible rifles ever supposedly made for the mass market.

Nah, never had a Calico, probably never will.

Too bad. CT is a Class 3 state so we can still get full auto weapons here if you have a good portion of your lifetime and a lack of carpal problems to handle all the paperwork. I may just someday go back to my daydream of gunsmithing because I've got an idea based on machining tooling for a rifle that takes multiple bullets of different caliber all in the same clip and auto-adjusting for them on the fly. I can only imagine the paperwork the ATF will put me through for the licenses to manufacture, even experimentally. Maybe I'll just work it on paper and give it to one of the local gun makers we have here.

To manufacture a gun that will never be sold requires no tax or paperwork. To manufacture one that can be sold (registration) requires either a $200 tax per firearm or a manufacturing license. Silencers, short barreled shotguns and rifles, and Any Other Weapons can be manufactured, but they must have the tax; you can only manufacture machine guns with a manufacturer's license and a written request from a police department, military agency, or other law enforcement agency. Other than that, you can make basically anything. Even explosives, with a destructive devices tax.

The Calico is not a Title II firearm, it just has a big magazine. Maybe they made some full-auto or short-barrel versions, but the only bans that would effect the normal versions are the assault weapons bans, and if it's domestic, then the only one to effect it would be the '94 ban, which is set to sunset (hopefully) in September 2004. If you're interested in firearms, go ahead and join The High Road, a tremendous firearms forum. I'm a member there under the same name.

Except for an automatic weapon which this design necessarily is, at least according to the people at our local automatic weapons shop. They've not steered me wrong so far, so I go with them on this.

I know that, as I had the .22 and they did make an auto version for law enforcement only of course given this being well after 1980.

My interest is solely to see if it can be done. From existing automatic machines with similar speed and movement specifications, I'm almost certain it can. It's one of my engineering curiosities like the question of how well would Portland cement and high iron oxide content clay withstand elevated temperatures. Answer was long enough for two cubic feet of aluminum poured over three hours.
