Lunch with Guns

Channeling Egglestone.

Eggleston?

[N80]

Eggleston?

Yes. Couldn't you tell?

[BrownBear]

The most interesting detail to me is the lab focused on that sandwich.  Talk about a pointer!

[RSL]

Yes. Couldn't you tell?

Yes. But there's no terminal "e."

There used to be a saying:

Never, never let your gun
Pointed be at anyone.

Holy shit, what gives with some people? No wonder things go wrong.

RSL adds complexity layer to the brew with  " terminal "e." ".

Hard to tell from the image, muzzles are behind her back. Guns meticulously unloaded. Uncocked. You know what they call a gun without bullets? A stick. I know this person. Has been around guns her entire life. Not one accident. Not one unsafe issue.

But it is interesting how guns can dominate a conversation or picture. Even in Eggleston's (no terminal 'e' typo this time) image with the little boy looking at the gun advertisement in a magazine, the prevailing critique is one of pathos.............because the child is looking at a picture of a .22 caliber target pistol.

I can tell you from three years on a high school rifle team and from a year as captain of the Richards Gebaur AFB pistol team that there are few sports as fun and engaging as shooting.

And Rob: you're right. My grandfather, who gave me my first .22 rifle when I was twelve, pounded into me that you NEVER, EVER point a gun at somebody unless you intend to kill him.

And Patricia: complexity is nice except when the cops arrest you because the complaint has a misspelled name on it. I was pulling George's leg, but there's a definite difference between "ston" and "stone."
