> [@swampbear](#): > > I suggest racks for the guns and pistols. They make a much better display for firearms. For the other stuff I suggest small shelves. This makes for a much better organized display and makes it easier to take stuff down for cleaning, polishing and such. This is exactly why I asked for help. My stupid idea was to put up mounting bracket thingys like **Rue** suggested and try to arrange things so it looked like everything was all ready to go at a moment’s notice. Sort of a “constantly prepared to go fight off the French” type of feel. > [@](#): > > Then you must demonstrate to **ATF** that you are more than willing to do so, by perhaps dusting and/or cleaning something else in your habitat voluntarily. That’s just crazy talk. You have my best wishes for your Dad, of course. I hope everything works out well. By the way, did anybody wish me a Happy Birthday back in January? No they did not. So screw **welby**. ---

Did you tell anyone when it was your birthday last January? You expect us to keep track of stuff like that?? You’ll notice **welby** made his blatant plea for attention and got what he wanted. Learn from that, grasshopper! So, when in January is your b-day? I’ll make a note for next year. Really. ---

If you want attention you must pound people over the head with your desire, like I did. Oh yeah, and happy belated birthday. **Swampy** , best wishes on your dad’s health. ---

I don’t really care about the birthday thing. Birthdays just aren’t a big deal for me. I actually sort of forgot about this last one and was only reminded when **Angelpants the First** (I like that) mentioned taking me out for dinner. I was really just looking for an excuse to take a smack at **welby**. :smack: ---

Happy belated Burfdey **Ex**. How very organized of you to be born in january. Like all race horses turn a year older in january, if I’m remembering correctly. What is this interrogation of squirrels I’d like to know? Do you tie them to weensie chairs and demand to know where they’ve stored their supply of nuts? Does shining a bright light at them help? I wonder if good cop/bad cop works with the furry, hmmm… I’ll bet those guys have shifty eyes like you wouldn’t believe. And how does this relate to decorating a wall with dusty weapons while wearing pink lacy undies? Is it to make **Swampbear’s** dad feel better? Because that would be worth the effort. **Scout** , how did you like Cirque du Soleil? My students loved it, most sat there with their mouths open in amazement. I wanted to check out the incredible costumes up close. Well, first I’d check out all the cute guys and then the costumes. Priorities, ya know. ---

My bestest board buddy **welby** has a long and painful history of conflict with the Squirrel Army, **Ashes**. You may want to read the whole [sordid tale](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=160972) for yourself. ---

**swampy** darlin’, I hope your Dad is doing well. Inbetween worrying about him, don’t forget to take care of yourself. Maybe **Lissla Lissar** should make you some hot chocolate\* and **Ex** can come ovr and clean your house (so he can practice for taking care of his Wall of Junk–I mean Wall of Cool Stuff. \*Come to think of it, maybe she should make all of us hot chocolate. Sounds yummy. ---

Chainsaws are great, even if you’re [trapped in time, surrounded by evil, and low on gas](http://www.impawards.com/1993/army_of_darkness.html). > [@Snooooopy](#): > > Without the gift of chainsaws, the world might have had to put up with “The Texas Pointed Stick Massacre,” which would have been far less scary.

Aw, geeze, the link didn’t work the first time I tried it. Rest assured, I’m an old-school geek. [Geek] Bruce Campbell Rocks! “This is my BOOMSTICK!” [geek] My buddy **welby** will catch it quicker than I did, because he still has the vibe going. I played RPGs in high school, but was unique in the community for not getting mugged all the time. I’m sure it had nothing to do with the basketball player who was found in the woods beaten to with an inch of his life. I sort of miss that suff. RPGs were fun, and we were always surprised when we looked at the clock and realised that it was 4am. Of course I have a real job now. It really sucks being a middle aged geek. I hereby resolve not to tease **welby** about the SCA or whatever it is he’s doing anymore. We should all have as much fun as we can squeeze in between our responsibilities. He’s having fun. Dammit. I need something else the guy about. Any suggestions? ---

Injudicious editing makes for poor posts. “I still need something to **twit** the guy about.” Upon review, I must repeat the question. I get the _Army of Darkness_ thing, and I regret all the geeky confessions. What in hell is that second link about? Again, please help an old guy out. ---
