        Einar seems to be Mike Williamson, actually, and I think that&apos;s his own daughter Megan holding the AR-15 with can and pink furniture, which he made for her.  Note her excellence in observing Rule #3.

Barmy, you should check out his site, wherein he discusses getting gurlz in shape for the military without breaking them. (He trained his wife into shape, at 30-something) 

I did find yer previous blog and read most of it. Couldn&apos;t stop.


I am hoping to hire on in a chipper squad as throttleman when Mike achieves world domination. I have some professional experience with that method of execution, though only with vegetables, so far.

        Rikkochet wins the &quot;what&apos;s wrong with this post&quot; prize regarding Einar&apos;s bit.  To be truly pedantic, it would be the Rifle #1, Short, Magazine, Lee-Enfield, but who around here would be like that?

As for the ramrod bayonet, they sucked.  And the M1903 version wasn&apos;t any better.  They are too thin and nowhere near rigid enough to properly stick anything, bending too easily, and aren&apos;t useful for anything else - except maybe as pointers, when removed.

I suppose you could use &apos;em to roast marshmallows...

And we ignore your snark, sir.  ;^ )

        Did they have people like you in mind when they designed that bayonet, John?

I used an &apos;84 at Bisley back in the 70&apos;s - it beat a 7.62 FN at 600 yards. 

BTW, I like Crazy Einar&apos;s choices, but I&apos;ve never heard of a short MODEL smelly.
