I've killed many a critter bigger than a gopher with a .22lr and only one shot. I take it you never met a fur trapper?

Well, sure - if the critter is already in a trap  :facepalm:

Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

I've read that the .22lr has killed more game large and small in America than any other, but that's mainly due to poachers jacklighting using it for the low report.

I've heard that it has actually killed more people than any other round.
"so I ended up getting the above because I didn't want to make a whole production of sticking something between my knees and cranking. To me, the cranking on mine is pretty effortless, at least on the coarse setting. Maybe if someone has arthritis or something, it would be more difficult for them." - Ben

Bass Pro in Altoona Iowa has .22LR at under $25 a brick. I can't believe its Bass Pro that cheap on ammo.  :rofl:

Trying to figure out where the neckbeard adjective came from.

Unless it actually started elsewhere, it's an Arfcomphorism.  =D

My take on it is the vaguely Duck-Dynasty-Lite looking retired/unemployed/underemployed men who have nowhere else to be/nothing to do that they can easily line up at Walmart at 7am with McDonald's coffee, and clean out the .22LR that does show up into stock to try and scalp it.

The neck part of the beard, is to the unemployed/retired status that they don't need to shave their neck...

It's also about the only part of a beard that fills in on those mom's basement dwelling interwebzcommandos.  The ones with the permanent Chee-to stained fingers and Mountain Dew rotted teeth.




Basically this guy:

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Cool, thanks for the explanation re: Neckbeard & Arfcomphorism.

I can always count on checking in on APS every few weeks or so to get my dose of slang immersion therapy.   :lol:

My take on it is a nerdy, either short & obese or tall & underweight guy, high functioning autistic and/or poor social skills whose main interests are video games, My Little Pony, anime and atheism. Tends to complain about the friend zone, how girls only wants to date "meathead" instead of Nice Guys(tm). Often wears a fedora in an effort to look "classy", failing to notice that this doesn't look very good combined with New Balance sneakers, cargo shorts, leather trench coat and a stained MLP/anime tshirt.

You're thinking of the fedora atheist, which is not quite the same animal.

The Evolution Of A *Not nice word for gay men* In A Fedora

    Get bullied all through school for being a nerd.
    Decide to take cool and own it.
    Purchase a fedora - an item which is considered a physical embodiment of cool.
    Abandon all other aspects of cool, such as physique, personality, clothing and style.
    Ride that one cool item you possess towards your hopes and dreams of coolness.
    Look like a spastic.

Keep in mind you can add to the look with fingerless gloves, a horrible neckbeard that looks like dead spiders, and a retro t-shirt.

It's a variant on the classic "basement dweller" insult.
