Or to "put it harshly" might even work better. We sure gets our money's worth here, don't we? Of course, it has to be here, because as you so kindly pointed out in a previous posting, I am Banned from posting on the LCSCA Forum- them "insider tradin' boys" have that security system covering their net set up as tightly as a Brahma bull's bunghole during summertime fly season. Ain't no way in Hades even a sly ol' fox could get into Dat ol' "Grapevine locale", is there?
And when I refer to insider, or perhaps- insidious, trading might be better, I am referring to one of their BOD Honchos- Herr Vogel- who scammed the rest of the herd out of a 'shot" at 13 premium "NIB" high grade Smith guns made under the Marlin era in the late 1940's- stashed away and didn't come to light until a few years ago, after the Remington take-over and ownership of Marlin= Old Herr Vogel got the first and ONLY crack at this superb collection- the rest of the membership, even their fat-boy "Alms-man from Alabama" never knew until they were safely stashed away in his home in, if I have the co-ordinates correctly here- a general translation gives us aprox this: "Man who is looking out at a herd of Jersey cows"
Boy- talk about your "animal farm" op. code- "All animals are equal, but some (and birds are animals, are they not??) are more equal than others"" Makes old Bernie Maddox's SOP look like chump change--
No doubt you will question the veracity of this remark I just made, and well you should. I admire any man who is loyal and stands up for a friend or a organization-- I got this intel from Herr Vogel's good friend whom I met at a Michigan side-by-side shoot fest- he hails from little ol' Waters, MI and likes to shoot clays with a 12 gauge Winchester M23 with Briley tubes--
Yessireee- them lads over on the "Loose Change Scalped Convincingly Already" Gruppen run a tight ship-- damn near bulletproof, water proof, 86 proof--RWTF
