M1917 American Enfield

How do you think Culpeper did on the Kap Kwiz?

p.s. Maybe Ohio lost the war with Michigan? They ended up with Toledo, after all!

[Culpeper]

I've heard he got every one of them there pitchers write and he is unanimous in that observation.

:D

Oh ... go put on your "Sola Topee" (pith helmet), fix an 'unaltered' Krag bayonet on your model 1917 Colt revolver and guard your refrigerator and 'licker stash'.

Happy New Year!!!

[Culpeper]

Pith Helmet? No, Sah. I would not stoop so low as to wear that abomination. Mine is a M1917 US helmet. Worn by saints and sinners of the Great War and the Russia campaigns. Pith helmets are only worn by scurilous dogs and scaliwag teetotalers.

Now about that likker stash. What kin I pour for you? ;)

Alaskan Fashion and Style usually consist of a baseball cap, Carharts and Xtratuf boots.

But soon, there will be another Stormy Kromer man wandering the Alaskan frontier! Thanks for the tip Knute1!

From time-to-time I do like to wear my flat cap...especially when I'm in a Guinness Stout mood.

Sad but very true. Perhaps Ohio should annex Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati along with Toledo to Michigan. We'll throw Kaisch in for free.

Culpeper says you's guys can't wear dem helmuts no more, eh!

[butlersrangers]

You're right 'Culpeper' ... (can't believe, I'm saying that!) ... you was in a Brodie Helmet with a Smith & Wesson.

You missed and sent me 'high tailing'. (The bayonet changes point of impact, you know)?

Can't trust the memory, too much, anymore.

(p.s. Michigan will take Toledo, Cleveland, Parma, and Cincinnati. You guys can keep Columbus ... ya hey ... we'll throw in da Ann Arbor 'whine country', eh).

'Local Boy' - I likes to go a wondering and a wandering.

It is probably happening more and more, these days!

Too bad, someone drove over your cap! Was it an Austin-Healey 3000? .... or ... an RV?

[Local Boy]

Yup, guess you can call it my "Wonder Years"...like I wonder when the next earthquake gonna happen...oh wait...there's one now! Better go a wandering for shelter!

How did my hat turn into a flat cap...well...I was driving around town when all of a sudden...!

BTW: Isn't Culpepper's helmet missing something and where did you get that picture of me in my Air Force winter cap???
