Texas Turkey is Longhorn-State slang for armadillo.

8) Johnnie; I read once, that during the "GREAT DEPRESSION" in the

1930's, due to the scarcity of food ARMIDILLO'S were referred to

as "TEXAS TURKEYS" and considered a real treat! Saving many people

from starvation! ::shrug::

just givin ya a hard time mitch. :lol: sorry but i'm a native and have'nt heard that one about texas turkey being slang for a dilla. the dilla has been eaten (not by me) from mexico through it's range. at one time leprosy was said to be spread by dillas. they are an interesting animal. not shy. and pretty fun to watch. canoeing down the brazos and camped on a mesquire sandbar(not sambar) i woke to a thrashing and gnashing in the bush by my camp. drew a pistol and light and three dilla came waltzing out straight through camp without paying any attention to us. scared the crap out of me! :lol:

I thought the dilla's main purpose in life was to provide a target for one of the front tires. :mrgreen: :lol: :lol:

MITCH RAPP; ("during the "GREAT DEPRESSION" in the 1930's, due to the scarcity of food).

I just wanted to add that in them days of the DEPRESSION. Here in IL the farmers had lots of corn, but no one would buy it cuz they had no $$$$.
So the farmers just burned it to stay worm. Yup they did that. I have many old stories about those times. All not good. ::td:: ::td::

Hukk good one. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Do you know why the chicken crossed the road?

To show the possum that it can be done... :lol: :lol:

(Possum lay down on the road and pretend they are dead. Just waiting for a front tire)

My EDC

Post by Forensic Jim »

Heres my EDC. I also carry a Colt Stainless Pony 380 sometimes. Slips right in the pocket and no one knows it's there. Fortunately, Michigan passed a right to carry law several years ago and all law abiding citizens can legally carry. They also passed a law that if your home is broken into or you are being car jacked you can shoot to kill. You just have to be in fear of your life. The CZ 9mm, is a great gun. Excellent trigger pull and the factory sights are great. I've had several Colt 45's, and a Glock, but this gun is my favorite.

EDC

Post by Forensic Jim »

Probably not in our lifetime. I was surprised it all came about with a Democrat for Govenor. Most of my friends and co-workers carry now. I've had a CCW, for the past ten years. Working in a Forensic Center which is a prison for the criminally insane certainly helped. When I went in front of the gun board, they didn't even ask why I wanted one. The county prosecutor just said where I worked at and everyone said yes. Now, people don't even have to go in front of a gun board. They just fill out a one page form declaring that they've never been mentally ill, and pay their $100.00. They also take a CCW class. Permits are good for five years. Move to Michigan is my advice.

Most of Arizona has become pretty sofpistic...er, cosmospolly...er, "modernized" I guess. :cry:
However, we can still carry a firearm openly... ::nod:: ...and only if you wish to carry concealed, do you need a permit. I for one, sure hope that never changes, as it would just signify further erosion of individual choice.

Sigh. ::tired::

I've been changing my EDC knives lately. For the past yr, I carry a kahr PM9, recently a Kel-Tec P-32 as a BUG, a Benchmade 210 Activator as a kneck knife, & changing my main knife every few weeks.

Right now, it's Buck/Strider 882, but I'll probably start carrying the Benchmade HK 14250S. I'm picking up a few nice knives that I'll probably put in the rotation. For most of the last 8 yrs, my knife EDC was an Emerson CQC7.
