Hairless Joe

New member from Marlton NJ

Recommended Posts

Hi, just joined after lurking for a couple of years. I'm a retired EE. I've been target shooting pistol since 2015 and have recently started up with rifles (Savage .22 and Henry side-gate 30-30). Fun stuff. I'm a member at South Jersey Shooting Club in Winslow but these days I mostly go to Telco Sportsmens in Atco, which is much closer to where I live. Fine folks at both clubs--gun people are the best, friendly and polite. Wish I'd gotten into this sport sooner! BTW my real name is Joe but I'm not quite as hairless as my avatar is.

Pork roll ftw, I’m also from Marlton and no one calls it Taylor Ham down here!  I’m doing some investigating I didn’t know it was called Taylor Han first but because it wasn’t recognizable enough as Ham that legally couldn’t use that name anymore so changed it to Pork Roll.

The notion that pork roll was ever called "Taylor Ham" is an urban legend.

Next thing is they'll try to tell us that Spam is "Hormel Ham". I'm not sure that anyone really knows what Spam is, but I have a hard time believing it is, or ever was, ham. After all, have you ever seen a rectangular pig?

Funny...back in my Navy days, we used to call it ‘square pig’

From what I read pork roll was created in 1856 but the Taylor company wasn’t created until 1888. By 1894 they were grossing $200k per year and in 1906 they had to change the name from “Taylor’s Prepared Ham” to “Taylor’s Pork Roll” as the product didn’t meet the new legal definition of “ham” established by the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906. And yes for some reason ham was put into quotation marks.

    • Just a heads-up for anyone who might also be in this situation. I joined USLS mid-April of 2022. Some time after renewing for 2023, I changed email providers, and dutifully reflected my new address on my account page. So, I have been anticipating renewal alerts at my new address, but those never arrived. I logged in to my account the other day, and was surprised to see that my subscription expired that same day. I went to my account main information page, confimed that my email address was correct, then went to the billing page, which showed my previous two payments, but which did not give me any apparent way to pay up for the new year. I requested support using the Customer Service form on the web site, but received no reply. Today I called their support number. Apparently changing the email address from my view of my account page did nothing to change the address that they use internally for billing purposes, including expiration notifications. Maybe they also use that address for replies to the support form, even if a different email address is entered there. Also, my account was set up to auto-renew and charge my credit card without my intervention, but that setting did not show on my account page in any obvious way. So, if you have USLS and have changed your email address since you last renewed, you might want to give them a call to ensure that they send renewal information to your correct address. The prospect of having legal coverage lapse while carrying in NJ was, for me, a less that confidence inspiring experience. I will note that the telephone-based customer service was excellent.
    • F*n imbeciles. They know damned well (or should) that, even if passed by the Colorado Senate and signed into law, virtually that entire load of crap is certain to fail Bruen/Heller scrutiny, and probably sooner, rather than later (SCOTUS). What a monumental waste of time (of course, how much can a dip$h*t's time be worth, anyway?) and energy. I passed through Colorado a few times in the 70s, and visited some clients there in the 80's & 90's, and, even by the end of that period, I had the impression that it was politically fairly conservative (with a few exceptions such as Aspen). WTF happened?

    • Ahhh ... Chicken Wing ! It works when you practice it.  Nice unsupported offhand, sir.
