Hung over, and I'm reluctant to move out of the chair in front of 'puter because of the Homedics back massager I've got going for the last two hours.

Yeah, it's all in the timing, woodentoe. Me and my girl try and get there around 2 or 3 on a weekend, or before 5 on a weeknight, otherwise you'll be forced into the bar area for a half hour or so.

Moxie. I get it every time I go to the Farmer's Market in Allentown. If I'm eating deli, then it's Dr. Brown's Cel-Ray, which I haven't been able to find in quite awhile.

When I was a director of an drum corps in NJ, we had a 4th of July parade in Bergen County. As my guys were getting dressed and assembling I had one of the parade organizers come up to me and demand we remove the Garand from my honor guard captain. He said there was a "zero tolerance" policy on anything resembling firearms in the parade. The HG guy, a Korean War vet, told this tool to stick it, as did I. Just as I was putting the whole crew back on the bus the parade jackass came over with a local cop. Apparently, he wanted the cop to write a citation or something. The LEO asked to please see the weapon, which my guy turned over to him. He explained to the cop that the muzzle was sealed shut, and there was no firing pin or trigger assembly present in the rifle. The cop apologized and told us it would be fine. The parade idiot says to the cop, "But the senator's staff made it CLEAR they didn't want any firearms near the parade". The cop answers to the effect that, in its present state, the rifle was more a doorstop than a weapon and invited us to go muster. The year was 2002 and the senator was that snake in the grass, Bob Torricelli.

COMMANDO

My S&W 686 w/6" barrel. Followed closely by my Glock 20. I like how, after putting 100 rounds or so downrange from either one, my hand feels like I just stuck it in a light socket. Seriously. Plus, if I wanted to, I could light my cigar on the lick of flame that shoots out of that 10mm.

Now, see...I LOVE this place, yet I've read some negative stuff on here from, IIRC, someone who either worked there, or knows someone who does. I've never had a bad meal in this joint and I've been going there for over a decade, easy.

It's like we're Shiites and Sunni's on here, lately. Like them, we all have a common goal. Theirs is "Death to the Great Satan America", and ours is the defense of our 2A rights. Like them, we occasionally turn on each other due to our great differences in opinion on stuff. I don't like being like them. I hereby resolve that in 2013 and beyond I will be more open-minded and receptive to my fellow posters, and will refrain from rising to any bait; and I won't generalize about things like unions, LEO's, Pineys from South Jersey, Glock haters or anyone else. However, I still think that some of you aren't wrapped too tight, but I respect your eccentricities ;-)

I like the tradition, but there is nothing I hate more than Mummers' music...and this comes from a former drum corps guy. Seriously, when they start playing something like "Little Brown Jug" with their banjos and kazoos I almost turn into Curly from the Three Stooges when he hears "Pop Goes the Weasel", LOL. Those groups DO perform lots of good civic deeds, though, so kudos to them.

FWIW, I just love the header on this thread....could mean absolutely anything, as we are all proving in our disparate responses.

THIS ^^^^ is almost as good as this (Caution: NSFW):

Yeah, what's up with that? I've been trying to lose, like, 30 pounds as I head back to work finally, and all I'm running into over the last few days are food references. First Laico's and now Luger's....sheesh.

Fairly interesting bunch of threads on the Avenel treatment facility for these scumbag child molesters and other sex offenders: http://www.prisontalk.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-130749.html

Owned by the same corporation (Advance Publications), Ray. In fact, most of the stories in both papers--except for the local flavor--are dupes. Two worthless rags that are only fit to line a bird cage.

MMMmmmm....haven't been to Laico's in a while; you just gave me a hankering. They've still got valet parking? Because the last time we tried to eat there it took us about 20 minutes of driving around to finally find a spot.

If you're good at what you do, and considering you have to work in Jersey Shitty, I'd say YOU deserve around 250k per year and not that insufferable hack Epps.

I wouldn't want to take one in the belly or chest. As for ammo, I don't think there is any issue with getting the more common types, i.e., .9mm, .38. .40 and .45.

You don't offend me, but you don't help your cause with that ^^^^ either....just sayin' :-)

Why is there any controversy on here--and such a wild deviation from the original topic (a cop getting screwed-over by a possibly-vindictive, soon-to-be ex-wife), when we've known for years about the OT issue at the PA of NY/NJ? Every year like clockwork, either the Star-Ledger or NY Post comes out with the list of the highest earners at the PA, and it's usually dominated by LEO's. While I agree with some posters on here that it might seem excessive, and their money might be better spent if they hired more PA cops, I've got a MUCH bigger problem with the management of the PA, which in and of itself has been the largest political patronage mill ever seen in this area of the country. Plushy, practically no-show office jobs with six-figure salaries, cars and other perks, paid to people who green-light toll increases to pay for their piggishness. Not only that, the PA does NOT pay property taxes, as a rule, on any of its facilities in this area. Add to that the terrific deal they made for themselves recently here in Bayonne, grabbing a huge chunk of prime waterfront property at the old Military Ocean Terminal for pennies on the dollar, given the market value of the land. I'm still waiting to see how many Bayonne politicians and their relatives manage to land positions at the PA as a quid pro quo for this shady deal. So, no, rather than blame the cops for taking whatever overtime the (mis)management at the Port Authority makes available to them, I'll save my vitriol for the "Oz"-like management of the place, all put into their positions not from a competitive process but through the largesse of the governors of New York and New Jersey. Good luck to the officer, as he seems to be getting the very worst of our head-scratching state firearms laws on this one.

Without a doubt, Ford. This guy had an amazing run as a #1 box office attraction and action movie lead, culminated, IMO, by his Jack Ryan portrayal.

Got the Blue Magic and Lead Out cloths in, and will be giving them a try. Thanks, guys. Sent from my Kindle Fire using Tapatalk 2

While the BH folks have never been openly-hostile any time I've been there, I think the OP hit the nail on the head with the night club/groovy dive bar analogy. If you're used to RTSP or Heritage Guild's indoor ranges then the crowded, dingy BH range is going to be an esoteric step-down. Abrasive people, who sometimes are the subject of grievances towards the BH--and even RSTP--on this board, don't bother me; I grew up with that attitude and display it sometimes myself, LOL. It's when range personnel are openly hostile or disrespectful that I get ticked-off. Thankfully, since I've gotten back into recreational shooting and owning firearms several years ago, those events have been almost non-existent. Being as the OP is based in Jersey City, I would hope he tries out the Bayonne PBA range once in a while.

Thanks a million, guys. Some good suggestions there that I plan to use over the next day or two. Regards, Scott In Bayonne
