You'd think it was Clint, wouldn't you!

So, did or do I use an "is" or a "was", punk? In all this excitement I've kind of lost track...so, the question you've gotta ask yourself is, 'Do I feel remotely lucky?' Well, do ya, punk?!

:D

You've maybe gotta get out more, Andy! But thanks, I thought I was losing my edge. What you said (It made my day!) isn't bad, either!

You'll have to settle for champaign, Larry - a magnum, of course.

Now it really is deteriorating. Yes, I probably do need to get out more.

Beat that Harry the Hamster! :mrgreen:

There's a Dirty Harry question in Trivial Pursuit: What is the calibre of DH's handgun?

A friend's father amazed me by retrieving a magnum calibre from his memory - a .357 magnum? - but that was, unfortunately, not the required answer. 8)

So, not only do you like violent antihero movies, Larry, but you also like The Simpsons? (Creaking, groaning sound of thread reaching "nadir point").
