So his height is an issue even if you are already dating, then?

Second, if you are going to tell me how much you weigh, then your height is actually relevant.
Because even if you have accepted his height, there is no way you will be caught continuing to date a secret fat?

I am pretty sure that neither my grandfather nor my father shot any gun after they returned from their respective wars.

I haven't been to a dynamite shoot. Rifles? Pistols? Or can you use a semi?

I cannot claim to have shot dynamite, but I shot myself at an indoor firing range in Daly City once. With a S&W 10xx series (IIRC), at about 50 yards -- actually about 100 if you count the ricochet. The only thing that was permanently injured was my wife's acceptance of future handgun-related outings.

There's no reason for it to be terrifying, if you're confident and know what you're doing.

Is this terror at the root of your other issues, miss E(gbjsslmm)O

You could try with a pistol, but you want to be farther away than pistol range when the dynamite goes off.

I ended up with a welt and a bruise from a shell casing striking me in the forehead. The very nice guardsmen next to me explained exactly how I did it. Apparently, I bent my arm while shooting a .38. It hurt a lot.

A 44 magnum has pretty good range - better than a lot of rifles.

Well, sure, it's the most powerful handgun in the world. It can take your head clean off.

It's the fashion board! I just want shirts that fucking fit me. I'm not even that skinny.

Hank is on the way to becoming (dare I venture to say surpassing) Penske, and Flower is 5 years and one spin class injury away from becoming Midwestern Ironweed. Your chosen successor is Muggs, and he's halfway there.

Dissent!! Hank is older than me.

eta: you may be able to figure out from this, especially if you speak Italian, but I can't.

Parlo italiano, o almeno un po'. Qual è la tua domanda?
