Tales from the creedmoor aisle

[CT10ring]

I want to know which part of the country pronounces it "Crede-moe-er".

well, that would be tha south. Similar to pronouncing "Ham" 2 syllables: Hay ahm.

Ok I'm going to use proper English n spelling, as I dont need you guys misinterpreting anything.
I get the creedmoor bashing, I believe its because your feeling a little left out.

The thing I dont understand is all you guys rocking 6BRA'S. So what's the deal, you have a "BRA" for every day of the week except 1?
What do you do on the seventh, let those man boobs hang down to your belly button? Now that's a picture all of it's own.
See how that works?
Remember ladies ya gotta have thick skin!!!

Yeah right! Ackley has been gone a long time. 6BR Improved seems right.

Thanks for the information. All these years and I thought I was saying it correctly.

Reminds of the old Phil Harris song titled “That’s What I Like About The South”...

“Won't you come with me to Alabamy
Let's go see my dear old Mammy
She's fryin' eggs and boiling hammy
That's what I like about the South”

Many more “interesting” verses in the song

My breakfast meat of choice is cheap fried bologna with 2 fried eggs and cheese. Then after this healthy breakfast I step out back and pop some bullseyes with my awesome dacious 6.5 CREEDMOOR at ELR...

Spam fired rice

Now that brings two cultures together!

 

[hogpatrol]

Yes it does.
My wife's family is from Guam.
1st fry up some spam, I prefer spicy.
Remove from pan after a lil crispy.
Then chop up in lil pieces.
Now add sticky rice,a lil soy sauce, chopped onions, carrots, peas, chilli peppers, some times crack a egg or two. Stirring in frying pan, now add back the spam.
Mmmmm mmm!!

Good grief, I'd be making a run for the Gaviscon, GasX and Pepto. followed up with a dose of Imodium.

 

[snert]

And a little Quik-set added, to slow things down...

I hang out with a couple of guys (one AF one Navy pilot) that were stationed on Guam and they told me that Spam was a real staple/delicacy there. Amazing how different the taste buds are around the world.

 

[pirate ammo]

hot buttered biscuits and homemade fig preserves, nothing better.

 

[Kracken McGraw]

Yes, I remember the discussion’s of Spam and horse meat overhearing WWII vets. Not favorable or pleasant talks.

 

[KMart]

Back before WW2 there were a lil over 500 gi's stationed there, they brought the spam I believe.
Anyhow the were invaded by the Japanese all the locals were killed and enslaved including the US troops.
Fast forward a couple years and we came back with an overwhelming force n handed the Japanese their ass, freed the people and built our military bases.
July 21st 1945.

My father vacationed there July and August 1944 with the 3rd Mar Div. Their next stop on the South Pacific vacation cruise was Iwo Jima in Feb 1945

 

[muleman69]

Forever grateful sir.
If the Guamainian people just had 6five creedmoors.

I'm sure glad the Japs didn't have the C-mores

 

[muleman69]

They did have the6.5 jap if I'm not mistaken.

Thats right they did and it was a very good round from what I understand. would that be the 6.5 Japmore?

The News ran a story about some radio stations were banning “Baby, it’s cold outside” because it promotes inappropriate sexual advances. What’s next?
“He’s looking at me!”
But I digress. The Swedes got it right with the 6.5x55. Pre-Creedmoe. On that subject, can I use high rings to rotate my scope 90 degrees so I can shoot my Creedmoe sideways?
