Started Thread Number 4 on the BHM Shoot-Em-Up Meet.
Here's the last two posts from the previous thread.
Quoting Queso (Reply 204): Guess since nobody has posted "from the scene" yet, I'll throw a quick little update.
STLGph, Ilikeyyc, N1120A, Miamiair (party of two), DL021, CastleIsland, MDorBust, BHMBAGLOCK (party of four), Gilligan, and myself (hope I didn't forget anybody) all got together this evening at VJ's Cafe on the Runway and had a great time visiting, getting to (re)know each other and talking about those who didn't come. We're still waiting to make contact with Swatpamike. After we had dinner and visited for a while, we had our T-shirt handout and a group picture and then we went to WalMart to shop for food to make breakfast and more ammo. Some of us went back to one of the hotels and visited for a bit, and then I decided that I should take off and try to get some sleep since I got up at 3:45am. We missed ya this evening ANC, see ya tomorrow morning.
So that's about it for now, I think everyone is having a good time, I know I am and I'm really glad to finally meet some of those that I've been conversing with on here after all this time! And N1120A is a nice guy, I don't care what the guys down at the fillin' station say!
Got in at 3:30pm, picked up the SUV?? and went shopping. Talk about traffic!!! WTF?????? 20 minutes to travel 2 blocks?? Holy sh$t. Is it always like this in BHM???? I forgot my cell phone in the baggage office at the airport so I went back late to get it.
Anyway. got to 3 Big Lots and a Wal-Mart tonight. Found some nice items for my eBay store in the clearence section at Wal-Mart. They will make my customers from Europe happy. Why they buy 144 scale M36 Hellcat models I will never know, but they do.
Anyway, I will be at breakfast at about 7:30 to help set up. Alamo gave me a Mid-size SUV if anyone needs a ride or extra room. Am staying at the Sheriton downtown room 848.
Cheers
swatpamike
Off we go to BHM to Shoot-Em-Up with the others . . . . .

Be sure to post a running tally of
Human-on-human shootings (fatal) (CastleIsland will be temporarily classed as human, for statistical purposes only)
H-o-h shootings (non-fatal but with substantial blood-loss) - let us know where to send flowers.
H-o-h shootings (non-fatal with minimal blood-loss) - describe accurately the location of the wound and the relative pain level (we like to gloat)
Human-on-animal shootings (broken down by genus - mammal, reptile, bird, insect, fish)
Number of animal carcasses consumed (shot by participants)
Number of animal carcasses consumed (scraped up off the road by DL021)
Number and nature of exotic sauces used in preparation of animal carcasses for consumption.

It would be ungentlemanly to divulge this information so blatantly. However, if you can solve my clue then hoorar to you.

Indeed, the 'Massacre Meet 2006'. Just don't have a hissy fit because you can't get my simple clue! Maybe you should start requesting kiddy packs on your next J class flight to TLV instead of choccies. Try the age 5-9 crossword and word searches, you'll improve ten fold!

Quoting CastleIsland (Reply 11): I'm off to cook breakfast for the troops and then meet my fate.
I wouldn't worry - your patented huevos rancheros with curried senna pods should immobilise them for several days, giving you a chance to escape back to civilisation.

Ok, here's the first of the pics. So far everyone is still alive and kicking althogh we have yet to sit down breakfast and that could change DL021, Castleisland are doing the majority of the cooking. But lets start with last night at VJ's. Here's the crew, minus ANC, AWOL imagine that!
The warm up as everyone started to arrive, myself fashionably late.
From left to right Miami Air and spouse, BHMBAGLOCK, Gilligan, MD80, Queso, Stlgph, Ilikeyyc, JGPGH1A, DL021, and Castleisland.
Here we are this morning at BHMBAGLOCK palatial offices cooking up breakfast and playing the wurlitzer and dumping nickels into the slot machines.
Castleisland cooking up breakfast, could it be the Last Breakfast?

Happy to report that there were no casualties on the range (other than ANC's ego ) and we're all back at the hotel getting cleaned up for dinner (Thai...not road kill...although I'm not convinced there won't be any domestic pets in the stew)
Quoting JGPH1A (Reply 1): Number of animal carcasses consumed (scraped up off the road by DL021)
Not necessary, although this chili last night was probably road kill special....the tamales were ok.
Quoting Myt332 (Reply 2): I'll give anybody $50 if they shoot off ANCFlyers hat.
Nah.....not worth it...

He actually put horseradish in the eggs, and it was good.....he's a good cook...spinach, cheese, onions....breakfast was really good....we did make a mess of Teds kitchen (their office kitchen is better than most of our home kitchens will ever be).
Quoting Myt332 (Reply 17): Poor Alireza. He was actually spotted at a Liverpool game the other week.

I had a good time out there today with everybody! And as the old firearms instructors' cheer goes at the end of the day......"AND NOBODY - GOT - SHOT!!!"
The rest of you guys really should have come over and shot falling plates for a while with Miamiair and spouse, Ilikeyyc, STLGph and myself. Miamiair and his spouse can really make those plates sing!
Yeah - and Britney Spears is a natural blonde ! If you don't, then your Carmens are working dangerously close to tolerance
26 Queso: One little update, the majority of the group is still out partying. Here's some of the offering from breakfast:

32 Swatpamike: Hello all Sorry about the not making it to the drinking hole after dinner. I had to deal with a problem at home. Cheers swatpamike

87 Queso: And people bitch about the screwy routing on WN. At least you are always going the right direction!
88 BHMBAGLOCK: No, I've changed planes in MSY and BNA to go to Florida on WN more than once. MSY is also a bit out of the way for MDW and I've done that as well.
89 Queso: Damn, I knew somebody would have an example that would bust my argument when I typed that! Oh well, I'm wrong.

110 Queso: ANC, have you had a chance to review your pictures yet? I'm anxious to see the ones you took.
