Maggie’s What I have learned from SH for 2019...already

[THEIS]

Hi,

Well since we had a "What have I learned from SH in 2018" I figured we might as well get the 2019 version kicked off because I have the knowledge bombs of all bombs to drop on yall.

Sincerely,
Theis

I believe those numbers are sort of like a second or backup serial number.
Reason being that Leupold doesn't want to put the serial number on the outside of the box, otherwise it can easily be put on a counterfeit scope.

When the scope is sold by a vendor they are required to upload that second serial number to a data base with the FBI so they know who the scope was originally sold too, that way if it shows up in a crime or murder it can aid the Police or FBI in the investigation.
I only ever by second hand scopes because of this reason and only by private sale, as even if it was traded at gun store they are required to update this information.
All the manufacturers have to do this.

I was going to comment on all I have learned about @THEIS, but then I got hit in the head by a 2x4 called, the next MOA vs MIL thread.
Popcorn AND soda at the ready.

 

[Mike Casselton]

Um, wow!
I'm so glad all my scopes are not serially controlled items. It really pays not to buy certain brands of alpha glass.

 

[footsteps]

I have learned to BUY MORE AMMO, I intend on doing so every month.

 

[LeftyJason]

Mil / moa threads are the funniest things.

I'm really good at doing things wrong, even if I've got on the podium AND been thinking the same way for twenty years. Fucking lol, 20 yrs. Some of us were guessing 20 years before that.

I shouldn’t spend too much time away from the Hide. Just got caught up on the paparock and Jon Pynch sagas.
I also learned that Theis is possibly the scariest dude on this site, Bender is an absolute comedic genius, and nobody is safe from armyjerry. More to follow.

[armorpl8chikn]

What have I learned?
@THEIS is possibly an English major, and likely has an impecable cover letter and resume proper.
He, could probably kill me from across a crowded room, with a qtip and rubber band.
I'm not the oldest guy here by a long shot.
There is some wierd connection between @1J04 and cats? I dunno.

 

[Tucker301]

I learned that in the rarest of cases connecting from South Africa, Hong Kong, and Australia is not emphatically indicative of a member being a scammer. ?

 

[Tucker301]

Oh, and I learned that an AR can be worth $6,000.

Shit! Where? I'm sittin on a gold mine!

 

[Tucker301]

Shit! Where? I'm sittin on a gold mine!

It has to be a Magpul something something with dimples in the barrel.

 

[Tucker301]

 

[THEIS]

Hi,

LOL, so am I an English major or English Major haha?

Actually English is not even one of my first 3 languages lolol, but cover letter is golden.

Also..drill bits are nice way to dimple an AR barrel if you need to get more ROI.

Sincerely,
Theis

I learned that Veers wife does not pay the power bill on time.

 

[_Windrider_]

I learned that S&B, NF, TT, ZC, Kahles and Barska all have the same internals.

 

[J-Ham]

And contrary to my own experience, Vortex is overpriced garbage.

Your almost caught up, if you haven't read the Budly Badass scope thread you are seriously missing out on an epic SH saga.

Hi,

I learned just the other day that you can ask how many moa it takes x caliber to get to y distance in one thread but then give cartridge selection advice in another thread.

A whole new version of "what is the best scope".

[Mike Casselton]

I learned that y'all mutha fuckas need Jesus, and at least 97.3% of youse guys got serious issues.
That explains why I like hangin out here.

I’ve learned that you fuck up with far more style and panache than anyone else on the Hide. So well in fact, most of your fuckups quickly turn into epically funny shit, thereby destroying the original notion that they were fuck ups in the first place. Now that’s REAL talent !

 

[Lapuapalooza]

I’ve learned that @THEIS is probably the guy that if I ever met, I’d buy him a beer. And since I don’t drink, I’d have to make him drink mine too! ?

@sirhrmechanic has way too many cool toys, and once this whole socialistic program kicks in, I will demand that he share with the rest of us.

@Jefe's Dope & @Toast knows a lot of cute girls.

@1J04 Uncle Larry is like the uncle that shows up to family events to crash the party, make everyone laugh and hope he can make it again next time.

@Dirty D is needed to come in and straighten out threads that have gotten off track. The site probably wouldn’t run without his contributions.

@Veer_G is probably the guy that I’d like to meet someday. His taste in mustache style is in good company!??

@Tucker301 is a really good guy. His power trip asshole persona as a moderator is just a front! ??

@Lowlight makes Tucker act like that in here in an effort to maintain his own extreme level of professionalism and SME image! ?

I’ve also learned that I hang out in Maggie’s and the bear pit a lot, because the areas of this forum are for learning, not BS...

And that you all are a bunch of misfits and black sheep. Thank God there are people out there I can relate to...

And... BUY MORE AMMO. DAMN IT!!! ??

 

[Tucker301]

lol

Thanks mate, saved me a heap of typing, was just about to say something very similar.

Over my dead body.... And I mean that on several levels!
