You have to be able to pass a police driving course while holding a beverage and a snack in both hands, talk on a radio, and shoot pepper poppers out the window all at the same time.
This may be difficult for most - but for the clinicly insane, its quite an easy task.
Hard part is that 300 yard popper.

Yes George, that 300 yard one is a bite! The only good thing about it is that it is located on the streightaway of the course. What I did is that after engagening the other on the slow part of the course, as soon as I left the final turn and started excellerating I transitioned to the Long Arm. This worked fine and I successfully engaged the 300 yarder. Unfortunitly, the first two trys through the course my vehicle speed wasn't up to the required 70 MPH. Good thing they let you come back after more practice.

Yeah - you did great that second day of testing... I liked the way you used a good deal of oversteer to adjust for windage...
Sweet move.

you guys kill me i can do all that and eat a dozen doghnuts

Gunslinger · April 7, 2000, 09:23 AM

Is that all. I've done that while listening to the rookie riding shotgun chattering on subjects of interest only to rookies.

We live in a time in which attitudes and deeds once respected as courageous and honorable are now scorned as being antiquated and subversive.

Well, a thick hide and a little tiny pea brain seems to be standard qualifications.

(Rich, Geo, Schmit, ... I saw this post, but it wasn't me that did it! I think it was Guslinger. He's been using my usename to post ridiculous statements and accusations.. Make him stop. - sensop)

There you go. See, instigator! I don't know why I come here to get treated this way!

(grumble....littledamngreenpeafaced....)

Dennis · April 7, 2000, 12:05 PM

Csddwk,

Notice that Rich is the only person who gave you a straight answer? THAT should tell you something.... (Ha ha, hee hee, ho ho, etc....)

Sensop,

If you don't have a pea brain when you *start* this job,
It comes about due to *some* of the members!

And DON'T try to blame your comments on Gutslinger... er, I mean, GUNslinger!

(So THERE!

)

**4V50 Gary** · April 7, 2000, 12:06 PM

Rich doesn't just invite, he also cajoles!

terridarri · April 7, 2000, 12:21 PM

Hey Sensop, where else can you go and be treated like this and it not cost you anything?

csddwk,
The qualification criteria are actually quite stringent for the demographic mean:

breath in, breathe out, repeat.

**Bud Helms** · April 7, 2000, 08:19 PM

I got to get some of dos cajoles!

(terridari, no other place on this earth I know of!)

**Bud Helms** · April 8, 2000, 07:30 PM

GUTslinger ... ooooooo, that's good, that's real good!

csddwk,

As you may have observed, being invited to be a moderator is, I assume (... don't say it DC!) like getting in a time machine that only takes your brain back in time ... about a HUNDRED THOUSAND YEARS! You step out of the time machine (it's in the moderators lounge) and your first words are, "Me Moderator. Me Grog!" They truly are neanderthals.

DC's one of the worst (Me Grogette!). MalH too.

The others aren't too bad. Of course there's Rich. Oh boy, don't get me started ...

Errr, 'sure got quiet around this thread. Was it something one of y'all said? 4V50 Gary used "cajoles" first, not me ... !

None of this is true.

NO, the test actually requires shooting a la' Chow Yun Fat, in the John Woo school of small arms.

Miss Demeanors · February 14, 2001, 03:35 PM

sensop, you didn't think I'd forget about you?

**Bud Helms** · February 14, 2001, 08:14 PM

Miss D ...

Spectre, what ever possessed you to resurrect a thread from the silly season?

George Hill · February 16, 2001, 12:09 PM

That's early on in the first day of trials...

Spectre · February 17, 2001, 07:06 PM

There are not many who remember
They say a handful still survive...

George, Rob actually tried the John Woo shooting years ago...

George Hill · February 18, 2001, 12:04 PM

He isn't the only one. I try it quite often, just for fun. I even did it at the VA TFL Gathering with ArmySon's guns. This time I actually hit the target!
TWICE!
