Lucky Sam getting her chakras balanced, especially the root.

Yes it does. Having the root chakra go on strike messes everything up and makes Redheads cranky.

How peaceful. To sit here on the back swing, under the grape vine pergola, listening to the crickets, smelling the ripening grapes, watching the sky darken into dusk. My little slice of heaven, to tend my yard and gardens (such as they are).
Sorry. Pensive and maudlin. Now back to our regularly scheduled program.

No swing, just grapes, oranges, lemons, poms and quince.
What a rabbit hold this place is…Mister Jay harkens to G. Trudeau of course, with whom I heard part of an interview on NPR…what a self-absorbed, self-important pucking futz that dude is!
I like a guy that checks his figures manually. “Measure twice, etc. etc.”
Speaking of figures, Kafiroon you had my “.45LC’s” correct; Long Colt. Specifically, big-bore short-barrel wheelie in a cowboy -er, cowgirl- rig.
Nice gun. Nicer “guns”.

Not to pick nits, but there is not, and never was, a .45 Long Colt. As the original chambering for the Single Action Army revolver, the cartridge is properly called “.45 Colt” to differentiate from the .45 Short Colt, which came along some years later.
However, by any name 250 grains of lead on top of 40 grains (by weight) of black powder – nine grains (by volume) of Unique smokeless propellant – made it the magnum of its day and not too shabby even now.
Thanks for the input John….With almost 40 years as an FFL and longer than that as a firearms enthusiast and quasi-historian, I’m aware of proper designations, but most are not.
.45LC is the common vernacular to differentiate from .45ACP and what you colloquially call the .45 Short Colt, which is itself officially a non-existent chambering that is actually .45 S&W Schofield.
An interesting aside is that the Schofield was developed for the top-break S&W to make inroads into the military procurement market, but since it was easier to load and more accurate due to reduced recoil (and power) it actually became more commonly used in the Colt which with its longer chanber would accept it, while the Colt cartridges could not be used in the Schofield guns. A marketing backfire in an almost literal sense!
And back to the joke, it was of course wordplay for Sam’s other equipment, those awesome 45DD’s. 😉

Actually, the term “Long Colt” was intended to distinguish between the .45 Colt M1873 round and the .45 Colt Government cartridge, which was the same case length as the .45 S&W Schofield but had the thinner and smaller-diameter rim of the Colt .45 case.
The .45 Government Colt round (referred to as “Revolver Ball Cartridge, Cal. 45” by Army Ordnance) was intended to function in both the Colt and S&W revolvers, and generally did, although sometimes the Schofield’s star extractor would “miss” the smaller rim.
Remington, UMC, and Winchester all loaded this round to government contract and for commercial sale from the mid-1870s until just before WW2.
So yes, there really was both a .45 “Long” Colt and a .45 “Short” Colt. Even after the .45 “Short” was no longer around, the .45 “Long” Colt name stuck around in common usage, since by then it had been common and correct technical terminology for nearly half a century.
See;
Cartridges of the World, 13th ed., pp. 363-364.
Personally, I find it no more objectionable than referring to a “.357 Magnum”, even though there was no other round called a “.357” for almost fifty years, until the advent of the .357 Remington Maximum in 1983 and then the .357 SiG aka .357 Auto a decade later. BTW, the .357 Max is basically extinct, and the .357 SiG will likely soon follow it, along with the latter’s parent .40 S&W and 10mm Auto.
Yes, lots of esoterics in cartridge history and Frank Barnes is the real deal historian, unlike us quasis.
But I do try to stay with real world experiential knowledge rather than bibliography as much as possible and that goes to your most important statement; .45 Long Colt is a common term because the round and the tools that shoot it are commons and interchangeable, and is common usage to the degree that ammo manufacturers use it on their cartridge boxes and ammo suppliers list it on their inventory. None of that applies to .45 Short Colt, and I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone ask for a box of .45 Short Colt ammo. If they did they’d likely be handed Schofield by an old school dealer or maybe ACP by a newbie.
So, esoterics and the venerable Mr. Barnes aside, yes there is .45 Long Colt and no, there isn’t .45 Short Colt…although Sam’s gun might indeed be a Schofield as it is favored by cowboy shooters everywhere. But again that would fuck up my DD/LC joke so…
BTW I doubt many agree with your list of pending caliber extinctions. In the autoloaders, I’m pretty hardcore 9mm myself but lots of folks love them some .357 Sig and 10mm. And of course .40 is so ubiquitous in LEO holsters that it will be around for decades to come, and the manufacturers will be sure to keep them supplied even if/when the hardware of gov agents evolves.
Love the “smooth” look she’s sportin’, Chris. To those of the feminine persuasion who complain that it’s “not natural” and makes them “look like little girls”, I call B.S. You shave your legs, you shave your arm pits, you pluck your eyebrows, you remove random dark hairs that may form on your upper lip. Unless you’re a patchouli-drenched 60s/70s hippie, a 15th century peasant, or a modern-day butch, you’re taking care of other bodily hair issues. Do yourself and us men a favor and weed whack that sucker, and do the regularly scheduled shave/trim. Believe me… we will make it all worth your while!

Which is why you use a trimmer with a #1 guard (as I did yesterday), not quite going smooth as a Georgia peach. Some would probably complain of beard burn, but blonds seem to be a little softer on the stubble. Been a great week off so far. Not getting a lot of work done, but doing a lot of work… nudge nudge wink wink.
It ain’t like a group or social decision, I mean unless it’s a ho or a pole dancer; it’s a personal -real personal- choice between one gal and one guy. Different um, “strokes”.
I got news for you, Sport. That patch of fuzz that you so despise deflects nasty bacteria from those precious parts. There’s a reason Mom Nature and evolution gave us certain physical attributes.
If you want nekkid poobs, shave your own crotch.
To be blessed with such (justifiable) pride that this entire set shows, and to be blessed with such a woman that can show it so. Zed, you lucky bastard.

I’d still pay to receive an adult political comic series from the artist. I enjoy the art as much as the commentary. Nude is good but nude and well ridden is better. Something like ‘Backstage at the DD’.

Wax is so much fun
I could wax rhapsodic over things, too. Takes a lot of effort. Will be glad when autumn arrives and snuggling under a blanket is back in vogue.
So, Chris…does Sam get one of Zed too?
To quote the late, great Jackie Gleason:
“Hammina. Hammina. Hammina!”
Is it my imagination, or has Zed gone gray since losing his dad…?
That is one thing that will do it.
Indeed.
Somehow this seems to imply that the gray Zed is not the real Zed?
Or that he hasn’t lost his stealth capabilities. Suddenly there with no warning. 😀
I think more that, as evidenced in that last panel, that he is fast becoming Dad Wade…and that’s a good thing.
No landing strip, just a skidpad. See a very slippery slope there.
I figure that Sam’s figure has been figured PERFECTLY!
Proper QC requires multiple checks of important measurements.
Manually operated, digitally controlled, 3-dimensional calipers. Use in pairs for highest degree of precision.
Zar Belk!
Gotta love hand bras.
Problem with measurements is you gotta check them all the time.
Some several times a day…………… Lord we should all be so lucky.
Pardon. I’ll be checking some figures. The old fashioned way.
Ticonderoga #2 and a columnar pad?
To be blessed with such (justifiable) pride that this entire set shows, and to be blessed with such a woman that can show it so. Zed, you lucky bastard.
