Don't remember the subject ever coming up, but I didn't follow the show that well. I just know he didn't carry.

Well, at least the writers of the show were smart.

In more ways than one. I love that show b/c the humor is *funny* but innocent.

Opie: "What's for supper, Pa?"
Andy: "Oh, you'll be having fried chicken. I'll be having crow."

Don Knotts is what Jim Carrey wishes he could be.

*shrug* I don't know. I've always found self-confident women who know how to shoot attractive. Seems to me that the only people intimidated by a self-confident woman who knows how to shoot is one who might otherwise try to get something past her. See, the weapon thing is also sort of a test. I personally would have never been intimidated by such a tactic. But then again, my intentions were always honorable, or maybe I'm a little tetched (both is probably the real truth ).


I said "my boys", as in her brothers, as in they better not try and take her for granted as they maybe surprised. Although if she takes after her mother she will be more then prepared to tkae care of herself.
My wife can shoot a gun, wrestle shorts onto a ornery 4 year old while talking on the phone, skin a racoon, and is a world class glass blower/artisan. She is a good role model for our daughter I reckon...
