- Made a New Year’s resolution. Because I refuse to let other people tie me down to anything*, so why should I do it to myself? Something you may want to change about yourself might occur at any time during the year anyway, so why set some arbitrary date for its commencement?
- Fired a blackpowder muzzle-loading musket or rifle.
Some of my Readers (and you know who you are) have tried to assure me that this brass cartridge case thing is just a passing fad; I may be conservative, but that doesn’t mean I can’t keep up with the times, when appropriate. (I have fired several such handguns, e.g. a Colt Dragoon and Navy Colt, and it was a huge PITA, whether it was in the preparation, the actual shooting, or the clean-up afterwards.) - Bought anything at a Hallmark Crown store, or any place that sells only candles. I have no idea how these establishments ever came to be, and their continued existence remains a mystery to me. Then again, I’m a man and we don’t go to places like this. Maybe when they start carrying ammo…
Fell free to add your “never done that” things, in Comments.
*unless it’s to a bed, and then only in very special circumstances.
Never eaten sushi, nor intend to.
Never snow skied.
Never drove a boat more than 60 mph.
Never knowingly seen a fag with my own eyeballs in person.
Never shot an 8 ga shotgun.
Never been with 2 gurlz at the same time.
Never have I ever played the never have I ever game, until now. How’s that?
Also, never sold a firearm without instant regret. That regret lasting only as long as it took to buy another firearm.
Like Ghost, never fired an 8 ga. shotgun, not even sure I’d want to.
you’re right about blackpowder.
Never have I:
fired any handgun more powerful than 44magnum or a rifle more powerful than 30-06 or a shotgun larger than 12ga. I have no fear of missing out. My wife fired a .500 S&W revolver and she said once was more than enough for her.
I don’t think I have ever driven a sports car or a convertible.
I have never watched an episode of Bevis and Butthead.
I have never patronized $burntbucks of my own volition.
I do own a black powder rifle (Thompson/Center Hawken) and I have fired a flintlock rifle.
