its easy to be a celebrated internet personality when nigerians give you millions.

:smiley: nice.

nigerian mail scam. of course, why didn’t i respond to those emails.

I’m sure there are many keys to Todd’s success, but it seems to me there are a few that are more crucial than the others:

  • Embrace personality traits that make people hate you…and also those personality traits that make people who get along with you wonder why they don’t hate you.

  • Get Reed Knight’s cell number.

  • Develop the idea to talk a gun company into giving you a free gun and an obscene amount of ammo…while thinking all the while that they are somehow coming out on the better end of the deal.

  • Attempt to capture important publicity photos using your obscenely expensive camera…but do it without the memory card in the camera.

  • Walk around on a daily basis with a gun pointing at your nuts.

As for shooting ability, I have a theory about the loss of bits of anatomy and the impact it has on performance. Todd’s a pretty good shooter and he’s down a kidney. Lance Armstrong is a pretty good cyclist and he’s down a testicle. Coincidence? I think not.

  1. Collect underpants
  2. ?
  3. Profit

For one, you know you’re on the right path if you know who Jeff Cooper is at least.

Eloquent as ever there, Mr. Shakespeare. (make your own “T.I.P. of the spear” jokes)

That was a smacking.

Those are the most key of the keys.

Somebody who didn’t ditch class to go to the range would easily be able to grasp that.

No no no. You have to do it in iambic pentameter…

The keys that are the most important keys
Shall be the ones we list right here as these:

  • Some people hate your personality.
  • Poor Kevin suffers from your text to Reed.
  • You get free stuff and screw a company.
  • Forget the cards your cameras truly need.
  • Important bits get muzzled by your gun.
    Iambic poems are a lot of fun!

Yeah. Then I’d shoot like you. Pass.

My mom tried that. We used to use sticks and our fingers as guns. My stubborn Great Grandma went out and bought me and my brother our first toy guns. Plastic uzi’s that made a noise when you pulled the trigger. God bless G Grandmas :D.

Ignore John Wayne - highly slanted - the highest level is sneaking guns in the house, having a secret PO box for your secret credit card, etc.

Also keeps the wife happy.

That said, if it could be a career - wow. How do you do that!

Yeah, he’s doing well; he has a nice car.

Well, it was until I keyed it in the parking garage.

Forgive me Todd, I just could not resist.

Jealousy of JW7777’s truly magnificent muttonchops is an ugly thing.

So Todd, what was that first gun you purchased?

This is so embarrassing.

Taurus PT-99. The 99 is the adjustable sight version. The rear sight fell off not once, not twice, but three times. On the third trip back to Taurus I insisted the gun get replaced with a fixed sight version, and since I’d paid extra for the now useless adj sights, I insisted they replace it with a sparkly stainless steel model. I then immediately sold the gun and bought my first real pistol, an HK USP40. :cool:
