    What's the difference between a crooked pistol and a constipated owl?

    Interestingly, this gun may not have killed that little girl (or her doll), but it did kill William McKinley. [en.wikipedia.org]

    To the the Temple Of Music by the Tower Of Light between the Fountain Of Abundance and the Court of Lilies at the great Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, everybody! (Anybody? Anybody...?)

    I dunno. That doll looks awfully dead to me. Ah, but wasn't it great when things were made right here in Fitchburg, USA?

    Papa says it won't hurt us.

    Giving me all kinds of creepy vibe.

    And a fire-arms encyclopaedia (aedia!) sounds waayyyy too "smarty-pants, killing ain't for dummies" to me! Where's that gun and tobacky reader for the shitter?!

    Translation: We make good guns, but we don't want to remind you that our weapon was so good that it killed President McKinley.

    (An Iver Johnson pistol was again used to kill Bobby Kennedy. Maybe someone can dig up their advertising after that to see if it shows similar internal conflict.)

    I went to UNLV right at the ending cusp of LV's glory days (More classic hotels on the Strip than douchebag attractors, Tarkanian was still coaching, slots still dropped coins etc) and even in 1993, with under a million residents, LV still was a two-newspaper town.

    In fact I still have my mint-condition copies of the LV Sun's farewell to the Dunes Hotel special issue .. though, little did the Sun know they were about to implode themselves :[] .. good times though.

    @lobstr: I forgot! Yes! You're a UNLV grad. For the record, the Sun's still alive, it's just a fold-out in the RJ, now. A 20something year-old reporter at the Sun won the Pulitzer earlier this year for Public Service reporting on construction project deaths. Must've chapped some old asses at the RJ fairly well.

    If the internet had been set up originally on a per-fee basis, maybe there wouldn't be resistance to the idea of internet-only news. "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?" comes to mind.

    I was hoping for the death of print media if only to save the forests.

    @Lysergic Asset: Compuserve, payable by the minute. Something called The Source offered all sorts of university (East Mississippi Barbers', I think) research opportunity at $7 per minute. Other deep resources offered a cover charge to the Inner Sanctum. This was connectivity in the late 80s, when I started. Even the local "tree board," the BBS which organized chatter so it went on forever like an organization chart, began charging.

    Then somebody said, hey, everybody's still listening to radio and watching teevee. What's their business plan again?
