What your 'Avatar' says about you..

[Bruno22]

I have always had and loved kukris. They are my favorite blades. I think they are probably the first Tactical blades ever made and a design that's timeless. Thus my avatar reflects the same.

[hvj1]

I own one, presented to my father by a Gurkha regt. officerin the 60's. Though the blade is now little blackish, it still cuts deep and true. And what balance!

mai kya boloon? just like the pic.

[mundaire]

Shall I take a stab at this? Am no psychoanalyst and I do hope y'all have a sense of humour...

Yaj - honest & forthright wihtout any pretensions

Kanwar76 - pride in ones history and an attachment to traditions

The Doc - to be honest it reminds be of this movie I saw as a kid, called "The Exorcist"

hvj1 - reminds me of of the old westerns, but the .22 cal thingee is a bit of a ringer! Confusing...

OverUnderPump - I'd like both, but as two different shotguns - if I may?

nagarifle - reminds me of the old knights templar... to the crusades gentlemen!

goodboy_mentor - completely reminds me of a cousin of mine, who would spend all his time in school drawing horses. He finally became a vet and signed up with the Indian Army (RVC).

Lucky Luke - Damn! I'd almost completely fogotten about this comic we used to read as kids... those were the days, PC meant absolutely nothing to us then, not a computer system and certainly not a way of life!

snIPer - haven't really followed the Simpson's cartoon much, so no comment.

shooter - born in the wrong century, an admiration for the old time hunters and the old way of life.

You are right Abhijeet , that's exactly the idea . Exorcism of pain, disease, suffering , asphyxiation of RKBA -------------> all evil .

Doc's avatar comes, I recall, as a movie about a reporter (named Kolchak, played by Daren McGavin) who follows murder cases and comes up against a vampire. I think that the made for tv movie co starred Carol Linley.

You are right timmy, the Kolchak character originated in a novel, The Kolchak Papers, written by Jeff Rice. Kolchak:The Night Stalker was an American television series that aired on ABC around 1974 .




Metaphorically speaking, (I like to think that) I slay a vampire or two from time to time in my medical practice.

I like the gun... rose wood and steel....

[timmy]

Doc, this is a digression from the topic (please forgive me for doing what comes naturally), but I also recall seeing McGavin in another made-for-tv movie around that time, also. In it, he played a soldier named Gallery who was isolated on a Pacific Island with a soldier from an Far East Asian nation. The idea was that the two nations had agreed to settle their differences by a fight between the two combatants.

As with your vampire movie, I won't ruin the show by telling anymore about it, but I've often thought of Gallery's gun in this movie. (This is why it is a loosely connected subject relevant to a gun board!) Gallery/McGavin was equipped with a weapon that was two submachine guns welded together and operated by one trigger. As the story went, they set up one barrel to shoot ball and the other to shoot shot. I question how effective something like that would be in jungle fighting, but it is an intriguing thought. As I recall the show, it sure enough looked interesting when they fired it!

Doc, it's interesting to me that you are a "Doc": I have a number of South Asian friends who are in Med School and also who are applying. I worked at a Med School for awhile and met them -- got one interested in guns with my RFI 2A. He's very busy right now (as you know), but a good prospect for adding to our cause here at IFG!

[m24]

Mine keeps on changing as per my mood. From blades to wrestling (for some drama in my mundane life) to right now, " What's up, Doc??". Still a kid at heart.

Interesting post hvj1.
My "avatar" reminds me of the fantastic time I had in the African wilderness.
It also gives me hope that one day our nation will take better care in preserving our natural resources, flora and fauna.

My avatar is a vouch for wildlife conservation . I like this majestic animal . And last but not least Singh itself means Tiger.
