"Shoots like a dream"

[wildcard600]

That's why I only shop at CarniK Con Defense. Much better metaphors.

Pretty much the same as a unicorn fart after binging on habanero skittles for two weeks.



No one said the glass rod has to be any specific diameter. Thin glass rods break easily. The key characteristic of a "glass rod" trigger break is that you get little sharp bits of material all over the floor and you can only experience it once. Picture Emma Frost having... a... uh... you know.... sneezing fit.

Super thin glass rods actually bend and can be wound into a spool of about 12" diameter.

Didn't you ever take organic chemistry? Scoring and breaking glass rods (actually tubes) to use with stoppers in test tubes? Clean, surprise break.

Actually I haven't taken ochem. Only physics and computer engineering/science classes.

Like anythimg else, it originated from Debbie Gibson. Then the Square commubity got it, misappropriated it, and broke it.

My God I was in love with Gibson. Then years later she did a Playboy layout and I was further vindicated in my affections.

I actually went back to the local juco and took Organic 1 and 2 after I got my BA. Just cause I wanted to. Had a riot. What was scary was I was taking the classes for grins and giggles yet I was damn near the only one in the class who came prepared.

Since I've retired, I thought about going back and taking some journalism and film/video editing courses. Unfortunately, they are only during the day, and I don't want to give up another one or two days a week.

Where did this phrase come from?

What does it even mean? What does a dream shoot like? I don't think a dream has ever shot anything. Maybe things in your dreams shoot or get shot at, but the dream itself doesn't even really exist. Are they saying they don't even shoot their gun, because that's the only way to really compare it to a dream.

Do they actually mean "shoots like I dreamed it would shoot"? It's a tool, why are you dreaming about it?

Do people lack such creativity or vocabulary that they must use a vague cliche to justify their purchases?


Also, trigger break like a glass rod. I've never personally broken a glass rod, but I'd imagine it would be a very high trigger pull weight if you're comparing it to a glass rod.

First of all dreams are"pleasant". So the gun shoots pleasantly.

2nd thing. Glass rods break means it's crisp. It's about smooth and crisp, not the weight. A glass rod would break however light or heavy you want based on the diameter.

Breaks like an icicle is a better description, imo.

I pissed my kollij days on a BS in CS.

But I too sorta want to go film school and be like a more severe, Platoon-era Oliver Stone director of stag films.

There simply arent enough pornographic films tackling the Spanish-American war with period correct weapons and uniforms. Plus most porn actors are REAL thespians. Unknown masses whom society has shunned. Young people cast off by polite society.

A sweeping epic of Glory, Sorrow, Romance, Rape, Destruction and Pyrrhism.

I just need money, someone who can work a camera, and a lot of old guns.

ETA or maybe I just want to see Mercedes Carrera bloodied but unbowed, barefoot in a tattered dress with a pistol screaming Cuba Libre

So, one day the crickets were chirping loudly at M4carbine.net, and in that midst came a thread about what the phrase "shoots like a dream" means.

Chirp....chirp....chirp....chirp.....

Okay, I guess I'll play.

My pet peeve is "hopefully". Hopefully is an ADVERB. The correct way is not to say "Hopefully, such and such will happen..." The correct usage is "She looked at things hopefully." Using "hopefully" at the beginning of a sentence is substituting "hopefully" for "I hope." And that is grammatically incorrect.


So, hopefully after reading this people will stop using the word incorrectly.

Hopefully that will happen.

Yeah, hopefully it does happen, irregardless of circumstances. :-)
