I'm impressed by the DJ's on Mexican AM stations that can get five minutes
out of Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrradio. German has a trilled 'r' that I could never
get quite right, either. It's dropped by many younger German speakers and,
offhand, I can't think of an instance where it really made a difference
like 'pero' and 'perro'.

It varies. Some Unitarians believe in having at most one gun.
Others believe in having at least one gun.

I figure, the number of guns my neighbor has, neither picks my
pocket, nor breaks my arm.

Most of the Unitarians I've know prefer rational discourse and reaching a
consensus. They're nice people, but I never felt comfortable around them.

You forgot that they are only for killing innocent strangers, or
your family members.

I'm trying to figure out what firearm to purchase (assuming I can
scrape up the necessary clams). This would be for recreational
activities, home protection (not particularly necessary at the
moment), and hunting (in the future). Any recommendations? (Yes,
this is a multiple choice thing.;-))

A SP-101 with full on .357 loads would play hell with your jacket pocket.
Maybe a small fire extinguisher in the off side pocket for balance would be
good.
