Pistol: Beretta 21A

Knife: S&W HRT Boot knife (made by Taylor Cutlery)

Measuring Device: Stanley 12 ft. Powerlock

Stapler: Swingline old-school stapler

The food is shiskabobs (I don't know the proper spelling here) made with venison, and french fries. The ones you see in the picture were mildly dry, but the second batch was AWESOME.

What's up with people eating dinner on the floor lately?

Looks good, though.

I was going to ask that also, what gives with the food on the floor?

Good first pic Sniper, very good...

MMMM kabobs.
Who made the grub ?

Old school stapler ? I got a old school Swingline from 50's sitting on my desk. Weights a ton and works fine, a bang every time

Actually that's a glass (or ceramic, hell I don't know, I didn't buy them) plate. I like those type. I wouldn't want ketchup on my tomatoes, that would be sort of redundant.

I put the food on the floor for two reasons: I never eat at the table, it would've been a tray otherwise, and that it seems everyone else puts it on the floor. Just a convenience issue (I didn't want to clean off the table).

My dad and my brother made the kabobs, and my grandma made the fries. I just ate it all [:)].

Well done bro!

Don't listen to those guys who tell you that you need a tape measure and stapler. Gun and knife are all that are required by [red]article 508356496746[/red] concerning "meal" pictures. [;)]

Sweet stapler. Although I prefer the black finish.

Again, a stapler is not required for a dinner pic. Staplers are only mandatory for breakfast pics. You guys never get it right!!!!

Nice grub, by the way!

Focus was an option that you didn't buy on that camera [;)]

[LOL] It's my friends camera. It's a FujiFilm FinePix A101 Digital camera. I have no clue why it sucks like that. I assume it's an out of focus thing, since pictures taken at extreme close range (one and half feet and less) are clear, and anything farther than that is blurry.

Max_Power: I like the black finish, but yours is all rusty.

Edit: Anyone have one of these and know how to fix it?

Food always tastes better when made by grandma.

Dont let your brother hog all the drill time. Chicks dig a guy who can cook and you get to eat all you want while your cooking.

I barge in and eat whatever I want. I stole a piece of marinating venison. [:)]

Although I should learn how to cook. I can pretty much just cook meat as it stands.

Beautiful setup, but damn, you scare me! Right now, I'm looking (in my office at home) at a 30 year old stapler from my old high school, a Beretta 21 (cocked and locked, just like yours), the EXACT SAME measuring tape, and I'm having deer meat for supper. Only difference is that I have a SOG Flash-II knife in my pocket instead of a S&W.

Twins separated at birth? You're not short, balding, and pudgy, are ya? Got Glasers in that Beretta?

Fuji does suck. I borrowed a Fuji and the auto-focus doesn't work for shit! You're better off using manual focus.

I'm too cheap for that knife! My Beretta is cocked and locked but on an empty chamber. The idea is I don't want a little kid walking in on a pistol. I keep it cocked because it is much easier to rack (I have it for a back up to the 12 gauge, and I don't have the best motor skills at say, 4 in the morning). I have Rem Golden bullets in the gun, they jam like crazy and thanks for asking, that way I can remember to stick some CCI in there (I use the jam-o-matic Golden bullets for assaulting pop cans).

SeaDweller, two questions:

1) Is there any way I can go from auto to manual focus on that camera? It just plain does not focus how it is now.

2) What country are you in?

You never cease to amase me, why you are a gourmet. Looks great!

BTW, the Fuji shoud have a button on the side for close in picture taking. It fine tunes the auto focus for close ups.

I believe you have my stapler...

Edit: Thanks. There was a think on the front I just needed to flip it from the flower (close up) to the mountain (far away).
