Well, the Head Cheese around here is the one who first used the word pompadour IIRC.

Wankers!!!  

I remember MB using that phrase shortly after I first started listening to him, so that had to be back in 2007 sometime. It was verbal, not written, and I remember wondering a bit about whom he was talking. It came to me next time I watched (unsafely)ShoootingUSA.

I recall him mentioning it in the blog too a way back.

Hey Tom,

You better write the History Channel too. I'm watching Lock N' Load with R. Lee Ermey that I recorded earlier tonight.
Show is titled "Rifle" and they are shooting sans eye wear. Everything from the Brown Bess to 1860 Henry's, 1860 Spencer, 1853 Enfields, 1861 Springfield, 1907 Enfield,

I'm still watching it......... actually, a few of his guests are in some scenes using glasses.

How about when he points a very visibly loaded revolver at the camera, which is not locked down on a tripod, but in a camera man's hand?

Gunny Ermey,
As a Glock representative and frequent shooter you KNOW you should be wearing Eye and Ear protection when firing.
And don't give me any of that "how we did it in the "Old Corps" crap. I served from 77 - 80 and know better. In fact in the 30's and before the "Old Breed" shooters made their own ear plugs from bees wax and cotton balls.
You are a representative of the entire shooting community and a role model for many, using proper personal protective gear is as much a duty as staying awake on Guard duty.
SEMPER FI !

PS. I exchanged several E Mails with Jim Scouton yesterday on the same subject and arrived at the opinion he is a pompous asshole .

As silly as it sounds, I would rather get this BS than Scouttens arrogant and pompous attitude toward the subject.

I agree with both of you, I could not find a link direct to the Gunny or the show, so I sent it to the generic comment site and expected a canned, "we got your note" message, When R. Lee does get back to me I do not expect the pompous BS I got from Scouton.

That fact should be fairly obvious to anybody who watches the show.  And to be honest, unless Jim is equally twitish, he is already painfully aware.  Probably why the boy has the job he has, cuz dad knows he wouldn't be able to earn a living on his own.

Classy
