I'm in!
Lets see what other of you strokes can make it Friday, 7pm at the Matchy crib.
He says he will go with four - but I think we can do better than that.
Matchy said it will be NPP format. I think that means;
Limit Poker 1-2-3-4
No burn, Acey-Duecey, blackjack or Pass a card Screw Your neighbor.
I think that is what it means.
Regardless, I'm in. Faldo money available for the taking!

Boother I will assume you are joking and I hope you can make it. It will be in my basement so you can all witness Boother's general contractor skills and my lack of finesse with 2x4's. And Mike N. is spot on on his description of the game. I would like Nick or Herb or some of you other NPP guys to make the trip.
PS How bout dem Lions!

While I was joking about screw your neighbor, I unfortunately can't make it Friday. A guy in my office is getting married in Dearborn and I am going to the wedding. Maybe next time!!!
Boother

I MAY BE ABLE TO BRING A COUPLE OF NEWBIES AND I WILL LET KEVIN AND ABE KNOW, is this OK MATCHY, one of the newbies may be your sons b-ball instructor. if you want me to contact Sean I will also do that........
Tom aka (aqua, rush tolly)

Yes newbies are ok as long as they can handle our disfunctional bunch. I don't think Sean will play as he told me he is too busy to do anything last time I talked to him. By all means call Kevin.

Matchy, here is your answer on the .357 vs the .38
357 Magnum - As they say of Yellowstone National Park, the .357 is “first and still best” in many hand gunners’ eyes when it comes to magnum revolvers.
It was almost exactly 65 years ago, on April 8, 1935, that the very first “.357 Magnum” revolver was completed by Smith & Wesson and presented to FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover.
The .357 had its origins in the roaring days of the 1920s, when Prohibition Era gangsters like the Dillinger bunch and Bonnie and Clyde confronted law enforcement agencies with a new situation in history: highway vehicle pursuit.
Police departments began pressuring handgun and ammunition companies for a revolver cartridge that would have more power and penetration than the standard .38 Special that was then the near-universal “major” police round.
So in 1930 S&W introduced a new .38/44 Heavy Duty .38 Special revolver built on the company’s .44-size N-Frame, and Remington and Winchester began loading a special high-velocity .38 Special cartridge called the .38/44 S&W Special.
This load was contained in an ordinary .38 Special case but was about one-third more powerful than a standard 158-grain round nose lead .38 Special load. It was recommended for use only in the heavy-frame S&W .38 Special revolvers.
After these products appeared, one of the renowned firearms authorities of the day, Philip B. Sharpe, began working on even more powerful .38 Special handloads and repeatedly urged S&W to develop a special revolver to handle them.
Sharpe’s loads were fine to shoot in the big N-Frame S&W but could damage or substantially shorten the use-life of typical smaller frame .38 Special revolvers. The solution, reached by Sharpe and S&W’s Major Douglas B. Wesson, was to slightly lengthen the standard .38 Special case and make a new revolver specially for it. The new gun would be able to chamber both the longer, more powerful loads as well as the shorter, standard-length .38 Special, while regular .38 Special revolvers would not be able to chamber the new, longer load.
By mid-1934 Winchester had completed specifications for the cartridge, which had a case length 1/8 inch longer than the .38 Special and powered a 158-grain semi-wadcutter lead bullet to a muzzle velocity of 1515 fps—nearly twice the velocity of the same-weight bullet from an ordinary .38 Special. It was called the .357 Magnum. The name is interesting.
Why .357 instead of .38?
Actually, .357 inch is the true caliber diameter of nearly all cartridges commonly called .38s, and Doug Wesson and the Winchester designers felt that using the .357 designation would make it easier to keep people from reaming out their .38 Special revolver chambers so it would fit. And why are .38s actually closer to .36s instead of real .38s in the first place? Primarily because when people first started loading .36-caliber lead balls into self-contained metallic cartridges in the 19th century, the result could be chambered in bored-through .38-caliber cap and ball revolver cylinders. So the .38 designation actually refers more to chamber diameter than bore diameter, and a .38 Special is actually a .36 Special.
The .357 Magnum cartridge (and S&W gun) was an instant runaway success. S&W had originally conceived a very limited demand, with individual registered revolvers being individually built to individual customer’s specifications. That lasted for only about two years. Not only did every cop in the nation want one, but Major Wesson also made the new revolver a sportsman’s choice by setting out on a highly publicized hunting trip to take nearly every major species of big game in North America with an eight-inch version of the new revolver. And he did it. For the next 20 years, until Elmer Keith’s heavy-loaded .44 Specials became the second ammo recipe to be poured from a magnum bottle, the .357 was the cartridge that every serious handgun shooter had to have. Even today, nearly three generations later, the .357 Magnum remains second to none in popularity for general-purpose sport, hunting, and law enforcement/personal-defense use in a revolver. - Chowlie
Matchy,
Count me in.
Email me directions, Nik has my address.
Herbavor
Finally my .357 question was sufficiently answered, I have wondered about that for quite some time. Thanks for posting that Mike. It looks like we will have a game, I am glad to see Herbavor is in. Hopefully you fence sitters can firm up your plans.
kevin and I are in for Friday, but we will not be there until around 9:15.................. i will try and recruit 1 or 2 more
tolly
Tolly don't worry too much about more recruits. With you 2 we have 6 and I am pretty sure at least one neighbor will play. Plus I am hoping 747 will chime in at some point.
I am in. :)
Hey Matchy,
Thanks for the invite.
Pencil me in.
