Firers, 100 meters, random targets, watch your front,

watch

your

front.





It felt kinda good to be shooting the SAR 21 again.

"The entire institution of gift giving makes no sense. Let's say that I go out, and I spend $50 on you; it's a laborious activity, because I have to imagine what you need, whereas you know what you need. I could simplify things by just giving you the $50 directly, and then you could give me $50 on my birthday, and then so on and so forth, until one of us dies and leaves the other one old and $50 richer! And I ask you, is it worth it?"

"But Sheldon, you're his friend! Friends give each other presents!"

"I accept your premise, I reject your conclusion."

- Sheldon and Penny on a birthday gift


"You see, the danger was that I might under or over-reciprocate, but I have devised a foolproof plan. I will open her gift to me first, then excuse myself feigning digestive distress. Then, I will look up the price of her gift online, choose the basket closest to that value and give it to her, then exchange the rest for a full refund."

"Why couldn't you have just done what Leonard did and got Penny a new boyfriend?"

- Sheldon and Howard on a gift exchange
