It appeared a bunch of guys having word fun playing back and forth. If one in this day and age actually has great thoughts and concerns about a hammer? Then the world has no place to go but down and around! :-) As apposed to up and down or whatever direction it's going at the moment! All to hell actually! Smile! :-) Life is all to short and serious at times because too many people do not have one whit of crazy humour in their veins or arteries! Now a "HAMMER TOSS?" I could take seriously, particularly if the tosser were wearing a kilt as it should be when tossing a hammer! :-) So there you go eh? The hammer is on topic after all. Have any of you ever down a "LEICA CAMERA TOSS?" By accident of course! And in this case ? "No I wasn't wearing a kilt!" But I sure wish the M6 were before it landed! :-( cheers, Dr. ted ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Crawford" <chris at chriscrawfordphoto.com> To: <lug at leica-users.org> Sent: Sunday, August 26, 2012 4:42 PM Subject: Re: [Leica] Oh yeah, someone really knows how to handle new equipment announcements and reviews... > That silly meme has been done before, and it is false.
