Oh yeah, she gonna give us something to do with all that cheap nasty beer that people bring to parties that no one in their uninhibited mind wants to drink.

:er:...oh, dear...my attempt at a bit of humor seems to have eluded everyone...I guess there aren't a lot of Minoltians here...the reference was to the Minolta 70-210 f/4 AF zoom lens which is often referred to as the 'Beercan'...it dates back to the mid-80s (first generation of Maxxums), but it is still highly regarded by Minolta/Sony Alpha users for its build quality...it is all-metal, pretty rugged, and rather heavy, so as I said, it would take a MIGHTY POWERFUL spud gun to launch one of these...

Oh man I thought it was going to be a real potato gun till I saw that picture... I was going to say shoot cop cars with it lol but since you have that little thing you arent going to be shooting much with it.

Yeah, it went over my head, I had a feeling there was something to it considering you said some thing but I'm a Canon guy and that is not something I would have known :mrgreen:
