  • I was there by 5th grade and read grade 5 in first grade. I never read a ton, but I gave cred to my grandma, who would read me “the pokey little puppy” when I was 2 and 3 and 4 years old like every night I was there (a lot).

    I had the book memorized and was able to follow along to all the words without knowing how to actually read or anything about sounds. Apparently that was a big leg up in learning to read.






  • There’s still plenty of velocity to kill and it still hits harder than a .22 out of a rifle.

    They aren’t even super terrible to to shoot as far as kick back and such, but I’d still call them pieces of shit. The rounds will sometimes tumble through the air, they’re inaccurate, and since they only hold one round, they’re kind of useless for something other than having around as a curiosity.

    I’ve seen a few different models of these pocket sized single shot rifle round lobbers. They work. They’re deadly. They’re just kind of dumb.
