Walter63a Posted August 11, 2003 Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 Speaking of drinking and let's not forget, Thompsons, the History channel is featuring a special show on Rum Runners, Moonshiners, and Bootleggers tonight at 9:00 P.M. est/ 8:00 P.M.central. I'm sure the Tommy Gun will make an appearance. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif Regards, Walter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The History Channel is one of my favorite http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/cool.gif channels to watch, you'll see more Thompsons' in action on there then anywhere else. Thanks, http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif Jim PS - Wonder if we'll see "PK" on there????

John Jr Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 I wish I could watch it. My wife has Lifetime on (Television for Man Bashers) and wont turn over the remote. Time for a new TV!!!!!!! Jr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter63a Posted August 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 Yes John, his and hers. Why not? http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif Regards, Walter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimFromFL Posted August 13, 2003 Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 Got to see the last half of the show, but sure enough, the Thompson made a few appearances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter63a Posted August 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 Jim FromFL, I thought it was a fascinating show, tying everything in from John Hancock (one of the original illegal rum runners, founding father, and wealthiest colonial at the time) to Prohibition, Al Capone, The Purple Gang, the ST. Valentine's Day Massacre, and NASCAR (being founded by moonshiners). I only wish there were more Tommys blazing on film. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif Regards, Walter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMMY SMG Posted August 13, 2003 Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 Walter, I, like you, watched the whole show last night and enjoyed it very much http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/wink.gif , but thought they would have had a little more of the "Blazin Tommy Guns" going on http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/sad.gif . Still a great show to watch http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/smile.gif . (Would have been a better show with more Tommys to watch!!! http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/tongue.gif ...) If you get the chance pick-up a DVD called "WINDTALKERS" http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/wink.gif with Nicholas Cage in it. This show has some "Kick-Ass" http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif Thompsons Blazen, gun fights early on and later in the movie. Based on World War II Battle of Saipan. A must see movie, you'll love it http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/wink.gif .

Walter63a Posted August 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 Thanks Jim, I had no Idea. I'll have to do that. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/smile.gif Regards, Walter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Fliegenheimer Posted August 13, 2003 Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 Yes. The opening moments of "Windtalkers" with Cage and those TSMG's is extraordinary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
