He may be promoted but you can bet your bippie that HE won't be fired.
Bippie? That's a word I haven't heard in a long time.

I suspect that it's a word that many forum members have never heard.

Heard of it and somewhat recently used it at work.
Where would you think the demarcation age line is for this? About 40y?

The show ran from 1968-1973 so I think you would have to be about 40-45 yrs old to remember.
Maybe older'n that, Wildbill? Assuming viewer's age is 8 in '68, that viewer would be in their mid 50's now. WOW! Time does fly, whether you're having fun or not, eh?
Maybe, but I was thinking that my sister was around 8 years old when we watched the show. I will have to ask her if she remembers bibbie.

The proof Airsoft toys can fire real bullets. REAL BULLETS, FROM A CLIP AND EVERYTHING!
The trick is you have to whack the gas tube twice - not once, and not three times - with a pair of pliers and lube the upper with Chapstick.
Off to Walmart for an Airsoft AR15. I hope they won't get suspicious if I buy Chapstick at the same time.

Well, gentlemen, I am only 51 and I remember watching that show with my parents. I certainly didn't know what a Bippie was at that time, but I do remember hearing my dad use it for may years after that.

That kid was way off base. You don't use Chap Stick, you use
chicken poop!

I'd like to see him try and fire that.

So, looking at it again. The whole thing is a joke. He even says so in the description.

I heard they are going after sling shots next, because they can be converted to grenade launchers.
