typically enough

Just as my weblog goes through yet another upswing of traffic, I have to waddle off for a week or two. No idea if I will be able to post this time around… it all depends on connectivity. That [...]

yeah, ok, I did forget

Some weekends are more relaxing than others. So sue me.
  

deconstructing the feedback

I generally try to make a point of jabbing my opponents whenever the opportunity presents itself… you never really know when your next chance will be, and you never really know if that one jab might be the terminal [...]

a theory by any other name

… becomes a religion.
A while back, I put up a post concerning an interesting quote by renown author Michael Crichton. At the time, I wrote the post addressing it as an [...]

was that supposed to happen?

This has got to be one of the funniest things, and better commercials, I have ever seen. Certainly did not convince me to buy one, but watch the commercial again? [...]

linoge of the gun


Yup, that thar be your host, or at least as much of me as I am willing to show. Not the best image, what with me cutting off my feet and all, in addition to my camera automatically [...]

one of these days

I am actually going to manage to escape the People’s Republic of Kalifornistan. It is probably not going to be any time soon, and it will probably be after much nuisance here, but it will happen, damn it. Of [...]

google this, twits

Sir or Ma’am,
I have been using Google AdSense for quite some time now, and while I have never made a tremendous amount of revenue off of it, I have never had any complaints [...]

did someone get that thing’s number?

Apologies for the sporadic posting and slow updating of the People of the Gun store… I seem to have been nailed by some kind of virus that leaves me feeling like I had a [...]

horizontalism

Well, after spending an extra six hours in bed today after catching one hell of a viral bug, it is something of a mess at the moment. Of course, it is never looking particularly good – the sheets are [...]

finished product

Well, ladies and gentlemen, after considerable arguing with computer as to the meaning of “transparent”, we have a finished product.

Oh, and for those who were curious, the back is:

people of the gun

So it appears that Laura Washington has once again launched into one of her (in)famous anti-gun tirades. So many other pro-gun weblogs out [...]

bullet in the brainpain… *squish*

An afterthought caution: This weblog post probably should not be read by liberals, “sensitive” types, bleeding-heart anythings, people offended by frank conversation on tetchy subjects, people easily offended in general, or other similar types. Just move along.
An [...]

holepuncher

Just thought I would share a few more things from the range.
First off, the best target I shot, point-wise. This is a 6 inch target at 25 yards (the red dot is about 7/8ths of an inch [...]

hell, why not?

Regarding Ahmadumbassjihadist’s request to visit Ground Zero in New York City, I only have this to say:
Sure, why the hell not?
After all, one of our Founding Fathers [...]

banlieue treize

A lot of things could be said about the French… that they are backstabbing, socialistic cowards who do not even have the slightest comprehension of honor or commitment, for example… However, one thing can be definitely said about them: [...]

i believe you’re going… my way

It is always so interesting watching the old Twilight Zone episodes – the original ones, written by Rod Serling way back in the late 50’s and early 60’s. Not only are they outstanding cinematic works (and in [...]

I only write these

… to find other interesting things to read. So ping me with one!
  

observations from the range

25 yards is a long way. I do not care what firearm you are using, what caliber it is shooting, or what ammo you are sending downrange… a target at 25 yards is a tiny-arsed thing, especially when seen [...]

holy flying carp

It is actually RAINING! In Southern Kalifornistan!
Crud… that means the Apocalypse is [...]

figures never lie, but liars figure

Over the years, my parents raised me with a healthy respect for and suspicion of polls, statistics, and other such number-crunching exercises. They can be remarkably powerful when applied properly, but all it takes is an erroneous process, or [...]

get yourself some hard wood

Since my father was in the military, we tended to move around a fair bit during his time in service, and only a little less after he retired. The longest we ever spent in one place was about seven [...]

well, yeah, they can be

Heard at dinner tonight:

Person 1: You know, these stupid little things are called “potato balls” on the menu.

Person 2: Balls are good.

The really funny part? Person 2 was a female. It is good to know [...]

says it like no other

Well, they always say that one of the surefire ways to make weblog fail is to not post on a daily basis.
Good thing I do not give a flying damn.
However, I stumbled across this today, [...]

it is the little things

You know, I really might be nitpicking and overthinking this entire situtation, but I have been watching a few episodes of Battlestar Galactica (the new series) recently, and reached an odd conclusion.
Namely, their personnel armaments [...]

getting hardware and wetware up to speed

As I am sure you all are aware at this point, I recently came into possession of my very own M1A SOCOM II. I have been wanting a rifle for a while now, and this rifle in [...]

I hope you wrote something good

… because I will definitely need some stuff to read when I get back. Need to catch up on the happenings of the world, and all that.
  

i remember

I still remember September 11, 2001.
I remember waking up that morning, and the first news I heard of the attack being as I walked to class.
I remember thinking it [...]

end of the week

Hey, look, a post! Someone catch it before it runs off!
On a slightly more serious note, I just finished rereading Robert Heinlein’s Friday. Well, I say “reread”, but it has probably been over ten years since [...]

I have no idea if this will work

… but give me a ping anywise and let me know what you are up to.
  

funny how it works

Just when my weblog is experiencing another upswing of readership (thanks to the kind linkage at Snowflakes in Hell this time around), I go and disappear on you all again. This time it is going to be [...]

liberals in a nutshell

“Help, help, let us out of this nutshell!”
… Yeah, ok, that was pretty bad. But can you blame me?
Anywise, this gem was found at Say Uncle.

There is no right or [...]

so where did it go?

I do a fair bit of driving in and around San Diego, and while it is quite often a challenge to do so without being run over by some crazed lunatic on the road (more often than not, with [...]

11101010011000

At about 1220 yesterday afternoon, someone referred here by the Technorati Reactions page for Ride Fast and Shoot Straight became my 15,000th visitor. In fact, I am fairly certain it was Ride Fast himself. Well, [...]

as promised, so delivered

Ok, my “studio” sucks (considering it is little more than my bookshelves covered with a white sheet, it is no wonder), my lighting is atrocious (various fluorescent and incandescent lights, casting shades I would hesitate to call “white”), and [...]

scum of the earth

I have no love for the ACLU. Given that I love America, enjoy our rights and freedoms, and have no joy over a nanny state, that should go without saying. I would expound upon this lack of love more [...]

attention hoplophobes

My armory just got a little bigger.

Sorry for the crappy photo, but my desktop’s monitor just bit the big one, I am making do with a laptop, and I was in something of a hurry. More/better images [...]

in other news

Nepalese aerospace engineers recently stumbled across a yet-unknown advance in aircraft technology. It turns out that goat entrails make damned good substitutes for electrical wiring in a 757.
Who knew?
If I ever make it [...]

they are spawning

In case you all have not noticed, I have been doing some spring cleaning to the blogroll to the right. However, despite that cleaning, a few of the links seem to have been getting jiggy with each other, and [...]

ever wondered what a thousand of something looks like?

Yeah, so have I. And unsurprisingly predictably enough for me, I have something to show you:

Yup, that there is a thousand of something. Well, a thousand things in a box. What, you wanted [...]

I suck at trackbacks

Ok, TCode has been not only disabled, but deleted. For some reason, Movable Type has been completely reinstalling/rebuilding itself every night at about 0030 local, and all of my various plugin settings are lost in this process. As such, [...]

I am back in town

So hit me up with something to read.
