morons on two wheels

Sorry, Ride Fast, but this is a perfect example of why cagers like me generally hate scoot-jockeys.
Today, on my way back from the range (more on that later), I had to navigate Oceanside, Kalifornistan, to pick up some gas. Interesting little town… the commercial districts seem …

shrinkwrapping the goods

You know, I have seen a lot of random things scroll across during this suprisingly long Woot-Off… but this one definitely takes the … um … cake:

Well, I guess it is a good thing that they come in bulk… The surprising thing is how long it took them …

can’t stop the serenity

Ok, so I am a little behind on this, but that is nothing new for me. Can’t Stop the Serenity is a project started by Joss Whedon (I think) to help support Equality Now, an organization dedicated to ending violence and discrimination against females around the world. And, if …

plying the aether

Oddly enough, I do have a few hobbies apart from scribbling on this weblog and going out and perforating paper… And below, you will find a few images of an example thereof:





(All of the images can be clicked upon for a giganto version… and, in retrospect, I should have

all dressed up

… and no place to haunt. Ok, so Halloween is still a little ways off, even for the most optimistic of children and other dress-up artists, and there is more than sufficient time to plan accordingly for all of your various costumes and designs and such. But certainly looking around …

observant, he is

You know, I am entirely uncertain as to which is worse:
Option 1: I somehow managed to tear off a sizeable chunk of my right big toe’s nail while unpacking boxes. Cardboard boxes. Filled, largely, with towels, bedding, kitchen supplies, and other wedding presents – objects I would not exactly …

the obamessiah just loves his honey

Supposedly, Barack Husein Obama is a good orator. Honestly, I would not know… the sheer amount of stupidity, ludicrousness, and idiocy that spews out of that man’s mouth is enough for me to turn him off seconds into anything he has to say. Unfortunately, I am one of those increasingly …

brave new media

You know, it has always struck me as amusing how scam artists, hoplophobes, and other people afraid of the truth being exposed have made use of this new, digital media age around us.
For instance, after writing my post last night about the scam of trying to run your car

preying on the ignorant

Fuel prices are going up. The cost of a barrel of raw oil has more than doubled, and is working on tripling, since last year. Food prices have gone up accordingly, and other products seem to be following suit. Basically, this whole fuel price problem is turning into a thorn …

someone is on the ball

Ok, this webpage is just too funny.
Granted, it might seem as though either definition might work (from dictionary.com):

insure: 1. to guarantee against loss or harm.

ensure: 1. to secure or guarantee: This letter will ensure you a hearing.
2. to make sure or certain: measures

learn to stop

Now, I know a lot of you drivers down here in Southern Kalifornistan are unfamiliar with the below image, but it is damned well time for you to start recognizing it again.

Why would I say such a thing? Because you either do not understand what it means, or you …

historical flashback

The below picture was taken just a bit over a year ago in small town in southern Georgia, though something tells me the gas station in question had closed a considerable time before. By the same token, I doubt you and I will see prices that low again in our …

container stickers

For those of you with a little more entrepreneurial spirit than I happen to possess, opening a new business is always an option for future career plans. A random, whimsical idea I have had in the past is opening a winery… if I had all manner of money to buy …

i need a water gun

A large-caliber, high-volume, quick-reload water gun. Preferrably with the option to load ice cubes, should I so desire.
I grew up a cat person… My family always had at least two, most of the time three, cats in the house. They are, by and large, relatively well behaved animals, and …

new sharp-and-pointy

Like I mentioned previously, Better Half and I hit up a store called Big 5 Sporting Goods a few days ago. Unfortunately, we were unsuccessful in our quest for new shoes for her, but we did walk out with a new knife for me. Would have been nice to …

decrees of the obamamessiah

For those pro-Second Amendment, pro-rights, pro-guns, pro-self-defense types out there who are curious what life could be like under the kind and gentle tutelage of Barack Hussein Obama, the Pajamas Media put together an easy-to-follow visual primer.
Yeah, I think I can do without him being …

sensor ping XLIII

Let us get these back to the Sundays the are supposed to be on. Anywise, the general premise is that you are free to ping this post (and every other post in this category), as long as you link back to it. Consider it free Google PageRank inflation, or something.…

people of the commercialism

So a little while ago, I had to take down my CafePress store since it was not making enough money to pay for its “premium” existence. The short explanation is that CafePress has free stores, and “premium” stores – in free stores, you can only have one design on any …

hiding in not-so-plain sight

So this is something of an odd story… There is a sporting goods store in Southern Kalifornistan (and most of the rest of the South and North West) called Big 5 Sporting Goods, and, honestly, I have always viewed it as something of a bastard child… the lower end …
