speaking up

For those of you readers who live here in the Patron State of Shooting Shit with me, and who also enjoy exercising their Second-Amendment-protected rights, I have an interesting little tool for you.
While Tennessee has an alllowance built into their Handgun Carry Permit system for business owners to put …

happy-juice

Memo to Apple:
Look, I know you have managed to carve out quite the computer peripherals empire based off one hell of an advertising campaign. Your computer side of the house is not doing terribly well, though, but it never was, so no great surprise there. At any rate, with …

to hell with georgia

Way back when I was just a freshman at the Georgia Institute of Technology, we somehow managed to live up to our side of the football rivalry and beat the University of Georgia. Unfortunately, since then, our record has not been so good in that respect…
Until yesterday, when Georgia

on-demand pepperoni

Did you know that one can now order Domino’s Pizza from one’s TiVo?
I weep for the species.…

too easy to fix

This topic has been raging for a few weeks now, so I guess it is time for me to weigh in. My solution for the “problem” posed by homosexual “marriages” is simple:
Get the government out of the marriage business in its entirety.
Marriages have millennia upon millennia of tradition …

thrift shopping

You have to love a store where you can buy monitors for pennies per inch

the value of arms

By way of a linky-no-thinky post for today, I recently stumbled across an article entitled “Just Say ‘No’ to Gun Registration“, by a certain Chuck Hawks. While an across-the-board gun registration scheme is not seeming very likely at the moment, even with the anti-gun stance of President-Elect

worshipping at the altar

So was anyone else stupid enough to get up at the ass-crack of dawn this morning (or, really, before it) to go see what kind of deals they could procure at your local altars of consumerism?
… Yeah, I was one of those hundreds of thousands of people, awake at …

and it was good


I promise there is a turkey underneath all of that bacon. See?

See you all when the tryptophan wears off……

sensor ping LIII

For those of you who are actually sad enough to post on Thanksgiving (like, say, me) feel free to ping this if you want. 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 …

give thanks

Happy Thanksgiving to all.
That said, go do something more useful than browsing the internet. I hear people cook today, or something……

bloody details

Thanks to a not-so-righteous hack of BlogRolling a little while back, that fun little system remains down, with no ETA of the return of services. As such, this post will stand in the place of me going through and trying to port over my current blogroll to another service, …

gift horses

Today is the day of free things, it would appear.
First, get your free flashlight (just be sure to un-check the blocks, unless you want more spam).
Second, get your free Trans-Siberian Orchestra track.
Don’t say I never got you anything.…

collapse of the union

It is interesting how great countries, nations, and societies fall… it is never in one fell swoop, it is never here-one-day-gone-the-next, it is never a sudden event (barring cataclysmic disasters, that is). Rather, they tend to be chipped away, bit by bit, until nothing is left. And, more often than …

fable on the table

Well, hell, I will certainly write 300 words for the chance at winning $250 – mercenary, I am.
Here beginneth the fable:

Dan the Dragon worked hard, day in and day out, procuring bright and shiny things for his lair. He would spend hours upon hours every day, scouring the

fall down go …

I have seen the Burj Dubai in person, and I can honestly say, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that these two gentlemn are bloody nuts.
Once you factor in the altitude, the legal system of the host country (remember, this is a Middle Eastern nation), the height, the …

checking under the skirt



We think http://www.wallsofthecity.net/ is written by a man (70%).

Well, that is good, given that I am a man – at least last I checked.
Of course, their system seems to be batting 53% accuracy, which really is not all that good… Better than most weathermen, I suppose.
Hat …

go back to school

One can only hope this soccer mom schools the Lebanon County Sheriff, Michael DeLeo as bad as she schooled Bryan Miller.
That said, I do disagree with one thing she said later in the article, in that a store owner was “punishing” her by asking her to leave the …

money = rights

It must be nice being rich and famous in Kalifornistan, because then you can have paid, armed guards to defend you from sword-wielding maniacs.
Make no mistake, the security guard did the right thing. The man had the opportunity (he was walking up to the entrance of the …

inventory control

While hoplophobes everywhere are coming up with new and interesting ways to strip average, law-abiding American citizens from possessing their evil, baby-killing, warzone-creating, insanely-accurate-but-spray-wildly-from-the-hip “assault rifles”, certain Only Ones are giving theirs up without even a second thought.

A member of Salt Lake County’s SWAT team left an M4
