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…
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,…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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.
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…
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),…
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…
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…
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.
While I do have a tendency for preferring black-and-white photography, there are still uses for colors, and one of those uses would definitely be sunsets:
… or, at least, closing sixty-day-old shops. I recently installed two, new, powerful plugins on my weblog. The first is called Blog Janitor, and it shuts down access to trackbacking and commenting for all posts older than sixy days. Basically, I am trying to cut down on…
Cavuto asked Knollenberg: “When the housing industry CEOs come to you and say, ‘You know, [if] we go under and all the ancillary businesses – the dishwasher manufacturers, the washer-and-dryer manufacturers, the Lowe’s and the Home Depots that vastly depend on our
Better Half and I are considering putting down an offer of a whole bloody lot of money on a new house within the next week or so… Unfortunately, this possibility is scary from multiple directions. First, our offer is about 20% under what they are asking, so to say…
I may be more than a few years out of college at this point, but that does not mean this topic does not continue to hit close to home: As usual, Oleg Volk‘s mastery of photography and words hits the nail squarely…
Yes, I like monochromatic pictures, deal with it. There is something comforting about a having a little fire in your abode, especially when you learn the outside temperatures are supposed to get down to the teens tonight… It is kind…
If you mix MRE-grade hot chocolate with Hiram Walker peppermint schnapps, you get something that tastes almost exactly like a liquid version of those chocolate-mint-chocolate after-dinner mints. Good stuff, that.
I am constantly frustrated by the number and type of individuals who are so ready and willing to dance in the blood of innocents (1755 UPDATE: It would appear as though Buck has taken down this post. Unfortunately, the internet never forgets. Collectively, the blockquotes…
Due to some apparent confusion as to which comment link belongs to which post, I have gone and added a new comments link to the bottom of each post on the main page. If anything breaks, please let me know, and if you know of a better way to do…
You know what? I am getting really, really gorramed tired of the “need” argument coming up in reference to handguns, “assault rifles”, and all of the other fun, “evil”, nasty-looking firearms and equipments that are out there. You see it all over the place these days… “You do not need…
Ok, so I have spent a fair bit of time researching various options online, and I have come to the conclusion that the upper package for B.O.M.B.E.R. is going to come from the good folks at Del-Ton Inc. More specifically, I am looking at a
For those of you who were not already aware, today is National Ammo Day – an ammo BUYcott. I am not sure I agree with making an already hard-to-come by product even more sparse, and thus possibly driving up prices, but I certainly cannot disagree with people…
So I started putting up some Christmas lights today, which, all in all, is a relatively simple process for me – we still live in an apartment complex, so about the only place we can effectively decorate is our porch/patio. This evening, I started by wrapping each of the vertical…
Dood. CSS2 has verticality now! Well, it has a property called “z-index” with which you can layer different boxes/divs/images/whateverthehellyouwant in an almost-three-dimensional manner. For those of you who might have noticed (like, say, my wife), the 9-11 corner image was hiding when this webpage was viewed at…
A friend of Better Half’s posited the question, “How do you feel about the election when you look back at it?” I initially left my response as a comment on his weblog, but have decided it warrants a little fleshing-out and posting here. In response… Honestly,…
Yeah. I got nothin’ today. Well, other than to say that America is royally screwed. Time for us little folk to put on the knee-pads, considering all of the bowing and scraping we will be doing to the United Nations, the World Court, and every other overseas power…
Remember, these are the kinds of people who voted the Obamamessiah into office:
You people are pathetic!
Your racist fear mongering will not go unchallenged! Soon we will shut down your hate spewing web sites. We will confiscate your firearms. In prison, you will get
“You won’t get gun control by disarming law-abiding citizens. There’s only one way to get real gun control: Disarm the thugs and the criminals, lock them up and if you don’t actually throw away the key, at least lose it for a long time… It’s a nasty truth, but those who seek to inflict harm are not fazed by gun controllers. I happen to know this from personal experience.” by Ronald Reagan
