false advertising

When a company says they are producing a “rail gun”, this is not what comes to mind.
*sigh* Got my hopes up, too……

and so it begins

Well, aside from a few holes in the roofing seams between the flashing and the vertical wall next to it, a rotting centerpost in the two-car garage (not uncommon in this area), and one of the two heat pumps having a non-responsive compressor (though we do not know if it …

the art of not being seen

The music is crap, but the use of ghillie suits is impressive.…

dreams and desires

So SHOT Show has been going on for a few days now, but, honestly, the only thing that caught my eye was a polymer framed Judge.
Yes, you read that right – the good folks at Taurus took their surprisingly popular Judge revolver, capable of slinging out …

stirring the fryer

In addition to doing my best to piss off anti-rights advocates and liberals in general (but I repeat myself), I occasionally do some dabbling in the kitchen as well. After a year or so of experimentation, I seem to have found a stir fry sauce recipe that we both enjoy …

quote of the day

As, in turn, quoted by Les Jones:

“I really wonder if people REALLY believe it when they say that, without guns, there will be no violence. Really? I was RAPED by someone WHO DIDN’T HAVE A GUN. The gun doesn’t CREATE violence, it is a TOOL. You can use

an open letter

To all of the individuals who are throwing hateful, intolerant, frothing-at-the-mouth, world-class tempertantrums at the idea that a private company adorned its products with encoded, tiny-assed Biblical verse references, allow me to explain something to you:
Those abbreviated, unobtrusive, and hardly noticed inscriptions were on Trijicon products from nearly …

having writ, moves on

A Republican, now-Senator Scott Brown, won what was Ted Kennedy’s seat (but is no more) in Massachusetts.
Holy crap.
I mean, holy crap.
A Republican. A veritable nobody. Won a Senate seat. In Massachusetts. After Our Glorious President campaigned for his competitor. And not …

what is on the menu?

With the Tennessee Legislature spooling back up for another year, it is time to keep tabs on the new firearm-related bills being proposed.

HB 2421: As introduced, reinstitutes the requirement that the purchaser of a firearm give a thumbprint as part of background check process and that the TBI

size matters

We humans certainly have come up with a hell of a lot of ways to put holes in things from a distance. Gotta love ingenuity and creativity.…

i feel the need

The household income in my sleepy little town in Eastern Tennessee averages out to be about $40,000 a year, and yet the Nissan dealership right down the road from me has a two GT-Rs (a silver one and a red one) on its floor, and has already sold a third. …

sad pandas are racist?

How is it that when conservatives complain about Our Glorious President being a wanna-be socialist totalitarian, it is “racist”, but when the Brady Bunch complains about Our Glorious President not abridging people’s rights fast enough, it is not? Double standards? What? Where?…

ripping loose

I have to admit, we have some pretty cruddy neighbors around this part of the country… Welp, given that I have personally experienced hurricanes and wildfires, I guess an earthquake was only a matter of time.
(Courtesy of Tam, who made my whole morning.)…

The Book of Eli: Ho. Ly. Crap. Kevin says it better than I could, but if you have not seen it yet, you should.…

mountains out of molehills

Apparently Trijicon has been “sneaking” Christian Bible verses into their product serial numbers:

ACOG Scope — ACOG4X32JN8:12
John 8:12 — “When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light

i can haz house?

They took our offer of 0.92X and no home warranty.
Holy crap.
Barring anything unusual found in the home inspection, we might just have a house!…

one more time

Idiotic, inconsistent anti-violence tendencies aside, I think it is safe to say that David Tennant gave one of the best Doctor Who deaths in the history of the television show, and he should be honored that the viewers loved his rendition of the character well enough to warrant that kind …

maybe?

Erf.
The house was listed at X.
We offered 0.89X.
They countered with 0.96X.
We countered that with 0.91X.
They just came back with 0.95X.
We just verbally countered with 0.915X.
Obviously I am rounding, so you are missing out on some of the nuances, but this is… well… I …

crime does happen… what will you do?

This kid is unquestionably a hero:

The homeowner said she and her 11-year-old son were in bed when she heard banging coming from the front door.

She got up to check and she saw two Hispanic males men wearing masks and armed with handguns walking towards her.

She quickly closed

mazda for sale

As I mentioned earlier, my old 2006 Mazda 3 hatchback is for sale. At the time, I did not provide a whole lot of information in the post, but this time, I will go ahead and dump the whole advertisement on you. However, for the sake of keeping the …
