schadenfreude, i has it

Electric vehicles will save us!

Electric vehicles will save the environment!

Electric vehicles are the next Big Thing!

*giggle*

Conceptually, I want to like electric vehicles – despite the energy having to be produced somewhere, they are generally more efficient… The problem, however, is our means of storing

the quicker sender-awayer

It probably goes without saying that I inherited a fair amount of my perverse sense of humor from my parents; for example, when the Jehovah’s Witnesses / Church of Latter-Day Saints / etc. would come knocking at our door, my parents would listen very politely to the folks’ opening spiel, …

in memorial

Our rights, freedoms, and liberties, such as they are, came at an extraordinarily steep price. 

Take a moment today to remember those who voluntarily paid it, for our sake.  …

the things we do as kids

This is quite possibly the funniest short story you will ever have the fortune of reading:

The daylight turned purple. Let me repeat this… THE FRICKING DAYLIGHT TURNED PURPLE.

Really, just go read the whole thing. …

we are winning the mainstream

If you do not read The Art of Manliness, you should, and if nothing else, take a gander at their “How to Shoot a Rifle” article:

From some men, learning how to properly and safely fire a rifle is a skill they picked up when they were just knee

recorded for all posterity

One of the favorite sayings of ‘net denizens is, “The Internet never forgets,” but the unspoken other half of that phrase is, “… because we never let it.”

With that in mind, I am recording the below paragraph from Mike Church’s radio show’s webpage regarding a certain Indiana Sheriff’s comments: …

this is a no-brainer

I have just one thing to say to the Indiana Supreme Court as well as the United States Supreme Court, and that is:

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no

leaving my mark

Well, this is a first for my humble little weblog:

wallsofthecitycsgvwikipediasourcewallsofthecitycsgvwikipediasource

Yup, that (item number 8, specifically) is the picture of the email I sent to Twitter regarding the CSGV’s harassment, intimidation, and "outing" of pro-rights webloggers being used as a source for the Wikipedia page on the Coalition to Stop …

off for the long weekend

Well, my parents are about half an hour out, and we are taking off a few days on either side of the weekend to spend some time with them… So, basically, have a happy and safe Memorial Day, and enjoy whatever posts I was able to scrounge together and schedule …

caracals at orsa – the main event

First, I would like to thank the Oak Ridge Sportsmen’s Association (ORSA), Caracal USA, Blade Tech, 5.11, the Oak Ridge Young Marines, and Mark Levy for putting together an outstanding event and giving us the chance to try out the not-yet-released Caracal pistol.

Second, I …

kind of like a birthday present

So my Bullitt made it into another car show – actually, the same car show it made it into last year, before my stupidity disqualified it – and while I would love to slap this new hood on it to go show off, you want to know what I am …

take r2-d2 to the range

Ever since getting my Android phone, I have complained about the lack of shot timers for that particular platform. 

Imagine my surprise today when I should stumble across not one, not two, but three separate, free shot timer applications, in addition to one pay-to-play (which gets rather …

knoxville for out-of-towners

As previously mentioned, I will not be at the Lucky Gunner shoot this weekend, for a variety of reasons. I will, however, (probably) be at the get-together being organized for this Friday, and since a few folks have already asked me some questions, I thought I would post this …

get ported

Remember that Swiss-Army-knife-for-your-keys device I wrote about around two years ago?

5402991300_4e2136f916_b5402991300_4e2136f916_bLooks like vaporware has gone solid.

Conveniently, the Keyport could replace almost everything on my carabiner besides the 24kN-rated ‘biner itself, my courtesy-of-Weer’d Gekkota (the Keyport can have a bottle opener, but no knife), and my no-duplication-allowed …

know them by their words

Why do I so adamantly fight “gun control” supporters almost whenever and wherever possible, even when they harass me and implicitly threaten my family and me?

Why have I taken to calling those individuals “anti-rights cultists”?

Conveniently enough, those two questions have the same answer, provided in a as

any publicity is good

linogeknoxnewslinogeknoxnewsOver the past sixish years, I have done and written a lot of things at this weblog, and I have been assisted along the way by some awesome folks.  We have covered local politics from numerous states and countless angles, we have tracked and documented country-wide trends and shown their …

open carry – it is not such a big deal

I seem to have started a trend…  We have librarians openly carrying

Photo evidence – I really did it…and nothing happened. Mike says he thinks he saw a few people take a second glance, but that was it. No comments, no hysteria, no police. I did not
