'bout damn time!

Run Fred Run!!!

You did WHAT?

How'd you like to be the poor schmuck who has to fill out the paperwork on this one?

B-52 bomber mistakenly loaded with five nuclear warheads flew from Minot Air Force Base, N.D, to Barksdale Air Force Base, La., on Aug. 30, resulting in an Air Force-wide investigation, according to three officers who asked not to be identified because they were not authorized to discuss the incident.

Airline sacrifices goats to appease sky god

The goats were sacrificed in front of the troublesome aircraft Sunday at Nepal's only international airport in Kathmandu in accordance with Hindu traditions, an official said.

Wow. Remind me never to fly to Nepal. Call me crazy, but I'd feel better with a little duct tape and baling wire.

Terlingua World Championship

No, not the chili one, the golf one.

It happens the same weekend as the chili cookoff, but Ranger Bob's Tom Skipper Memorial Terlingua World Golf Championship Golf Shoot-Out has become one of the most popular events of that weekend. Check out his site, and if you're going to be there the first weekend in November, you better get your entries in now.

As one of the original Dirty Dozen, I can attest to the fun and insanity to be had there.

Not that anyone I know would do this sort of thing at work...

Touching.

Air-dropped damns could fix levee breeches

That's right, it's an actual headline on some tree-hugger site. Curse words from the sky could fix levee pants, apparently.

Damns formed of metal tripods and self-filling water bladders could be air-dropped to rapidly repair levees breached by storm damage, say US government researchers.

When Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans in August 2005, the levees created to protect the city from flooding were breached and the resulting deluge left 80% of the city underwater (see Flawed levees no match for Hurricane Katrina).

Should a similar disaster strike the US again, the researchers hope that make-shift damns, dropped from the air, could stem prevent the resulting flood.

Wow. Just...damn.

The Shocker!

The gesture, involving the middle, index and pinky fingers, goes by various names including "the shocker" when the connotation is sexual in nature.

That'll get you blurred. See the picture.

nasty bad naughty boy

Tell me this guy isn't a homo.

Republicans hammer Brit artist's Bush

Another great headline.

Hammering a bush is a hell of a lot better than soliciting sex in a bathroom from a dude.

Blown transformer cuts power to wiener plant

What? You think I make these headlines up?

Gun lovers disarm control advocates

Here's a taste of Liberal Chicago gun-control advocacy:

Let's get organized and shove tougher gun policies right down their throats.

Laura Washington hates guns, and apparently can't understand why everyone doesn't see things her way.

Is it because she's so rational and reasonable?

Our elected officials have either been bought off or are missing in action. The odds are against the majority of Americans who are terrified and sickened by the gun menace.

Nope, that's not it. Is it because she's got paranoid delusions about what constitutes responsible gun ownership?

Do you want to be standing in line for gas, popcorn or a gallon of milk and find yourself next to someone who's packing heat? If he takes the White House, we can all go shopping for embossed leather holsters and pearl-handled pistols. I'll be looking to accessorize that with rhinestone-studded boots.

That might be closer to the truth.

Laura can't understand why an ABC News poll showed overwhelming support for gun control, while letters to the editor demonstrated an overwhelming desire for her to STFU. Seriously, an ABC News poll? Did they call 25 inner-city residents at random and call that a sample?

Laura believes that gun control measures don't advance because gun rights advocates are so mean and vitriolic. Hmmm. The phrase "pot calling the kettle black" comes to mind.

Sen. Craig: 'I Am Not Gay'

Maybe not, but his boyfriends sure are.

Happy Birthday Granny!

U.S. most armed country with 90 guns per 100 people

Well, 90% isn't bad, I guess. This surprised me, though:

India had the world's second-largest civilian gun arsenal, with an estimated 46 million firearms outside law enforcement and the military, though this represented just four guns per 100 people there. China, ranked third with 40 million privately held guns, had 3 firearms per 100 people.

Now I'm Pissed

Remember the toilet paper job from last week? Well, it just escalated. Ketchup, mustard, cola, meat, and what might be a milkshake decorated my daughter's car.






















Way over the line. Police report filed, parents, kids, and coaches are being called. Please let me catch you doing something else...

New Video Posting in Blogger!

It's a new feature in Blogger, and I'm trying it out. Enjoy a video from last year's Lone Star Adventures, showcasing our local shooting sports.

The Nuge!

This makes me laugh.
