Fun with headlines

By | May 17, 2013

Let me give a try at this: Headline: “Nashville” production team may need incentives to stay in Nashville Actual story: The taxpayers of Tennessee paid 32% of the production costs of a show that is on a major broadcast network, and now the network is upset that the state may only pay 25% of the… Read More »

You know you’re a geek when…

Earlier this week, I stopped by Wizard’s place to pick up the wedding gifts that were left at the reception.  I mentioned to Wizard and his wife that one of my groomsmen bought me a BlendTec. His wife cocked her head. He started laughing in an evil way. Yeah… Wizard and I were geeking out… Read More »

Gee… this seems to be a trend

*This is another one of those posts that I should probably state that this is purely my opinion and it doesn’t necessarily represent the opinion of WizardPC, who keeps letting me post here for some reason.  My information comes solely from the sources that I have linked in this post.  If you have not already… Read More »

Sometimes it’s about multiple rights

By | May 10, 2013

I posted this on my facebook account, but thought I’d post it here as well.  Of course, the chances that a non-gun person would read this is higher on my facebook account, but you guys might like it. So, I’m guessing most of you have heard that someone has successfully managed to build a working… Read More »

I’ve noticed that a lot of folks have been excited and talking about getting their travel plans together for this weekend.  I think this is great, but I need to tell you guys this… I’m sorry, but I don’t think we ordered enough food for all of you for the wedding reception. Everyone is talking… Read More »

An evening with…*

By | April 18, 2013

Just got back from a great concert with Naienko.  I guess you might say it was a date. She heard the following song at the concert for the first time, and has decided that it’s one of “our songs.” [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alo16cEoBBA&w=420&h=315] Yeah… we’re that kind of couple.   *yes, the concert was, in fact entitled… Read More »

Random Thought of the Day

By | April 18, 2013

Looking at the shelves where ammo used to live at various stores these past couple weeks, and I can’t help but think “I never knew so many companies made 7.62x54R.” Seriously, was this a case of the ammo manufacturers clearing out their warehouses and just sending whatever they had to the gun shops?

Well, I don’t see this often

I spotted an article in the Tennessean entitled Neighborhood meeting on youth violence remembers ‘ones we have already lost’ and thought it was going to be another of their anti-gun pieces.  Surprisingly, other than using the phrase “gun violence” once, the piece makes no mention of anything other than the core issue: violence, and gang… Read More »

5.11 starts selling tactical kilts again!

By | April 9, 2013

So… I was afraid that Scruffy asking 5.11 to bring them back wasn’t another April Fools, and apparently it’s not.  5.11 is making tactical kilts again!  Yes, they have raised the prices by $10, but they are donating $10 to charity (heeeeyyyyy… I see what you did there…). As regular readers know, I’m a fan… Read More »
