Man decides robbing a gun shop would be a great idea… with a baseball bat. Apparently he came to his senses when the guy behind the counter drew on him.

Why, yes, that is .308 on the shelves. For sale, even. And the ammo restrictions for this chain have changed from one box per caliber, three total to two boxes per caliber. Maybe I’ll be able to buy .22 by Christmas!

So, my mom, the hoplophobe, recently went on a European vacation and brought me back a T-shirt from Greece.  It features a Spartan warrior and the phrase “molan labe” on it. She had no idea what it meant. I told her the historical context of it, but not the current popular use for that phrase.

Looks like Erin Palette’s mom got bite by a rattle snake while gardening this morning, and then had the extra joy of having an allergic reaction to the anti-venom and will be in the ICU over night. Please keep her in your thoughts today, and take this as a lesson as to why it’s a… Read More »

The rule now is, do what ever the nice man says, or he… Read More »

Person B:  Yeah, but you’re framing the events of the evening in too short… Read More »

Even though Erin has tried her hardest, I’m just not going to be a Bronie, but I do remember there being a couple at the Bidet Shoot. I wonder if they’re aware that there are conventions specific to this particular fandom.  Apparently there’s one in my neck of the woods this weekend. If any of… Read More »
