My wife’s plan is to mail back the letter that came yesterday in the official return envelope for the census.  As sondra said, they already think we’re retarded, living out away from town and all

As a delicious alternative:

1 bottle Jack Daniels.
Drink.

Simple and can be elegant if glass used..

I was going to urge everyone in the US to give “Celt” as to race. Envisioned State after State reporting that in conjunction with a run on blue paint. Could have been kinda cool.

But I guess “American” is better.

(sigh)

at what point does an angle become “rakish”?

let us know!

Obviously his friends didn’t notice when his bathroom door was shut.

Tribal chief says to his tribe “Me got good news me got bad news”

Tribe say “Uh, what bad news”

Chief, “We all out of food and all we have to eat is elephant shit”

Tribe say “what good news”?

Chief, “we got all the shit you can eat”.

...let’s face it, we got all the shit we can eat.

Unlike the Commander in Cheat, I was born here and will have to answer ‘native American’ to the race question.

I think there are about 70 million households in the USA, so they just blew about $30 million taxpayer money in postage, or, they just cheated the USPS out of $30 million in labor if they franked it.
Just too effing brilliant.

We’re in the backstretch now in the race between Uhbama & Co. realling doing irreversible damage and Fall elections.
Question is, will genuine Americans be able to hold off these statist bastards until then, or will the trigger break ‘like a glass rod’ before then?

blindshooter has the right answer. under non combat, “casual” firing conditions, keep your firearm pointed down range when experiencing a mis fire and do not clear the round from the chamber. the primer, even rimfire, can have a delayed ignition and can still fire. don’t immediately clear the round out of the chamber like i foolishly did the other day with my lil .22 plinker. the round rolled and stopped pointing right at my belly. i got damn lucky it didn’t pop off.

Argh! (BASH BASH BASH BASH...)

Holding out for XD(m) in .45 ACP.

Actually, REALLY holding out for XD(m) in 10mm.

Sigh, the former may happen, but the latter is probably only ever going to be a dream…

Phil Morlock?  Aren’t Morlocks the future slave master cannibals that eat the Eloi?  Oh well, he must be evil then.  I suppose we should roll over and accept the new laws.

Only if you’re lookin’ for return fire, Steve.

Wait, I thought I was supposed to whistle and point it at the nearest range officer.

“quick safety quiz.

when encountering the occasional misfire of a round, meaning the striker hits the primer and the round does not fire. what do you do? “

If you are not under fire and fighting for your life, don’t do anything at all for about 2 min.

I have seen what a bolt does to a man when he is in a hurry to clear a hang fire and just as he pulls the bolt up the round goes off. Bolt buried in the top of his shoulder, did not kill him but it did stop the match until the meat wagon hauled him off. That image became a “sticky” in my mind. The same thing can happen with a simi-auto, just wait a couple min before clearing the weapon. I guess if you are under fire it may be worth the risk of immediately clearing the weapon but not on the range.

Notice the sentence about how the census is for programs you and your neighbors “need.” The government does not tell me what I need. I tell the government what I want it to do or not do. At least thats how its supposed to work.

Lunatic, you are correct.  I’ve taken the XD(m) to the range about a dozen times so far and I really like the way it handles.  I really am impressed by the simplistic manner of disassembly.  I had to buy a second one for my lady friend because she was hogging my gun.

it aint pizza without the fuzzy eyebrow fish on it

While yer at it, ask ‘em how the tribal villages in the outback of western Alaska are profiting from the Napa CA Wine Train…
[In Nanny Peelooser’s back yard?  Yeah.  Why do you ask?]

Unreal!
Funny, I was just discussing an all girl fishing weekend down at the coast.
No way are they gonna get my pole too!
