Quote Of The Day

From SOTI, about SHTF-prepping properly:

“Stockpiling all the preserved food and medical supplies in the world won’t help when the first person to show up with a 12-gauge pump shotgun can take them all away.”

I know I’m pretty much preaching to the choir on this website, but it’s nevertheless a warning to pass on to others you may know who haven’t taken all the proper precautions.  (I myself can’t think of any of my own acquaintances who aren’t armed to the teeth properly prepared in this regard, but that’s just me.)

Hell, I don’t even know any liberals where I might engage in a little impromptu property redistribution in a SHTF situation, but there must be a few out there, even in suburban north Texas.  I’m just not willing to try to find out, for obvious reasons.

Even if I saw a “Guns Are Murder” lawn sign, they could just be hunting over bait (which is legal in Texas).

Quote Of The Day

After the NRA had its pee-pee whacked by a NY court, the Left and associated useful idiots rejoiced and went hallelujah (or whatever they say when the godless celebrate).  And then this comment appeared:

I’m getting a kick out of the MSM crowing that the back of the gun lobby is finally broken.
Sorry, kids – the NRA hasn’t been a player in a very long time now and the fact that you thought it was just goes to show how fucking ignorant you really are.

Yeah, what he* said.  The NRA is to gun ownership what the Democrat Party is to its anarcho-nihilist wing:  the polite face they want the public to see.  Most gun owners, myself included, see the NRA as a bunch of compromising lobbyists, and our interests are far better represented by Gun Owners of America (GOA) and the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), to name but two.

Or else we can keep on being that seething, restless bunch of people who take gun ownership as a natural right, and prefer to argue more important issues — like whether the American .45 ACP is better for slaughtering Commies etc. than its limp-wristed Euro counterpart, the 9mm pellet.

I think we all know on which side I belong.


Can’t remember who said it, but if anyone knows, I’ll amend the above.

Quote Of The Day

I really could quit looking up things to feature here and just read Jeremy Clarkson for material.  Here’s his latest:

OH no. It really is true. Just days after calling in the administrators, Body Shop has started to shut its branches across the country. 
So where am I going to get my satsuma body butter now? And my carrot moisturiser? And my tea tree oil?
I guess I’ll have to go back to the olden days of using soap and water and accepting the fact that old people are supposed to look like scrotums.

Priceless.


I know, it’s actually scrota, but I’m not going to correct The Greatest Living Englishman.

Quote Of The Day

From SOTI:

“The Rock ‘N Roll Hall Of Fame is as legit as the Nobel Peace Prize.”

Tangential thought:  Let’s assume that you had the option of selecting the very first ten entrants — performers separate from non-performers — to the RRHOF, which would they be (order not important)?

Mine are below the fold.

Quote Of The Day

In response to the celebratory picture of Vogue cover “girls” over the past [whatever] years:

…some guy SOTI grumped:

“Too much cinnamon, not enough sugar.”

I LOL’d.


*The word “girls” was put in quotes because some of the models (Oprah coff coff ) were last seen as actual girls back in the mid-Sixties.

Quote Of The Day

Seen here:  Progressive Culture and the Crisis of the American Male

These were all humiliation rituals… struggle sessions aimed at traditional American men and their favorite pastimes. All of them engineered and prosecuted by the Progressive Left. And they are working precisely as they were intended, which is to say badly, for American men.

And really: ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ “It was twenty years today” ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ (or thereabouts) that someone wrote this.

I still prefer my trenchant description.
