So speaking of cash:


...which, to my mind, is a thing we should be celebrating, not deploring.


...unless this plan involves mines, barbed wire and machine-gun towers, it’ll fail like all the others and I’m not interested.


...also, unless they’ve been issued with live ammunition, I don’t care.


...as much as the Church tries to suppress human nature, it finds a way.  None of this would happen if Catholic priests were allowed to marry.


...given the quality of women in the dating pool nowadays, it’s a losing cause, Bubba.


...gun controllers lie.  In other news, Custer having problems in Wyoming.


...and neither are the (vast) silent majority of car owners.


...never mind a new trial, this murderous little fuck should long ago have shared space on the gallows with OJ Simpson.


...key word:  France.


...nor should he, just for saying what millions of people also think.


...Chinese sportsmen corrupted by gambling interests… see Custer news, above.


...South Africa wins again.  Kill it with fire.

From the Women’s Section in INSIGNIFICA:

     

…oy.

And getting back to our regular Paige Three section:

And a couple others:

Can we have Too Much Paige?  I don’t think so.

And that’s it for the post-Christmas car.

Monday Funnies

…and the Monday after Christmas, even more reason to be happy:

…or something like that.

And a Christmas message:

And from my own family (Daughter and Son&Heir exchange):

And from the Bad Elf! Bad Elf! Bad Elf! Department:

And that’s it for this Monday.

Christmas Gift Ideas

Good question.  Here are a few gift ideas you can send to Santa.

From Steve Barnett (for the wealthy among us):  ABBIATICO & SALVINELLI – O/U PAIR 12 GA

A bargain, by the way, for a pair of matched shotguns from this gunmaker.

From Sportsman’s Warehouse:  Henry Pump Action Octagon Rifle .22 LR

Every home should have one.

From Collector’s Firearms:  Smith & Wesson 686-6 Plus .357 Mag

Nobody ever regretted buying one of these, but almost everyone regrets having sold one.

Hinterland Outfitters:  Ruger PC Carbine 9mm

I am seriously considering getting one of these, especially as I’m moving over to 9mm (!!!!) as my primary handgun caliber.

From Academy:  Ruger Wrangler .22 LR Revolver

This might actually be a decent “first handgun” for that grandson / granddaughter / nephew / niece that you love so much.

From Cabela’s:  CZ 612 Home Defense Pump-Action Shotgun 12ga

For those wanting something just a little different from the usual Mossberg / Winchester types…

That’s a decent little list, I think.  Something for everyone.

Conviviality

We have a guest in our house:  New Wife’s brother will be staying with us for a week or so, having managed the 330-hour flight from Johannesburg to DFW (some exaggeration, perhaps).

Anyway, he is a man of gargantuan tastes (despite being slender in frame), so yesterday consisted of picking him up from the airport, feeding him breakfast at our place followed by an evening which consisted of beer, wine and BBQ.  Also much laughter and good times (see title).

Today promises more of the same — and we haven’t even reached the Christmas weekend yet.

Oy.

And he brought with him from Seffrica all sorts of delicacies e.g. biltong, Richelieu brandy and various Christmas comestibles, so the effects of his visit will be felt long hence.

Next week will be spent pretty much at the range, as he attempts to deplete my ammo stock as much as he’s started to attack my booze cupboard.  Little does he know…

What fun.  What glorious, glorious fun.

My head hurts.
