That One Thing
So you’re going to be marooned on a deserted island somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. You can only take ONE thing with you.
What is it? Easy-peasy.
Swiss Army Champ XXL:
Hahaha. Just kidding. There’s way too much stuff on the XXL that you’ll never need, and all that makes it damn heavy and cumbersome.
The “ordinary” Champ will do just fine.
(As I recall, I have about three of the things scattered around the place: bedside drawer, toolbox and SHTF grab-‘n-go bag. Oh wait, there’s another one in the kitchen “junk” drawer too, so: four)
My only “improvement” would be to exchange the red plastic grips for grooved aluminum (which they make for the Mini-Champ and others, but inexplicably do not offer with the larger Champ models).
Feel free to argue with my choice in Comments.
By the way, this post was inspired by:
Thursday Landscape
The Old Bell Beer Garden, Hurley UK 2004
Just east of Henley-On-Thames. The Old Bell is one of the oldest pubs in the UK. Despite (or because of) that, it had a really crappy beer selection when we were there.
Predictable
So you’re part of a group of fishermen, walking off to your favorite fishing spot, when you encounter a herd of elephants. Most likely there are newborn calves in the herd, which is why the females take offense at a bunch of humans occupying the same zip code. So you flee the angry herd in panic, and take refuge in a nearby river. And the predictable occurs.
Doing My Bit
As I don’t have a Twatter account, I can’t do as Mr. Gervais requests. The best I can do, however, is this:
As for the underlying message (that Muslims think dogs are unclean — “najis”), I heartily concur with Ricky’s suggestion.
Ditto U.S. Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL), who said “If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one.”
(pic borrowed from C.W.)
And not just as it pertains to dog-hatred, either. I feel the same about “honor killings”, forcing women to wear niqabs, sha’ria “law”, “fatwas”, banning liquor, and all the other vile dogmatic slop these tits bring to our treasured Western civilization.
It may really be time for us to consider adding an asterisk to the First Amendment.
R.I.P.
…or not. I see that both Jesse Jackson and Robert Duvall have recently died.
I deeply mourn the passing of one, and am dancing a jig of joy for the death of the other. Feel free to guess which is which.
