Gratuitous Gun Pic – Remington 7400 (.270 Win)

December 31, 2021 Kim du Toit Gratuitous Gun Pics, The Gun Thing

Also just in at Collectors is the rifle for those who are leery of owning an “assault rifle”, or whose state government provides the leeriness: the semi-auto hunting rifle of all time, in the all-time hunting cartridge.

I once had one of these exact guns, traded it for something else, and regretted the trade almost immediately afterwards. (The fact that I remember this gun and not the gun I traded it for speaks volumes.)

I know, it only has a 5-round magazine, but 10-round mags cost only $30 or so. And the gun itself is a decent buy at just under $800 — remember, Collectors has premium pricing so if you find one elsewhere cheaper, be my guest; but Collectors doesn’t sell crap or broken guns.

News Roundup

December 31, 2021 Kim du Toit Bad News

Might as well end the year with a whimper…

…not as strange as some of the other stuff he’s supposed to be in charge of, sweetie.

…killing your sister because you don’t agree with her way of life is a cultural thing, you see, so they won’t be charged.

…another cultural custom, of course.

From the Heart Of Stone Department:

…if this was California or New York, those three deaths would be entered as “Death Caused By Covid”.

…I don’t think Mr. Wretched has had breakfast at Cracker Barrel for quite a while.

…I’d be really curious to see how what percentage of those women are married.

…I see that the rodent was “humanely trapped” and handed over to the SPCA. Lucky squirrel; in any American town not in California, he’d have been shot dead in less than ten minutes after the first bite — along with a few dozen others, just to be sure.

…the offender being Irish, I’m amazed that this even made the news.

And now it’s time for the last INSIGNIFICA of 2021:

…Fauci who?

Finally:

…I know, I know… you want to see proof.

I dunno about “perfect”, but they sure as hell ain’t too bad.

And now the Bad News Department will be signing off till next year…

Addendum

December 30, 2021 Kim du Toit Awards

I knew I should have waited a bit before posting my Best In 2021. Still, better late than never.

Best Obituary: Battleswarm

“Leaving a trail of slime behind him –”
Start over.
“A repugnant, repulsive reptile –”
Try again.
“What can be said about him that hasn’t already been said about bubonic plague?”
Strike that.

Man, I’m really having trouble staying on the high road for this Harry Reid obit.

I went back and added it to the Awards post. Oceania has always… etc. [/1984]

Guilty!

Here we go:

Well…

Okay, that’s probably not going to happen. So let the memes begin:

Well, let’s look at the circumstances:

So it doesn’t take a genius to connect the dots:

Oh well. Not that the Clintons were the only family involved:

And the last word:

Un-P.C. Awards: 2021

December 30, 2021 Kim du Toit Awards

Here we are for the inaugural Un-P.C. Awards ceremony. Unlike all the other awards ceremonies, this one isn’t fixed (Oscars, F1, coff, coff ) in that all decisions are made by one man, i.e. Yer Humble (and Unbribable) Narrator and chief supervisor of Kim’s Beer & Treason Brigade.

So here are the winners (no podium finishers for reasons of space / patience, but a couple could actually be lifetime award winners).
