I am SO sorry to do this to y’all, but I don’t see why I should be the only one to have this stupid ditty buzzing around in my brain like a demented wasp.

I see that some double-murderer / illegal immigrant / prison escapee has now managed to break into a house and steal a gun.
Convicted 34-year-old killer Danelo Cavalcante escaped the Chester County, Pa., Prison on August 31 by crab-walking up a wall. In the last 13 days, the fugitive (who is also an illegal immigrant from Brazil) has been spotted by surveillance tapes and eyewitnesses; the most recent witness confronted the convict in his South Coventry Township home, stealing a .22 caliber rifle. The homeowner fired a pistol at Cavalcante, but there is no evidence of bodily injury.
Of course, warnings have been issued, schools closed etc. etc.
Conspicuously absent from all this is something I would certainly support: a recommendation to shoot the bastard dead on sight. Never mind all that calling the cops, seeking refuge and running away nonsense; if you see him, kill him.
And a sizeable cash reward for doing so would certainly not be out of order, either.

And I don’t want to hear any bullshit about “vigilante justice”, “right to a fair trial”, “taking the law into your own hands” or anything of a similar nature.
If ever somebody needed killing, it’s this asshole. Vermin, plain and simple, and should be dealt with as such.
Update: Okay, he’s been recaptured. Never mind. They used dogs on him:

Wait…where did this psychedelic stuff come from — some kind of flashback?
Bucks
Here’s a nice little tribute piece about the Buck 110 folder.
I’ve always loved Buck knives — pretty much of any type or description — and I sometimes wonder why I don’t own more than one, a Buck 500 Gent (now called the “Duke”), which has been a constant companion for over forty years.

That 110 is calling me — drop point blade, ebony grip plus brass caps… what’s not to like?
