Boxing Day Blowout

Yesterday we hosted the family for our traditional Christmas breakfast:

…but that was yesterday.

Today is Boxing Day, which for our family is as important as Thanksgiving.

Oh yes… ’tis the time that famille du Toit has its Christmas Day dinner (a day late but certainly not a dollar short):  roast beef, roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding, this year all ably prepared by Daughter and hosted by the Son&Heir at his place.

See y’all tomorrow.

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.
