Gratuitous Gun Pic: Parker VH 410 (.410)

Gratuitous Gun Pics

Okay, here’s one last look at a .410 shotgun at Steve Barnett’s: an old but very lovely Parker:

The price of this piece is on a par with that of most Parkers made in this era:  spendy, but not excessively so.  I have fired many Parker shotguns of all sizes and gauge, and have to agree with everyone else who’s ever fired one, that they’re reliable, quality and rugged guns which are well worth the investment.

Certainly, if I had the funds I would strongly consider snatching up the above because a.) side-by-side barrels and b.) double trigger.  (The rounded pistol grip is a negative, but not a huge one in this case.)

Righteous Shootings

One more time:

Homicide Unit detectives are investigating a self-defense claim following Saturday’s 3:30 a.m. fatal shooting of DeCarlos Groves, 25, inside the Corner Mart, 2600 Clarksville Pike.

A review of the store’s video surveillance shows Groves producing a handgun during an apparent robbery attempt. Groves then jumped over the counter, landing on top of the store clerk, Peter Fang, 20. Fang retrieved a weapon from his shirt pocket which discharged as Groves landed on him, striking Groves. As the struggle continued, additional shots were fired from Fang’s gun and Groves fell to the floor. Fang called police. Groves died at the scene.

Not to prejudice the thing, of course, but “Guess The Scumbag’s Efnicity” will be a slam-dunk.

Given the clear video evidence of the event, Our Hero will be sent on his way with an attaboy from the po-po.  And from my Readers, too.

Bad News

Speaking of tranquilized women:


...you had me at “zodiac zealots” — a more polite way to term “superstitious morons”.  And speaking of idiots:


...animal lovers:  no helping them.


...not to mention all those “teens” on the street where she lives in NYfC.


...yeah, how dare they.  And speaking of the Constitution:


...so lemme see:  all-White golf clubs (for example) are Constitutionally protected?  Got it.

It’s the Chicago Way:


...I would suggest that the bonus-holers who put them there are the real trash, but I’m just a man so what do I know?


...adds meaning to the term “Officer Friendly”, dunnit?  Although it must be said that being forced to give a government agent a blowjob is very good training for future citizens.

More Lawn Order News:


...my guess is that his Spanish is going to improve, big time.


...just another example of that famous “British Tolerance”.


...and nobody saw this coming, of course.  [/sarc]

Finally, in Sporting News:


...have to say, I didn’t see it either:

“Who she?”  you ask.  No idea, but here’s some more of her:

Quite sporty.  And that’s it for the news.

Strange Suggestion

Politics

This article made me go “Huh?”

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) is pushing for the FBI to move its headquarters outside of the Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Area, suggesting Alabama as an alternative location.

I’m all for moving the Fibbies out of D.C., but what did Alabama do to deserve this unwarranted intrusion?

I would propose Fairbanks Alaska as the proper relocation option, not because I have anything against the Fairbanksians or Alaska in general, but if anyone can think of a place where these bloodless fucks can better stay out of trouble, I’d be glad to hear it.

Also, I like the idea of Fibbies freezing their asses off for nine months of the year, and living in total darkness for the same period.

Besides, Alaska needs the jobs that such a move would bring.

HOW Much?

Men & Women

I am not a wealth envy-kinda guy, and I generally have no problem with people going after money… but yikes:

Kevin Costner’s estranged wife Christine Baumgartner is awarded $129,000 per month child support – just HALF the amount she demanded – amid VERY ugly divorce war

Do they have a dozen kids that need supporting?  Indeed not:

The former couple share three children: sons Cayden, 16; and Hayes, 14; along with their younger daughter Grace, 13.

They will also be splitting expenses down the middle for the kids’ pricey private school tuition, as well as their extracurricular activities, which includes sports.

Baseball gloves from Gucci, tennis shoes from Jimmy Choo, Tiffany reading lamps, leather-bound autographed first-edition school text books, diamond-encrusted tennis racquets from Fabergé:  I’m amazed that the amount was pushed down to a lousy $129k per month from the $500k / month (!) she’d been seeking.

Here’s what gets in my craw.  If this gold-digging whore (thank you, Mr. William Burr) had been the wife who helped ol’ Kevin become this movie star, I might — might — be a little more sympathetic towards her “needs”.  But no:  Costner ditched his first wife (who had supported him through the lean years before stardom) and went on to marry Wife #2, this tree-gardener woman (after shagging women of the Elle McPherson ilk).

So in a sense, I guess he got what was coming to him, eventually.

I’m just astonished that he could actually afford to pay $129k per month, but then again he’s a big Hollywood star.  (And just to be clear, I actually like him as an actor, and know quite a bit about his background because my late wife Connie was very briefly his agent, back in her Hollywood days.)

The sums of money just make my head spin.
