Dead Goblin..

Oh ya, what a way to start off the weekend. I got this from not one, but two different sources. Cleveland's Action News 19

Jessie Buchanan, 19, of Lakewood, walked into a grocery Thursday evening with a gun, demanded money and threatened the five people inside. Nadim Shalamy, 71, of Lakewood, shot the robber in the head, police said.

WOOHOO!! (waiting for clapping to quiet down)

As the Great Chairman Kim DuToit says, "..old age and treachery will beat youth and vigor, every day of the week -- especially when old age and treachery includes gun ownership."

I just wish this hadn't happened one week prior.

DEAD GOBLIN COUNT: 6

One week..

Well, one week to go. Thus begins the REAL Christmas shopping season. Those of us who frantically race around at the last minute trying to find that most coveted of toys. You know, they should make that into a movie. Oh, wait, they DID!

It's Christmas Eve, and Arnold needs to find a Turbo Man action figure, the craze of the season. Only they're sold-out, of course. So the race is on, and Arnold does fierce battle with other shoppers and merchants alike, all for the prize toy with which to purchase his son's affections.

I loved this movie! Went out and bought it, and the "Turbo Man" doll they marketed after the movie! It is now a Christmas tradition, right along with watching 'Alfie' and his Red Ryder BB gun in "A Christmas Story."

Ummm. The Red Ryder BB Gun. OK. It's not particularly Politically Incorrect, but what the hell!

Oh yes, the boy will be graduating up to one this year. It is a special surprise from Santa. It will be stored in our gun safe, and he will take it with us when we go to the range. Gun safety/education starts in the home.

having a friend for lunch...

"I'm having an old friend for lunch.."
Those were the immortal words of Hannibal Lecter..
Now, meet Gumaro de Dios Arias, the newest addition to the Hannibal family.

"He was preparing stews. There was a grill where he was cooking part of the heart and bits he had cut off the body. It was terrible, terrible," said local police chief Martin Estrada, who was among a dozen police who raided the shack.

Anybody want to go get some mexican...food?

Crazy California..

I got this from a forum I am a member of..

Well, it would appear that the residents of the city of San Francisco will have the opportunity to make their streets a safer place. On the next ballot, they will be voting to make handgun ownership by anyone other than a Law Enforcement Officer, Security Guard, or the Military...ILLEGAL! Hurray! Finally! We will have a true test case in the US, in the 21st century, of how gun bans JUST DON"T FUCKING WORK!

SAN FRANCISCO -- City residents will vote next year on a proposed weapons ban that would deny handguns to everyone except law enforcement officers, members of the military and security guards.

If passed next November, residents would have 90 days to give up firearms they keep in their homes or businesses.

OK, so they have tried this in Washington DC. Believing that they were creating this idyllic, utopian society model. That cities all across the US would follow suit in the next decade. All they succeeded in doing was creating a giant victim zone. It tells all the Goblins that EVERYBODY is unarmed, and easy pickins! Washington DC is also the murder capital of the US. That's right. The smallest state in the union, has the highest murder rate per capita.

I just hope the rocket scientists in Olympia don't get any brilliant ideas... I would HATE to have to move again!

Lap Pillow..

What in the Sweet Chocolate Christ will they think of next? A freakin pillow shaped like the lap of a woman?

Lap Pillow, ya right.

One popular item for holiday shoppers is the "lap pillow," with skin-colored polyurethene calves folded under soft thighs -- a comfy cushion for napping, reading or watching television.

Ok, I'll bite. What do people in Japan think of this item?

At stores, lap pillows gather crowds where people poke and pry at the foam legs.

No Shit. Imagine that. They poke and pry and try to undress it. I wonder if it's anatomically correct?

MICHELLE C. I want one. Please email me your Paypal info ASAP!

PIG Pic..

Well, for our PIG pic of the week, I have selected the nemesis of the M1 Garand, the German M48 Mauser.

This battle proven bolt action rifle has seen combat from Russia to North Africa, from France to China. This particular model, the M48, uses the ohhhh-sooo reliable Mauser 98 action, and can be had for the sum of $299. (For that $299, you get EVERYTHING you see. The ammo belt, bayonet, cleaning kit, etc.) It is chambered in 8mm (8x 57js.) I already have the Walther (Mauser-Werke byf43) P-38 to go with it. This would help to complete my collection of WWII firearms!

If you are interested in buying one, go to Mitchell's Mausers. Just leave one for me!

Still No NHL...

I blogged once before on how this NHL lockout is just ridiculous. It would appear that talks have again broken down, and we truly may have no hockey this season.

NHL Players Association Executive Committee President Trevor Linden (C) of the Vancouver Canucks, and committee members Vincent Damphousse (L) of the Colorado Avalanche and Bill Guerin of the Dallas Stars attend a press conference after meeting with NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman at the NHL offices in Toronto, December 14, 2004. The two sides met again to try to resolve the lockout that has wiped out 414 games of the NHL season. REUTERS/Mike Cassese

Yahoo, had this story about how both sides are whiney little bitches, and need to grow up and be happy with the MILLIONS they are getting paid already.

No new meetings have been scheduled, making it quite possible that the NHL will become the first North American sports league to cancel a full season because of a labor dispute.

What the fuck. I think I am gonna be sick. No regular season, no all-stars game, no play-off, no Stanley Cup...

Hey guys, what do you think Lord Stanley would say about how both of you are acting?
