Smith and Wesson Governor

Taurus has been known for making copies of many guns produced by Smith and Wesson but the opposite hasn’t been true… until now. Smith and Wesson has released a new revolver called the Governor which will take .410 shotgun, .45 Colt, and .45 Auto. I think Massad Ayoob’s quote sums this gun up:

But, hey, if you’re gonna play the names, be cool about it. You can always buy a Taurus Judge AND a Smith & Wesson Governor, and wield ‘em both, one in each hand. When you confront your next burglar and he runs away with no blood spilled (the way such things usually end), you can shout after him, “You’ve been put on probation by the Judge, and been granted a reprieve by the Governor!”

It’s all about looking cool anyways.

Determination

Some people have determination and some do not. While some people would rob a Gamestop by walking in and holding the store up others are more dedicated to their trade and prefer to tunnel through a wall.

The man being charged broke into a vacant building next to the Gamestop and dug a hole in the wall separating to two properties. He then walked off with $5,342 worth of merchandise and $288.55 in cash. You have to give the man credit, tunneling through a wall takes determination.

1911 Shaped Bruise

Being yesterday was 1/9/11 I decided it would be a good idea to carry my 1911. On this day a group of friends and I decided to go ice skating. I take my carrying a little too far I guess because I was carrying my 1911 while ice skating. Due to a fall I had I now have a bruise on my side that looks very much like a 1911.

Pro-tip, carrying while ice skating can be pretty painful.

Even More Dead Birds

What the fuck? First 5,000 dead birds appear in Beebe, AR followed by 10,000 dead fish in Guy, AR, and now we have 500 more dead birds in Louisiana, 100 in Kentucky, and 50 to 100 in Sweden. I don’t believe my natural gas theory holds water on all of these but I do have a new theory:

Martians hate birds. Make no mistake, the invasion has begun. On the upside Congress shouldn’t be a thorn in our side for much longer.

USB is Evil

Most people realize that Firewire has much better sustained read and write speeds when compared to USB but I’ve never gone so far as to say USB is the Devil. Then again I’m not an Evangelical Christian in Brazil:

The evangelical cult “Paz do Senhor Amado” (“Peace of the beloved Lord”) in the interior of Brazil forbids its followers to use any USB technology by contending that it uses a symbol that shows sympathy for the devil.

According to its founder, the “Apostle” Welder Saldanha says that this is just another symbol of Satan, which is always present in all Christian homes.

“The symbol of that name (a name which he doesn’t even like to pronounce) is a trident, which is used to torture souls that go to hell. Use only a symbol of those shows that all users of that vile technology are actually worshipers of Satan” – explains the” Apostle”.

I actually lack any smart ass remark that could add to the hilarity of that statement.

Your Daily Laugh

Want to see something funny? If you answered yes then I have a clip for you (if you answered no then you have no sense of humor and I hate you). A couple of people walked around the recent Rally to Restore Sanity carrying a sign saying “Obama = Keynesian.” Hilarity ensues as people have no idea about economic theories make assumptions:
