Musings

  • Is it a bad thing when you clean a gun and feel ashamed of yourself for the way it looks when you start?
  • Cleaning a gun with a bunch of little springs gives you an excuse to buy a new set of springs when one of them goes into orbit.
  • If you want to disassemble the trigger on your rifle, you better know how to reassemble the trigger on your rifle.
  • DaddyBear is not allowed to tell the co-op to consider a career as the piano player in a whore house.
  • It does not go “And then the last centurion lay down his shield, married a stripper, and bought a used Mustang”.  I stand corrected.
  • I think Irish Woman and I have finally found the solution for what to get each other for Christmas.  She got diamonds, top shelf bourbon, and dark chocolate.  I got flannel and ammunition.
  • The air hockey table I got for the family seems to be a hit.  Now to get it out of the living room.
  • In related news, my studies indicate that an air hockey table, placed upon a hardwood floor, sounds exactly like someone is taking a buzz saw to the house when you’re downstairs trying to listen to a conference call for work.
  • Girlie Bear had a date with her young man today, and since she seems to have ducked the illness that Boo and I had over Christmas, I let her go.  I promise that my advice to her to not hold hands, cuddle, or kiss had entirely to do with not wanting to spread whatever bug is running through our house.

    Heh… You WILL find the spring with the vacuum cleaner in a month, and it WILL hang up in the mechanism… Good luck with that air hockey game! A four rail bank shot will go in on occasion too… 🙂

    Since reading about the AR that has gone 20,000 rounds without cleaning, I feel much less guilty.

    OLDNFO, he might find it first – Koshka might. With glee. To be misplaced around the house Gremlin’s love for small flying springs and rolling things and skittering bits has contributed to Oleg’s strong desire for help cleaning his guns in a cat-free area.

    Peter is now training Kili about the joys of magazine follower springs, and just how far floorplates can be pounced up on and batted under things. At least, that’s what the result is…

    I read a wonderful, wonderful 1-star review recently. “Ringo is almost Tom Kratman-levels of bad.”
