This is very close to what I came home to this evening. According to Irish Woman, everyone was calm and well behaved until I came through the door, then all hell broke loose.
(Music starts at around 1 minute, but the whole thing is pretty funny)

Friends of the NRA Update
Here are a few updates from the Greater Louisville Chapter of the Friends of the NRA.
- A big thank you to everyone who contributed, bought drawing tickets, or attended a banquet in 2014. Thanks to everything that you all did in 2014, the Kentucky committees were able to give out over $194,000.00, all raised in Kentucky, to youth shooting programs across the state, including JROTC, 4H, and the Scouts. Remember, all proceeds from what we do go toward making sure that today’s shooters have good, safe places to enjoy our sport, and that tomorrow’s shooters have resources for safe learning and fun.
- The Louisville chapter will be having its annual banquet on August 2. Ticket prices and packages should be available in the next month or so. Other chapters are already holding their banquets, so please check out the webpage to find your local committee.
- If you want to donate to our banquet or want to sponsor some of the guns and other great gear that we will be giving away or auctioning off at the banquet, please let me know. Donations can be pretty much anything you want, and sponsorships start at less than $100. All sponsors and donations will receive thank you’s in the brochure at the banquet and mentions during the auction.
- We also have ads in the banquet brochure if anyone would like to get some exposure to potential customers. They range from small to full page.
- As always, if you’re interested in becoming a volunteer, we’d love to have you. Just hit me up and I’ll point you in the right direction. Volunteering can mean selling raffle and banquet tickets, working at our tables at expo’s and machine gun shoots, and working at our annual banquet.
- We want to hear from you! As we put together the packages and guns for our banquet, please let us know if there are any hard-to-get guns that you’d like to see in a game, raffle, or auction. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
- And finally, Mr. Douglas, have I got a deal for you! The Louisville FNRA chapter is having a safe raffle. For the low, low cost of $50 a ticket, you get a 1 in 300 chance of winning the following:
- Cannon Challenger 24 Gun Safe
- Browning Buckmark Camper in .22 Long Rifle
- Glock 19 in 9mm
- Kimber Custom II in .45 ACP
- Ruger American Rimfire in .22 Long Rifle
- Winchester SXP 12 Gauge
- Benelli Nova Max 4 12 Gauge
- Mossberg MVP Predator Combo in .223
- Savage II Combo in .270 Winchester
- Daniel Defense DDMav1 in 5.56
- Armalite AR-10 in 7.62
- Walther PK380
- Ruger SP101 in .357 Magnum
- The safe raffle runs through the end of the Knob Creek Machine Gun Shoot on April 12. Of course, all guns must be cleared through an FFL. However, if you’re local to Louisville, I have it on good authority that a certain big, dumb Norwegian will be assisting in delivering the safe to the winner.
- If you’d like to become a sponsor, volunteer, or get tickets for the safe raffle, hit me up at daddybear@daddybearsden.com.
- Thanks again to everyone who helped us out in 2014! If you’re not in Louisville, please check out your local committee and pitch in!

Liveblogging the Superbowl
18:17 – Wow, that’s an odd arrangement for the Star Spangled Banner. He really hit the note at the end, though.
18:19 – Much better. I noticed the only soldier they showed from Afghanistan who was armed was a female, by the way.
18:21 – A Sponge Bob movie. Oh frabulous joy.
18:22 – Yep, because women love trucks so that they can cheat with the guy in the truck.
18:22 – No, I will not hug you for a McNugget.
18:23 – The SNL 40th anniversary show is coming. I just wish Eddie Murphy was alive to see it.
18:24 – If Belichick touched that coin or was even in the same room with it, I want it weighed and balanced before the toss.
18:26 – Irish Woman remarks that the female reporter talking to Pete Carroll looks naked in that shirt. Hey, it got my attention.
18:25 – Richard Sherman is nursing an injury. Obviously, it’s not related to his ability to speak.
18:27 – I’m ready to buy tickets now. Not to the movie. To the Park.
18:28 – What would I do if my TV went out tonight? Heck, I might just talk to the wife about the duality of man or something.
18:31 – And away we go.
18:35 – Come on, guys, do something I can be snarky about.
18:37 – No, no, no. You’re supposed to cut Tom Brady off at the knees.
18:38 – Yep, the Founding Fathers were just looking for a way to get their taxes done for free.
18:41 – Hey, guys, if you keep giving the ball to the same guy, eventually the other side will figure it out. Seattle does 3 and out.
18:42 – Kate Upton in a breastplate / pushup bra. Where’s my phone? I need to go to the app store.
18:43 – TomorrowLand, because the Haunted Mansion movie didn’t flop.
18:43 – Bryant Gumbel is on my TV. Why in the name of whatever is holy is he doing on my #!@#$!!@#$! television? Oh, and thanks for the all over squicky body shiver when I envisioned the Crypt Keeper twerking.
18:47 – Why did they let Gronkowski get that first down? Can’t they see the big yellow line and stop him before he gets there?
18:52 – Brady picked off at the goal line. Oh, and he got hit. I’m a happy guy.
18:54 – Machete don’t need no Snickers. Machete is good the way he is.
18:55 – As Brady wipes away his sweet, sweet tears, the coach is showing him where he poked the pooch.
18:57 – If Wilson was given any more time in the backfield on that play, he would have had to declare residency in Arizona. End of 1st Quarter.
18:58 – Remember, President Kennedy wants you to go to sea, but don’t forget your personal pharmacy for the intestinal problems you get on cruise ships.
18:59 – Is it just me, or does Kim Kardashian’s top look like those bars they used to put in front of people’s eyes in old time porn?
19:03 – Because nothing sells beer like lost puppies and their Clydesdale posse.
19:04 – I’d let her kiss me. Just saying.
19:05 – Terminator 7: The Last RINO. Can’t hardly wait.
19:05 – Katy Perry and Lenny Kravitz? They’ll go together like liverwurst and kim chi.
19:10 – Random thought – Is there a Korean pop-tart singer with a stage name of “Kim Chi”?
19:11 – Touchdown New England. 7 – 0.
19:13 – Apparently pouring a sugary, acidic, water- based liquid into my servers will make the world a better place. I need to bring this up at the next technical roundtable discussion.
19:14 – Is some poor helicopter pilot being paid gobs of money to just fly up and down the Grand Canyon tonight?
19:20 – Apparently it’s a big enough deal that one of the quarterbacks hasn’t completed a pass that they’ve mentioned it four times in two minutes.
19:22 – So that’s what it looks like when a race car driver picks up his son for court-ordered visitation.
19:26 – Wow, NationWide, right in the feels. Well played.
19:28 – Marshawn Lynch is only carrying the ball so that he doesn’t get a fine.
19:29 – Close your mouth, coach, you’ll draw flies.
19:31 – Well, what do you know, the Seahawks have an air game. Who knew?
19:33 – Touchdown Seattle – Game tied at 7
19:35 – Just give me my #$!@#$!@ coffee and let me get on with my #!$@#$! day.
19:39 – So, Fiat got a boner and produced a station wagon. Cool.
19:44 – Hey, I know. We all want to knock Tom Brady on his ass. But you gotta wait for the ball to move.
19:47 – Wait, that’s real grass? In Phoenix? And they wonder why the rest of Arizona hates them.
19:47 – Touchdown New England. 14-7.
19:49 – What is it with the “Hit them in the feels” commercials this year? I came here to laugh and enjoy people catching footballs, not to feel.
19:55 – The key to victory is to make decisions. Do, or do not. There is no try.
19:58 – Touchdown Seattle – Game tied at 14. End of 1st Half.
20:04 – It’s a sign of the apocalypse, brothers and sisters. Bob Costas is allowing a little gray to show through the shoe polish.
20:08 – Note to manufacturers – Do not use the uniform to sell cars. Seriously. Thank you.
20:11 – And now the HalfTime Show, starring Katy Perry as Michael Jackson.
20:12 – Can I get a little more echo in my playback, please? I can almost make out the music. On second hand, never mind, this is better.
20:16 – Costume change. Bounce Bounce Bounce. OK, now, I see the secrets of her success.
20:21 – And now, Katy Perry in Godspell.
20:25 – Confidence for young ladies, brought to you by tampons.
20:26 – Bob Costas is pontificating again. The last time I saw a mouth like that, it had a hook in it.
20:32 – Beginning of 2nd Half.
20:33 – Words of wisdom from Belichick – In a tied game, whichever team plays better in this half will win.
20:36 – The field goal crew for Seattle had to put their beers down before they got out to the field, but they are good for 3. 17 to 14 Seattle.
20:38 – Soon, Liam Neeson will be speaking out about civilian ownership of swords and magical fiery dragons.
20:47 – Apparently the grounding rule has been waived this evening.
20:48 – Seattle intercepts again. Richard Sherman celebrates by blocking somebody in the back.
20:53 – Seattle touchdown. 24 -14 Seattle. Seattle player penalized for celebrating a touchdown in the Super Bowl. There is no justice in this world.
20:55 – Someday I want to be as smooth as Pierce Brosnan. I really like fireworks, too.
20:58 – “Sorry, it’s a boy”. Screw you and T-Mobile, Sarah Silverman.
21:01 – And what do you do? I’m an NFL neuro-trauma consultant. — I want to hear this at a barbecue.
21:03 – Oh, sweet. An old chestnut from a communist used to sell cars made by a multi-national capitalist conglomerate. This land is your land, but I’m a gonna drive my Jeep across it.
21:12 – The most Google’d auto brand is Ford. People are using Google to look for answers to symptoms.
21:14 – Did I just see a guy get tacked via Atomic Wedgie?
21:16 – Oh, wow. It’s the 4th Quarter.
21:18 – A sequel to Ted. Yep. They’ve run out of ideas.
21:19 – LocTite may just have won the SuperBowl. Weird commercial, but at least it was entertaining.
21:20 – Oh, gee, oh golly gosh darn. Brady got sacked.
21:27 – Touchdown New England – 21 – 24 Seattle
21:29 – Seriously, I just wanted a beer. I don’t even like video games!
21:30 – Tom Brady now holds a record for Superbowl touchdowns at 12, surpassing Joe Montana. Of course, he already holds the NFL career record for Most Insufferable Douchebag from the Bay Area.
21:32 – I was hoping the tortoise would use that Mercedes to run over the hare.
21:37 – Pork from above! Doritos wants you to know that no pigs were hurt during filming of that commercial. Not counting the ones that were served at the post-shoot barbecue.
21:47 – Touchdown New England. 28 – 24 New England
21:51 – The Victoria’s Secret commercial reminds me that we haven’t seen the cheerleaders during the game.
21:56 – Now, that was a very, very pretty catch. I don’t think the receiver knew whether or not he’d actually caught it.
21:59 – Pass intercepted by New England at the goal line. Belichick and Brady begin the ritual sacrifice of a goat in thanksgiving.
22:03 – Seattle steps on it schwanz and lets New England get out off the goal line. Seattle coaching staff begins preparations to sacrifice a defensive back pour encourageur les autres.
22:04 – A hockey game breaks out after the whistle on the last play. A Seattle player is ejected so that he can be ritually cleansed for the post-game sacrifice.
22:06 – Belichick is doused with Gatorade to wash the slime off before the post-game interviews.
22:06 – New England takes a knee and wins the Super Bowl. Good night and good luck.

Musings
- A ‘coon skin hat, a 6 year old, and a small dog make for hours of entertainment.
- “Huh, I’ve never seen it do that before” is not something you want to hear from a vendor while they’re fixing something.
- Apparently, the smell of chicken frying is an aphrodisiac in the South. I had no idea.
- To my amazement, the kitchen renovation that we need to do will probably cost about as much as the down payment on the hunting land I was looking at the other night.
- Tonight, I also learned that countertops go from the affordable, yet tacky, up to holy-crap-my-first-car-didn’t-cost-that-much a square foot, yet tacky.
- When looking at new kitchen stoves, it is not a good thing to have your eyes bug out and clutch at your chest.

For those of you who have always wondered what Irish Woman looks like, here you go. Except with out the whole cocaine, crazy, bad plastic surgery thing. No, my lovely mate has matured like a fine wine, not turned to vinegar in the cask.

News Roundup
- From the “Genius!” Department – The zoo in San Francisco is advertising adoption of such animals as the hissing cockroach and scorpions in honor of ex’es. Yes, you can pay money so that your deadbeat ex-husband or cheating ex-wife can be associated with vermin, or at least, different vermin. I am in conversations with the Russian Space Agency to adopt Sputnik in honor of my ex, because it’s generally spherical and rather pointy in places*.
- From the “Cabin Fever” Department – A Bostonian recently took advantage of the rough weather to walk around his neighborhood in a yeti costume. In related news, I haven’t heard from Weer’d Beard lately.
- From the “Say Cheese” Department – A woman in Michigan is suing the city of Dearborn Heights because she was forced to remove her Muslim head scarf during a booking photo. She was under arrest for driving on a suspended license, and there was no female officer available at the time to do the photo. Her suit alleges that the police and the city violated her First Amendment rights. I side with the city on this one. If you’re being booked, the city needs to know what your face looks like, and to make sure you’re not smuggling weapons or contraband into jail.
- From the “Qel Surpris” Department – As further evidence that some animals are more equal than others, reports are coming out that the Washington D.C. police wanted to arrest NBC personality David Gregory after he waved a 30 round magazine on national TV. It would appear that somewhere between the police and the courthouse, however, an angel appeared to the prosecutor, and spake unto him “This is my favored reporter. Touch not a hair on his head, nor blemish his reputation.” And so, instead of being brought up on charges under D.C.’s gun laws, Mr. Gregory has continued doing his life’s work, throwing softballs to Democrat politicians.
- From the “Stupid People Tricks” Department – Kids, if you’re going to carry, make sure that you put that gun away before going to get on the plane, because Uncle Badtouch is perfectly happy to confiscate it and have you arrested if you forget. Also, your range bag is for the range, not the airport. I wonder how many people have gotten in trouble because a loaded magazine or a few loose rounds were at the bottom of their carry on?
- From the “Dammit!” Department – The measles outbreak that has been traced back to a visitor to Disneyland continues to grow. Health officials in California have asked that 30 babies in Alameda be kept isolated from other children after they were exposed to measles. In an age of ebola, super flu’s, MRSA, and the Vietnamese black crotch rot, why are we still worried about measles? But, hey, who are you going to believe about the benefits of immunizing against deadly diseases, a physician or some dude with a WordPress account?
- From the “Would Smell as Sweet” Department – The French government recently told a mother that she could not name her child “Nutella”, while another lost her fight to name her child “Strawberry”. La-a was not available for comment.
- From the “Enemy of my Enemy” Department – The DPRK recently characterized remarks made by President Obama as “nothing but a poor grumble of a loser.” I had to read further into the story to notice that they weren’t talking about his last State of the Union address.
- From the “Peasants!” Department – A Kentucky state senator is trying to get his arrest for drunken driving quashed. It would appear that Kentucky law says that a lawmaker cannot be arrested while attending a session of the legislature. However, whether or not Senator Schlitz was enroute to or from the capitol is a bit of a controversy. Nothing like having those who make the laws find a way to be above them.
*Yes, I shamelessly stole that line.
