Same thing happened to Monica Lewinsky.
Was it Officer Clinton, perchance?
Sorry, but it is good to let your juvenile humor out for a breather now and then.

Mr. Flashbang is no longer our friend.
The picture under the picture below is from some sort of Left Wing demonstration yesterday in Notre-Dame-des-Landes, France.

It seem the young fella caught a flash bang device tossed by the police before it did what it does normally and in the process, lost his hand.
Gun Solutions to everyday issues.
So mom complained this morning that her almost 40+-year-old sewing machine was running slow. We bought that thing way back in Venezuela and she was so attached to it that we brought it when she moved in with us.
I checked it and it was indeed running slow as crap, sluggish take off and you could hear the motor working too hard. So I brought the thing to my bench and after an inspection, it was determined that years of oil and crap needed to be removed. So, what is a Gun Aficionado to do?
Shooter’s Choice! TA-DA!
And now, and without any lubrication yet, the RPMs have increased five fold. Some nasty crud came out, let me tell ya. The only negative was mom doing her best impersonation of a helicopter making sure I did not screw up her baby.
Next: Lubrication. I am gonna use what’s left of my dwindling supply of Slipstream because it is Mom’s baby after all and I don’t want her pissed at me.
PS: According to mom, the machine was bough in the mid 1970s so it is past the 40 year mark. I am not arguing with the woman.
Please spare me the “I’m better and know best because I got military training.”
Just finished reading J.Kb’s post about NBC hiring some military Gun Control dude and I am done with the incredible smugness of those former officers that feel more akin to have the rules of Banana Republic that actual respect for the Constitution and the Bill of Rights
So, you are an expert in guns and should be the only one allowed to have them because you had military training ? Please then explain this to me about military firearms training:
In World War II, an average of 20,000 rounds were used to kill an enemy.
In Vietnam. the number jumped to 50,000 round per enemy kill.
In the War on Terror, the numbers leaped to 250,000 per enemy kill.
How fucking accurate are you guys?
OK, now we are going to have people complaining that a lot of that ammo goes for training. How much? 50%? 60%? 90%? If we settle for 99% of the ammo consumption going for training, that leaves us with 2,500 rounds fired per kill! So exactly what kind of screwed up training did you get where you spent a quarter million rounds and yet it still takes you 2,500 rounds to put an insurgent down? And that is the training you want civilians to take before exercising our rights to bear arms?
I know, next I am gonna hear the people complaining about how I am exaggerating because I am not taking in consideration covering fire and the use of full automatic weapons including crew served weapons. For some reason, a question gets repeated: is that the training you want civilians to take before exercising our rights to bear arms? You want civilians responding to a break in their homes or defending a neighbor by shooting magazine after magazine to cover an area rather than precise shots to take out a dangerous criminal?
Interesting enough, Civilian use of firearms in self-defense runs with a very low count. How low? You will be hard pressed to find enough cases where a round count above 15 (standard magazine capacity) is even mentioned anywhere. We train reloads as much a response to weapon’s malfunction as of need to continue to be in the fight.
As for usage during training? I think our country would do better sending our soldiers to places like Thunder Ranch where some of the best training is concentrated in three days and only requires 900 rounds for a basic course and another three days and 1,000 rounds for an advanced course. And believe me, being trained by Thunder Ranch will produce better and smarter shooters than anything the military can offer in Basic Training….and cheaper too.
And if the above is not enough about killing the idea that the Military firearms instruction applies in Civilian life, here is the link to an old post of mine: Again on Instructors.
