National Ammo Day

November 19th is national ammo day, where we gun owners are supposed to go out and show how much economic clout we have by buying 100 rounds of centerfire ammo.

Thanks to the fine folks at Widner's, my tally is 40 rounds of .30-06 M2 ball and 60 rounds of 5.56x45mm M193. 

Depends On The Album

I've seen a meme that says that if you air-drum to a Def Leppard song with both arms you're an asshole.

I would say that any song that predates the Hysteria album is OK to use both arms, but from Hysteria on you have to limit yourself to one arm.

Fifth Of May

It's tradition.

 

Obligatory

Today is 10-22, so we post the obligatory 10-22.

What Day Is It?

 

I'm here all night, don't forget to tip your server.

Another Day Another Round

It's 4/10!

Bracing, don't you think?

Twofer

Today is National Medal of Honor Day and National Whiskey Day.

So you can have a shot of whisky and toast those who earned that itty bitty ribbon.

What Day Is It?

 

It's 3-08!

Because there's no 62nd of July.

Ruger Day

Today is 10/22 with an extra 22 on the end.

So I am reusing an old picture of Harvey's 10/22 with an extra 22!

You DO have a Ruger .22 of some sort, don't you?

I think it's mandatory.

Some Asshole Origin

Everyone agrees that this comic is where the "Some Asshole" response was first presented.

That Time Of Year Again

 

10/22 Day

Here's a pic of my 10/22!

I don't actually own an example of the most ubiquitous .22 LR ever made.

The Lovely Harvey has one, but the idea is to post a pic of your own, so...

ARRRRRRRR!

T'day be "Talk like a Pyrate Day" in the "civilized" world.

Don' say we dinnae warn ye!

Don' be no lubber.

Juxtaposition

Ayup.

Repossessed

If I say, "The '90's called and they want their meme back," what decade calls me to get the "the [decade] called" meme back?

1/1024

In honor of Fake Heritage Day yesterday I spent the day being 1/1024 Jewish and Harvey spent it 1/1024 Scottish.

When I mentioned it to her, she asked, "Didn't you have a bacon cheeseburger for lunch?"

I replied, "Yeah, it's like I'm not Jewish at all isn't it?"
