So let me get this straight. You ran 13 miles and nobody was chasing you? On purpose?

Good deal. Where are you taking it?

It ain't a party if there aren't any guns anyway. Now that would be a Christmas party!

I don't think it cheapens the sacrifices of anyone else. I certainly have no less respect for those that have given much or all. If anything, it makes me respect them more. This guy definitely seems to be a Grade A douchebag, though.

Dammit, I'm ashamed to admit that I don't have an American flag flying in front of my house. That will be corrected before the weekend is out though. This guy is a Congressional Medal Of Honor winner? If I was in that neighborhood I would tell the HOA what a bunch of asshats they are and I would help him build a human shield in front of the flagpole or whatever it took to keep it up. EDIT: Had to add this from foxnews.com: "Barfoot is one of the country's last living World War II veterans who received the Medal of Honor. He also served in the Korean War and the Vietnam War and earned a Purple Heart. In WWII, Barfoot showed his mettle in Carano, Italy, where he single-handedly destroyed a set of German machine gun nests, killed eight enemy soldiers, took 17 prisoners and stared down a tank before destroying it and killing its crew — all in a single day. Exhausted by his herculean efforts, he still managed to move two of his wounded men 1,700 yards to safety." Holy crap, what a stud! That guy did more before 9AM than most of us do in a lifetime!

A Retrosexual man can drive in snow (hell, a blizzard) without sliding all over or driving under 20mph, without anxiety, and without high-centering his ride in a snow bank. My wife hates it when I drive in snow. But I ain't sittin' at the back of the pack, either.

I think I just got a cavity - that was sooooo sweet!

I totally got reamed by a Marine First Sergeant for saluting a Lieutenant and saying, "All the way, sir." I think he thought I said, "Outta the way, sir." AIRBORNE!

Geek.

Too bad he didn't do the demo the drill sergeants do when showing how much the M16 kicks: place on crotch, pull trigger.

Four time fifty living men And I heard nor groan nor sigh Each turned his face with a ghastly pang And cursed me with his eye Four times fifty living men And I heard nor sigh nor groan With heavy thump A lifeless lump They dropped down, one by one I love the Rime of the Ancient Mariner. It's my all time favorite. Oh, and welcome to TGO, Don.

Same as every year - "It's A Wonderful Life."

I have a Savage 30.06 - not sure which model, but it doesn't have the accutrigger. I haven't shot it a lot, but it zeroed easily and was very accurate for the zero. I'll let you know how well it does when I finally take my first deer with it.

Because Christmas has become so commercial and my family is pretty blessed, we are focusing more on giving this year. The TGO thing hit at just the right time, in addition to some tree angels and gifts for the troops, it should shape up to be a pretty good Christmas.

There are some really cute cards in there.

Yet another great read that makes me wish I was more articulate. Very, very well thought out and excellent points.

Come on, have you ever tasted quiche? That's some nasty doo doo! Give me some good ole' sushi though! Now that's the stuff!

My God. My eyes. What has been seen cannot be unseen. Damn you both.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I know it's late, but I'm stuck in Chicago, aka Guns-Are-Evil-Town. Wish me luck getting back alive.

I wish I could cheat. I'm still empty handed, while my partner bagged a nice buck this morning at 0630. And here I am stuck in Chicago!

Love my SOG Trident Tanto. It's got tacticool written all over it.

Can a retired officer be charged with mutiny? I wouldn't think so.

We also create about 30% of the world's economy. The above numbers aren't as shocking when you realize that.

If Chuck Norris had witnessed this, he would have made up with Jack Bauer. After Jack Bauer tortured him for hours, Chuck would have roundhouse kicked his head into a low earth orbit. Lucky for that guy they were both sleeping with his wife at the time.
