The whole gunny-blogosphere erupted recently after a non-profit organization stuck their foot in mouth then echoed internationally that they don’t want anything to do with firearms-related companies.

I said that they’d gladly accept donations from anyone if there were sufficient quantity of zeroes.

Then a few days later they said that they didn’t want anything to do with any weapons-related companies.

I said again that there’s money involved, so they’ll gladly accept donations.

Spotted at Days of Our Trailers, their spokesweasel finally went on Gun Talk Radio and clarified their position.

Turns out that, yes, they will gladly take your money (told you so), they just don’t want the rest of the world to know that it came from you.

Don’t know why I have this scene from Blazing Saddles in my head — except in my mind, Sheriff Bart represents all logic in the world, and the old woman represents the WWP.

WWP: “Of course, you’ll have the good taste not to mention that I spoke to you.”

Us: Of course.

Actually the whole interaction between Sheriff Bart and the old woman, including the Waco Kid’s remarks about them being Simple Farmers was hilarious and, I think, pretty appropriate to the whole situation.

Rule Three! Seriously, Babineaux (baby, no)… do not do this.

Here’s a better idea: index your trigger finger on the frame (not even the trigger guard) and keep it there. Then, while reholstering, keep your eyes on the pistol at all times.

And, I’m not gonna judge if all you can afford is one of those cheap Uncle Mike’s holsters, but if you really, really must use one, for the love of god, take the thing out of your waistband first; put the pistol in the holster; then put the whole thing somewhere other than pointed at a major artery or at a part of your anatomy that will prevent you from sharing what would be a rather embarrassing story with grand children you’ll never have.

OldNFO shares a homemade Twinkie recipe. They’ll be gone from stores, but you can still make your own.

Might need to try that one.

No, it isn’t. And we’ve known this for years. Some years ago, there was a doctor who did nothing but eat those “bad for you” Hostess products for ten weeks. He lost weight — and not a trivial amount. It was significant.

It’s just a matter of calories, just like your mother used to say. Or, rather, just like your grandmothers used to say.

Here’s where Hostess is now…

Good job, Socialists.

I’d wear this to work… or the range:

Yup, that’s The Big Lebowski’s bowling shirt. Available here. Must want.
