The Baldwin Brewhaha UPDATED at Bottom

Greetings Me Droogs N Droogettes!

Time foir Ye Olde Master-at-Arms and OF Arms break it down like Barney a bit on the whole Alec "Too Bad For Him" Baldwin shewtin.  Lotsa folks burning up ye olde bleggs ALLLLL over da place, and Aesop and Divemedic having a toe-to-toe tet-a-tete over the whole "responsibility" thingy. 

Now, Me?  Don't know, don't care.  I know for damned sure that if I'da been 'dood behind the trigger' I'd still be in County waiting to find out if it was negligent homicide or man-2.  Bail?  What is this bail of which you speak?

Sapper did the best summation of the entirety of the shytteshow so far though over on Fecesbook:

Trimmed for OPSEC

Fucking classic.  Now... for the sake of brevity, I'm not going to go into too many details, well ackchully I am.  Fuck it.  MY area of specialization is Da Gunz.  I don't know shit from legal-beagle shit, but I'm hearing a whoooole lot that's s-l-o-w-l-y trickling out about the whole Shitfestivus that went on.

The FACTS of the case that HAVE come out is that some Ukrainian Director of Photography named Halyna Hutchins caught a round fired by Alec "Douchebag" Baldwin.  Also hit was the director Joel Souza.  The "Armorer" was some chick (24 years old) named Hannah Gutierrez-Reed.  Seems she literally was the worst pick for that job, and it looks like a case of PURE Hollyweird Nepotism.  Her dad is some uber-famous "Gun Guy" in the industry, and seems he was trying to bring Daddy's lil girl into the biddness...  

Unfortunately, she's a fucking retard.  Retards and guns DO NOT mix well.

So, we still don't know what really happened.  LOTS of conjecture.  There's two lines of thought though as far as 'what kind' of handgun was it.  One poast out there has it as a Colt Dragoon 1862 Black powder pistola.  

Now, small problemo with this being identified as 'the gun'.

Namely that right there is a presentation Colt Dragoon that is in a museum, as it was given to one of the Czars waaaay back in the old days...  Now, if it was THIS MODEL of weapon, well ok... cool.  The other choice that I've been hearing about is a Colt Peacemaker.

Now TMZ is reporting that the crew on the reg would go shooting live rounds and doing target shooting during 'down time' at this place.  Which IMO is fucking stupid.  BAD Idea to have a mix of biddness and pleasure so to speak.  If you're using weapons in a film you DO NOT want any 'live ammunition' within any proximity to that location.  The odds and chances of something going epically wrong increases to the point... well, we can see right here now aimiright?

My issue is that IF it was a black powder pistola, maaaaan... it's really hard to 'accidentally' load live rounds in that fucker...  Like too many steps.  WAY too many to have this happen as an 'oopsie!'.  As I put it on Aesop's place in the comments, (which I'm going to cut n paste as it was a rather lengthy writeup):
OK... Cap and Ball weapons... LOTS of work to make them loaded with 'live rounds'.. Had me a repro Colt 1864 Dragoon .44 back when I was a kid, when age didn't matter vis-a-vis (leastways New Hampshire) for Blackpowder and Handguns (nominally a handgun you hadda be 21... jes' sayin' Blackpowder was a 'gray area') Anywho...

To Load a LIVE ROUND in the WIQ (Weapon in Question) means it was intentional. One does NOT load a .44 caliber beebee into a Black powder weapon by accident EVVAR

So, unless it was a re-worked 1865+ weapon that fired 'cartridged' ammo, yeah... I'ma leaning towards "intentional"...

Fact is, to load a live round into a black powder pistola takes effort. In sequence:
Unloaded weapon:
1) Pour premeasured powder charge into cylinder. HAS to be pre- measured lest you turn it into "Hand-gre-nuke" by accident.
Literally: "Pour a measured charge into the chamber. Carefully pour a properly measured charge of black powder into the chamber closest to the loading cutout. Repeat for each chamber.
Use an individual powder measure. Do not pour powder from a large powder flask or can.
The exact amount of powder will vary depending on the type of gun.
For a .36, use 12 grains of powder. Never exceed 20 grains.
For a .44, use 20 to 28 grains of powder. Never exceed 35 to 40 grains."

2) Rotate NOW FILLED cylinder to the 'beebee loading point'. Meaning that area where, by the photo shown of the WIQ, is at the absolute six-o'clock of the 'firing chamber' i.e. twelve o'clock zone. That lever UNDER the barrel? That's the Loading area where
Place the ball over a chamber opening. Set a proper size ball or bullet over the opening of the chamber nearest the loading cutout.  The ball should be oversized so that it only rests on top and does not enter.
Make sure that the ball or bullet has been lightly greased before you load it."

3) Now, that lever underneath the barrel? Loading lever. Is used to 'pack' the bullet and round INTO the cylinder... hence why I said, "dis ain't no accy-dent"... Per the online guide of "how to load a black powder pistola": Seat the bowl using the loading lever. Unlatch the loading lever and use it to firmly press the ball down until it sits securely and firmly on the powder.
Apply smooth, even pressure as you do this.
There should be no air in between the powder and ball, but you should not crush the powder as you seat the ball.
Also note that a thin outline of lead will be shaved off the ball as you do this. It should be visible at the opening of the chamber. This is a good sign and and indication that the ball is properly fitted.

4) Now, having done this, it's usually "wash rinse repeat" for the rest of the chambers except 'greasing' the cylinder, meaning covering ALL the loaded chambers to prevent a mass firing of ALL chamber simultaneously. "Apply additional grease. Fill the space above the ball in each cylinder with vegetable grease or bullet lubricant.
The use of grease can prevent "chain firing," or accidental secondary discharges." Reason for this is that BP weapons, esp. pistolas are finicky at best...

5) Now, AFTER doing ALL that bullshit above, you put a percussion cap on each nipple to 'prime' it to fire.
"Place a percussion cap on each loaded chamber. Point the gun down range and place a percussion cap on each loaded chamber. With the completion of this step, the revolver is fully loaded.
Make sure that the hammer is still in a half cocked position before doing this."

Soooooooooooooooo IF they, in fact had a percussion capped weapon (usually .44 caliber) then it's next to impossible to fuck that up, load wise of a LIVE round versus a BLANK 'cos the blank would have stopped at the "powder stage" It takes legitimate effort to load live rounds, AND after it's had the cylinder 'greased' to seal the chambers?  Damned near impossible to tell if it's real or memorex Aye?

As to a 'regular' Colt Peacemaker, whelp... that's simple really... either way it doesn't really matter.  The chick was DRT, and someone IS eventually going to go to jail.  Probably going to be the ditz-o-matic Daddy's Lil Girl... dat fucking broad?  She actually was interviewed a ways back, and stated like that she felt 'uncomfortable' around guns and shit... like OK sugartits, then what in the fuck were you doing there if you think guns are 'iky!?!  Like damn... I'd kill to have a gig as a 'gun guy' making that filthy lucre, and it's becoming apparent that Daddy was pushing her round peg into a square hole so to speak...  24 years old?  Who in the hell would put a box-of-rocks-dumbfuck like that in charge of Da Gunz?  Unreal Aye...

Like I said at the start, Me?  Sapper? You?  Any of us 'lesser mere deplorables?  We'd be rockin' the Orange until they sized up a jury and then flushed our asses down the tubes.  Baldwin should be in cuffs but, as we well know The rule of law is fucking dead in this here Dick-Tater-Shit.  The Attorney General is FAAAR too busy going after righteously pissed off parents for being terrorists than I dunno?  Maybe actually going after legitimate fucking murderous celebutards?  Who -literally- kil't one, and wounded another ON CAMERA?

Go figure.

--------------------------UPDATED------------------------

MOR Intel leaking out from the edges of this fuckfestivus (yes, promoted downwardly from a shitfestivus)  Seems that Ole Fuckstick Balwin WAS fucking around and done found out... Unfortunately not on hisself though.  

Pity that Aye?

Word I'm getting now is it was ackchully NOT a BP Bangstick but a Colt Peacemaker and said-fuckstick WAS fucking around... 

Seems the Director had called for another take, and according to on-set sources, Baldwin said (jokingly) "Another take?  Why don't I fuckin' just shoot the both of ya?" and then aimed the weapon AT them and squeezed off the round, hence why the Director of Cinematography took the round which kil't her, and it being a .45LC More N Likely That's a BIG BeeBee with some penetration, hence why Director Boy caught the round AFTER it done plugged said chick.

Also it's been mentioned that the Armorer was seen unloading the piece AFTER the shooting (tamper evidence much?) Much fuckery afoot here...  Be interesting to see HOW Much Monays it's going to take to make this 'go away' 'cos that's how the Hollyweird Game is.  What ALSO pisses me off and makes me soooo angry is that Old Alec is turning this into 'his' tragedy... "Boo Hoo! Poor widdle Me!"

Dood, you done kil't a mother of a 9 year old boy... and made a widow out of her Hubby, and you have the "Hollyweird" audacity to make it about yourself?  Congrats... I hope they (the Husband and Son) utterly destroy you fiscally to the point your pseudo-Spanish slore of a Wife needs to give $5 Blowjobs under a bridge downtown next to your cardboard box that you now call "home" for sustenance. 

NOTHING would please me more.

Douche.

Color Me HIGHLY Impressed

Greetings Me Droogs N Droogettes!
Ahhhh a day of relaxation.  To a point.  Sleep was elusive as Wifey is still on mission, as she will be tonight as well.  Sapper decided I needed some 'get the fuck out of the house' and took me to see the new flick "Dune".

OK... so we're Sci Fi Nerds n Geeks.  Frank Herbert's masterpiece "Dune" is one of my favorite books.  I loved reading it and re-reading it on field problems as it was long, in depth and highly entertaining.  The David Lynch film, despite it's faults was in my view, no bad... a bit 'touched by the 80's' so to speak in it's presentation, and a lot of it was 'left behind' but for the time and technology of the era, a good movie.

Now this?

Wow.

Stunning visuals.

The sound in IMAX?  To be honest, a bit over the top.  I came out feeling like I'd been subjected to a danger-close artillery barrage with the base... literally my ears are -still- ringing.  The soundtrack was unreal, (might have to download it) and the whole thing was very well done.  Couple of things missing of course, not enough backstory, so if you've never read the book, you'd be "WTF was THAT all about?" or even worse "Who the hell was that and why did he betray the Duke?"  Couple of BIG plot holes to the uninitiated.

Now, the controversy on Liet Kynes, the Imperial Geologist/Planetologist and "Keeper of the Change" about them flipping gender and race.  Kynes is, in the book a white older dude who was played by Max Von Sydow in the Lynch version.  This one was played by a black chick...Sharon Duncan-Brewster... I had to google it...

Let me tell you

She was great.  She played it straight.  Like as in I was totally believing that she IS Liet Kynes.  Deserves a best supporting IMO.  They didn't do any 'super-stronk female lesbian wahmans' bullshit... she was a really good character, and played it out -perfectly-.  I mean nothing in the book specifically states that it's a whypeepo dood, and man, in this case, Ms. Duncan Brewster deserves the praise she's gonna get.  I'm all about the purity of the story line... and she kept it pitch-perfect.

Only one scene left me with a "Holy Shit!" nightmare-fuel, and that was the scene on Salusa Secundis when the Baron's rep is recruiting the Sarduakar for the fight... it looks like your basic "Pre-Combat" harangue, and the troops on one knee getting some weird assed blessing of Blood, and there's this really creepy TechnoTalking Motherfucker on what looks like a pulpit... the camera pans back, and they show what appears to be a a HUGE pile of dudes, crucified upside down, getting their throats slit, and the blood collecting in rivers for this pre-combat 'blessing'... veeeeerrrry creepy scene.  Both Sapper and me looked at each other and were like "Dude THAT right there is seriously fucked up!"

So yeah, I only think IF you see it, go and drop the extra $$$ for the IMAX experience.  The small screen won't do it justice.  So I'll get with y'all more later.  I got to figure out dinner...

Random Thoughts

Greetings Me Droogs N Droogettes!

I may be relocatinng here shortly.  It'd mean a disruption in Ye Olde Bloggage but I'm at that point so to speak.  Not to heavy on the details but I'm seriously debating on taking that "FU and Walk" monays from one of these House-Purchase places and going 'walkaboot'.

Like literally.  It's been one of those days.

Pack a very small duff, call Spawn to inherit all the weapons, food, ammo and gear and pop smoke.  I mean I did not want to have to deal with this heaping pyle of shytte that seems to continually get deposited on me on the daily daily.  Not normally one to 'cut and run' but man, these days of looking at finding a stretch of nice, quiet beach, free of teh wahmenz, poly-ticks, and most of all the current J.O.B.?  Getting to where I'm literally that weird old dropped-the-hell out Soldat who has no fucks to give any longer and plays beachcomer?  Maaaaaan.. it's sounding far more attractive day-to-day, moment to moment...

That picture... it was IRL a poster I got that I had made up in Iraq to GIANT sized so it covered the entire wall of my bedroom area, so when I woke up first thing in the A.M., I had that view every day, allowing me to have the fantasy that I was there as opposed to fucking Iraq.  Used to play beach noises while sleeping, and burned scented wax to complete the 'head escape' that I needed to survive.

Amazing how adaptable we are Aye?

Never did find out where that actual tree and beach is located. 

Probably some insanely expensive rich pricks getaway like Tahiti or Pago-Pago.  I had a coworker back in the day, post High School put Pre-Army who I did bouncing with on Landsdowne Street next to Fenway... waaaaaay back int he days of Axis, Bill's... all the super-trendoid bars and clubs.  Looking up some of the info, seems ALL of the 'old haunts' went under the wrecking ball in 2007 too build a "House of Blue" supermegaevilcorporateglobohomo "Club".  < Le Sigh > Guess you really can't go home Aye?

Just like the Rathskeller... I was there for a last party before I went to Germany...  It was way sad and cool at the same time because that's where Aerosmith and a varied and wild amount of 'Boston' groups had gotten their start.  It got closed in 97 and torn down in 2000.

So, a bit nostalgic for the old days.

And wondering what's coming down the pike now?

So, might hit Ye Olde Vlog tonight...  See where the mood/mental takes me.  Right now I don't have a lot of 'steam' left in me from the bullshit I've had to put up with today and for the entire weekend.  Wifey has a bunch of pre-Halloween Gigs in Orlando, and I got stuck here at the Casa to ostensibly keep and eye on her fucking Dumbunny.  Soo, I'm locked in here with a Moron and Sapper's eyeballing the spade... gonna be a looooooooooooooong weekend methinks.

More Enrichment and No C&C

Greetings Me Droogs N Droogettes!

Tell you what... it's only going to get more enriching all thanks to Orifice of The (p)Resident, PBUH (and +10%) The Dementor-in-Chief, Emperor Poopypants the First, Chief Executive of the Kidsmeller Pursuivant, Good Ole Slo Xi-Den's new 'Open Borders' policy of insuring that only the best and brightest of the Afghanis got on them thar evacuation planes.  Yep.

Then again, mebbe not.

Meet Zabihullah Mohmand

Another 'culturally enriching' Rape-Monster.  The vic?  18 year old girl.  In Montana.  

I'ma kinda sorta amazed that he's in such good shape... that smirk and smarm of "I don't give a fuck" would surely be completely wiped from his face had I been one of the Arresting Occifers.  In fact I'd insure that he'd need a permanent all-liquid diet for the next oh-so-few-years he's got left up until one of the Aryan Brotherhood decides he needs a Haji-Skin Cigarette case or something...I mean man, it's fucking Montana man... what the fuck happened?  That used to be a gen-you-wine-lee bad ass state full of bad ass Cowboys and shit... now?  

Yeah, the booking foto shows how much 'kinder and gentler' the Fuzz and Montana as a whole are when dealing with assholes like this here goatfucker.  Me?  Man, he should have 'fallen down the stairs' a multiplicity of times, never mind hitting his head on the door jab, falling on a nightstick or 10, and broken a few limbs and fingers while trying to get back up off the concrete.  The whole sordid bullshit story is here: https://thenewamerican.com/montana-cops-arrest-unvetted-afghan-for-rape-montana-rep-rosendale-remove-afghan-evacuees/

The article goes into how Montana Rep. Matt Rosendale is calling for the expulsion of all the Rapey McRapefaced Goatfuckers and Childbride Pedofucks that the current Regime cut loose in like anywhere they could to undermine any and all "Red" states...reducing the issue to pure politics per usual.  That's all they know

HOWEVER

Couple more stories like this and you're going to see a network of loosely connected people start figuring out what time and where these 'people' (and it's a stretch to call them that AYe?) are being 'deposited' like the dead-of-night doggie donut dropoffs they are... I mean let's be honest.  It IS just like that absolute asshole of a neighbor that you have ON CAMERA taking his dog for an oh-dark-late walk, and going right up to your house, and letting Rover drop his 'package' off on your yard, and casually roaming off without policing up said-"gift".  Once the intel is gathered, well, it wouldn't be hard to arrange (pure hypothetically that is) a 'welcome' of suppressed rifle fire that targets the military aged males.  Groin and head shots.

"No women, no kids."

Couple of times of a no Bag Limit Open Season on Afghani Rapey McRapefestivus Goatfuckers, and I gar-ron-damned-tee they'll be positively begging to be sent back to Asscanishitstan.  The more the body count, the more they'll utterly refuse to get on the bus to relocate...

See, I lived there.  Had to be around these smelly fucksticks... and yes they do stank like death... like a rotten carcass 4 weeks dead doesn't smell as bad as an Afghan...  anyways... The only thing they understand is brute fucking force and the imposition of brute fucking force on whatever the target of the day is.  If their Imam tells them "Allah has proclaimed death to all Guinea Pigs and Gerbils!  They are all satanic and must die!"  I ab-so-loot-lee can tell you these turbaned hardheaded fucking weirdbeards would be breaking into elementary schools to kill Mr.  Lemmiwinks and the local PetSmart would see the same 'unexplained uptick in pro-guinea pig and gerbil violence'.  Complete unquestioning belief in their religion, and by way of their Holy Rollers (the Imams) they will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.

Hell... the lesser religious nutbags (compared to the Affys) in Iraq even knew our mollycoddling ways and worked them against us.  They knew for certain that IF they got caught, but not actually IN the process of pulling a trigger OR with the bomb IN HAND that the MOST we'd do was a minor vacation, in a air conditioned prison cell, (where MOST of his friends were anyways mind you) that they'd get three hots and a cot, maybe a bit of 'harsh language questioning' and then eventually, cut loose with a $10 bill for transportation and a "Don't let us see you around here no more!" lecture.  I know. I actively assisted in the re-capture of one of these doodz who done did this, and probably kept doing it until they either won, or he fucked around, wrong place, wrong time and got greased.

Until we start utilizing barbarity against them?  It's a zero-sum game.  To a Rape-monster like dis fukkin guy?  Prison?  After living and eking out a sub-par non-TV life in the mountains of the Hindu Kush, with only the occasional raid on another ville for loot, and a goat for sustenance and/or sexual gratification?  Yeah, US Prisons, outside of the whole potential of running into a REAL whypeepo superpreemiecysts group who, if they find out aboot him, WILL eat his liver for lunch, prison is a fucking lotto winner dream for him. 

Hence why I personally think, in this increasingly lawless environment, "The Men Who Wanted to Be Left the Fuck ALONE" are going to start to step off the porch.  And when and IF it does happen, it's going to be beyond the worst case scenarios of the pants-wetting crybaby fuckstick lawbreakers in the District of Criminality and/or the Ministry of Propaganda all over the country...  They have no clue.

It's going to be "The Harvest of 100/1000/10000/100000 Heads" or however many those who are angry enough to decide... I mean after all, who puts a call to stop a decentralized, non-unitary, cell like, lone wolf operation?  I mean despite ALL the fever dreams of the retards on the Ministry of Propaganda, and the breathless, witless ramblings of self-important, impotent cowards, the near-do-wells and flat out brain dead "politicians" of the UniParty who have hyped up OrangeManBad as "HitlerJunior"... fact is, most of us purely despise him AND especially his (((fambly))).  His obeisance and bowing to the (((Tribe))) and his blatant abandonment of everyone involved in the January 6th Shenanigans, nevermind ALL the 'other' broken promises, well, we say "Fuck that guy."

Reality is, IF the 'spark' gets lit, there ain't no one to put out the subsequent fire.

Especially if it's successful. 

I mean from a purely outside POV, how much blood is enough IF you're winning?

The answer?  

It'll not stop til every. single. one. of. them. on. the. Left. is. dead.

There's no leadership.

There's no voice out there to cry "Hold!" and re-leash the Dogs of War so to speak...

It'll keep going

and going

and going

and going

Until one side wins

And let me tell you, r/ourguys/ tend to be better armed, more angry and better trained.

You do your own maffs.

These idiots in charge?  They obviously are absolutely oblivious to these things, hence the empty retarded threats of Nukes and F-15s... they have NO IDEA what kind of beast they're poking.  It literally is millions of heavily armed guys and gals who look, see 'that one thing' that finally pushes them over the edge, and they start killing

and killing

and killing

without a centralized Command and Control.  They'll keep at it until they theyselves get kil't OR they finally grow weary of trudging knee-deep through the blood of retards.

So, think on it...

I know I am

Rape on The Train

Greetings Me Droogs N Droogettes!

Got a few minootos to throw up some stuff here as my work PC got the dreaded "Pushes a n d Updates have been installed: Restarting" which means I probably have time for a Poast or two, and a Coke, Smoke and a Joke or 5.  Nuthin' like waiting on the updates Aye?  Got no choice what with Winders being the OS of biddness choice.

So, lots of outrage at the rape on the Subway Train in Philly last week.  Can't say I'm even remotely surprised.  The story is here: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/philadelphia-subway-riders-witnessed-rape-did-nothing-officials-say-2021-10-19/

And it's also going away pretty quickly.  It WAS at the top  of the fold on the Daily Fail today but now?

Annnnnnnnnnd it's gone. 

Mainly because the perp was a 32 Year old Congolese Illegal with a propensity for Rape, Rape, Felonious Assault and oh gee, MOR Rape and was -supposed- to be deported in 2015 by the Obamamessiah.

Makes me wonder if they -didn't- deport all these fuckwits we're finding now with the intention of leaving them behind as 'time bombs' for someone to deal with later.  Now... everyone has been freaking about how everyone Vidya'd this, instead of "White Knighting" and saving the "Damsel in Distress" 

Let me tell you Mister and Missuz ("That's MIZ to you cis-het-hater!!!") Fake and Ghey, Y'all made this particular bed, so enjoy the more 'rapey aspects' that're going to become MOR popular as them Afghanis start showing up in your towns.  THOSE guys are super-dooper especially Magic-Dirtalicious Rapey McRapefests... small boys, girls, goats, Teh Wahmenz?  They rape 'em all. 

And the Congo-Critters?  Right up there in a close second for Rape... 'cept they tend to eat the victim afterwards...  Yeah, the Congo... THAT place... holy hells what a weird place that's spawned OH so many Memes... a veritable paradise for Shitlord Memeing.

Nothing like being 'culturally enriched' by Congolese Cannibal-Rape-Monsters amiright?

But yeah, this is what they wanted...
Defund the Police? 
Indict -anyone- and -everyone- who even attempts to dial 9-11 on a Black in the Untied Statz these days? 
Accuse all Whypeepo as Eeeee-vil Rayyycysts for even questioning the behavior of these fucking Dindu Nuffinz and the actions that thereof?

At this point?  Fuck 'Em and I do mean Fuck 'Em ALL.  Unless the individual is personally known to me that motherfucker is purely shit-out-of-fucking-luck now and forevermore, Amen.

I ain't helping or doing shit.  Unless there's a operational and immediate need that endangers me or mine?  The pistola is staying right there in Ye Olde Holster.  The Rifle in it's case.  I won't do shit, 'cos even if I do help and theoretically AM on the 'right side' both morally, ethically and legally, if it's a Dindu?  Nah brah... rather sleep soundly knowing I protected mine by NOT allowing meselves or mine to be exposed in any way that could cut into my bottom line.  What good it it to 'do the right thing' when in the end you're gonna take a public cornholing and more n'likely a monetary hit/assraping by some fucktard lawyer who's out to score social justice points as well as line the pockets of he and his by financially destroying a Whypeepo for fun n'profit?

Sheeeeeeeeeee-it... Kyle did the 'right thing' and look what it got him.

So, beyond putting Ye Olde Middle Finger in the Air, I did have a 'cute' moment with one of the Kittahs today.  Past couple of days, Nook has been sleeping on the kitchen table.  In the lasagna dish no less. 

 Garfield Much?

The sun hits the dish for the most of the early morning, getting it nice and warm.

She curls right up in it for 80% of the mid morning to early afternoon.  I've told everyone not to fuck with the dish... we generally eat at our various 'workstations' so the table ain't a big deal, and the dish I can wash before we need to use it again.  Right now she just loves it so much and looks soooo cute, soo let her enjoy her dish and 'place'...Purring away and sleeping the day away....

Besides, if God forbid, Post Apocalypto, we got to eat her, I now know which dish she'll fit in Aye?

Got ya with that one didn't I?

Sorry but not sorry... yeah, Just being the sick bastard with bad humor that I am...

Loads of Fun and Logistics

Greetings Me Droogs N Droogettes!
Telling you, this workforce?

Completely and utterly fucked.

I started this class of trainees with 18 people.  2 didn't even show.  In 12 days, I've lost 6 more.  I'm averaging a 1 every two day killshot.  Today was actually a twofer.  Queue the music:

Rather appropriate considering.

It's un-fucking-believable.  The sense of "just show up and I'm good" is startling.  And -thusfar- I -haven't had anyone try and throw the race card at me.  Yet.  Not really sure how they can though, as the attendance policy is straightforward enough, and I'm just following it to the letter.  Hells Bells I'm not really even in charge... the Training Management is responsible.  I'm just riding shotgun here.

Better to clear out the deadwood now though, 'cos when the rubber meets Ye Olde Road?  I ain't gonna have time for hand-holding and a bullshitfestivus of fuckery.

Speaking of Fuckery:

One of the Droogs reached out to ask me aboot the adverts here.  Seems that he got rooked by a company called "Blaroken" a 'supposed' tacticacool store.  Now I got no real control over the ads.  I did choose that it show 'similar stuff' for the crawler, i.e. military type tactical gear, BUT I have no, ZERO control over the goolag.  

Droog got his $$$ back with a chargeback for a ripoff, but do your due diligence on any and ALL webcrawler ads... this one when you do a search comes up right off the bat with "SCAMMERS!" in like 3 foot high burning letters.  Chineseum bullshit it would appear... 

Now, as to 'other stuff' I've been soooo out of the loop lately.

It would appear that shit is -still- the same, just shittier.  The Orifice of The (p)Resident, The Dementor-in-Chief, Emperor Poopypants the First, Chief Executive of the Kidsmeller Pursuivant, Good Ole Slo Xi-Den is still too stupid to safely play outside without supervision.  Or is it stupor-vision?  Fucking Aye... this whole shitshow has a the feel of I don't know what.  The 'smartest guy from South Bend' the Queerer than a Three Dollar-Make-You Holler Bath-House Pete Buttplug Secretary of Transportation is still on 'paternity leave.'  

Yep.  Welcome to the New Bizarro World.

Fucking covered THAT shytteshow on my vlog.  Paternity Leave is supposed to be for a dood to help out his wife after giving birth... Passing a small human out yer body is sorta-kinda traumatic and exhausting.  Many times the have to lay open the mom like a trout and C-Section that kid out, or like they did with my X, cut her on the ladybits to 'widen the hole'... < shudder >  No thanks.  But since all that abuse gets inflicted, NewMoms need some help around the house in getting the strength back and whatnot.  I know I had to help the hell out with BOTH kids both times.

Buttplug, well seeings that he can -probably- sit naked on a standard issue barstool, and have it shoot/slide right up the ole pooper sans lube, I'd say there isn't any issue in that house.  Nope... and then, they essentially bought a whypeepo bebe.  Actually, make that two whypeepo bebes.  Twins.  Guess they didn't want the other getting jealous when they fire up the pedo later in life...  It shows how genuinely 'ungenuine' these prog-globo-homo fuckwits are.  How many minority kids with real developmental issues are abandoned/not wanted/whatever/orphaned out there? 

Buttplug was ALL about sympathy for the BLM or whatever 'flavor of the month' out there is,  but the spermburper apparently only purchased hisself two lil whypeepo bebes.  Him and Mrs. Cumguzzler Buttplug didn't go through any stress, outside of maybe worrying that -somebody- might call out the fact that they shouldn't get paternity leave, but in Clownword, no one's gonna say a thing as they're a 'special protected class' of A) Rich as Fuck, B) Powerful and C) Gay as fuck.  No one in the current Ministry of Propaganda is going to call those two out for baby trafficking, never mind that this taxpayer funded "Paternity Leave" is both a scam AND a fraud.

Nero supposedly fiddled while Rome Burned...
Buttplug is probably lactating as we speak.

And it's under this fucking guy our Fragile and Not-Yet-Recovered Logistics System is getting worse.  And he's too busy getting Vogue and Vanity Spreads of him holding a baby, and gazing loooongingly into his "missuz" bearded face...  Let me tell you.

In Iraq in 2006 we had a minor 'bump' in the Logistics shipping.  'Bump' as being defined by the fact that the Haj went batshit, and the IEDs were soooooo bad, that the roads went from "Green" (safe to roll on) to "Red" (Robot-Levels of "Danger Will Robinson!!!!").  There were sections of Route Irish that were so thick with IEDs that the roads were essentially closed the fuck down.  For like two weeks.

And we started running out of food... and everything else.

Went from 3 Hot Meals in the Chow hall to One a day.  MREs were available but they were a bit worried about available stocks as that hadn't been "The Plan" to need a metric shitpile of those on hand.  We also got told to re-use the disposable plastic tableware.  "Hold onto your fork!"  Bottled Water started getting rationed, and mail was non-existent.  I'm sure AT LEAST one or two of my 'care packages' from the US got nuked on a convoy... leastways I think... 

Either way, even with the entire US Army and ALL of KBR-Halliburton working to alleviate this, we still needed help.   At one point they had the Ukrainians load up ONE aircraft chockablock FULL of critical supplies and fly it into Sather Air Base in Baghdad.  Then they did it again.

One plane you say Big Country?  That ain't much...

Wanna Bet?

Two flights worth of cargo, but it was the AN-225 Mirya.  I actually SAW that gorgeous thing taking off... went -right over- the Crib on Victory.  Looked like the Empire State Building grew wings and decided to go for some sight-seeing.  It's that fucking big.

Yah, we 'slammed the wall' getting shit unfucked.  But that's a microcosm compared the shit we got going on here n'now.  Like that was a teeny tiny issue with what we ACKCHULLY got going on right here, right now.  And the assclown (literally!) that they have nominally 'in charge' is as fake and gay for his qualifications to be "Transportation Smegmatary as he is in his personal life.  Meaning he's utterly fake and gay.  I mean fer Crissakes, I believe when asked about his qualifications, didn't he say something about he once rode an AMTRAK once?  More like used the men's room 'Glory Hole' in the South Bend Train Station...

Jes' Sayin'

For real, between the 'lack of willingness' of people (which is what -I'm- seeing IRT) to do any work these days... the 'lotus eaters' that have been spoken of, and then the near fascist-intervention of the DotGov on any and all levels to impose unneeded and unhelpful regulatory supra-state 'environmentally friendly' rules, shit's on the slide... quickly.

Take all the new rules that Califrutopia is putting in... sure... enviro-friendly laws and rules that make the Hollyweird and Box Wine Aunts and Karens have the good feelz, but the reality is, even they're gonna 'suddenly' find theyselves out of food.

Oh Quick Note!

Evvabody go check your preps!

Don't forget to top off and rotate.

I found a bad can last night.  Needs replacement as soon as I can.

Hell, -I- have to wait til payday.  One of my cans of Provident Pantry went bad...  Can was ALLLLL swole like a motherfucker.  Tomato Powder.  Bought in 2012.  Very common unfortunately for acidic stuff like that.  Now they claim it's good for 30 years.  Reality?  Not so much.  And the can was stored inside for the entirety of it's life, out of the sun (I use a big wardrobe as a storage locker) in a stable comfy temperature for that whole time (outside of a few power outages.). 

As dumb as it sounds, a BIG menu item for the "Big Country Post-Apocalyto Cafe and Diner" is pizza.  I got a metric ton of flour, yeast, freeze dried sausage, ground beef, peppers, onions, mozzarella and I got a solar oven that bakes up a pie in about an hour on the lanai.  Even got aged and stored pepperoni.  I mean hell, why not?  One large pie feeds 4-5 people, and if it's reduced rations, one slice a person, a 6 slice pie is a pretty good meal Aye?

But right now?  The majority of these morons out there are ALL about the 'daily shopping' even IF they go shopping.  I usually avoid Publix after work because its ALL people buying what they're going to cook THAT NIGHT that they're picking up on the way home... you can tell with a glance at the cart if that's a 'week worth' of grub, or if it's the "I need to feed Jimmy and Hubby as soon as I get home!"  That's usually the chick with either Manwich and ground beef, with a pack of buns or the Hotdogs, bag of OreIda oven bake fries and rolls.  Otherwise they're ordering from UberEats or GrubHub....

I only go if I realize I forgot something... a quick hit n run.  

JIT Logistics is almost dead

And when it does die

That's when shit'll get interesting quick.

Internet Issues?

Greetings Me Droogs N Droogettes!

Having trouble maintaining Ye Olde Connectivity.  In fact ALL my people in my Training Class are experiencing connections issues.  I've got a Spectrum Biddness Line, and my Trainer (awesome lady!) has Verizon and SHE's having issues too.  In and out... minor bounces.

Anyone heard if there was any electro-magnetic stuff happening?  I know last week we had a minor CME that suspicious observers reported on, but otherwise it's theoretically quiet?

Weirdness I guess.

So, dealing Gaaaaaaaaaah!

My GAWD!  My fon won't stop detonating!!!

OK waaaay too busy today to blegg.  Will try tonight.

It's what I love aboot you sick fucks.

Even a Good Church Going Lady like Large Marge give me something I can work with

And man, so is she, DumBunny, (keeping said aforementioned Gator-Walk) in mind....  Think she went through 2-3 pairs of panty-shields when I got home, maybe even drawers 'cos when -I- go on a rampage?  Yeah, it's bad, but today?  I went all fartlike... silent, but deadly.  It's when I get quiet... Sapper went in, blocked and locked his door, and told me he'd be on 'standby' with the shovel and quiklime.

God I purely love good subordinates.

After Action Report

Greetings Me Droogs N Droogettes!
Maaan... note to self:  I am entirely too white to be out in the Florida Sun without sunscreen.  Got a bit roasty-toasty today at the Range.  Had a meetup with The infamous Borepatch (https://borepatch.blogspot.com/) who on the reg organizes the mid-to-south Florida Blogshoot.  

Every six months or so, we were doing it, Last time was sort of a sad time as Miguel from gunfreezone.net moved to waaay up yonder to Tennessee.  So, this 'un here wasn't a per-se Blogshoot, as much as just two bros and their old ladies getting together to bust caps.  Borepatch's significant other, A.K.A The Queen of the World was there, and most unfortunately, Wifey couldn't make it.

Because DumBunny we've found can't be trusted to stay home at Mi Casa and do the right thing.

So, Wifey got stuck on babysitting duty which has pissed me off to no end.  Fucking unreal... DumBunny is one of the most self-entitled fucking To The Letter Definition of a Fucking Millennial.  Like the polar opposite of Spawn.  Man... I'm not going to rant, but needless to say ALL the good, de-stressing that I did breaking in the firepower is oot the fucking window the second I walk in the door.

Time to sell -everything- and move to Costa I'm thinking.

Whhhhhhhhhhhooooooooooooo-saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa....

OK:  So, unfortunately not a lot of pictures as we were a bit to busy pulling triggers.  I did get one of 'Patch throwing from his OMFG Beauty of an AR:

Team America FUCK YEAH!

I personally think he should get that put on the side... but 

He was working on getting on paper with a new scope while I was in 'new test of the M1A' which you can see on the table behind him, on the bipod.  I also worked in the AR-10 with the Russian Dragunov scope I told y'all about waaays back.

OK:  The M1A:  Thank you Springfield for restoring my faith in you.  FLAWLESS except for three 'soft strike' on some Tula Russian Ammo.  Now for that matter, they weren't soft strike but them damned hard-assed rooskie primers... total of 5 rounds out of 40 had to be re-run through for a second attempt as they just were HARD Aye?  NO issues on the M1A and the National Match sights/barrel combo are a tack driving dream, leastways when I wasn't shaking with 'deer fever'.  Rounds were for the most part in a 4-5 inch group which for me and my shakes ain't bad.  That was at the 100 Yard shooting distance.  Respectable but I'm way the fuck out of practice.  In fact by a few months ago price standards, I was joking with Patch that we'd pretty much shot a mortgage payment's worth of Boolits today between the 4 of us.

Now:  The AR-10 Dragunov Scope Combination.

Zeroed here at the house with a laser boresite to 'rough gage' the scope aiming point and mount.  Did a quick three rounds at 100 to confirm, dialed in the scope... which by the way was a stone bitch.  The knobs on the scope?  In Cyrillic Rooskie.  Couldn't tell if something was "Up" "Left" or "Right" and "Down"... I had to do 3, adjust, do 3, re-adjust and THEN I was in the right center mass grouping.

3 sets of 3 rounds.

I walked them from top to bottom, with the last round being a 'flyer' up on the top left... jerked the trigger... 'cos I got excited as fuck to see the two damned-near center mass.

Not bad for a blind Shakes-the-Clown Motherfucker.

Now, the Dragunov Scope... whoooo wee!  I need ANOTHER one.  It's incredibly well-matched to the AR-10 platform.  Fucking a dream-scope-rifle combo.  Mind you that target to MY blind ass was barely visible to me at 100 years.  The eye relief is great, and I think Borepatch is going to get one for HIS rifle.  When I explained the 'how it works' he was muy impressed.  For those who don't remember, the reticle is this:

The sloped scale on the left?  It's for estimating target distance.  It works thusly:

The stadia lines on the top are to adjust for movement/lead.  The middle hash marks on the up/down axis are for ranging the round impact.  Like I said hella cool and fucking need another one.  

As Aesop is fond of saying, One is None Aye?

Ivan makes great optics.

Sold out currently but HIGHLY Recommend: https://ivantactical.com/shop/weapon-accessories/sights-and-scopes/npz-po-6x36-01p-1000m-rangefinder-picatinny-rail-qd-scope/

So, went to a dive bar for a beer.  Was nice.

And yep.  That is an honest to God functional Cigarette Machine.  Right out of the olde daze gone by.  Outlaw Biker Bar with Outlawed Cigarette Machine?  Fucking coolio.

Place -did- reek of cigs tho, only drawback that I could tell.  Only because I quit smoking two years ago after like 30 years of it...

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd came home to a shitfestivus of fuckitude 

and 

OMFG Please I do not need this.  

If I 'drop off' the Net, it's 'cos I either stroked the fuck out

OR

I done kil't everyone

Might have to flip a coin on that.  Right now I'm leaning towards telling Sapper to get the plastic tarps, duct tape and shovel.  

I. Am. Too. Old. For. This. Shit.

Annnnnnnnnnnd the BP: 189 over 127.... Might have to relax a bit 

Ya Thiiiiiink?

Nothing to See Here...

Greetings Me Droogs N Droogettes!

Appreciate the feedback from the test.  I'm still working the Audio out and as far as the production 'values'?  Well that's more in place to shield the rest of the room.  I don't want/need that much exposure of the room, as it IS my workshop.  The pallet of ammo, food, tac-gear and computers is downright frightening to a point.  It looks like a Fallout 3 bunker/mission control.  Gaming Computer, Work Computer, 5 monitors, 2 Laptops, as well as a Blogging PC.  

NASA Circa 1965 or such

'Cept mine is waaaay less organized.

Pile of Shytte #1 Tactical Gear, Vests, Helmets (where and HOW did I end up with so many fucking helmets?)  Enough varied 'flavors' of unassembled Tac-Gear so's I can change out the loadout for whatever needs/wants be.  Base Tact Vest(s) to upload said-gear as needed... you get the idea.

Pile of Shytte #2 Reloading bench, Rolling Gunsmith Tool Chest... Good Gawd, really looking at it, I got a LOT of shit, and that doesn't even touch on the shit in the garage...DotMil cases and cases FILLED with shit.  Think I'm going to have to join the HOA Yard sale this year to declutter the 'excess to needs'

So, anyways.  To today's foulness:

Seems in Jolly Olde England, The Happy Home of Headrag Hajiis, One David Amess, Conservative British politician was, and I quote: 

• "Sir David, 69, was murdered on Friday by a crazed knifeman while he held a meeting with his constituents in a church in Essex"

He was at church, and for some unknown reason a 'crazed knifeman' went after dood and gutted him like a fish.  Bled out before they could get him to the hospital, even using a LifeFlight, he was toast.  This was HUGE news for about 12 hours in Jolly Olde...

Now?  Notsomuch Aye?  

But Big Country, Whatever could this have 'dropped off the radar' so Quickly?

Reason in 3...2...1...

Yep

Dropped that fucker faster than the radioactive rock it is.  I had to dig like a mother to find that infonugget.  Ain't mentioned over there at all.  In fact right now the BritNews is harping more on the Liberals who Tweeted 'Mean Things' about Mister Conservative Gutted Fish.  They're trying to play up the whole 'mental illness' thing as they ARE wont to do.

Which really means that it was another case of SJS 'Sudden Jihadi Syndrome'... again.  Aloha Snackbar kicking it Olde Skool again with the knives.  Telling you, protecting Muh Diversity! is a full time gig.  The crime stats HERE are covered up to the point of no return, I can only imagine how buried it is in Joly Olde.  Can you imagine how bad it'd be if they hadn't banned guns over there?  Not that that stops the 'bad guys' from getting them.  Just ask my cousins in the IRA

Jes' Sayin'

So today -was- supposed to be 'clean the haus' day BUT now I'm a bit distracted.  Wifey had a client today who by what she told me, "just ain't right".  And now she's a hour overdue here and NOT answering the fon.  Not a good thing.  I'm sure she's ok, but man, some of her clients... this one I TOLD her I had a bad feeling about.  First time (her first visit) she said that the House was a complete nasty foul-smelling shithole.  Now THIS from a chick?  Who's personal propensity, well, she's not gross but Wifey IS the stereotypical Hairdresser-Cluttered Clusterfuck with her shit...  Makes me nuts occasionally.  When SHE said it was gross as hell, I told her to ditch the broad as a client, as maaan, when a chick finds ANOTHER broad's A.O. completely repellant that's a red flag on the crazy for me.  She still went though as it IS $150 that we need, so hey amiright?

She -should- be fine...  I just hate the whole 'not answering the fon' thing.  Annnnnnd there she is.

Great

Now I got my ass chewed for blowing up her shit while working

>Le Sigh<

Damned if I do, Damned if I don't LOL.

Call and it's "What!?! Why are you blowing up my phone!?!

Don't Call and it's "OMG You don't love me!  I could have been dead in a ditch!!!"

Ah well.  Shytte do happen.

So, Thanks for the feedback gang.  Like I said, I need Spawn to assist really... my tech voodoo/kung fu is weak these days.  Sooooo many changes soooo quickly, leaves my head spinning.  The software is intuitive to a point, it's trying to figure out what format you guys want to see.  Any suggestions?  A full on Rant-a-Thon?  OR I was thinking like the Headlies of the day, with me scrolling through commenting form the Corner?

Huh

That ain't Bad... "Big Country's Corner Commentary and Rantathon"...

Have to see the tech side and if it works, then fucking Aye.

So, Suggestions Welcome!
