Most have gun nerds trying to be salesmen, rather than salesmen who sell a product that happens to be a gun. This quote I found today illustrates the frustration that many folks have:
Good gun stores are few and far between. most counter jockeys are too fat to get off their stool to come help. Even if they do it takes em 10 minutes to make their way over and clean the orange cheetos shit off their hands. I find being talked down to by a minimum wage idiot comical, especially when he’s trying to tell me that only girls like 9mms or that the 20 year old Sig p6 in the case is super rare and worth every penny of the $499 they are asking. – Dusty78
Orange cheetos… bwahahah… I love it!
Because that’s just a load of crap.
LOTS of folks linking to Don Surber’s post on the left figuring out that speech can be used against them as well, and their obvious reaction to ban it.
My free speech matters more than the feelings of anyone on the left.
Damn straight. I’d quote the whole thing, but please go read it. Appeasement, compromise and bipartisanship is like getting beat to a pulp instead of killed.
This shouldn’t happen in this country, or anywhere else, but in a free society we’re going to be subject to people like this. I prefer this to the alternative. – John Green, father of 9 year old Christina Green
Every single one of you folks with one of their dumb ass representatives talking about politician safety zones and restricting free political speech needs to write, call, protest, whatever and let these elitist NTACs know the closer they get to fascism the more trouble they’ll be in.
Well, it’s one of the biggest search hits on the site, and since we rebooted the archives I figure I’d put it back. Originally created by General Zod.
They’re the media, you know. Here’s a perfect example. New Zealand journalchickie apparently gets paid by the word. Well, it’s a good thing that she’s writing for folks halfway around the world, because if she was any closer, someone would have set her straight.
Sitting down for dinner at any Texan diner, in my experience, often involves guns.
I can’t recall the exact number of times I have eaten a meal in the immediate company of a man, or men, with shooters on their hips in plain view. For me, I am always equal parts spellbound and queasy.
Spellbound because there is something so fundamentally cowboy and western about it. Guns, freedom, country music and the Second Amendment. It is Texas after all. Yeeha!
Funny thing, Texas doesn’t allow open carry. So it’s unpossible for what she wrote about to be true. Maybe she was in a different Texas? Maybe there’s a Texas in NZ? You know, I might be a dense Yank, but I think she’s never even been to Texas!
And here’s the winning quote.
All those rights and freedoms. It just feels wrong somehow.
Doncha just love how icky all our rights are? They’re just so darn inconvenient.
It’s the fedgov.
Any Talk of Recovery is False. Here is snippet: "As you can see, the great retail recovery of 2010 is a sham. Comparable store sales increases of 3% are inflation-adjusted decreases of 5%. If you drive around with your eyes open, you would think the hot new retailer in America is called Space Available."
You do realize that when some idiotic talking hole gets up at the podium and says “inflation is holding steady at 1.1%” they leave out food and energy costs, which is what most families spend the most money on every single month. Instead they measure things like the cost of refrigerators, which have stayed the same because they’re made in Asia now.
But let me ask this: when you go look at a piece of roast beef at the grocery store, isn’t it both smaller than it used to be, and almost twice as expensive?
This story from WPBF shows how all the smells of Thanksgiving really arouse men.
In a study of men ages 18 to 64, 40 aromas were tested to determine which arouses men the most. The smell of pumpkin pie topped ladies’ fragrances.
"The number one odor that enhanced penile blood flow was a combination of lavender and pumpkin pie," said Hirsch.
Maybe because this is how they did the survey…
You know, I can’t take Gypsy to a Burger King.
We’ve gone to BK maybe 3 or 4 times in the past 5 or 6 years together.
Once, they ran out of most of their food because of a delayed truck delivery.
The next time, the gas line went out, so no grill or fryers.
The last time we went, to a completely different BK, we were able to order food and get it. And eat it. Then I was wondering when they started using bbq smoke to cook with. Finally, we had a show as we watched the poor cashier from earlier try to put out the fire in the mulch area where someone in drive through thew a cigarette butt into the wood.
I’m just thinking that’s funny and all…
The Daily Beast covers the 40 most “unhealthy coffees.” Of course, in every single one, coffee has nothing to do with why they’re unhealthy. It’s all the iced blended turtle berry mocha mint soy frappe chocolate caramel cookies and cream truffle gingerbread crap they add to what at one point was good coffee.
And it’s not that those things are unhealthy. It’s that they’re totally things that only sorority girls and pooftas would add to coffee. If your drink looks anything like the one in the picture, you probably either drive while on a cell phone, or are a body builder.
I really do. Oh, we’re talking about the computer language Java.
As someone on the front line of the IT world, I have to use it/program it/fix it all the time. Not only is it now a leading way for you to get malware on your PC just by having it installed and enabled, it’s slow, ugly, buggy, and it has for years been the language of “Congratulations, you now get to train your third world replacement programmers, have a nice time looking for a new job now that you’re laid off!”
So now Oracle owns Sun, which created and controlled Java. And now Oracle is being rather heavy handed with it apparently, and it’s really made the Apache and open source folks pretty darn mad.
I now have to wonder what will become of the Java zealots now though. Sure all the corporate types are still going to keep running Java because they can get it done cheaply. But tons of Computer Science students may now move away from using Java to build their next web 3.0 application, and slowly the tide will change to something else.
Myself I prefer C# and the .Net languages. I can build the same applications much faster than they can be done in Java, they’re more stable, and much easier to use.
This feeling is much more prevalent than I think people realize. Only inertia prevents it from being more widespread.
The excellent Bill Whittle on a gun rights primer. It is an 8 minute video, but should just be about 5 seconds: “It is my right.”
On a related note, went shooting Sunday morning with Bill (a different Bill). We had a great time as always.
This is what I did at 100 yards at 8″ targets, with 3 shots from my DD-M4. Kind of sucked, shot 3 rounds, then had to wait for the next red flag to put up more targets and shoot some more. But it was worth it, I love this picture.
Saw the video over at The AnarchAngel.

What would you like to see on Pirate-King now that she is all fresh & clean?
What topics, discussions, etc..?
Thank you, looking forward to your input.
Yeah, wiped out all the posts here. All the way back to May 2003′s first post.
Too many fussy people, too many lawsuits over quoted news articles, tired of deleting spam comments on posts from many years ago.
So starting fresh… Let’s see what happens.
