Bummer

I was walking around the block yesterday with Mrs. Paco, and the sun had dipped below the horizon leaving a rosy band of color across the lower western sky when I saw the most unique cloud I have ever seen; it looked just like a Springfield Armory SOCOM 16 CQB rifle, complete with ten-round magazine. And there I was, with no camera.

I'm definitely going to start carrying a camera around with me from now on.

It's a sign! Better get one ordered.

If you don't heed the sign it'll throw the universe out of whack, and dogs will be sleeping with cats, and Dimocrats will start making sense.

Paco said...

Well, damn, can't have any of that! Maybe I will get one.

To Mrs. Paco: "Yes, I know, we're retired, we need to watch our money, but who am I to buck the divine will?" Hmmm. I'll see how that goes.

rinardman said...

Well, she did see the sign with her own eyes, right? How can she deny it?

Tell her it's just a hundred dollars a month, for a few months.

I don't know, it looks rather assaulty to me. Maybe you should run it by Robert O'Rourke and see what he says.

rinardman said...

Yeah, assaulty, as in assault him up side the head with it.

The M1A is a fine rifle, whether in its SOCOM version, or the original M14 configuration (less the full auto selection switch, of course).

Why, with the addition of an accessory or two (or maybe more than three), the venerable M1A can be miraculously transformed into a long range shooting rifle.

That's a lot more moolah, Paco. If you point out that that SOCOM version is not suited for such modifications, this might sway Mrs. Paco that the SOCOM version is a fine investment.
