Best wishes to all citizens and legal residents of Paco Nation for a healthy and prosperous New Year! Thanks for dropping by, and we hope to keep hearing from you in 2022. Let's hope it doesn't fit this scenario:
If nothing else, one way or the other, time seems to be running out for this bozo's presidency...
Unrelated update: I found an almost-empty box of Winchester 45 grain .25 ACP "expanding point" cartridges in the back of my ammo locker and took the remaining 7 rounds out to the range. These things are at least 35 years old, and I recollect that they jammed badly in a Sterling semi-auto pistol I had back in the day. The jamming may have had something to do with the ammo, but almost surely had something to do with the pistol, which I learned, not just through personal experience, but many years later in doing research on the internet, was generally considered to be a lemon.
Well, they worked pretty well in the Colt vest pocket. I had one failure to feed, but cleared the jam quickly and had no more problems. I was only firing at five yards, but the gun made a nice little group, and the only way I really knew the gun was firing was through the sound; recoil was practically non-existent. A fun shooter.
Update 2 Haw! Gateway Pundit has a New Year's Tweet from Cankles...
She looks like she's waiting for somebody to get out of the bathroom at a Sunoco gas station.
How many layers of paper would it punch thru?
ReplyDeleteWell, two, for sure. I was shooting at a paper plate taped to a piece of cardboard, and the bullets went clean through both.
ReplyDeleteWe laugh, but I wouldn't want to be a stopping a bullet from it, personally.
ReplyDeleteAlso, from our Finnish friends at Beyond the Press, this is how real men set off firecrackers to celebrate NYE!
Happy New Year to friends far and wide! I raise a glass of the finest Sumerian meade in friendship, loyalty, and stalwartness these many years. A special toast to our beloved host! God bless!
ReplyDeleteFinnish firecracker fun! Outstanding!
ReplyDeleteDet cord, blasting caps, and primer charges ... ... ain't nothing like explosives to start off a new year!
ReplyDeleteNice to see "they" modernized connecting detonation cord -- those plastic thingamajigs are better than tying knots in line explosives.
And, no, I wouldn't care to be shot by a .25ACP. Nor by a .22LR, for that matter.
The bitch with the battleship hips
ReplyDeleteAt Sunoco stands with smirking lips.
I'm within 5 yards
I look for the guards
Watch out for these Freudian slips.
Delete that if you want.
ReplyDeleteBecause that was a faulty limerick. I thought I had it.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed it.
DeleteHorrible.
ReplyDeleteI must disagree, my friend. Not horrible.
ReplyDeleteBoys and their explosives.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Pacoistas!
Hillary is definitely going to make another run at the presidency. She just can't help her sorry self.
Cankle’s photo is at least 10 years old. Unless it’s photoshopped, that woman in the photo is no where near her mid 70s.
ReplyDeleteAnd what’s left of her base will eat it up. ‘Cuz Rebecca is right.
Happy New Year, all!
Oh, yeah, that's got to be an old photo. She's got a face like a Shar Pei nowadays (but doesn't wear the wrinkles nearly as well as the Shar Pei does).
ReplyDeleteShar Peis everywhere appreciate that qualification, Paco.
