It occurs to me that, having had LASIK surgery to correct my distance vision, I’m likely a much better shot now.
— Which I mention just in passing. Would-be looters.

I can vouch for the improvment that laser eye surgery brings to one’s marksmanship.
Looters, best stay away from Jeff’s house. That is all.
Unless Denver is expecting hurricanes, I doubt that looters will be coming to the door for Jeff’s actual “stuff”. Looting our liberties, however…
LASIK, schmayzik…
That’s why God gave us shotguns!
As long as I don’t run out of bullets, I’m not all that hung up on quick kills. Aim for the head, hit the leg, leave the fuckers for the coyotes.
Well, I’m concerned about zombie Alinskyites. So best to be prepared, I think.
BITTER, VIOLENT, CLINGER WINGER!!!!!
Ok. Off to my second follow-up visit.
Why are you advocating violence and the wholesale slaughter of your political opponents?
Because once you’ve lost professor Kiteley, you may as well go all in, JD.
lol, now that is funny.
Good luck. Maybe he can prescribe a Barret M-82. You know, to try out your new eyes.
– With 51% of the vote, and judging from the typical split in absentee voting, Miller is the winner.
– Insider pundits who originally called it for Murkowski are saying there just isn’t enough absentee votes for her to overcome Millers lead.
– Looks like the Lefturds have good reason to fear Palin.
– Looks like the Lefturds have good reason to fear Palin.
So Andrew Sullivan has been saying for some time now.
That’s fine, Jeff, but these days how can one tell the difference between looters and government employees?
I’ll give you an example, recently a group of criminals have gota hold of my daughters and granddaughters social security numbers and racked up millions of dollars in debt.
Unfortunately, that group is Congress, and LifeLock doesn’t seem to have an app. for that.
Ba-Dum-Bump…tishhhhh
Thank you, I’ll be here all weekend.
All you need is a good peep sight and you should be good to go. Lock and load.
RE: Palin endorsement key to total unknown pulling dramatic upset in Alaska…
happyfeet could not be reached for comment.
I recommend this ammunition: http://tinyurl.com/2cwn9bd
Mr. W., depressingly accurate humor…
happyfeet could not be reached for comment.
Say that three times and he appears –just like Beetlejuice!
– A spokesman for happyfeets reports he will be in his bunk for the remainder of the voting. Cards of sympathy can be sent to “Cupcakes-R-Us”, c/o “Ace of cakes” – LA division.
Ah, now that you can see clearly, you will no doubt understand the elegant simplicity and power of Obamanomoics, Obamacare and the Obamamosque. You see it was myopia not intellectualism that caused your previous impairment. LASIK cures classic liberal perspective.
I’m a Jewbag, Brian. Not sure I can really even be classical liberal, having been adopted into a group with such nefarious deficiencies.
LASIK cures classic liberal perspective.

You don’t need to aim Claymores. At least, not much.
Just sayin’…
– Claymores also provide an efficient way to clean up migrants sleeping behind your garage.
And concertina wire proved effective at Casa JD
That’s fine, Jeff, but these days how can one tell the difference between looters and government employees?
They’ll be the ones driving vehicles with GSA license plates, Mr. W.
And Claymores can be handcrafted locally. All you need is some black powder, some scrap metal, and an ignition circuit. Easy peasy!
As a would-be looter, I’d have to think about stealing your eyeballs first
I can certainly understand the reason they crave BRAAAAAAIIIINNNSS, that’s for sure.
Don’t forget a dog, Jeff. They are great early warning systems, and can be a great help in disposing of those unsightly corpses. They don’t need batteries or electricity, either.
Darth,
How on Earth did you embed a picture in that comment?! And is it me, or does that zombie look a lot like Kos?
Col. John, sir: I’m using a text formatting toolbar for Firefox, it has a button thingy to link an image. I just tried it and it worked. It lets you do lots of cool
stuffwith the text, so I really like it.25.Comment by mojo on 8/25 @ 10:07 am #
You don’t need to aim Claymores. At least, not much.
Just sayin’…
……………………………..works for me
There was a “Burn Notice” episode where a hit man tells the hero, “You know a claymore mine when you see it — not bad.”
Um, the first clue for me was the part that said, “THIS SIDE TOWARD ENEMY.”
Helps if you read the warning on ’em though. They ain’t kiddin’ when they say “THIS SIDE TOWARDS ENEMY”
dammit, ak4mc. Just dammit.
And during this whole “claymore” discussion I was thinking of the Scottish swords. Duhr.
In unrelated news, everybody wants thor.
i love the picture-adding tool
So was I, Darth. You don’t really need good eyes for that, too, though. Swing that son of a bitch and you’re bound to get a few zombies.
i guess it might would make it harder for JD and other mobile people unless they turn off images
I also saw that Sarah was smashingly successful at facilitating another six years of John McCain’s preening toolery
thank you Sarah thank you so much you just keep being you
shine on little diamond
Hey, with Obama providing our health care and other assorted goodies, we have all the more free time on our hands to contemplate, plan and execute lootings, burglaries, assaults, arsons, car jackings, brigandage and other asorted nefarious misdeeds.
Plus we’re now healthy, toned, fit and fast.
So it’s probably a wash.
I prefer to believe that Darth has magical powers rather than a simple toolbar.
Oh mighty Darth, in your infinite compassion and mercy, please make a cheeseburger appear on my desk!
OK, bh. Here goes …
It’s a miracle!
Pay him Tuesday.
If you really want to do your perimeter and are a real DIY guy, I recommend fixed-position propane-fueled flamethrowers.
Good for looters and zombies.
Ixnay on the ombiezays, guys. You’ll give BJ a complex.
That’s better than a simplex, S.W.
My dominant eye changed when I had Lazik. You might want to check that.
#43: happyfeet:
When you get past your Palinoia you might want to wonder why only Hayworth challenged McCain.
Something in that right there.
And you might also want to reflect that since all politics is bargaining and exchanging favors there might actually be a reason why she would endorse the man who brought her to the national stage.
(Of course I’m not discounting the fact that she may have read some of the things you have written about her and is doing this just to paly with your mind.
Heh.)
thank you Sarah thank you so much you just keep being you
God, I wish I could install TrollHammer™ at work.
I want a set of Cleveland CG7 Tour black pearl irons, Darth.
it’s disheartening Mikey is all I know… I just wish for our little country a McCainlessness what has proven elusive and Sarah, she is not helping
So let it be written, JD, so let it be done:
God help me, but for SW’s sake …………. boobies
One pair of boobies coming right up. Lopsided ones are a bit more interesting, don’t you think?
Okay, that is cool, and does not fuck up my CrackBerry. Let’s see how good Darth is. The Argentinian goalkeeper’s WAG.
Most excellent Darth, and yes, a bit of asymmetry adds a certain titillation, indeed.
JD knows real boobies. Not lopsided. Not blue. Not smelling of fish.
speaking of demoralizing dishearteningness
w.t.f.
these people are not serious
JD, I don’t follow soccer, sorry “futbol”. I’m trying to figure out if “WAG” is dirty or not.
This seems like a feature that could be abused. Excellent.
Darth – your eyes will not bleed, your eyes will sing your praises from now until eternity.
#56 happyfeet:
If you really want to change something then you better get off your rear and start working for it. Wailing on a blog isn’t going to do that, and neither is undirected rage.
Oh – and your dream candidate doesn’t exist. You have to promote people and work for people that are going to be the closest to what you want, always understanding that you aren’t ever going to get all you want.
Drat….Firefox needed, eh?
I love Claymores. When I was an enlisted infantry guy, I would volunteer to carry them, just so I could set them up in front of my position.
Knock, knock.
Who is there?
Not you anymore…CLAYMORE! BOOM!
Talking about zombies, this looks like it might be a good TV show. Forgetabout Mad Men, well except for Ms. Holloway. Betty Draper works too. And of course…
The zombies of course representing the socialist hoards. No longer content about regulating and taking your belongings and income, they want to actually feed on your living flesh.
Speaking of dirty socialist zombies….
More good news from the Socialist Republic of California! Nope, still no budget, silly rabbit. They’ve outlawed the doohicky that holds the gas nozzle on. They’re unsafe you see. No word on how they will keep people like me from jamming a pocketknife or something in there. Oh yeah, they’ve also come up with a new dress code for themselves when they are in session in Sacramento, and another tax hike on cigs. Did I mention the budget is three months past due?
I typically use the cap to the fuel tank. Or one of the wadded up McDonald’s bags that always seem to be present in any car I’ve driven for more than 2 hours.
The California legislature is utterly clueless. Micromanaging bullshit artists.
Unfortunately, with the most egregiously gerrymandered districts in the whole country, they can afford to be clueless. Even term limits hasn’t helped.
LBascom — stations around here often take the latch off the gas pump nozzle. Sometimes they break and aren’t replaced, but most often it’s because some dweeb didn’t poke the nozzle in all the way and the pump didn’t cut off when the tank was full, which is what it looks like the Cal Fire Marshal is worried about.
In many cases the best replacement is the gas cap (the pump will still stop, because the cutoff is the connection between the handle and the valve), but at least around here it’s common to find doohickeys sold in stores that are advertised for highly improbable uses, but by some strange coincidence are just the right size to latch the pump handle open. Capitalism strikes again. Wait for a shady character edging up to you at the pump and asking, “Psst, hey, buddy, wanna buy a fingernail file?”
Regards,
Ric
I just hate that the officials have to worry
Are you threatening the dhimmicrats and their IRS agents?
Would-be looters.
Would be? After decades of confiscation and redistribution and everything else demonized in Atlas Shrugged, I’d say you’re a little late with the “would be,” mate.
Unfortunately it has no discernable effect on elitist Utopian syndrome, for which there does not seem to be any known cure.
Unless you’re not looking for a cure but a solution. Then it’s easy.
AND!
All this time and I didn’t know I could do this?
SO MANY LOLCATS SO LITTLE TIME!
these people are not serious
Yes they are, they’re just not serious about, you know, American prosperity or security.
Firefox needed, eh?
No, just a little HTML-fu.
Paste the following code into Notepad and save it out where you can find it easily:
<p><img src=”http://URL”</p>
Replace “URL” with the URL of an Internet pic and you’re set.
oops! Forgot an angle bracket:
<p><img src=”http://URL”></p>
I’m losing faith rapidly dicentra McCain’s reelection was an important mile marker we just passed. Another important mile marker is the substanceless we’re not themness what is dominating the way 2010 is shaping up. Another important mile marker is that not even Palin or Jindal are making much of a to do about bumblefuck’s job-killing moratorium.
And not a single Team R person has called for the irradiatings of the diseasey eggs for so they don’t give people their diseases.
And if our Team R isn’t gonna make things better tell me what’s our Team R for?
That was a riff on a Lee Greenwood song.
You’re welcome.

Since Darth could not find it …
I was kinda shooting for to have a moment here
Now it doesn’t work. WTF?
I successfully posted that LOLcat with this:
<p><img src=”http://icanhascheezburger.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/a5ac9e6c-c336-43f2-a371-ecd56735b1cc.jpg” alt=”LOLcat”/></p>
What am I doing rong?
I had to cut and paste the link, JD, but it was worth it.
You are welcome. I cannot get that toolbar that Darth used to work. Prolly because I am dummerer than a jar of peanut butter.
California still has service stations that sell Gasoline?
I thought Cali-mobiles were powered by sunshine and happythoughts.
Or at least Unicorn flatulent
If you’re using the Text Formatting Toolbar extension, you need to make sure your code selection is HTML instead of BBCode.
Socialist spoiled kids vs. Nazi Zombies Of course with the old classical liberal thrown in to give warning.
I’m losing faith rapidly dicentra
You should lose faith in the near-future prospects of Team R and our little nation. The fruits of 80 years of stupid, stupid, stupid policies, corruption, and stupidity are ripening and about to fall from the tree.
Hunker down and settle in for the long haul. , peeps like us will have to help the next generation rebuild it.
Tunafish and powerdered milk and toilet paper is all I’m sayin.
And pray if you’ve got ’em.
I think McCain won because the voters decided that it was better to stick with the old-crank they know than to take a chance on the younger crank.
That and they like to be lied to, I guess.
Hunker down and settle in for the long haul. When it all falls apart, peeps like us will have to help the next generation rebuild it.
I guess I can finish writing my HTML For Dummies guide with a clear conscience.
As an ignoramus of magic boxes and the connecting tubes, does posting pictures increase Jeff’s bandwidth usage? Just occurred to me.
On the plus side, McCain NOT getting bumped off spares us the interminable discussions amongst the puniditocracy about what the failure of the 2008 Republican Presidential candidate to win his primary means for the future of the party.
I liked Dead Snow I didn’t think they were super spoiled just kind of naive about nazi zombies.
I don’t know. I could see large images doing that, but iffen we keep ’em small, it shouldn’t be too bad.
why are U.S. marshal people driving acuras?
All those images here are hot linked. They use other people’s bandwidth. One would need permissions to save images on Jeff’s server to do otherwise.
no bandwidth increase cause they’re served from other people’s servers
Hmmm… animated?
Tunafish and powerdered milk and toilet paper is all I’m sayin.
Tuna fish and powdered milk are going to need some other ingredients besides toilet paper. How about some pasta in there?
Big black Chevy Suburbans with tinted windows too obvious?
that’s a working theory for now I guess Mr. Norman
I’d say I tole ya so ‘cept I’m steeling myself to tell me I tole ya so.
Bloody hell. It doesn’t get any easier the further you go, does it?
In this video we’re Lilly Allen and John McCain is Professor Green.
Or, not, lots of fit WAG-types in it, regardless.
Speaking of losin’ your religion, how about losin’ yer Party, America? I mean, you needed more cause than this?
The other stolen vehicle is also a black 2005 Acura RSX and is owned by a Chicago police officer. Police said it contains 1,000 rounds of .38-caliber ammunition.
What I want to know is what the US Marshal Service is doing with .38 ammo.
I’m thinking the US Marshalls’ sporty Acura RSXs are/were probably used for surveillance, as the typical domestic SUVs and sedans might look too “official gubberment” to the perps be surveilled.
*being*
durrr…
Oops, my bad – says Chicago cop had 1,000 rounds of minor calibre ammo. Guess he’s entitled to it.
SW,
I think the second RSX with the ammo was a Chicago cop’s personal vehicle. The cop probably uses an old skool 38 Special.
Darn it. The netiquette would seem to mandate termination of the fun then.
Spiny,
Guess they have thin-skinned small varmints in Chicago.
Let’s see if this works …
what’s the rest of the tatoo
Hot linking rocks, but that is obviously too large. Sorry if that made your eyes bleed.
What tattoo ?
No eyes bleeding here. But what does “WAG” mean?!!
Wives And Girlfriends – it is a community of hotties dating international soccer players.
These inserted picture things could be used for mischief!
I intend mischief
happy, I only call them socialists because they are from Norway and use a hammer and sickel as weapons against the ramaging Nazi zombies. I guess the chainsaw representis American capitalism! I actually got a kick out of the symbolism.
Unfortunately true, Joe. But if we behave ourselves, Jeff might continue to let us post images for “humorous illustration” purposes.
So behave yourselves!
jd we got the “a” side how about the “b” side
Thread becomes NSFW in itself not just the occasional link.
And yeah I’m talking about #131.
that picture makes me glad i’m not muslim.
and i denounce myself.
That duck isn’t wearing any pants.
#131 is NSFW? I can see how one might argue that #121 is NSFW.
router – The A side is definitely NSFW
Right bh.
I’m just pointing out one of the pitfalls of dropping images in comments. Plus that hot linking not only uses someone else’s bandwidth but they can retaliate by changing the image the link shows to something that is really NS for anyone.
Whoa, Citizen Journalist, and other shooters of would-be looters! Beware! The EPA wants to regulate lead, including “ammunition components”.
AP makes a good argument about the EPA not following through on this idiotic idea, but there’s a link to the EPA comment site. A few choice (and non-profane) words are in order, just to be that you don’t have to shoot pure copper slugs, or be scrounging lead to melt for your own castings.
Mr. Spiny used his own photobucket I think I saw
Side A
SFW, for newrouter.
Photobucket is free and don’t steal nobody’s bandwidth… so no disgruntled image site is gonna replace it with scat pr0n.
That’s probably a good idea for everyone. Using photobucket that is, not the disturbing full frontal nudity.
I am done with that new thingie. The probability of abuse in my hands is … high.
Yes, it’s clear that you often abuse something in your hands.
I already have the permanent thousand yard stare thing going on from previous assaults at the urban dictionary … scat pron terrifies me
All of the urban dictionary stuff was directly attributable to alppuccino.
yes but, the tattoo mystery
What tattoo?
I thought it was a birfmark
or a hairy nevus
like that Walton kid had
I did not notice anything.
the left arm tattoo. this is important!
WTF are you doing looking at her left arm?
that’s an armadillo on that fore arm
Only one force in the world can keep us truly safe from scat pr0n:
They’re smiling because they already bagged one of those freaky Germans today.
OUTLAW
guns and roses to nuns with guns
Great one, bh. It still does not explain why happyfeet and newrouter were admiring her left arm.
She had arms?
it might could be a bruise
Guns and rosaries.
the goddess of liberty is pointing to the future
Here goes:
Goddamn. I was going to wear that same outfit
Flickr also works as a photo repository.
Maybe WordPress only lets you post one per day, but if I go upthread I’ll see some hoser who has done it at least twice, and I’ll feel really lame.
Let’s see if I can do it twice:
Yep.
The tubes are mysterious, di. If the Flintstone cartoons are correct, the little dinosaur with a paintbrush in your computer box needs to be fed.
A what?
Burp.
Kewl! Claymores, boobies, and lolcats all in one post. Amazing. But for really serious perimeter security nothing beats teh foo gas!
[Sigh] I should know by now not to try to use photos from blogspot. But it was such a lovely flame!
Heh, and Lone Star has that effect on me too.
Nice. Now we can have boobies in the comments!
Sight alignment, sight picture, breath control. That’s what our PMI kept telling us.
My SF friend said he liked Ivory flake laundry detergent best. I don’t know if it’s even made any more. Probably not.
Extensive video game research has convinced me that nothing beats a sawed off shotgun when killing zombies.
Jeff when he sees what’s been going on in here:
This one will prove useful. Or this one …
Ah! Threads like this one just give me a warm fuzzy. What would we do without the good ol’ 1st amendment? (And if the html foo doesn’t work this time I give.)
oh bandwidth outlaws
Swen – The 2nd Amendment is pretty damn cool too ;-)
Meh, some things were not meant to be. Probably for the better, god knows what I’d be posting.
Fels naptha works good too, but you’ve got to grate it which is a pain if you need a lot. Easier to use the cheap pink hand soap that came in 5 gallon buckets. It’s already liquid so easier to mix. I suspect any of the liquid laundry detergents wold also work well, but I’m a retired pyromaniac so can’t say….
Oh, the 2nd is my very favoritist amendment — and I love those big double guns — but the pix I was trying to post was more of a 1st amendmenty kinda thing. Oh well, I guess it’s not one of those things that’s so easy a caveman can do it, huh?
I like you guys and stuff, but I think photobucket is the way to go.
And, here’s how to transport a lolcat.
Jeff’s gonna delete this entire thread and take a hammer to WordPress, just wait and see.
Now, Photobucket has a thumbnail option, so’s if you click the thumbnail, you get the entire image. Let’s see…
…?
Hey, I have one of those CZ’s in .375 H&H. It is a really nice rifle, very accurate and surprisingly un-punishing to shoot. Of course it weighs close to twelve pounds so it is a real chore to tote around all day. Bought it a few years ago for an Alaskan griz hunt that fell through. I hold onto it because there is always tomorrow.
Would love to have a double gun, but since I doubt I’ll go to Africa I really have no use for one.
I am jealous, ThomasD. Adding a Holland & Holland, preferably a double gun and really preferably a 500/465 Nitro Express, is a wish/goal of mine. I blame Silver Whistle.
I’ve fired just about everything you can shoulder mount at least once, but never one of those big bore nitro’s. Fondled a couple at gun shows. They are silly sexy, but then again, things with that kind of price tag usually are.
If you do but one you simply must take it to Africa.
Did you intend the double entendre with “Fondled”, ThomasD?
No, no double meaning. I really fondled them, and proudly too.
But, I’d never grope one, because that would be vulgar.
Gotcha. I would fondle one, unapologetically.
Someone was asking about breaded pork tenderloin sammiches … I saw on a show on Travel channel that they were introduced in Indianapolis by German immigrants as their version of schnitzel. There is a place called Edwards Drive In that is considered by many to be the best here, and they also serve home-made root beer on site.
OK, now I’m at home and I have the Firefox plugin.
I am watching Man vs Food and he is doing a burger challenge at my favorite burger joint, Bub’s.
All right, I found the Travel channel and those burgers look good. Recently took my kids to try out the local Five Guys (latest ‘top’ burger chain.) I was underwhelmed but No. 1 son though they were excellent (he’s partial to heavy cheese and on that score they deliver.)
ThomasD – They are beyond good. He said at the end that it was one of the 2 or 3 best burgers he has had in the entire United States. Five Guys and Bub’s are staples for me when I am at home.
I need to get out more.
But what I really want now is pancakes. Damn Travel channel.
No shit. I get hungry every time I turn on this show, or Guy Fieri’s Diners, Drive-In’s, and Dives.
It’s a problem with the quote marks, it looks. Parsing the code, I found that the ones that work look like this, whereas for reasons unknown, with the ones that don’t, the quotation marks are taken as part of the URL rather than delimiting it.
Go figure.
The hard part about watching these shows is realizing how close I’ve been to so many of those places, and thinking only if I’d know.
Here’s one of my favorites that I’ve actually been to.
http://www.munchies420cafe.com/
Thank you. I am not officially very hungry.
Thank you. I am now officially very hungry.
Yeah, Munchies is in the Gulf Gate section of Sarasota. If anyone is ever down that way Gulf Gate is a kind of quirky spot with some great eats and a couple nice pubs. The Crescent Club, aka the World’s Greatest dive bar is a few minutes away across the south bridge onto Siesta Key.
The Big Ugly Burger
http://www.bubsburgersandicecream.com/burgers/photos/photos.html
My html-fu fails me again …
The Big Ugly Burger, before being cooked.
Oh, i really fucked that up, big-time. Lo siento, mis amigos. Feel free to nuke that all to hell.
Winner.
Just so everyone knows.
Whoever can edit comments need only add a width parameter to the IMG tag. Or just grill it down to size — never nuke.
I really am sorry folks. It did not look that big when I pulled it up. It exploded in size. I am a dork.
OK, that’s just weird.
If copy the code from the source file of the ONE LOLcat pic that I successfully posted, then replace the URL, it works.
Also, the corn photo? Inexplicably has 320 hits. In just the last few hours. Maybe when people open this comment section it registers as a hit on Flickr. Go figure.
And these guys have 96 hits, also from my having posted their photo unsuccessfully upthread.
I’m going to bed now. Maybe this HTML nightmare will get better after some sleep.
Dag nabbit!
It also doesn’t like URLs that don’t end with .JPG or .GIF.
Don’t feed the pigeons:
Somebody nuked the burger. Nuked burgers taste nasty.
