spree killer: “Pardon me. You wouldn’t happen to know who here is armed and who isn’t, would you?”
me: “Everyone here is armed. And no one here is armed. So far as you know.”
spree killer: “What’s that, like some sort of Schrodinger’s cat-type mental exercise?”
me: “Good question. Here’s my answer: Imagine yourself attempting a spree killing here in Mayonnaise Landing, Crackerado. Now, imagine yourself in a box. Are you alive in the box, or are you dead in the box, do you think?”
spree killer: “I’m going to mosey on over to Boulder, I reckon.”
me: “That’d probably be best, yes.”
“Everyone here is armed. And no one here is armed.
Marines Had Weapons, But No Ammo During Navy Yard Shooting
Greetings:
As I learned in my military daze, when the going gets tough, the tough get going, and the smart are already gone.
A rifle without ammunition is a club, and a poor one at that. A handgun without ammo is even worse.
When they had bayonets it was at least a spear.
“Everyone here is armed. And no one here is armed.
BBC: Capitol SWAT Team Was Ordered to ‘Stand Down’ Monday Morning
One must assume that TawnyFawny is ignorant of the fact that the movie theater shooter guy drove past a couple of theaters closer to his house so that he could hit the one with the prominent “NO GUNS” sign in the lobby.
Of course, by the look of things, she’s been told three or four times, yet still remains ignorant. But she can still look down her nose at us po’ folk in Flyoverland, so she’s got that going for her.
According to this article students with deer rifles helped keep Charles Whitman pinned down while people worked their way up the Tower in Austin.

mark levin will be on glenn beck radio tomorrow morning via gb @ 5:30
Is it a kill box? Those kinds of details matter, you know.
good allan levin’s on fire tonte
mayonnaise? cracker? Why do white people hate white people so much?
Mayonnaise Landing, Crackerado.
Book: Black donors forced nearly all-white Obama campaign to recruit black aide
I object! Colorado is salsa country, not mayonnaise country!
Mayonnaise Landing would be down here in Cow Eater County, Georgia, where it’s considered a beverage as well as two of the four food groups.
Colorado gets its salsa from New York City. (“New York City?! Get a rope.” )
Gun-grabber Angela Giron embarrasses herself again
Mayonnaise? I’ll take bread-lettuce-tomato-bacon with that. Oh, fries too.
Why do white people hate white people so much?
well they used to hate black people but found it politically useful to now hate certain white people
Ohh, Mayonnaise Landing – that hurts! Is that like white bread and fatty foods ’cause you’re a white dude?
So tired of them dragging race into this. But fine, how about this then: You also don’t see mass shootings – the lone crazy dude randomly killing strangers kind – in the hood either. So….yeah, I guess these guys are just sane enough to select GFZ’s and other places where they know there would be a swift, armed response.
If you carry concealed in a GFZ, how will anyone know?
If you’re in the box with the cat, you could smear the cat with mayo, let it out, then when nutski slipped on the mayo, jump out and beat him with the jar. Or should I run that by Janet first?
When you draw and blast the bogey that hoped to kill everyone.
Mayonnaise Landing? What is it progressives and the need to break eggs? Hey, at least she didn’t say Miracle Whip Landing.
Excursion itinerary for the long march through the 2nd.
OT, here. This’ll make you feel better.
Ms. Fawn is not impervious to her own idiocy.
“Shooters gonna shoot.” Just not when they first *buy* the weapon. Not when they first leave the house. They don’t drive down to the goddamned police station to start shooting there.
Right, Pablo. At that point, there will be more than your own self who will be happy you overlooked the GFZ sign. What are they gonna do? Bring a trespass action after the fact?
Rhetorical question, of course.
GeoffB, the Brady character is operating on the assumption that the people with 300 plus million firearms are going to stand there with their thumbs up their asses for step one, especially since he’s so kindly mapped out his game plan.
She has all the intellectual acumen of Tawny Kitaen. I wonder if she looks as good frolicking on the hood of a Jaguar?
Kenny Rogers needs to softly sing “20 years ago” every time Tawny Kitaen is mentioned.

When I saw in TV Guide all those years ago that “America’s Funniest People” had booted Dave Coulier for her and whoever that guy was that co-starred with her, I laughed out loud. “Tawny Kitten? They put a porn actress on that show!?”
Only later did I learn her last name was… otherwise pronounced.
These parallel structures, it may be said, represent the most articulated
expressions so far of ‘living within the truth’. One of the most
important tasks the ‘dissident movements’ have set themselves is to
support and develop them. Once again. it confirms the fact that all
attempts by society to resist the pressure of the system have their
essential beginnings in the pre-political area. For what else are
parallel structures than an area where a different life can be lived, a
life that is in harmony with its own aims and which in turn structures
itself in harmony with those aims? What else are those initial
attempts at social self-organization than the efforts of a certain part
of society to live – as a society – within the truth, to rid itself of the
self-sustaining aspects of totalitarianism and, thus, to extricate itself
radically from its involvement in the post-totalitarian system? What
else is it but a non-violent attempt by people to negate the system
within themselves and to establish their lives on a new basis. that of
their own proper identity?

I miss the old days of “facts” and “opinions” and “jokes”.
Now everything is just a “meme”.
Or a trope.
Isn’t some kind of literature required for a literary device?
Is there a “Family Guy” novel somewhere that I missed?
We just have to give them enough trope to hang themselves.
Angela brought her own tree too to MSNBC.
And so a real socialist man necessarily becomes a schizophrenic.
As a practical politician he fights against the total pervasiveness of
indifference, bribery, passivity, absenteeism, theft on the job and
lack of principles, but as an ideologist he oozes enthusiasm over the
typical aspects of socialist work, socialist commitment, socialist
unselfishness and socialist integrity. As an ideologist, he is a socialist
man, but as a practical politician he is given special treatment in the
government hospital, and he does his shopping in special shops,
lives in a special residential district and has his children chauffeured
to school in official limousines.
As an ideologist he has taken over and almost perfected an
Orwellian language designed to cloud over the negative reality of
real socialism and make it positive.

Isn’t the way that meme is used here itself a literary device?

TygerBlood (?) kind of changed the subject all of a sudden, dint she, and threw in “where everyone is armed” knowing that no one at the Batman flic but whathisname enjoyed the pleasure.
I’m not saying she reflects poorly on blondes, because “Blonder and faker than other Hot Fake Blond” [sic], but has anyone seen Fawny and Boehlert in the same place at the same time?
*golfclap*
If you want to see even more desperate attempts to hijack current events to further an agenda, look here:
Needless to say, I attempted to instruct this…person regarding the myriad errors in the construction of this thought. But it’s an idea that he imagines is going to have some traction, so he’s reluctant to let it go.
This, by the way, is a problem I see that frequently occurs irrespective of political leanings: someone adopts an argument not because it has a lot of merit, but because it has enough spikes sticking out of it to be useful as a weapon for a while. I’ve probably done it. My reaction to this particular incident was not so much the result of personal insult (After all: do I accept that I am, as a gun owner, in any way like a spectator at a lynching? No. I have little in common with such people, other than the usual reasoning-biped general similarities) as it was defense of reason.
“If they feel offended by that, tough sh1t.”
That’s probably what Giron said before the voters sent her ass flying past the screen-door. :)
Yeah, my thought was: good luck with that rhetorical device.
That’s not a rhetorical weapon Slart. In a comments thread full of moralizing preeners and posturers, it’s plumage on a peacock.
But it says avg 10 +4dam +5hit on the side.
@Slart: Odd, the poster you quote sounds like the sort of person who incites mobs.
That realization is not odd at all, if you understand who and what you’re dealing with.
Your opponent is someone who wants gun control at any and all costs, and is completely incapable of foreseeing potential flaws with their little plan, such as (just to give one example) the presence of a failed nation swimming in guns to our South.
Once you understand that, no tactic at all is surprising.
It makes me want to go buy more guns, and stock up on ammo. Because nothing says totalitarian state like a bunch of people wanting to outlaw guns because their prior attempts at outlawing guns have made it shooting sprees easy and convenient.
I had no idea Oblivious Whinge was still extant.
Admiral Mike Mullen seems content to depict Benghazi and its contiguous international environment as an American gun free zone. The man has no shame.
Did they have Mayo in Benghazi, do ya think?
FINALLY!
19 Sep 2013: Talk Like a Pirate Day!
YARRRRRGGGH!

Did somebody say it’s Talk Like A Pirate Day???…

For a moment I thought this was Stephen Tyler.

aargh… that there be a fine lookin’ lass
if’n ye likes yer wom’n scurrrrveeee.
Shouldn’t that be “Belay that yarghing”?
I suppose it is, assuming I properly understand the term. I’ve read a bit, but I don’t always “get” the terminology people use to critique and analyze writing.
I just know that “meme” has become cliche, and is replacing perfectly good nouns like “idea” that are far more descriptive than this contrived and generic term.
Something else to love Richard Dawkins for I guess….
Was it Dawkins who popularized that? I always figured it was some sociology schmuck pillaging life sciences terminology so her made up bullshit would be scientific sounding made up bullshit.
*And by always, I mean since I first thought about it late last night.
An’ I be a learned buccaneer, havin’ three weeks o’ the parson’s skoolin’ unner me belt afore I gutted ‘im like a fish an’ run away to sea. ye-arggh harhh
Was it Dawkins who popularized that?
The Selfish Gene [Oxford University Press, 1976], Chapter 11, Memes: The new replicators
Ah. Then it was Dawkins whom the sociology schmuck I’ve posited drew upon when construcing a social analog to a biological process (or explanation of a process, if we’re going to try to be exact).
aaar ye land lubber, ye can have me brace of pistols when ye pry them from me cold dead fingers. . . in Davey Jones locker
I can’t find the Pirate Name Generator. Those are always fun, ye scurvy dawgs.
That’s sounds about right Ernst. I only vaguely recall the story, but think the sociologist lady (or whatever social science specialty she called her own) took off from Dawkins, who then subsequently turned to her fleshing out of his passing suggestion for the useful cyclic reinforcement. And round and round it goes down to today, I guess.
…from the valley of the jolly… “Yo ho ho!” …Green Pirate!
Pirate name generator, leigh.
Nyarr! I be nobody’s plank monkey!
