Isn’t it hilarious how the liberal vultures in the MSM are absolutely furious over the fact that news of Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally peppering his friend with birdshot during a quail hunt wasn’t revealed to them for an entire 18 hours?!?!?! The VP immediately placed his personal medical response team in charge of getting the injured party all necessary attention he needed, the local authorities were promptly informed, and a friend at the incident was allowed to make a press release to the local news paper.

The VP knew damned well that by giving the scoop to the local rag, he would essentially poke the MSM elites right between the eyes! HA!!! If you missed the whining brats in the White House Press Corp reading the riot act to Scott McClellan over the 18 hour delay in releasing the news of the accident, you’ve gotta see it! No doubt, this is a classic MSM elitist assclown hissy-fit in its purest form! What a spoiled bunch of brats! You can even see that curmudgeonly old bag Helen Thomas sitting front and center having all to do with just preventing herself from having a total breakdown! Simply awesome!!!

Piggies are so cute and they’re damned good eatin’ too! My favorite part is the loin ’cause it’s so tender and cooks up so nice and juicy (well marinated of course). I know folks what got piggies fer pets and they act so much like dogs that it’s almost surreal. In fact, they say that most piggies are smarter than dogs which makes you wonder; why does our mouth water so much at the thought of a pig roast but not dog roast? If piggies are so damned smart, why do we find ourselves domesticating the dumber animal in the first place? Oh well, I guess doggies are a bit more cute and much more cuddly. Have you ever tried petting an adult piggie? They’ve got the coarsest hair of almost any animal I’ve ever known! The cuddle factor must be the reason we love doggies so much more.

Anyway, there’s this game I’ve played for the passed 15 years which I found to be even way more fun than shooting fish in a barrel. It’s called “Pass the Pigs” and just today I found out that someone turned it into a flash game! Although it’s nowhere near as fun as it is rolling those cute little piggies off your fingers, it does offer a close simulation to the real thing.

You roll the piggies like you do a pair of dice and depending on how they land, you add up points against your opponent. The trick is to know when to stop before they land on opposite sides – thereby eliminating any points you accumulated during your turn – and pass them on to your opponent to do the same. If they land leaning against each other you loose all points accumulated during the game and have to start over from zero. The object of the game is to be the first to reach 100 points or have the most points accumulated after 10 turns. In real life, you can make up extra rules and set the winning number to be whatever both players wish to agree upon. That’s the other thing that makes playing the real game that much more fun. The real game is only like $10 and if you do an internet search for it, you’ll find a lot of places where it can be purchased. My advice is to get the real deal, but for now, just click the picture below to play the flash version. Have fun!

I remember being part of a group of kids that spent all our free time roll playing WWII battles in the local park and around our neighborhood. There were about 10 of us in our small community who had relatives (grandfathers, great-uncles + such) that either fought Hitler in Europe or Tojo in the South Pacific and we idolized them as heroes (still do). The Vietnam War was still being fought at the time and some of us also had family fighting over there at that time as well. All in all, we must have had some 20 kids that participated and each of us would insist that Santa got us the coolest toy weapons every Christmas. What couldn’t be found under the Christmas tree or in the toy stores, we would make up in our tool sheds or basements. I remember once making a cardboard tube bazooka which eventually got used as a main gun on a mock-up tank we made out of plywood, 2×4s and an old go-cart. We even had a couple of girls that participated as soldiers, field nurses, hostages, messengers and spies. We would draw straws to determine who fought as the enemy and luckily I only remember a couple of occasions when I had to fight on the side of the axis. It was truly a golden time in our lives and we all had so much fun. As blog goddess SondraK points out, times be changin’! Kids today can’t even play a simple game of tag! WTF is that all about?!?! Unfortunately, it’s really quite sad that today’s PC police and Freudian peaceniks have made it nearly impossible for kids to have real wholesome fun anymore.

Yesterday I pulled this article off Drudge’s website and had to give this revelation some pause. The military is actually gearing up to start using laser weapons in order to take out enemy defensive ground positions prior to putting boots on the ground. They’re claiming that it will nearly eliminate all collateral damage (undesired casualties of consequence). While that sounds all wonderful and humane and such, what are we going to be left with for the satisfaction and affect of “shock and awe?” Somehow, melting a tank or an anti-artillery battery with a searing beam of light just leaves me a little flat. Ya know? It just doesn’t seem to measure up to the adrenaline level achieved when, say, an A-10 “Warthog” dives in strafing an enemy’s defenses or a line of armored tanks!!!

That hail of hell-fire coming out of the A-10’s nose is a General Electric GAU-8/A “Avenger”. It’s one of the most awesome weapons in our military’s arsenal and it’s mighty damned impressive! Talk about “shock and awe!”
Here’s a closer look at the fearsome devastation this thing unleashes…

Lasers, Pffftttthhhhh! And what the heck ever became of Nicoli Tesla’s death ray? Huh?
