Hold Steady
A sumo wrestler displays determination and concentration before a bout. A long exposure captures the movement of people walking around the ring, carrying flags that display names and logos of sponsors providing the prize money for the winner.

FIRST!
Late to the party, had to pee.
I hand over the WOT Crown.
Cheers
I accept your gracious gesture, ChipNASA! I shall care for the WOT Crown as if it were my own until it must be turned over to the next First.
Did you wash your hands FIRST?
Ewwwww……
DAMN IT!!!!!
Commissioner Wretched you’d better wipe that thing down with Purell.
/just kidding. 😀
OK an old joke but a good one.
An Air Force guy and a Marine are in the bathroom taking a leak. When they finish the Air Force guy starts to leave. The Marine calls him out…”HEY, in the Marines they teach us to wash our hands after we pee.”
The Air Force guy turns and says: “In the Air Force, they teach us not to pee on our hands!”
😀 😉
I wiped it down with industrial-strength Clorox …
The Armed Services even tell time differently. When Civilians say “3 o clock PM the Army says “1500 Hours”, in the Navy some bell rings a few times after some Sailor polishes it and goes back to mopping and painting. In the Air Force, some O6 looks at an E3 saying “Bill, what time is it?” to which the Airman replies “Yeah Tom, Mickey’s big hand is on the twelve and his little one is on the three!” In the USMC they say “*OOG*, *ARGHH*, *GRUNT*, *GRUNT*, *GRUNT*, FUCK, KILL, OORAH!”.
I always heard it as the Air Force guy saying “Bill what time is it?” And Bill responds with “3 PM Sir” and the O6 responds “Why teh fuck are we sill in the office?”
When I first heard that joke (back in about 1968), it was an interaction between a West Point commissioned captain and an OCS commissioned 2LT. The 2Lt is the one who says, “at OCS they taught us not to piss on our hands when we take a leak.”
I don’t like to be the guy who says “well, actually…” after a joke, but here’s the reason you really should wash your hands after going to the bathroom:
https://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/1043/why-are-men-supposed-to-wash-their-hands-after-urination/
Oh geez MrBill, after reading that I’m off to gargle some bactine followed by some hand sanitizer. And gloves, must carry extra gloves.
Well actually 🙂 I’m not. Since urine is sterile I’ll just pee on my hands instead. lol
You know why that joke is bullshit?
NOBODY in the Air Force stands up when they piss.
BaaaaaBOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
Fucking SAVAGE
Well played Commissioner Wretched!
Thank you, Sparks!
Congrats to the holder of the WOT Septer! May you enjoy your rein for the week good Sir! I was busy buying a Ruger Assult Rifle with a 50 round magazine! Oh how I love Florida!! I hope all my friends at TAH have a wonderful weekend!
In the words of the King …
“Thank you … thankyouverymuch.”
Excellent, CW. Congratulations!
Thanks, GB!
Dammit, first loser. Congrats, Commissioner Wretched!
My thanks, RGQ!

And we are almost 10 minutes into the WOT and we only have 4 comments?
What is going on today?
Top ten is the best I can ever muster.
TOP 10
TOP TEN and I once again claim Honorary First.

…and some bad pilot is still in absentia.
I thought he was in the ground.
Last I heard he was still steadily maintaining an altitude of minus six feet.
Inverted hover in ground effect.
Ok, here’s my topic for the week. For the new year, my wife started a diet and subscribed to Weight Watchers. (I resisted the urge to buy her a “Congratulations on your new diet” cake – I freely admit that I’m a bit of a jerk, but one with strong feelings of self preservation).
The latest WW magazine came in a few weeks ago, but I just got around to seeing the cover. It has Oprah on it. Let me ask you a question… Does this look Reich to you?
https://theglowstop.com/collections/home-collections/products/weight-watchers-magazine-january-february-2018-oprah-set-yourself-free
Man, if anyone (R) had tired that pose, the media would crucify them. I look on the web… and nothing. No mention. I did nazi that coming.
she must be one of them Illinoise Nazi’s from yesterdays posts!
I believe that, for the Left, criticism of Oprah would fall under the commandment “Thou must not speak ill of the High Priest.”
YMMV
I hate to defend her, but that is the wrong hand.
But … but … it’s the LEFT hand.
over.
The left hand is used by the white supremacist neo-nazis. The right hand salute has been outlawed in most of the civilized world.
I did not know that.
Thanks.
Hack Stone would like to wish a happy 62nd birthday to the Vice President of a proud but humble woman owned business this coming Sunday. Congratulations Psaul, you managed to defy all odds and make it through another year of not kill it yourself by autoerotic asphyxiation. Hondo owes Hack $1.
Change “kill” to “killing. Hack Stone Publishing regrets the error.
Also I believe Hackstone Publishing made an error in spelling it “Psaul” instead of the correct “Psul” and leaving out his honorary title ” Of the Ballsack”.
No, it’s actually Palmer, remember?
AS TO the correct name, ain’t it Psulmer? Maybe that’s as good a guess as lucky as lucky sperm can be!!!
If he can’t even spell his name correctly, how the hell are we going to do it?

I’m here. The calico cat is back, begging for food again. She’s still fat and whiny. Someone is looking after her.
Strawberries are $.99/lb at the store, so I bought 2 pounds. Really good, ripe and tasty.
Enjoy them, Ex … I’m allergic.
Glad to hear the Calico is Fat & happy, me and my Missus just adopted a sassy little Orange Tabby from the shelter.
Allergic – damned shame! 🙁 Allergies can make you miss out on some really good stuff. There has to be a way around it, but haven’t seen it yet. When I bite into one, I will think of you.
But I detest strawberry ice cream! No accounting for it. Chocolate rules!
Good luck Ex! My wife and I are trying to get the neighbors to let us have their kitten that they keep outside. They have already run over one of them in the driveway and killed it. This kitten is so sweet and we spend a lot of time with her! I love her with all my heart!! I am thinking of just kidnapping her and bring her in the house. I can’t stand that people leave these beautiful creatures out in the cold! They say they are all allergic to cats except their daughter. She has a terminal disease so I don’t want to cause her anymore pain. But I really love that precious kitten!! What could they charge me with for stealing a kitten??? It would be worth it to save this pretty kitten!!!
Well, if someone left the door open and the kitten somehow found its way into the back porch, and found food and a warm bed there that MIGHT have belonged to another cat in your household, who would know?
The calicao is quite well-fed, goes missing for as much as 3 weeks at a time, and then shows up begging but has not lost even a half ounce. Therefore, I know that someone is her caretaker and since she’s ear-tipped, I know that she’s been spayed. I don’t know if she started as an outdoor cat, or was dumped, but she hangs out some place else when the weather turned nasty and cold, so I know someone is looking after her.
Thanks Ex, My dear wife spends a lot of time in the back yard loving this little fur ball, I’m hoping she will just bring her in the house some dark night and we will keep her. I will send you a picture of this little darling when I get the chance? I have a little calicao I call squeak, I swear she is pshycotic, she lays next to me in the bed, then with no reason, she will get up and bite the living shit out of me and leave? Strange little darling???
I completely understand, Willy. Seeing animals outside, neglected, really tugs at my heart. Maybe ask them if you could ‘babysit’ the kitten with the understanding the daughter could come over at any time for a visit. Tough spot. I honestly have come to tears seeing animals being neglected.
Top 20 so I showed up for formation anyway.
Missed it again! Spring weather coming a bit early, lots of folks want to start those landscape projects…
Happy weekend, fellow Dickweeds!
I got my Ed.D. a year or so ago, so …
“That’s Dr. Dickweed to you!”
And you can call me by my professional-degree name:
MASTER
Bwa-Hahahahahahaha
ROFL… my leftist sister used that as her signature on farcebook (or so my wife told me, I refuse to get on that leftist whine fest) so now I and a cousin of mine that is equally amused with her rantings have decided that her name is now, and forever shall be “the master”…The fact that it pisses her off just amuses us even more!
Ah, Master Chief Dickweed if you don’t mind. I am fairly certain I have earned that title.
I would best be described as DILLIGAF Dickweed, because I hurt so many feelings when I insist on offering the truth. Yes, I know that most people can’t handle the truth, and that is part of the reason that I offer it. I love to see the slackers falling by the wayside, laying there all hurt and wounded, in the fecal position.
Hey, maybe one day I could just call myself “A Proud Dickweed®™”.
And I can change mine to Lurker Dickweed…nah, I don’t like the sound of that at all…
And on this day 39 years ago, the newly wedded (that morning) SP/5 and Mrs. Claw (with chillins in tow) headed out from Fort Carson on their way to a fun filled honeymoon in Edgemont, South Dakota.
Lovely time of the year for driving purposes, got there just in time to help pull the first calf of the season.
After I was done foraging yesterday, I went to the restaurant on the highway for a cheeseburger. It was not weekend liberty night, but there was one out of uniform sailor (IT2) there for “C” school. I got into a nice long discussion about the modern Navy incoming peeps versus the antique Navy of my Days of Yore.
His impression of the incoming peeps is that they don’t know how to do anything without being told. They have ZERO initiative because their parents have always done everything for them, so they don’t know that they’re “allowed” or expected to step forward and do things.
They wait to be told. I observed that maybe the Navy should grind them down to the bare bones like the USMC does, to snap them out of their comatose state. He thought that was a good idea.
In addition, they are now being told ‘if you see something wrong (anything at all). report it’.
So some young couple in one of the barracks, destined to part company on the morrow, were observed having a lusty go-round with each other because they forgot to lower the blinds. (They should have charged a viewing fee.) Unfortunately, the viewing audience reported it. Naughty, naughty.
Ok my Dear, what is on the menu tonight? I actually cooked diner last night for me and the Grandson! I think I did pretty good. I think maybe we will go out for diner tonight, unless that is, you deliver??? Take care and have a good weekend!!
Your friend,
Willy
Tonight, I’m having a ham sandwich with chips and a side of cut up vegs.
I have to spend my weekend sorting through stuff to keep and throw out.
I cooked a spiral cut ham today for Sunday lunch at the family get together, it almost drove me nuts it smelled so good.
And when you’ve consumed most of the ham, putting that bone and remnants in a big ol’ pot of blackeyes…. hoooEEEE! Add cornbread and Son!, you got some eatin’!
I like to do that with 16 bean soup, and add some chopped hot links. Damn, that stuff is good.
If that’s a bone-in ham, I envy you in indescribable ways, RGR 4-78.
Yes, bone in. I am fixing to go carve it.
Dayummm … I’m reading these comments in reverse chronological order.
This sounds WEIRD!
Gun question. The only AR style rifle I have used enough to know was the M-16 and that was a long time ago. I own several rifles but want to buy my first AR-15.
The information available is daunting to sort through. Budget wise, I am wanting to stay under $1000. I found a Springfield Armory Saint at the link below.
Please offer you expertise and suggestions about this choice or better ones. I truly appreciate your help. Thank you in advance.
https://grabagun.com/springfield-armory-saint-black-223-5-56-nato-16-inch-30rd.html?source=igodigital
One thing I did like was the more 1911 style grip angle.
I have the Colt M4 style carbine. Conventional front sight post, rear flip up sight, heavy barrel. About $850 out the door at the local gun shop when I bought it a couple of years ago.
Thank you Brother. I will add this to my list of options and advice. I do know the Colt but as I said, a long time ago. I will look at them too.
Same here, Sparks. I got the Colt M-4 about 3 years ago, at the time it was about $800.
Thanks Brother.
I bought a S&W M&P 15 about a year ago, I love it.
Thank you Brother.
I have a M&P 15 Sport and a Sport 2. Great budget rifles and a blast to shoot.
Thank you Brother.
Look into Stag Arms as well while you check around.
Stag Arms is the only mfgr that makes left handed upper receivers for those of us who are right handed challenged.
I’ve had a hankering to add a Daewoo K2 to my gun Collection, it’s NATO 5.56 and it accepts AR15 mags, anyone among TAH have any range time with one?
The local indy gun shop has some variety of the S&W M&P 15 on special frequently. If you aren’t in a super hurry, you might check with one of your local sellers to see if they do the same, Sparks.
The one I handled there (forget which one) felt exactly like the old issue model from back in the day. It was very tempting at less than $650.
Thanks OWB!
I ordered one of these a couple years ago. IIRC, it was right around $400. Not fancy, added a reflex sight (about $70) and it shoots awesome.

Thank you SFC D!
But it. Good price.
Thank you Master Chief.
Stay away from the Saint, IMHO. I read some bad things. Rather, for the money, go with a Colt LE 6920. I have one, love it. I also have a couple of DD’s as well (love them as well). Go with the Colt again IMHO.
Thank you very much.
I watched YouTube videos on the Saint and you are correct. It is a good weapon but does have some issues not found in makers who have been doing the AR-15 longer.
I love my Sig M400. Right at $1000, but it will handle .223 and 5.56mm, and very forgiving, not to mention accurate as hell.
Thanks NHSparky.

The beer of the gun world
All basically the same, but infinite variety.
Late to the party, but present nonetheless, I present this weeks’ installment of the

4th place: Unearned awards with 5
5th place: Vietnam Vets – 4
6th place: Combat or Deployed phonies at 3
7th place (tie): Navy UTD/EOD, AF, Army Officer, and Beirut bombing survivors at 2 each
8th place: Military School graduates with 1
In the TAH 2018 Crank-steppers©™ kiddie-pool we have:

And that rounds out our weekly WOT report. Thank you for joining us.
In the Crank-steppers’ kiddie-pool, that is supposed to read “NCOs @ 2”
Your humble reporter regrets the typo.
Wow nice work sir!
Here…I think.
A thing I’ve noticed is that the gun grabber crowd is pimping supposed veterans who go on social media to harangue in favor of gun control, or make a big show of turning in/destroying their weapons. I would LOVE to see some digging done to find out if these people are vets at all in the first place and, if they are, what the nature of their service was. I’m betting you find a whole shitload of fakers, embellishers, and OTA/BCD recipients.
I would put money on them being REMFs/fobbits/non-combat arms, if they actually served. Doubt any of them are for real trigger-pullers.
The gun grabbers finding willing participants who may/may not be real vets will (I sincerely hope) backfire on them so badly when the phonies are exposed that they will not be able to live it down.
Now, you do understand that the fakers/SVers/phonies, being the mercenary wretches that they are, will participate in a willing way as long as there is cash in it for them, right?
Just ask Jesse MacBeth, or whatever the fuck he is calling himself this week. That POS played both sides of the vet card; the returning service member being screwed by the anti-military coffee shop, and then the traumatized veteran who was forced to do unspeakable war crimes.
I’m sure you’ll find many a Desk Jockey in their ranks.
Well , I was working in my garden today ( which is great therapy and I’d recommend it to anyone ). And I thought , holy hell ! In three days it’s gonna be the 15th anniversary of the start of OIF. I was a 36 year old , supporting 5th group rolling over the border. Not knowing what was gonna happen. I remember the times we’d roll back across the border back to Jordan and tearing up after seeing the American flag flying over an undisclosed Fob. Did it just about every time. So much time has passed and so much water under the bridge since that time in my life. But I won’t forget the Operators I drove truck for. Nor the Patriot unit that I went over there with. Nor the two friends who lost their lives in another part of Iraq. Guess I’m glad to be living in a country where I can enjoy growing tomatoes, peppers , and kids. Ps. Hope I do as well with the heirloom pink brandy wines. As I have the beef steak tomatoes. First year jitters
Well said, NCF. It’s good that we’re able to look back and remember, too many don’t have the privilege of saying “Damn, when did I get old”.
Very true
Since I’m on the topic of Deployments. When you out process and they pull your deployment dates ( which are accurate) from your ERB. Gets put on the DD214. But if you go on myhealthevet. To service history on blue button feature it says that The personnel center. I’m guessing with DMDC. Changes the deployment dates which may differ from the 214. The dates are not only inaccurate for me but for others I have spoken too. Anyone know why they do that?
Ok. Found out the issue. Nprc and HRC are accurate. HRC told me to contact VA which I did. Yup. Typo on their part all good. Just thought that was odd when I saw it.
Top 40? Happy Weekend!!
He was getting old and paunchy
And his hair was falling fast,
And he sat around the Legion,
Telling stories of the past.
Of a war that he had fought in
And the deeds that he had done.
In his exploits with his buddies;
They were heroes, everyone.
For when countries are in conflict,
Then we find the Sailor’s part,
Is to clean up all the troubles,
That the politicians start.
If we cannot do him honor,
While he’s here to hear the praise,
Then at least let’s give him homage,
At the ending of his days.
Perhaps just a simple headline,
In the paper that might say:
“OUR COUNTRY IS IN MOURNING, FOR A SAILOR DIED TODAY”
I don’t know who wrote this but I found it on the interwebs. It moves and comforts me today, as my Grandfather, a Navy Veteran who served in the Korean War, has passed. Reporting for his R&R at 0900 this morning.
Fair winds and following seas, Pappy. You deserve the rest.
Cheers,
MrFace
My condolences on your loss, MrFace. May your grandfather rest in peace.
Condolences on your loss, sir. May you and your family find peace even while grieving.
Condolences, may your grandfather rest in peace.
My sympathies to you and your family, Mr. Face.
Mr. Face,
My dear departed father served in Korea (13th Combat Engineer), like those of WWI and II Vets … your grandfather and my father were a different breed.
May he be in heaven a half an hour before the devil knows that he is dead.
MCPO ☘️
My deepest condolences on your loss.
Prayers sent, a glass of Jameson’s will be raised.
My Condolences, MrFace.
Mr. Face,
God Bless your Grandfather and all the Face family.
Prayers for your family, MrFace. Good thoughts will be coming your way in the days ahead. Just know that you are not alone on this journey.
Looks like I’m deploying to Iraq for Inherent Resolve in October. Wish me luck, fellas!
Good luck. Watch your six and ship all your shit home when you come back.
Good luck. May you and those with you come back safe I will keep you in my prayers
Good luck, may God protect you and your troops, and bring you all home to your loved ones safe and sound.
God be with you Captain. I’ll be praying for you and your family.
Good luck, Captain. My prayers are with you and everyone over there.
Good luck to you, CPT111A.
Be watchful and return safely.
Black flag … kill it.
White flag … detain and obtain DNA and all biometrics.
That is all.
May you, and all in your unit, enjoy the protection of God while you’re over there. Be safe, Captain, and come back to us.
Thanks, everybody! It’s a plans officer slot for a division headquarters, so it might not be the most adventurous thing, but who knows. I’ll definitely keep y’all informed.
(And I like where your head is at, particularly, Master Chief!)
Damnation! Keep your powder dry 11A!
Best Wishes to you and your team when you all get over there.
A part of me wishes I could go, but that’s easy to say when we get this far past the maximum age limit! No doubt you will represent all us past prime defectives well. I mean deplorables. No, make that misfits.
Have any of you fired the FNH FNX45 Tactical 15 round? If so, what did you think of it?

Oh, Bernath is still dead. No medical examiners report yet with a cause of death. With his computers seized, I am most certain authorities are having trouble trying to articulate what we have known for years.
But, what do I know …
He still owes people money, too.
His estate will be torn to shreds by those who have interest in that.
I have non.
I was net positive with Bernath, I got new SUV, got to expose a wanted xxxxx xxxxxx and had a hand in perhaps driving him into a cowardly end because he knew that I knew what he really was.
None.
Yeah, well, a small bundle of that cash would be welcome in some people’s homes. 😉
That Medical Examiners Report will show 0% trace of Red Bull.
Speaking of dead disbarred attorneys, was there any military presence (Honor Guard/Flag Presentation) at his funeral? At a minimum Hack would expect The American Legion sending a bouquet of Mylar balloons with “Congratulations” written on them.
Or a bouquet of rustling bushes.
In case I forget, Happy Irish Person Day tomorrow. I know it’s early, but I thought I’d stick the oar in first.
This episode is airing at 8:00 PM Eastern tonight on FXX.
And the Chineeze
Okay, friends … with Jonn’s permission, I’m going to toss this in here. As many of you know, I’m the editor of five weekly newspapers in West Georgia, and one of the perks of being the editor is that I get to write a weekly column. Since the publisher gets the good page, I have come up with something that’s been well received in my area … and I want to share it with you. Let me know what you think, and remember – I have a relatively thick skin for commentary. My column is called “Did You Know…?” and it’s trivia mixed with what I call humor. Here’s this week’s installment. (Of course, I use my real name in the column.) DID YOU KNOW…? Was a Swedish man once arrested for trying to split atoms in his kitchen? By Commissioner Wretched Last week, I mentioned that over 2,000 people dream of the same man … a man who nobody can identify, and the people who dream of him have no other connection to each other. I did my due diligent research and even found the website in which the dreams are recounted. It’s called “thisman.org” and it has a sketch of a rather creepy-looking individual. The story fascinated me, and after I wrote about it I did a little more digging. And guess what I found? It’s a hoax. Or, at least, some people claim it to be a hoax. One website says the whole thing is the work of a sociologist and marketer, who is apparently conducting a “grand experiment” to see how far she can stretch the story. Other websites, however, are filled with believable claims about dreaming of the creepy-looking guy. Which is correct? Heck if I know. The only thing I can say is, if you’re dreaming of me, you need to get help. Soon. The point of all this mea culpa-ing is simple – even us trivia “experts” get fooled from time to time. No foolin’. Anyway, if you want to share a thought about the column, your dreams, or anything else, drop a line to… Read more »
If you want to know more (…?) go to the column’s Facebook page, called “The Did You Know? Column Page.”
Did you know that a gathering of baboons is called a Congress?
I’d heard that before, API, but that one was too easy.
The naming conventions for groups of things are interesting.
For example, a group of wombats is a “wisdom.” This explains why wombats tend to be such pompous little bastards. Show me a humble wombat, and I’ll show you a neurotic marsupial.
On the other hand, calling a group of buffalo a “gang” doesn’t make sense. Judging by the activities of the buffalo heifers who used to hang out around Fort Hood, the organized crime connotations of “gang” seem unfair. It’s been my experience that groups of buffalo heifers aren’t all that organized.
A better way would be to use, like Hippopotamuses, the term “thunder” which opens up a whole range of further descriptive possibilities…
And there is a “murder” of crows. I think Agatha Christie used that as a title for one of her books.
And what would you call two crows?
In the game, “Bioshock: Infinite”, one of the “Infusions” which can be used as a weapon is a, “Murder of Crows”.
Since you brought up Sweden, the only Swedish word I know is “skumgummy.” No, I don know how to spell it – I can’t spell English words!
Take a guess what skumgummy means. Aw, go on. Or perhaps that should be worded: Did you know that in Sweden, “skumgummy” means foam rubber?
Did Dan close out his flight plan? Hear FAA gets pissed if you don’t.
I forgot to close one once. The FAA called my wife and told her my plane never arrived at my destination airport, even though it was safely parked on the ramp. Needless to say, she was extremely upset until I happened to call her. Thus, I filed no more VFR flight plans, which are optional and used to require a call to the FSS (FAA) close them.
Too many idiots roaming the earth. Birth control people!

Have y’all been out and about, visiting friends, traveling around, here and there? I have, and I love the freedom. But, not all of us are smart enough to retain our right of free movement. Take, for instance, one Kyle Christopher Barwan, whose only free movement is that bowel movement that his engorged sphincter just cannot control. He has stayed in that tiny little prison cell with that very big cellmate, up there in Northwest Florida at Century Correctional Institution. Looks to me like he didn’t even get to stay on the outside work gang but part of one week. Pitiful bitch that he is, I rejoice when I make my weekly checkup on him and see that he is still biting the pillow:

I wonder how quickly he’ll fuck up and get locked up yet again after his scheduled release?
Glad to hear that Frankie! Now if only my pos brother, David “Doc” Shrum could join him? I did see that New Mexico just passed a stolen valor law, not much teeth in it, but hey, at least they have something to arrest him for? Too bad it is only a misdameanor but what the hell, he is getting old anyway and hopefully won’t live much longer???

I have a friend that lived in Japan. He said that the better Sumo wrestlers actually have assistants that clean their butt for them after they take a dump. I say clean because it is more than just a wipe.

Fmr Deputy Director of the FBI Andrew McCabe fired two days short of eligibility to collect his pension. Damn, you see this like never among senior gov’t officials including general/flag officers. Sort of a FBI version of a Duck Dinner.
He must have really screwed the pooch. Can’t wait to see what he actually did after all of the corruption with senior officials allowed to retire with full pensions like Lerner.
Best answer I’ve seen states he bet $1.8M on a 98-1 odds race, and his nag lost.
Pretty much sums it up for quite a few in DC, AW1Ed. I bet he put all of his money on Virginia beating UMBC as lightening can’t strike twice, right?

Anyone have an opinion on the Sig P365? More specifically, how does it handle compared to the Sig P926?
Same size as many other compact 9mm’s with a higher capacity. All of the reviews from The NRA to Tom Gresham have been very positive. The only downside I can see is the price. I bought a Shield on Black Friday for $200. Is the street price of about $500 for the Sig worth it to me to change over? No. Will I trade in my Sig 938 pocket 9mm for one? No but for others the 10 round standard and 12 round extended magazine will make it worth it. If I was looking for my first CC pistol I would take a hard look at it. Since I have a drawer full of perfectly serviceable pistols now I’m not rushing out to get one.
It is intriguing, for sure. Was looking for a comparison with a P226 because that was the most comfortable shoot from the first round to the last I ever fired. Would consider buying something similar in a smaller size, but specifically like the “feel” of that P226.
I like the Sig brand for all the obvious reasons, but also remember that positive experience with the P226 years ago. Yeah, I understand the dynamics of a more compact size and shorter barrel length changing things like recoil. Am just hoping this model might replicate the general action of the P226 on a smaller scale. That extended magazine might take care of part of the comfort factor for the shooting hand.
It’s rant time for me so here I go. When the NY State Parole Board renders a decision regarding an inmate’s parole request, it does so by a panel of two or three commissioners. NY has 14 commissioners and all are political used-to-be’s or back room types whose gubernatorial appt’mts were rewards. They all have names, none of which appear in the stories regarding the NY State Parole Board’s most notorious recent decision to grant parole to an inmate. His name is Bell–Herman Bell, a former member of the Black Liberation Army, a very violent and very deadly organization whose self-assumed task it was to murder police officers. Bell killed three, two in NY and one in CA. The NY murders were of salt and pepper partners who were responding to a false call for help. In point of fact, it was an ambush and the call for police was placed by the killers. The officers were shot point blank, one 12 times, at first, but he was still alive. He asked the killers to spare his life, telling them he had a wife and children. Herman Bell was unmoved. He took the officer’s service revolver and pumped more bullets into him. bell, like all brave assassins, went into hiding, was caught and was convicted of the murders. Neither NY nor CA had a death penalty and NY had no statute that allowed for a sentence for life w/o parole. In prison, Bell availed himself of the free college classes available to him and earned a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree. In what, I do not know nor do I care. Herman Bell has been paroled and there is nothing that can be done about it.
That certainly sucks. Especially the part about the clowns voting to release him being hidden so that they may suffer nothing which approximates accountability for their actions.
May this thug find the justice he has earned very quickly. And a similar fate for the ones who paroled him.
Just keep in mind the people responsible for his parole were appointed by Gov. “Cuck” Cuomo. You know, the one laying down in the street with the kiddy anti-2nd Amendment protesters in New Yawk this past week.
A proggy campaign worker stopped by my house and tapped on my door, handed me some campaign literature, and whined about billionaires in politics.
I took the campaign lit, put it on my kitchen table, to study for the purpose of NOT voting for these progressive people. May they fail miserably at the polling places.
Until Dan Madigan is dead and buried, and the others who bolster his hold on the legislature in Springfield with him, one can only continue to vote against the proggie frogs.
I’m sure my cats would agree that politicians be fired, not in office.
I wore a female swimsuit to accentuate my man boobs. Summer! Here I come! I will link to beach pictures when I take them.
I had to do this LMFAO !!!!!! Quit trashing Obama’s accomplishments. He has done more than any other President before him. Here is a list of his impressive accomplishments: 1.

Thanks. I had forgotten many of his “accomplishments” while in office.
THE FIRST President in many years to not attend the annual Army – Navy Game as well.
I’m still wondering why #2 and #3 didn’t set off alarm bells with the general population as to the veracity of Obama
Adam Benjamin Appel formerly of Anchorage, Alaska and now apparently residing in Pahoa, Hilo, Hawaii seemingly lives a life of relative leisure largely as a result of his Street Medic non-profit companies. Adam Appel owns two separate non-profit Street Medic charities – one was formed in Alaska and is listed on the IRS website as a 501(c)3 tax deductible non-profit. However, the other which was formed and registered in Hawaii and apparently shares the same name as the Alaska non-profit is not a registered 501(c)3 non-profit as it does not appear to be listed on th IRS website as of this post. So the question is whay would someone regster two separate Street Medic companies of the same name in different states based on the owner’s experience as an emergency medical technician (EMT) when the owner, Adam Appel, does not currently appear in the list of either nationaly registered EMTs (which Alaska uses) or the Hawaii specific professionally licensed list of EMTs within the state. https://adamappelemt.wordpress.com/2018/02/15/evidence-shows-adam-appel-does-not-appear-to-be-a-licensed-emt-in-hawaii/ Not only does Adam Appel seem to live a life of relative leisure with a sparse permanent job history, he’s also previously been taken to court by the Office of Elder Fraud in Alaska for allegedly stealing hundreds of thousands of daollars from his own mother. Adam Appel settled this suit. Prior to this Elder Fraud suit, the Hawaii State Attorney’s Office sent a cease and desist letter to a previous “charity” owned by Adam Appel for a different company that not only was unregistered in any state but also was seeking donations online and falsely claiming that they were 501(c)3 tax deductible. MOst recently, there is evidence that Adam Appel may be using an alias after these uncomfortable questions are being asked about his charity and his false background. https://adamappelemt.wordpress.com/2018/03/10/adam-appel-may-be-known-as-adam-holtzinger-now/ Adam Appel’s own narrative about hs background includes false claims that Adam Appel had served in a Special Forces unit (false) and had been wounded by a sniper (false) in Afghanistan (false) after having enlisted in the US military (false). His real work history is as a railroad security in California for a… Read more »
This is a follow-up to those high school vandals who decided to trash the Walmart across from their school when the other students were holding a brief walkout protest.
60 (SIXTY) useless twits gave the rest of the student body a bad name. The videos of that vandalism were viewed more than the videos of the protest.

Not all the kids in school are asleep at the switch.
While according to the Principal, they are teaching the “challenge of hope”, they are obviously not teaching the “challenges of English grammar and sentence structure”.
It’s like, you know, like, hard, to do this talking like, stuff and all.
Spelling complete words is another challenge.
John Giduck – the turd with a face!
MEH, the weekend is nearly over with, but here’s someone’s dashcam video of the FIU bridge collapse, they even did the damned load test while traffic passed underneath!!!
FUCKIN’ Saint Patty’s Day Power Hangover, here’s the link:
I saw something strange on the evening news.
It seems shrillary was invited to attend some TV talk show, showed up in black & white pants and a black top – so far, so good, right?
The on-screen shot of her sitting in the studio chair showed her being nearly unable to sit up in that studio chair, with legs that looked incredibly swollen. Not fat. Swollen, as in peripheral edema, bad case of it. That is sometimes indicative of congestive heart failure, among other things signifying poor health.
Not a good sign. And she wanted to be president….
I had to yank the post about Robert Cooper because we weren’t supposed to have the pictures and I didn’t want to muck up RCMP’s investigation.
A retired FBI agent posted this on a video which has been removed but I had saved it. The Questions to ask Mueller and Questions to ask EX FBI Comey . Mr. Comey Isn’t it true that you were an assistant U.S. attorney for a prosecutor between 1996 and 2003? In your official capacity at the Department of Justice, did you investigate and did you clear Bill Clinton of any wrongdoing for extending a presidential pardon to Marc Rich, a fugitive from justice, a fugitive of the United States? Isn’t it true that between 2003 and 2005, you held a position with the office of the Attorney General? Isn’t it true that in 2005, you resigned from the Department of Justice and accepted a job as the senior vice-president with the office of general counsel at Lockheed Martin, a company that is a major, major military contractor? Isn’t it true that in 2010, when you were employed with Lockheed Martin, Lockheed won 17 approvals for private contracts with the Department of State while Hillary Clinton was the Secretary of State? Isn’t it true that in 2010, while you were employed with Lockheed Martin, Lockheed became a major contributor to the Clinton Foundation and non-profit organizations? Isn’t it true that in late 2010, after Lockheed was awarded those contracts by the Hillary Clinton State Department, you stepped down from Lockheed and received a $6 million payout for your services? Isn’t it true that in 2013, the largest bank of England, HSBC, was being investigated by federal authorities for laundering billions of dollars for the Mexican drug cartels, channeling money to the Middle East, specifically Iran, which is in violation of law? Isn’t it true that Robert Mueller, former director of the FBI and now the special counsel to investigate the alleged “collusion” between the Trump campaign and Russia… isn’t it true that Mr. Mueller was the chief counsel at HSBC… the same bank that was laundering money for the cartels? Isn’t it true that HSBC was a significant Clinton Foundation contributor? That Bill Clinton was being paid about $200,000 for his… Read more »
Testing – Testing. Code Monkey has been at work trying to fix my ‘puter.
Dammit Claw. Just pay the ransom.
This is the perfect place for me to post anything w/o anyone looking at it. They will think, “I’m not clicking his comment. That’s just 2/17 trying to sucker us again into thinking it’s the current WOT.” Of course, if you’re reading this, come clean. Admit you got suckered. The truth will set you free!
Lay off the PF5 key. The incessant clicking is annoying. There will be no WOT today, anyway. So, go back to whatever it was you were supposed to be doing.
You keep trying but you’re not catching me.
LOL!
Run, run, run as fast as you can. You’ll never catch me, I’m the gingerbread man.
