Banning BB guns in Boston? woo-hoo

I remember my first Daisy BB gun... I still own oneJust when you think that it couldn’t get any wackier… politicos in Massachusetts want to take away your BB gun and they are asking surrounding states to do the same!

Don’t you feel safer?

I guess they must think that your BB gun is a ‘gateway’ weapon leading to massive purchases of Uzi’s, red meat any manly thinking. Gosh, we need to stop all that.

Funny how so many states are moving in the direction of licensing citizens to carry a personal firearm… and in the state of Massachusetts they are moving in the opposite direction.

Obviously, there are other things happening: in Michigan– The state ‘drops the minimum age for hunting deer, elk and bear on private land by two years to 10 for archery and 12 for firearms.’

Sooooo…. it has been a busy week… but the coveted BIG WEENIE award goes to the great — once heroic state of Massachusetts…. a full 4 incher!

da Big Weener

 

If you have a chance to see the NRA’s news and Information site… complete with Sirius Patriot 144 Radio , news and discussion.

Hmmmm…. I wonder when California will move towards allowing citizens to carry?  Hey, from what I have heard more states have passed laws allowing citizens to carry than not. So, Come on Arnold…. get off the tofu and back on red meat.

All of America’s veterans have placed our nation’s security before
their own lives, creating a debt that we can never fully repay.
Our veterans represent the best of America, and they deserve
the best America can give them.

— George W. Bush

Roasted Duck comes Early! USC — 35 Oregon — 10

little trojans... big dreams!Well… finally a ‘cup-cake’ game! We have waited all year since Arkansas for a game that would be decided relatively early… so that we could sit back and enjoy the game!

The game really wasn’t close… and this may seem rather partisan… but the Oregon Ducks showed little class: Number 99 appeared to be thrown out after his second low blow, and after the game, most of the Oregon players just walked and ‘ducked’ into the locker room without shaking hands …and the Oregon coach seemed to waste everyone’s time with unnecessary time outs and questioning and protesting virtually every call.

Sheeeesh! It’s not like he had a chance to pull an “Oklahoma.”

However, roasted duck was very sweet this year!

Here’s what others are saying:

Dissin’ Ducks!
Trojans Pluck Ducks!

Next up: CAL Bears come up next week followed by the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame! Kristin plans to join us to watch the Trojans meet the Irish two days after Thanksgiving!

fight on!

Southern California Trojans won’t ‘Duck’ this Weekend

Southern California Trojan FootballNow, the Trojans enter the season when the big games start happening. Oregon, California and Notre Dame will determine as — we would say in the old days — ‘will this be one more step towards the Rose Bowl… or one step back to the Fiesta Bowl?” Of course, this was all before the BCS stuff.

Yep. we’ll be traveling down to the Southern Cal — Oregon Game this weekend just ahead of some anticipated storms… should be quite a game … and with the Ducks… anything can happen!

Last week, the Trojans looked pretty good even throwing in their 3rd string against a team that would have trouble with their local Palo Alto High School football team… but it was great to see all the guys get some playing time.

USC wrote up a good interview on some of the anticipated matchups in the big Homecoming game… here’s a link

Now, let’s see some football! FIGHT ON!
