Gurkha Bravery
We've all heard of the legendary bravery of the Gurkha Soldiers, right?
Check THIS shit out. 40 to 1 odds, and he comes out the winner.
The translation comes across as a little strange, but the story is all there.
Bishnu Shrestha, a brave Gurkha soldier in Indian Army, defeated 40 train robbers while returning home after a voluntary retirement. The Indian army, is going to awarded Bishnu with Sourya Chakra, Bravery Award and Sarvottam Jeevan Raksha medals during the Indian Republic Day celebration on January 26.
While in the train, Maurya Express from Ranchi to Gorakhpur, on September 2, 2010, 35 year-old Bishnu saved a girl about to be raped by the train robbers in front of her helpless parents. After looting the train, when the robbers started to strip a 18 year old girl in front of him, he couldn’t contain his calmness. He took out his khukari and took on the a group of 40 robbers, alone. In the fight, he killed three of dacoits and injured eight others. Remaining dacoits fled the scene to save their lives.
The police arrested the eight injured dacoits and recovered Rs. 400,000 in cash, 40 gold necklaces, 200 cell phones, 40 laptops and other items left by the robbers while fleeing the train.
In recognition to his bravery, his regiment has given Bishnu a cash reward of Rs. 50,000 and it has also terminated his voluntary retirement, so that he could get a customary promotion after he receives the medals. In addition to that, he will also receive a cash rewards from the government, special discounts in international air tickets, and discounts in Indian railways train tickets.

Great orator, my Okie ass.
He's so fucking stupid he can't even dress himself properly.
Posting updates
So here's the deal:
I've decided to pre-load a few posts here to see how it works out.
I've already got it done so that several times tomorrow (Monday) a new post will pop up. That way, when you visit here to link to another site on my sidebar, maybe you'll get an unexpected grin.
No, I don't remember what time the updates will come, and yes, I hope to get feedback from you so I'll know if it's a waste of time.
Why did I do it? I don't know. But I hope it pays off for y'all.
Fuck Obama.

Well, it got all the way up to 68 degrees here in Central California. So fucking warm and sunny that I was wandering around in the backyard in my bibs without a shirt OR shoes. Had to wear my glasses though to dodge CharlieGodammits' land mines.
If this shit keeps up it won't be too much longer before I'm having to put off doing yardwork again.
Commenters, keep your profanity and death threats down to a low roar, please.

Ronald Wilson Reagan - 40th President of the United States
February 6, 1911 – June 5, 2004
A few quotes:
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.
I don't believe in a government that protects us from ourselves.
The government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.
How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin.
And last but not least, my favorite:
My fellow Americans, I am pleased to tell you I just signed legislation which outlaws Russia forever. The bombing begins in five minutes.
-Ronald Reagan, during a radio microphone test, 1984

Vang Pao family decries Arlington burial denial
FRESNO, Calif. -- The family of former Laotian general and Hmong leader Vang Pao says it is "disgraceful" that the U.S. Army has denied a request that the U.S. ally in the Vietnam War be buried at Arlington National Cemetery.
In a statement released Saturday, the second day of a six-day funeral in Fresno for Pao, the family said the denial is a lesson in how the Obama administration honors America's allies.
Two California congressmen submitted the request shortly after he died at 81 on Jan. 6, saying Pao should be buried alongside the American soldiers he fought with in Laos.
For those not familiar with General Vang Pao, his covert army consisting of Hmong and Lao tribesmen was recruited by the CIA to fight the North Vietnamese Army in Laos.
At the wars' end, he was responsible for saving his army and their families by pressuring the US to keep its' promises by allowing them to relocate to the US.
After his immigration, Vang Pao continued his efforts against the communists as evidenced by his arrest a few years ago by his former allies for conspiring to buy weapons to continue his fight.
The man was more a combat soldier than 90% of the American officers that served in Vietnam and fully deserves a burial in Arlington for his service to the United States government.
For more information on him, please google his name.
I had the privilege of meeting the man a few years ago at a Hmong clebration. He still was a soldier even then.

At least they're not pissing on it
The Postal Services created a stamp with a picture of President Obama on it.
The Postal Service noticed that the stamp was not sticking to envelopes.
This enraged the President, who demanded a full investigation.
After a month of testing and $1.73 million in congressional spending, a special Presidential commission presented the following findings:
1.The stamp is in perfect order.
2.There is nothing wrong with the glue.
3.People are spitting on the wrong side.

Okay, fishermen are notorious liars.......
A pair of ice fishermen thought they had caught a monster fish -- but they got an even bigger surprise than they bargained for at the end of the line.
Jason Mechtel and Jeff Klein went out on Lake Waconia in Minnesota to try and lure a monster muskie, but they quickly got a shock, MyFoxTwinCities reported.
“I mean, it didn’t take two seconds and this rattle reel went off,” said Klein.
Soon, every line was going crazy. The pair thought they had a monster fish pulling their lines out until they looked down.
“I literally almost had a heart attack,” said Klein.
A hand broke the surface of the water.
“I didn’t know what to do -- if I should shake it, or what,” said Mechtel.
A scuba diver whose safety line got snagged began sending rope up to them, and soon, they found their hook.
They removed the hook and sent the line back down, and were given a thumbs up by their aquatic acquaintance.
It turned out that three divers had gone into a hole just a short distance from where the two men were fishing, and had placed a flag indicating that they were down -- but the two fishermen had never seen one before and didn’t know what it meant.
The diver later came by to apologize and offered a couple beers as a peace offering, the fishers said.

STOP! YOU'RE SCARIN' ME!!!!!
Ummmm, thanks for sending it in, Niki. I wish you'd give a man a little warning first, though.
UPDATE: MY EX SENT THIS IN.
THIS IS NOT HER!!!!!! I REPEAT, THIS IS NOT HER!!!!!!
See the comments as to why I posted this message. I had to make sure I clarified that. The crazy-ass Indian will have my scalp for sure.
Priorities, you know?
A man had 50 yard line tickets for the Super Bowl. As he sits down, a man comes down and asks if anyone is sitting in the seat next to him.
"No," he says, "The seat is empty."
"This is incredible," said the man. "Who in their right mind would have a seat like this for the Super Bowl, the biggest sporting event in the world, and not use it?"
He says, "Well, actually, the seat belongs to me. I was supposed to come with my wife, but she passed away. This is the first Super Bowl we haven't been to together since we got married in 1987."
"Oh...I'm sorry to hear that. That's terrible. But couldn't you find someone else, a friend or relative, or even a neighbor to take the seat?"
The man shakes his head. "No, they're all at the funeral."
Thanks, Rob!

Well, no shit.
WASHINGTON -- A Senate report says U.S. officials should have recognized that an Army major was a "ticking time bomb" before he went on a shooting spree that killed 13 people at a Texas military base in 2009.
The report is sharply critical of the FBI, saying that top leaders must exercise more control over local field offices who failed to recognize warning signs that suggested the shooter was a threat.
The report concluded that both the Defense Department and the FBI had sufficient information to detect that Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan had been radicalized to violent Islamist extremism, but they failed to understand and act on it. And it said the FBI must learn to better use its intelligence analysts, who might have been able to better connect the dots.

Fat boys for sure
I weighed me and CharlieGodammit a minute ago.
I'm at 210 pounds and he's 90.5 pounds.
I'm kinda frustrated with my weight but with him?
With him it's hard to be anything seeing as the first thing he did when I let him down was nip at my ass (playfullness) chase the Main Evil Cat (frustration) and then licked his nonads (wishfulness).
I don't know what to think.

Them motherfuckers have been clocked at 43 mph at a dead run. I don't know where it was at and who was on the timer, but I can damn sure guarantee you they were right on the money. They're fast and can get that way damned quick.
Think about your range, your bullet speed, the wind (always figure in your wind, dammit, can I stress the motherfucking wind enough?) and calculate your lead accordingly.

Russ was my Bestest Friend when I was a teen-ager in Germany.
When I was a kid, my dad was in the Army so we moved around a lot. Made a million friends, forgot a lot of friends, you know.
Russ was one of those friends that I didn't forget. I cannot begin to to tell you how much trouble we got into together. Nothing serious, just kid shit. Like when we got busted heaving boulders into a backyard swimming pool, riding dirt bikes through the officers' club during Happy Hour, and feeding the bucking bulls alcohol-soaked grain a couple of hours before the German-American Friendship Day Rodeo started.
I last talked to Russ when I was stationed in Texas, then I went back to Germany for 3 years.
A few years passed, but I never forgot Russ. When I finally joined the 20th Century and got online, my first thing was trying to find Russ, but I had no luck, none whatsoever no matter how hard I tried.
Until I checked the Social Security Death Index on a whim, looking for his folks. His name popped up and I knew it was him because how many Russell Gregory Simpsons born in El Paso on Groundhogs' Day in 1958 can there be?
It stunned me.
I swear to God I just now made a beer run in my camo bibs and no shirt. How fucking redneck is that shit? Even the Hindu clerk at the Bellmart was laughing.
Okay. I was was stunned. I started making internet searches for his folks and siblings and finally, finally I found his nephew who luckily forwarded my letter to his dad who forwarded to his ex, Russell Simpsons' sister.
Russ Died on July 24th, 1984 from a self inflicted gunshot wound to his head due to depression over a failed marriage according to the Harris County Texas Coroners' report.
I talked to Liz, his sister, and according to her and brother Ed, the evidence didn't add up. Both are convinced that Russ was murdered by his wife and her boyfriend. Now, I know that suicide is hard to accept but given Liz and Eds' accounts and Sheriffs' reports and my recollections of Russells' happy-go-lucky-fuck-life-up-the-ass-let's-get-high-and-laugh attitude....... Russ didn't couldn't wouldn't commit suicide.
But regardless, I lost the one and only friend that I would've saved my pennies for air fare to go see. The friend that knew secrets I wouldn't even tell Yolo and Bella. The friend that I always knew was my friend.
Sorry. This is and always will be his day.

A tough looking group of bikers were riding when they saw a girl about to jump off a bridge so they stop.
The pack leader, a big burly man, gets off his bike and says, "Hey! What the fuck are you doin'?"
"I'm going to commit suicide," she says.
While the biker did not want to appear insensitive, he also didn't want to miss an opportunity, so he asked her, "Well, before you jump, why don't you give me a kiss?"
She gave the dude a long, deep lingering kiss.
After they were finished, the biker says, "Wow! That was the best kiss I have ever had. That's a real talent you're gonna be wastin'. I can only imagine what your blowjobs are like. So why are you wanting to X yourself out?"
"My parents don't like me dressing up like a girl......"

So now the peaceful protests have erupted in violence.
I'll be honest, I don't know enough about Egyptian politics to take a side.
On one hand, I support their past practice of supporting Israel, and that's a very big plus for me. Anybody that's ever read my blog more than 2 days in a row knows I support Israel, no matter what.
On the other hand, I think every nation should have a democratic government.
I am against any government that shuts down free speech (the internet and restrictions of the press) for any reason like the current adminstration did. That was just plain chickenshit..
I'm against the Muslim Brotherhood and their Hamas backing.
I admire the Egyptian militarys' restraint.
I completely disagree with that fucking punk Obama telling the Egyptian President what to do.
I agree that there needs to be a US government backed administration in Egypt.
I disagree that it should be our present socialist administration backing it.
See what I'm saying? In my admittedly uninformed opinion, I think that Egypt should become a democratic nation with scheduled free elections as long as radical islam organizations like Hamas stays out of it and that bitch ass punk Obama minds his own business and Israel ain't gonna get attacked again.

You know, in the past year Australia has been hit by devasting forest/brush fires, then massive floods and now a super cyclone.
All the pictures I've seen show a determined nation doing what they have to do, and most of the pictures show them smiling while they do it, the crazy fuckers!
I especially hope Mr. Orsm (http://www.orsm.net/) doesn't fucking die because we steal a lot of shit from each other. Okay, I steal from him. My blog would suffer greatly if it weren't for him
The Aussies have yet to cry for international help.
Not only are our friends some tough motherfuckers, but they obviously don't have many liberals there.
Hang tight, boys.

Gun Porn
The NIGHTHUNTER shown is in 429 GNR and has a 6 inch heavy duty barrel, a long, super strong 5 shot cylinder, all new internals, interchangeable blade system front sight with gold bead, set back trigger, Gunfighter Grip with satin black Micarta grips, full performance package that includes Maxi Throat, Deep Dish crown and action job. The entire gun is satin Vapor Honed with contrasting satin stainless parts. The new NIGHTHUNTER comes sighted in a ready to go. It is the normal $1395 on your base gun.
For those of you that aren't familiar with Gary Reeder Custom Guns, you've got to check his site.
Gary takes your base gun (the Ruger SA you send him) and rebuilds it to an outrageous piece of machinery.
From what I've heard, he replaces damned near everything to the point that the only original part of your handgun is the part that has the serial number on it.
All of the prices I've seen are between $1100 and $1400 (you supply the base gun) with only a 3-4 month turnaround.
What is really outstanding about this artist is that recently he's reduced his prices due to the faltering economy. How many other custom smiths have you heard of doing that?
For more examples of his work go to:

My dream gun is the one above in 41 GNR shooting a 265 grain bulet at 1800 fps. Maybe someday.......
Hornadys' Superformance Ammo
So I scored a couple of boxes of Hornadys' Superformance ammo in 22-250 and burned off 3 rounds to check my zero.
Now with their standard V-Max bullet, I'm zeroed at 1 inch high at 100 yards to hit dead on at 200 yards with an advertised muzzle velocity of about 3800 fps. From a rest with factory ammo from my Savage Model 11, I can get just under 1 inch groups which considering my shooting skills is fanfuckingtastic.
Now the data I've gotten from Hornady says that their Superformance V-Max should shoot dead on at 200 yards when zeroed at 1/2 inch high at 100 yards with an advertised mz of 4000 fps. The 3 rounds that I fired got me 2 inch groups from my truck which is still outstanding considering the contorted position my fat ass was in while trying to support the rifle with a cushion and my Stetson over the side of my truck.
I'll try to get some range time in within the next couple of weeks so I can give a better report, but I can tell you that a 2 inch group at about 100 yards from a semi-rest will still put me in the kill zone of a coyote at 200 yards out.

The 3 rounds that I fired got me 2 inch groups from my truck which is still outstanding considering the contorted position my fat ass was in while trying to support the rifle with a cushion and my Stetson over the side of my truck.
I'll try to get some range time in within the next couple of weeks so I can give a better report, but I can tell you that a 2 inch group at about 100 yards from a semi-rest will still put me in the kill zone of a coyote at 200 yards out.
Snow? Hahahahaha!!!!!!!
Just got finished reading Debs' post about snow in Maine and looking at Stevie Foodstamps FB pictures of snow in ABQ and reading emails from my ex-wife about the blizzard in Oklahoma and all I got to say is: Better you than me!
I hate the fucking snow. Growing up in Germany and Washington and Missouri, I had enough of that nasty shit. And if I wasn't real sure about it by then, being stationed in Germany and spending every motherfucking winter month in the field for 3 years damned sure convinced me.
One of the nice things about living in this pinko state is I can travel to the snow if I feel a need to get my truck stuck in a ditch. Seriously, a common saying when asked what's going on this weekend is "Oh, I thought we might go to the snow." And yes, with the crest of the Sierra Nevada only an hour and a half away, I can find snow all year round somewhere.
And I'll admit that going to the snow can be entertaining even if you don't ski, sled or anything else. If you don't believe me, next time I go (in a week or three) I'll take video of CharlieGodammit chasing motherfuckers in snowshoes. It's absolutely hilarious watching them try to run and then try to climb trees with snowshoes on with that dog dead off on their asses.
He does all right on skiers too, although he's yet to actually catch one of them.

Happy Birthday, Russell Simpson!
Happy Birthday, my friend.
I'll always love you, always miss you, always grieve you. But most of all, I'll always celebrate our friendship.
We had so many good fucking times in front of us, man. Sorry you had to leave me.
The times we could've had........
Damn, Russ. Damn.

My kinda folks
Five South Dakota lawmakers have introduced legislation that would require any adult 21 or older to buy a firearm “sufficient to provide for their ordinary self-defense.”
The bill, which would take effect Jan. 1, 2012, would give people six months to acquire a firearm after turning 21. The provision does not apply to people who are barred from owning a firearm.
Nor does the measure specify what type of firearm. Instead, residents would pick one “suitable to their temperament, physical capacity, and preference.”
The measure is known as an act “to provide for an individual mandate to adult citizens to provide for the self defense of themselves and others.”
Rep. Hal Wick, R-Sioux Falls, is sponsoring the bill and knows it will be killed. But he said he is introducing it to prove a point that the federal health care reform mandate passed last year is unconstitutional.
“Do I or the other cosponsors believe that the State of South Dakota can require citizens to buy firearms? Of course not. But at the same time, we do not believe the federal government can order every citizen to buy health insurance,” he said.
Thanks, MaryAnn.
I swear, I would retire there if Al Gore would get his ass moving on this global warming/ Climate change thing he's got going on.

Yeah. No shit.
I seriously wouldn't mind burning a fattie or two with him even though I ain't into that anymore.
I'm sorry.......
Thanks to Niki.
I'm devastated
Fuck me running, I lost a follower on my blog today.
Nothing unusual about that - anytime I post something controversial or post my opinion about world happenings I pick up or lose followers. But I had been holding steady for about 3 weeks now, at least until this Egypt shit started.
I don't know if I lost the follower (hereby referred to as Quitter) because of my anti Muslim Brotherhood opinions, my support for Israel or just because all this shit bores Quitter.
CharlieGodammit is try to eat a doggie treat and chew on his rawhide bone at the same time, the greedy fuck.
But anyways, regardless of the title of this post, I could give a fuck less if I have one more or less follower. I have my views and I express them. And I'm grateful for the solid reader base that I do have. Y'all kick ass.
Fuck Obama.
