One more for the dark side
As many of you know I went shooting last weekend and I feel I did OK. It's not my bag but I went and learned and will probably do so again just to make sure I don't get lazy about what I learned.

Well, I told my best friend and he was very intrigued because he's always known me to be such a pacifist...TRANSLATION: big baby.

He was so intrigued that when I suggest he should try it "just because" he thought about it and said, "Sure, what the hell."

So, I texted the fiance and he said we'll go this upcoming weekend.

1. Kudos for you
You can be a pacifist and still enjoy shooting and owning guns. Have fun this weekend.

9. Not to me either.
Maybe a decade ago. When ammo prices were 1/2 (or better) what they are now. Oh the good ole days.

11. What? You've been flying around for 2 weeks trying to get a signal?
You must smell like feet wrapped in burnt, leathery bacon.

12. Any bacon is good bacon...
I made some chicken salad (for sandwiches) a few nights ago and on a whim threw in a bunch of chopped bacon... maybe about 8 slices in 1lb of chicken salad.

Chicken+Bacon Salad
Lettuce
Tomato
Provolone
Croissant
mayo+mustard

It was awesome

15. Congratulations on two points.
1. Helping others cut their teeth on the whole "guns aren't all THAT bad" thing.

2. "Boyfriend" is no "fiance." Best wishes, and best of luck in marriage.
