I thought he was shallow but cardboard shallow?
Just in time for Christmas, Wayfair is offering a life size cut out of our prime minister, Justin Trudeau.
The best part - he's on sale. Order now and get yours on sale. Save three bucks while supplies last.
Local gun club bought a dozen for target practice.
ReplyDeleteThree neighbours bought them as door mats.
The SPCA bought some for areas where there are no fire hydrants or trees.
Just shows you Trudeau is useful for something!

The gun club part, that bothers me.
ReplyDelete.. out of sheer curiosity.. care to disclose name & location of that gun club ? Or the local branch of the SPCA ? There appears to be some sort of crude ethical lapse or complete vacancy involved. No range I ever attended in any province would consider doing so. If they did, my bet is most shooters would bluntly suggest they come to their senses or sayonaro.. I certainly would leave such a club immediately after a brief blunt word to the proprietor.. but I never had to see such idiocy. The SPCA usage seems a different level or slant of ethical failure.. I could never walk or drive past such a failure.. no matter who the cutout was.. It would be folded, bagged & likely returned directly to that SPCA
ReplyDeleteThat's reckless hate behaviour.. with a serious & dark malevolent twist
He's being sarcastic sal
DeleteI know at my range, Sal, that would get you barred - for good. They're clear on that right from the start. Cross that line and you're done.
ReplyDelete.. thanks Anonymous.. I have no worries re TB.. I just speak (write) my mind.. though I have no guns anymore (sold all firearms to buy my pro cameras).. we used a standard bull at whatever distance we were sighting in a new scope at 150 or 250 yards usually.. or running different hand loads or just getting used to a new rifle & scope. Range behaviour is very specific. The one I favored near Rockwood, Ontario often had 4 or 5 shooters doing the same.. and it was a busy trap and skeet range too. Lots of sudden cracks n blasts. Strict protocol re range safety.
ReplyDeleteThat range sold stock blanks too.. mainly birdseye black walnut.. so lots of custom barrel setting and ,aying work, lots of talk n yak in the range office and store where you got your bull.. and where you often dropped it off after 50 rounds or so. I was there a lot in the 60's and 70's.. and we bought our powder and loading, cleaning stuff there.. so as a farm lad I was taught and embraced the strict drill.. these were essentially sniper rifles we shot with. Wicked small cal firepower and flat ballistics for varmit (ground hogs in the hayfields) control from 22-250 and 243 up to bigger game larger cal 270 and 308.. though I never hunted deer, elk, moose.. not ever. I hunted with close friends, backing them up only.. for black bear and couger protection in heavy cover (up Vancouver Island fire roads and into the slash and false floors after the clear cutting east of Tofino, Ucluelet.. temperate rain forest.. just crazy ass terrain) In Grizzly country same deal.. I was there only to protect.. and be a 2nd set of eyes while tracking.. Alberta grasslands and where it got steep into the Rockies valleys. Nobody I knew sat in blinds or up in trees.. much less baited for game.. if you couldn't spot a game trail why were you even out there ? They're as obvious as a highway interchange.. and often as busy.. lynx, badger, elk, moose, deer, bear, wolf, fox, even wolverine grumbling along.. hold your breath when those nasty irritable critters track by.. hope they ignore you.. or its bad news
I try to comment on what I have some 'standing' on.. Rifles and shotguns are in my past. My grandfather was Jack Miner's best friend. He retired his Purdy shotguns.. to help Jack create his bird sanctuaries. I walked our farm fence lines with them decades later.. never shot a bird.. my dogs n I flushed mucho grouse, pheasant, quail.. and often spotted our wild and canny turkey. Thousands of ducks and geese cleaned up our cornfields after combining.. and I defended their safery against all comers, gunners and trespassers.. a teen on a big hunter with a 308 lever action saddle gun. Shamus & I with a big golden lab watched from the hill until darkness fell.. to hear the sound of thousands of beaks cracking corn and rustling in the corn stover defied belief.. to see the entire flock take wing was astonishing.. So ya.. I old school re guns.. People can ridicule or be sarcastic re politicians or people.. but best know to never go too far.. guns will never fit such conversation.. not ever
