Misc. Friday Ramblings...

Larry The Cable Guy: Just remember -- if the world didn't suck, we would all fall off.

• It's Photoshop Phriday.
  Transformers...more than meets the eye.
  


• Your freedom of speech != freedom from consequences.
  

  Free speech only protects you from persecution/prosecution by the government. You have the right to say what you want...but you still have to face the consequences. If you don't believe me, go tell your boss to fark off.

  
  


• Summarize your sex life with a Star Wars quote.
  "At that speed do you think you'll be able to pull out in time?"
  or
  "Get in there, you big furry oaf! I don't care what you smell!"
  


• Woman shot at vigil for shooting victim.
  Ah, so that is where Irony's sting went.
  


• Getting in on like animals.
  

  MEET the couples who say having sex dressed in furry costumes is just wild.

  
  At least they aren't like the horse couple.
  


• Highway Worker Killed By Steam Roller
  Note to self, turn off the heavy equipment before dismounting.
  


• WWE makes wish come true.
  So he was booking that day? No wonder it was a better show than normal.
  


• Charity asks promoter to strip its name from pornographic website
  

  The president of the Autism Society of Florida, Ven Sequenzia, is located in Miami. He told us over the phone that he didn't have a problem with the donation, but he did have a problem with the society's name being used on a pornographic website.

  
  Thanks for the money, now get out. A money shot indeed.
  


• Gadgets for the Star Wars Geek.
  Ooooh, Vader popcorn. The kernels are strong with this one.
  

Friday FIREPOWER!

• Guns used in Self Defense.
  

  Have you ever defended yourself from a crime in your home, in your business, or in public by using a gun? Perhaps you warded off a potential attacker by simply showing a gun?
  
  40 states now allow their citizens to obtain conceal-carry permits for handguns. Some people say that's dangerous, while others say it allows them to protect themselves.
  
  If you have a story of self-defense involving the aid of a gun and would like to tell it to 20/20, please fill out the form below. A "20/20" producer may contact you.

  
  20/20 wants self-defense stories? Could it be true that armed citizens are safer than the sheeple? *Gasp* *Shock* *Horror*


• "Best 'buck 80' I ever spent."
  

  Well, I guess it's time we finally put this one to rest.
  
  People are steadily asking me to try a load of dimes in a 12 gauge shotgun as a defense load. I guess all the westerns that use this load have created a myth that needs to be busted.
  
  First a little education. One of the ways old timers used to test an unmarked shotgun barrel for choke, was to try to insert a dime in the muzzle.
  
  If it would not go, it was a Full Choke. If it went through the choke, it was a Modified Choke or larger.
  
  The reason for this lesson is this… Ddo not try to shoot a load of dimes through a Full Choke or you will have a bad day.
  
  Or at least your shotgun will.
