Pointless Announcements

How the hell is Pussy Riot's stuff more of a news headline than Kalashnikov dying?

 

I have to stop looking at stupid animal gifs. I am going to have an aneurysm.

 

So it seems like there might be a facebook showdown with daughter #2 over this whole Blackfish movie. Let the fireworks begin.

Kalashnikov is probably the single most important human being ever. Look at his contributions to world peace.

 

(This is just for those who don't bother with Facebook; Happy Holidays, y'all!)

 

Reached the point in the holiday where I've done all the shopping I'm gonna do. If it ain't bought, it ain't important.

 

The medium and the message... gotta love it.

 

It's a sad day yesterday that Comrade Kalashnikov died ! ​

i find myself listening and/or bouncing about to the beat junkies on this monday night just before xmas.

In honor of Kalashnikov, I spent the last couple hours on the couch playing with my Romanian SAR-1 AKM variant and watching The Walking Dead.
