Poll without the trappings

If I weren’t so burnt out on computing shit, since my boss’ Eudora got hosed, I would do this up right with some kind of actual poll.

But I am burnt and I ain’t doing it.

The question is should I go to this mad place for a fun-filled Disney-esque weekend? (And, by Disney-esque I might mean Kafkaesque, if Kafka was known for his alacrity with assault rifles and automatic weaponry.)

M. has the hook-up for a free weekend at gun camp. Actually, THE gun camp. In Nevada where freedom reigns thanks to laissez faire state legislature.

Scary, I say, yet with a flavor of curiousity. M. thinks once in a lifetime to hobknob with folks we wouldn’t get to meet at all, let alone in one weekend, together. I’ve seen their promo video. I would have to approach like Margaret Mead checking out some in-land group of Samoans to whom all other Samoans give a wide berth, claiming all sorts of devilry and cannibalism.

Swear to the good intelligient designer who made us all so, I would love to get some comments. Pretty please?

To gun or not to gun?

    guns point squeeze trigger bang or lot of bangs depending on type .Now dependning wether you are planning to kill loads of things (or maybe you just like the noise they make)whats your real reason
    as all the guys there will think you are a lesbian for showing an interest
    in the macho he man hobby
    if you want to do shooty things why not try archery as its a real skill
    or paintball and leave the bang bang look how big n hard i am to the wankers with the small willys
    and as for defensive driving try hiring a car in london next time your over here you will learn all the skills you need before you left the airport

    Well it’s every American’s God given right to bear arms. Whether you need a semi automatic weapon for aggressive deer hunting or simply to protect your Walmart valuables from home intruders, it’s our right, period.
    And right means right! So when your neighbors are pounding on your door yelling,”Help us! Osama and the terrorists are here,” you can say, “Fuck you! Ya shoulda got a gun. Now only the outlaws have ’em pussy.”
    So unless you want black people sneaking in and stealing your Apex brand Dvd player…lock and load!

    Very entertaining guys. Glad to give you some web real estate to get all macho and shit.

    I suppose I should make it clear–I ain’t looking to BUY a gun or seriously use one. It’s sleepover camp, when you think about it, with the few and the proud Americans who really dig on the “Don’t Tread on Me, Happiness is a Warm Gun” philosophy.

    Undercover work in the culture war.

    As for Dave’s surmising on the macho, lesbian tag. Nope, not this group. Check the website, they have a section for women’s testimonials and feature some chick gushing over her first encounter with an Uzi on their promo video.

    These folks are well-educated, financially well off, white-collar Americans. In short, they scare me.
