Action Movies I Hate

WANTED.  Love the Angelina Jolie looking all hot and sinister… but I really hate the BS about the magic healing milk bath, the magic code weaving loom, and most of all… the curving bullets.

COMMANDO.  50 Kills in 3 minutes. Lemmings just lining up for the Governator to mow down.  Come on.  Could no one flank that guy?

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE III.  In an attempt to show Tom Cruise’s acting ability, he did the whole movie with his eyes welling up with tears.

Everything with Jean-Claude Van Damme.  I just hate that guy.

Damn near everything on NETFLIX.

Ogre’s new Kalash

I put an AK-47 on Layaway today.  I’m going to need it come Spring Time!  I’ve been looking at buying one for some time now, but hadn’t found one that I really liked.    Well, I found one.

The Kalash

This was built by Cugir in Romania, then rebuilt by M&M LLC. It’s been around the block.  Typical WASR10, with some rails and TAPCO stock and trigger, with a Hogue pistol grip.  It actually feels really good.

Crusader is going to be offering an AK Focus course for 2012.  So pretty much I need this, so it’s a justifiable expense.  A required expenditure.   Also, this gun is going to be the test mule for Crusader’s AK work.  What can we do to the AK that gives any actual, tangible benefit… what is going to be worth spending money on, and what’s not.   I don’t want to sell anyone on something that’s not going to help…  If it’s not, we’re not going to offer it.

Now, I have some planned work for it.

BattleComp.  Lightning Bolt.  Ambi-Safety.  Slipstream ST-2 Treatment.  Serious Dehorning.  Cerakote finish.

My last Kalash I got was a Vector Arms under-folder from FBMG back when they were in their salad days.  It was a great AK… very good stuff.  But there were things I didn’t like about it… Sharp edges, thin finish… it wasn’t perfect, but it was very good for an AK.  At the time, it was the best AK I had ever owned, and I have had several.  It’s a shame that Vector Arms went belly up.  If Crusader does get into the Kalash Building Business…  this means Utah is going to get a good in State AK again.

Time

Time Magazine’s Man of the Year… The Rapists, Thieves, Vagrants, and those that shat on the US Flag and Police Cars; That’s their man if the year.
Really?
So the magazine that used to celebrate the American Way… Is now the equivalent of a Radio Shock Jock… Howard Stern is now the Editor?  No, because even Stern would’ve not been that stupid. 
Pathetic.

Newt vs Mitt again. Content Added

You guys know I’ve been weighing the Newt and Mitt thing ever since Newt got serious.  I’ve been thinking about this a lot.
I’ve come to the conclusion that Newt, while he would make for a decent president, the man is just not electible.  There is little chance he could win.  I really think that if Newt gets the nomination, Obama will win reelection.
When Dr. Savage offers Newt a million bucks to drop out… That shows us the crest of a huge Anti-Newt wave that’s only just starting to form.  The push against Newt is going to get a lot worse.   Those that are in the middle, the fence sitters – those that tip election scales, are not going to pull the lever for Newt.  He is obnoxious and disliked.

This leaves us with Mitt as the only tangible candidate that has any hope in Hell of winning against The Great Halfrican.  Like it or not, that’s the situation.  I’m saying this, knowing full well that Romney is as likeable as… something that’s not very likeable.  I also hate the fact that he goes to the same church that I do.   But he could run and win against Bamma. Newt can’t.

So here’s my prediction…

I whip my hair back and forth

Will Smith has a little girl… She has a song out by that title.  I think too many shooters have that song stuck in their heads.
Search and Assessment means look around you for threats… Not jerk your melon around like your in a pop dance number.  Fight and train alike… So take a moment and actually look around you – or don’t do it at all.  Because not only do you look retarded, your building a harmful training scar.

McQueen was the King of Cool

Steve McQueen was the coolest man on earth. I’m not going to write a Bio, but trust me… the man was Cool Personified.
He was a Hollywood Actor as his Job, but when he wasn’t acting – he was out there in the world doing cool stuff all the time. Racing cars and motorcycles is seriously cool. High Octane and Awesomeness flowed in his veins. Even when he wasn’t doing cool stuff, he was just chilling at home – being cool. If Chuck Norris is the King of Asskicking… and could kick everyone’s ass on the planet… He couldn’t touch McQueen, because McQueen only had to given him a look of disdain and disappointment that would leave Norris in quivering ball of tears and vomit.
The world is much less cool because of the loss of Steve McQueen. This was the cause of Global Warming. Ask NASA.
So what actor could possibly replace Steve McQueen as being the new Super Cool?
Clooney? Depp? Not hardly. The new Bond Guy? Getting closer… but that’s not him… I think there is a guy – and he is pretty damn cool in real life.
Eric Bana.   Look at his movies… awesome stuff… and he races.  I think Eric Bana is the Heir to Cool.

Yesterdays shooting

One thing that I failed to mention… Jim’s .45-70 Marlin was crazy smooth.  The action felt like a Henry Goldenboy, it was so slick.  None of the rough grittyness that is typical of a Marlin, in any caliber. 
My own Marlins never felt half as good.  My Rossi M92 .44 Mag feels really slick and smooth… But not like Jim’s.  He’s been running Slipstream for a long time through that gun, letting it really work in.  Mine will get that way eventually, given some more time.  You feel the new Marlins we have at the store… Slipstream makes a new one feel just plain sad.
Marlin should be using Slipstream at the factory. Just saying.  Because they would then be smoother than a Browning BLR…
