Things at work are the sameÂ… so IÂ’m not going to go into any more detail on it.

In other news, this Saturday is the home opener for the Rock River Raptors, the indoor football leage that I have season tickets for. IÂ’m looking forward to the game. Ktreva tried to find a sitter so she could go with to the game. She wasnÂ’t able to find one, so IÂ’m taking one of my friends from work. Not an employee, I think that would be improper. That and I donÂ’t believe any of them like football, let alone would want to spend a Saturday night with their boss. Then again if my boss were like me, IÂ’d want to hang out with him.

Today on lunch I was finally able to find a handgun that Ktreva likes, so we bought it. ItÂ’s a Walther PPK .380. Watch out guys, my wife has the James Bond Gun! ItÂ’s a nice little handgun that should fit her perfectly.

Unfortunately due to the laws in Illinois we can pay for it today, but we canÂ’t pick it up until Saturday. That means that some weekend coming up IÂ’m going to have to take my wife to the range to shoot. To be honest, it doesnÂ’t have a bad feel. IÂ’ll probably end up putting a couple hundred rounds through it.

2 I am so jealous! I still have at least two months to wait until my short barreled rifle transfer paperwork clears the ATF so I can get my anniversary present, a Thompson WWII replica with a 10.5 inch barrel.
It is semi auto only, but I have been wanting one since Saving Private Ryan came out.
I know it is heavy for a girl, but we have so many 45's around the house, it is an economical choice.

Have Ketreva give us a review....

3 I am soooo screwing with you......

4 Sweet. I bet you paid a mint for it. I'm indeed jealous.

Heck, our indoor football league team just went bankrupt and collapsed!

5 .380 is a good girly round. Did you have to buy her shoes and a purse to match?

6 oooo, shiny!

7 DPT: She's a woman... what do you want? That and even though a lot of people like to make fun of the .380. It still kills people dead.

8 Ok - I'm kinda slow but I just realized the title of this post is the tag line for Miss Congeneality (sp) Pt II.

And I gotta tell you - it scares me that I even know that.

But it's fitting. Knowing your wife - it's fitting....

9 Jeeze lil nessas got her own gun, and I've never even fired one. I feel like such a girlie-man

10 Walther PPK -- great gun! A .380 round will still get the job done, too.

Posted by: Wes at March 30, 2006 10:35 PM (XKQLY)

11 Preeeeeeety.
And a .380 is a little poochy, but it beats a fist full of car keys or a rolled up newspaper!

12 I keep telling you Shadoglare, we need to drag you to the range.

I'll let you pop off some rounds of 7.62X54R and shoot the .44 magnum

13 All it takes is an invite And of course I'd pay for any ammo I go thru.

14 Well done!

Three years ago today I was taking my very pregnant wife to the hospital. When I say very pregnant, I mean even though she was two weeks early she looked like she had a toddler inside of her. Really, IÂ’m not kidding. We have pictorial evidence of this. Clone finally was popped out uncooperatively at 11:12 AM.

Clone has since spent the last three years learning to not only emulate his father (me), but to find new and interesting ways to annoy his mother (Mainly by emulating his father), and beating up his brother (whoÂ’s ten years older).

While making some more Jerky tonight, I hear Clone call to me from the other room. “Bye Dada, I go shoot now” is what I hear. When I looked out of the kitchen, this is what I saw:

Please disregard the ketchup on his face; I hadnÂ’t cleaned him up from dinner yet. DonÂ’t worry; that .50 cal ammo can is empty, except for cleaning brushes. I just found it highly amusing the boy decided on taking his gun AND ammo for it. I also like the slightly mentally disturbed look on his face.

1 Oh, that reminds me, I found that 1000-shot reload pack I bought him >

2 The boy's a natural.

3 How cute is he?! heh heh heh! Like father like son.

4 I *just* need to hug him.....

What a doll baby!!

Posted by: Tammi at March 05, 2006 09:21 AM (lfQya)

5 .. he certainly looks psyched..

Posted by: Eric at March 05, 2006 10:19 AM (r5XsL)

6 One question... what exactly did u teach him to shoot for? By the look on his face, I'd say anything that got in his way,lmao. Too Cute!!

Posted by: talulazephyr at March 05, 2006 10:29 AM (/Vg0b)

7 For those who haven't met Contagion, yet, this is the same look that he gets on HIS face when he's yapping at you, with a touch of foaming.

Clone comes by it quite honestly... only he's a cute kid. Definitely gets that from his mom...

8 I love that look. When my boys get something similar I have a hard time not running over and smooching on them.

9 He looks like the gun is talking to him...

"What? You said something Mr. Bangie? It's time to cleanse the city in a river of blood?? Let's go! Wheee!"

Posted by: Graumagus at March 05, 2006 09:57 PM (5u5N6)

10 I still can't stop laughing and Grau's comment didn't make it easier! At least Clone comes by it honest!

Posted by: oddybobo at March 06, 2006 08:14 AM (6Gm0j)

11 Damn you, fill the ammo can! How's he going to learn appreciation for ammo if he can't play with it?
