Expletives Are Funny!
In this season of Lent and spirituality, I feel the n33d to share this story with my fellow bloggers.
So...badandy(BA) and I were in alabama a few months ago, returning from lunch. He was driving, and we were still getting familiar with the area. I had been giving him some static about it on the way to lunch, during lunch and on the way back, so i assume he was gettins somewhat sick of me harping on him about directions. That, of course, led me to do it more. (sidenote, i <3 BA) After a few missed turns on the way to lunch, and almost missing one on the way back, we come to the drive to enter the client's building.
Wagz: I think thats where we turn...
BA: Naw...
Wagz: (watches as we drive past)
BA: wait...
Wagz: Yeah...that was it alright...
Now comes one of the funniest unintentional expletives i have ever heard.
BA: "F$%& ME JESUS!"
Now...the thing you have to know about BA is he has a tendancy to speak quickly. His intent, from his explanation was as follows...
BA: "F$%& ME!!!" (pause) "Jesus!!!"
Instead, it turned into an incident of BA requesting sexual favors from the savior of many.
/raises glass
Heres to you, BA.

Range Trip #3 in 7 Days
Ill keep this short and sweet.
Headed back to NASR with my buddy Keith today. He has some pretty sweet guns, all revolvers except this winchester hand cannon that has so much compression charge force, my hand hurts from firing 5 rounds out of it.
I fired a few sets, at 15 feet and 25 feet.
15 Feet
25 Feet
As you can see, accuracy is getting better. Esp since most of the hits on the 25 foot target is with keith's .357 magnum.
Off to bed...been a long long day.

Fark.com Makes me Happy
Sample headline from fark.com....
Drugs smuggled over the border in car batteries. Feds break it up with Operation Jump Start. Somewhere, in some federal building, some guy in charge of naming operations is thinking, "Dude. I roXXor"
I love those guys...

The Best Thing to Happen To The Republican Party
Howard Dean. What a Jackass.
During a meeting with the CBC on Friday, Dean joked, "You think the Republican National Committee could get this many people of color in a single room? Only if they had the hotel staff in here."
Im speechless.

Ha...
From a coworker...
Three men are sittin' on a bench.
one's a Texan wearing a Stetson, one's a Muslim wearing a turban,
and the third is an Apache with an eagle feather woven in his hair.
the Apache is rather glum and says
"once my people were many, but now we are few."
the Muslim puffs up and says
"once my people were few, but now we are many."
the Texan adjusts his Stetson, finishes rolling a smoke, leans back in
his chair and drawls,
"that's coz we ain't played Cowboys and Muslims yet."

Linux is taking over...
Slashdot | Linux-Based Cat Feeder
This could be the funniest /. article ive seen in a long time. The best part is definately the comments at the bottom.
Here are some excerpts...
In order to stay current with all Linux features, Microsoft Feed (tm) will be bundled with the next major release of Windows.
The early insider-only reviews contain the following highlights:
The feeder dispenses 70kg of food at a time no matter what size cat you have.
Users of the feeder must use Microsoft CatChow (tm) or an authorized, licensed, compatible cat food (MS-ALCCF). Non-Microsoft licensed cat foods "may" cause your cat to crash.
The feeder contains hidden, Microsoft-only APIs to connect to Microsoft LitterBox (tm) and Microsoft ScratchingPost (tm). These products will be available early next year.
To show Microsoft's committment to open standards, any kind of water may be used with the Feeder product, although Microsoft may "extend" the Water Standard anytime in the future in incompatible ways.
I want Chicken, I want Liver...
Linux, Linux Please Deliver...
So can you also set up a cron job to clean the litter box?
Hardware hacking and Python? Pfft. All he had to do is this:
% cat < /tmp/tastyFish
What are they teaching young admins in college these days, anyway?
$ cat "food in tin cans"
cat: cannot open food in tin cans
I was wheezing i was laughing so hard....

Jeff on Dating
How to tell if i have found a bad date...
Jeff: if she stalks you, shaves your head, kills your cat, and converts your NTFS partition to FAT32
Waggoner98: MAN
Waggoner98: nothing worse than file system conversion.
Waggoner98: bitch.
Jeff: yeah...that sucks

Safar RSS - Will Change How I Browse
I cant wait for Tiger to be released, also known as Mac OS 10.4. The main reason im looking forward to it is for the new version of Safari, that incorperates full RSS support.
I never got into RSS that much untill a few weeks ago, when Jman showed me Bloglines. Its a pretty slick service that lets you input different RSS feeds and browse them in one spot online. I.e. create your own online newspaper. I have over 20 different feeds now, mostly other peoples blogs that have XML or Atom feeds, but still good.
Safari's RSS support looks to be incredible. Now if only Safari would come out for PC's, so i didnt have to use Firefox at work...dont get me wrong, me rikey firefox, but its no safari....

The Results Are In
Tonight was a special night for me. I found my love.
She is cold. She is black. She is deadly.
She is a Sig Sauer P226. A 9mm handgun that is so money.
I went back up to New Albany Shooting range, rented the Sig that i looked at earlier this week. This gun was alot heavier than the glock i used, and bulkier. This one used a hammer, unlike the glock, which gives it a bit stranger action when fired. Its not much of a change, but noticable. I also noticed that the trigger on this weapon was alot less sensitive than the glock as well, taking alot more pressure on the trigger to make the weapon fire. Im not sure if that is adjustable or not, but i actually liked it better after using it for a while.
I picked up 150 rounds, 5 targets and my ear and eye protection, and i was off.
First Distance = 10 feet.
I put 2 targets on the rack at 10 feet.
10 Feet - RightTarget
10 Feet - Left Target
As you can see, with both of these, i was firing up and to the right a bit. The more i slowed down and tried to compensate, the more it happened. I had alot more luck when i fired through all 10 rounds in the magazine in succession.
Second Distance = 20 Feet
20 Feet - Right Target
20 Feet - Left Target
Third Distance - 30 Feet
30 Feet - Single Target
At thirty feet, all bets were off...i havent shot that much, and at that range, my accuracy was pretty poor. I guess ill have to work on that.
Ill probably be going again tomorrow or saturday. Then taking oyer on sunday. Gonna be good times.

Something to do if you are bored
Ever Google yourself? Youd be suprised what will show up. My ex roommate max and i would use google image search to see what kind of messed up pictures would show up if we googled our names. The first time i did this...one of the site that it threw up was "Naked Pictures of Lyle Waggoner"
