I was enjoying the cartoon, but had not noticed until someone commented on it.
He's got a spotter. Cat in the window.

That sounds greatly like a Jewish joke to me. I can hear it in my head being told with a New York Russian Jewish accent.
Me personally, if I was an old man and a young man asked me those questions, I would not have responded because he did not say SIR.
I mean, really. How difficult is that? "Excuse me sir, do you know what time it is?"
He spoke to him three times - a man old enough to be his father apparently - and not once did he call him sir.
I wouldn't talk to that rude bastage either.

six loaded mags, one in the gun and four more in two belt pouches.
No offense, 40, and I know how it is when people get old and the mind's not working real good.
But "one in the gun and four more in two belt pouches" equals FIVE, not SIX.

Does anyone have solar, and have the panels just mounted on a board in the backyard?
Everybody that gets solar power seems to have the panels mounted on the roof.
I figure after coming 93 million miles, going another 10 feet down to the ground is not going to lose so much energy. And building a framework to hold solar panels seems like it would be much easier, and much safer, then crawling around on slippery shingles.
I understand that it would take up a lot of yard, but if you don't have children playing in your backyard why would that matter?

"All these others are crowding all around me yelling "Save me! Save me!" and I can't get it out of my pocket.
It's amazing. It truly is. People that don't want anything to do with guns, and then something happens and they know you have one, and they are all over you to take care of them.
I went with a friend of mine to Delchamps one day. They had a Western Union in the front of the store, and he was going to wire some money. As we are leaving he told me how comfortable he felt, standing there with that $700 in cash in his pocket, "knowing that you were standing there with your Hand Cannon". And I thought about how I had known him since high school, and I liked him, and if someone walked up to him and stuck a knife in his ribs and said GIVE ME ALL YOUR MONEY, I would have stood there and watched.
I had a co-worker one time. We're all sitting around in the break room and somehow the conversation ended up on the end of the world. And he says, "When the race war starts, I'm going to Alpo's house".
I told him that if he showed up at my front door, I would shoot him off the porch, and drag his dead body out into the street, pour encourager les autres.
Rick didn't talk to me for about 2 months after that.-

Also, you take your bath Saturday night, so you're clean for Sunday morning church.
Taking your bath Saturday morning, and then working and sweating all Saturday day sort of defeats the purpose of getting clean for church.

That would depend on what year it was. When the king of scandahoovia converted to Christianity, he told all of his subjects they were now Christians.
But if they were Christians, and were taking a Saturday night bath to get ready for Sunday church, then that whole "the way you look when you die is the way you're going to look forever in Valhalla" thing no longer applies. Because Christians don't believe in Valhalla. They don't believe in Odin and Thor and Loki.

Couple thoughts on that video.
There was no such people as "the Vikings". They were the Norsemen. "Viking" was going off on a raid. They would go Viking.
The question I wondered about though, and he did not answer it although he danced around it a lot, was why did they bathe on Saturday?
Not why did they bathe weekly. Why did they bathe on SATURDAY?
Traditionally, the poor people here in this country (traditionally Christian) would take that Saturday night bath so they would be clean for church on Sunday.
Did the Norsemen go to church on Sunday? Was that why they all bathed on Saturday?
And if that was not the reason, WHY did they all bathe on Saturday?

Bought that 642. 2-3 years later the day after Christmas I go in my gun pusher's. Man in there has a brand new 642-2 Ladysmith. He had bought it for his wife for Christmas and she did not like it and he wanted to return it.
My pusher explain to him that you cannot return guns. It don't work that way. He said he would buy it back, but because it was now a used gun he would not even pay as much as he would pay for a new gun, and would certainly not pay as much as the man did. He quoted a price that was $25 less than sports South wanted for a brand new one.
The man was pissed, but he took the money and he left. I walked over and said, "how much?"
He quoted me a price of $50 over what he had just paid for it. And I pull out money.
I was buying it for my daughter for Christmas, but unlike that man that he just left, if she didn't like it I would have been quite happy - back up. Ladysmith inscribed on the side would not have bothered me in the least.
Unfortunately for me she said, "oh, thank you Daddy!", so I still only have the one.
This bodyguard is the closest I have to a backup. Sometimes it's in the other pocket.

Smith & Wesson 642-2.
I'm not really sure if it qualifies as my favorite carry gun, but it definitely qualifies as my always carry gun. I might have something else, but I got this.

If you can't do it to voting why can you do it to Arms?
They used to have something called a poll tax. You had to pay to vote.
They decided that was unconstitutional. Having to pay to exercise a right? Besides, many many poor black people could not afford to pay the poll tax, so they could not vote (well yeah, that was the purpose of the poll tax). So they did away with the poll tax. Shouting loudly when they did so YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY TO EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT!!!!
And I thought that they were correct. You should not have to pay. So why was it that I had to pay to get a license to carry a gun - which is my right.

Leave us say that you are in your 90s and had decided to give all of your great-grandchildren what they need to start cowboy.
Would you buy all 35 of them a pair of Vaqueros in 357 and a Stoeger Uplander and a Rossi 92?
Or would you ask if they would like 357 or maybe they would like 45? If they would like Vaqueros or if they would like Blackhawks?
Since you are giving them a gift, would you try to find out what they would like?
There was a movie, back in the 30s. Mr Deeds Goes To Town. This rich guy drives off the road and kills himself, and all of his money gets left to his sole relative - Gary Cooper - who lives in a small town out in the middle of nowhere. Pretty good slapstick/romantic comedy.
Then in the 90s, I believe, or maybe the early 2000s, they remade it. Adam Sandler is the guy that inherits all the money this time. Not as good.
But at the end of this one when they're running ending credits we're back in the small town that he came from, and every car visible is a brand new red Corvette. Apparently Mr Deeds bought a Corvette for everyone in town. Red. Identical.
That should be fun in the parking lot at Walmart.
But I was just thinking about that and if somebody wanted to give me a brand new automobile, I would not want a Corvette. And if I did want a Corvette I don't think I would want a red one. It just seems like he should have asked what they would like. He's a multi-billionaire and he's going to give these away, why not find out what they would like instead of just ordering 507 identical cars?-

Solar Power

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
I just checked my current bill. 14.3 cents kilowatt hour.
