  • It’s that in black. That Colt is going to feel much better, though.

    Northeast Texas. I’ve got a buddy up there with some land and we have to go clear them out a couple of times a year. They tear up everything. He lost a dog to them a few years ago and now we go out there like clockwork instead of waiting for them to get closer to the house.


  • I have a Hi-Point .45 pistol and that pretty accurately describes it (the weight is fine but the balance is weird and makes it feel terrible).

    I use it as a close range backup when I’m hog hunting. I’ve only had to use it once and it worked just fine. It literally saved me from being at least maimed and possibly dead but I still hate it. And I’ll keep using it until it stops working, which may be the apocalypse.


  • If you enjoyed this fun fact, start reading The Laundry Files by Charles Stross. Once you get to book 4 come back here and thank me. Tongue eating isopods from beyond the stars play a role there, and appear briefly later in one of his New Management books, although I don’t have the page handy so I’m not sure which one.

    Their nastier cousins make an appearance later in the Laundry Files, but I’ll leave what they do a mystery.

    If you like making fun of quiverfull ministries, programming, Eldritch horrors, British humor (humour?), spy thrillers, agitated engineers, vampires that don’t exist, bloodthirsty elves, and a thinly veiled story about anthropomorphic climate change then this is the series for you.









  • It’s only unpopular because you’re doing it to get them to vote for me. They all know I’m no good.

    On an unrelated note, what are you doing up so late? I’m only up because I’m about to head to SA. My buddy has an extra Saturday ticket to Space Con and I’m going to drunkenly and shamelessly flirt with Kate Mulgrew since I don’t think Eugene Cordero or George Takei will be there.








  • I tend to like pop metal the same way I like pop punk. It’s not going to make me feel anything but it’s catchy. It’s good for working out or working on the motorcycle and similar things where I want a driving background but don’t want to get way into it.

    That being said, the kind of people who listen to FFDP put me off of their music. It’s like that’s the first metal they ever heard then decided to make it their whole personality.
