Meet your future occupiers

When the Wingnuts begin firing off their high-powered assault rifles and declare the beginning of Civil War II these nice folks will be there to greet you with either a bullet (if you don’t look like them) or a cheery gift-basket full of MRE rations, Confederate flags, and Bibles (maybe some tea bags too).

Yup, if you can’t read their banner this is a photo of those brave souls in the Texas branch of The Well Regulated Militia (http://militias.ning.com), or atleast the members that were brave enough to meet other internet militia folks in middle-of-nowhere Texas. The Regulator (Oath Keeper), who keeps popping up on Resistnet and Militia.Ning, posted this proud photo so I assume that’s him standing in the middle with the .44 that would make Charles Bronson run in the other direction. Let’s see who else we got here…

This pictures almost reads like the High School A/V Club’s yearbook photo (except with a lot more guns and illegitimate children). Looks like all the members of The Texas Well Regulated Militia made it out for this photo op though. We’ve got:

The young kid who got dragged to this boring dumb thing by his lame dad

The shotgun wedding couple who decided to bring their 2 year old along so he could play with all the pretty firearms

Some pudgy porker guy whose weapon of choice appears to be a baseball bat or plank of wood

A creepy Sam Elliott look alike who prefers to bludgeon people with guns rather than shoot them

One of the GEICO cavemen (or what I assume is Sam Elliott’s wife)

The token Vietnam vet who prefers historic rifles

The fat goony looking fellow with an AK-47 (Jorts do not provide good camouflage buddy!)

What I can only assume is fat goony guy’s hot sister

Butchy McButcherson (the token closet lesbian of the group)

and some poor old guy who they found sleeping at the bus station (and who continues to sleep while his picture is taken, at least they propped a rifle up against him).

Not pictured: the crystal meth lab

This cheery fellow is apparently part of the group too but I guess he didn’t fit into the photo with his huge gun and all. The following text was included along with the pictures:

The Pentagon announced TODAY the formation of a new 500-man elite fighting unit called the United States Redneck Special Forces (USRSF)
Do YOU recognize any of these people?

These Texas boys & ladies will be dropped off into Iraq and have been given only the following facts about terrorists :

1. The season opened today.
2. There is no limit.
3. They taste just like chicken fried steak.
4. They don’t like beer, pickups, country music or Jesus.
5. They are directly responsible for the death of Dale Earnhardt.

The Pentagon expects the problem in Iraq to be over by Friday.

American Gladiators – The Movie

Are you serious? I am serious!

Johnny Ferraro, creator of the “American Gladiators” TV franchise, is bringing a live-action adaptation of the property to the bigscreen.

The film will be based on the TV show that first aired in 1988 and has been on the air every year except one during the past 20 years. Most recently, NBC aired a primetime installment in 2008. The show has aired in more than 90 countries, with the format adapted for the local market in 14 of them.

Former Legendary Pictures chief marketing officer Scott Mednick is producing “American Gladiators.” The goal is to create an action story that takes place inside the world Ferraro has created.

“I look forward to creating a compelling story that launches a whole new set of characters,” Mednick said.

The Story of Early America

It was a nice day as we strolled into the Goodwill store. It isn’t a real Goodwill store, but some other charity whose name I cannot recall. In the window is a sign about how everything is 50% off today, the sign is up 365 days a year. After rummaging though the toy bins for anything eBayable (scored a Transformer from 2001) I went over to the books like I always do on the lookout for goofy crap. Best in Children’s Books caught my eye, because there were several volumes and it looked old enough that my mom used it in school. I was right, the copyright date inside was from the 1950s, and it reprinted stuff from even earlier. One such story is our focus today, because it is always fun to see how things were like in the olden days. I’ve scanned in some of the paragraphs of The Story of Early America that would not make it into classes in this day and age, for good reason.

This is one of those books you had in school that was made up of other, smaller books. Sort of like the Bible! These rest of the stories are not entertaining, we are only concerned about The Story of Early America.

Copyright 1937! We’ll find out what grandpa learned about America just before he had to go kill Hitler!

Stupid people are stupid. What of it?

Europeans will conquer anything, and check out those naked red men run!

The story of savages

The book waxes philosophical about civilization all of a sudden!

Let’s get us some jungle Negroes!

Don’t blame the English for killing the Indians, they were just homesick

image0017.jpg
Jungle Negroes need to go to college to work in factories

Washington and Jefferson did not approve of slavery (yet the book fails to mention they owned them…)
And didn’t anyone tell the writer the the civil war wasn’t about slavery, it was about “State’s rights”? (the right to own slaves, that is!)

He was out of his, going out of his mind, how could he ever be so blind?

That’s it as the Story of Early America ends at Lincoln’s death. The rest of the book is not interesting, except for this interesting picture in the Kipling story:

Yes, that is a mandrill spanking a short-nosed Elephant.

That’s if for now, unless I find another crazy ancient book for $1 at the thrift store! With today’s economy, it might just happen.

It’s Asphalt-lickin’ Good!

Sign of the times…

The folks at KFC recently cooked up an appetizing offer for cash-strapped cities: The restaurant chain will fix crater-ridden streets for free if they’re allowed to brand repairs with a chalked-on message saying that the road has been “Re-Freshed by KFC.”

Company president Roger Eaton put the deal on the table last week in an open letter to America’s mayors. KFC intends to select four towns to receive “a smooth drive that is fit for a colonel.”

KFC started the project in its hometown of Louisville, Ky., to market its “Fresh Tastes Best” campaign.

Just wait until the McGarbage Trucks appear!

They have also approached Chicago about this
