Party in the Jungle!!!

It's my 21st birthday! Wheee! That makes two consecutive B-days celebrated in Iraq.

In other news, I didn't die in a helicopter crash this week. So rest easy knowing that Jungle Japes is still patrolling the skies of Iraq, fighting for oil... I mean... Freedom and Democracy for the Iraqi People!!!

 

Guess what! This means two TA members have their birthdays friday!
Wolfsbane made it to 18 yesterday^^
And no, he did not drink any alcohol

 

I hear liquor is in short supply over there. Pray you get to stop in Ireland on the way back, last deployment Fish (and everyone else) got to drink during a layover, and spent the rest of the plane trip in a boozy haze.

 

This Irish Mist - Is that a whiskey?

 

I don't drink, but I would like to be able to carry a gun in the States.

 

Over 21?
I'm getting my concealed weapon permit by next year. I'm old enough now, but paying for car insurance and college is more important to me than popping caps in some belligerent fuck's ass.

 

Oh, I don't intend to conceal my weapon. I'm gonna wear it loudly and proudly on my belt, and if people have a problem with it, they can kiss my ass. After all, it's nice to know that when trouble arises you can deal with it violently, but it's better to know that you won't have any trouble because other people know you are ready to bust a cap in their ass.

Look at the Virginia Tech shooting, a fine example of why gun-free zones are a self-defeating concept. To the crazed gunman, a gun-free zone says, "Hey, nobody else here has a gun!" If any of the other students had a gun and a pair of balls, it would have been a lot less bloody.

 

Guns. In a school. Aham.

That says all.

 

Guns don't kill people. People kill people.

 

With guns.

 

it still comes down to people killing people. guns are the weapon of choice because they're easy to get, but if you really want to kill someone, the lack of a gun is not going to stop you. it'll merely force you to be creative.

 

I'm eager to see someone going on rampage with a kitchen knife.

 

Go to Little Rock, Arkansas and look up a woman name Elsie Marvelle.
Tell her Bryan was right.*
You'll get your rampage. Trust me.

* I put my thieving brother-in-law in the hospital for a few days.

 

They used to do it all the time over here (well with axes and machetes), because we've been decreasing the psychiatric budgets. Now I think we've fixed it, but I'm not sure.

The thing is that they usually don't kill more than at most an old or crippled person.

 

Personally, I think that guns are for girls.

On a totally unrelated note, happy birthday, JJ!

 

Happy birthday Japes.

You can go on a rampage with anything. Getting shot or stabbed or hit by a car/fire extinguisher poses a problem to the longevity of said rampage, but you can begin one even unarmed. Body counts are somewhat like scores, just because you're using a melee weapon doesn't mean you can't make it onto the top ten.
