This almost makes metric football seem exciting. And, is it just me, or do you think the snake with the cigarette dangling out of its mouth is supposed to be a Frenchman?
Also, how long can you play this thing continuously before it gets tiresome? For me, it’s more than fifteen minutes at least.

June 12th Range Report
I’m kinda embarrassed to post this one, but maybe embarrassment will help me strive to do better.
First off, let me just explain that I tried to apply some paint to the sights on my .45 since they’re black and hard to see in low light. Apparently I did so poorly, as that could only be the explanation for these (NOTE: for all targets, three magazines were emptied into them):

Oy. Anyway, next I went to my little Ket-Tec. Going from single action only to double action only, my first shot went wild. Also, I still had some jamming, but always on the final round (the casing of the second to last round wouldn’t get fully ejected). Other than that, it was great to fire, and I ended up firing it pretty rapidly. Also, I loaded the six round clip magazine, chambered a round, and then replaced the round in the magazine for seven shots.

Next is my Walther PPK/S after being looked at by a gunsmith. No jamming this time, but the first double action shot sometimes had problems, not firing the bullet and requiring a second trigger pull. No problem with single action, though. Since this is my back-up gun, I also practiced with my off-hand.

Finally, I fired my Walther P99 which I hadn’t taken to the range in sometime. I used those emasculated 10 round magazines (I wish I could get some 16 round magazines for it). I also fired it left-handed since I have a new holster where I could use it as a backup gun. The first shot of each magazine was double-action like with the PPK.

Finally, I got my holster from Graham’s Leather, the backpocket cookie for my Kel-Tec. Now, anytime I want to carry I can just put this in my backpocket. I can’t wait until I get mugged!
Meep Meep
I now have RoadRunner as an advertiser. As anyone who has gotten an e-mail may have notice (and sorry for getting so behind on responding), I am a RoadRunner user myself. I’ve had other cable modem services before, and they tended to drop out all the time. I can’t recall my RoadRunner service going out even once. So, if you’re thinking of moving out of the Stone Age and giving up your dial up service, check out RoadRunner.
Also, check out all my other advertisers. If not, then you are a thief for reading my webpage, and I hate thieves…
Ronin Thought of the Day
For Honor and the Gipper
Since I’m always so busy Monday night, I’ve decided to make Tuesday “Entertain Your Own Damn Selves Day” (though I do plan on having some more posts later today).
Today, the topic of discussion is how to properly keep Reagan’s memory alive and continue the fight for honor in his name. People may act like they all liked Reagan now, but remember they hated him even worse than Bush back in the day. While idiots now worry that Bush willmake allies angry at us, the muckadoos back in the 80’s were convinced Reagan was going to start a nuclear holocaust killing us all. His enemies and the enemies of America were and still are many, so it is up to us to fight.
First off, I have some new logos. Some people didn’t like anything over the flag, so here is a new simple banner for an American Ronin:
Note to International Readers: You don’t have to live in America be an American Ronin; you just have to fight for the true American principles of liberty and the destruction of evil.
Tom Hoyt also made some banners:
Banner 1
Banner 2
Banner 3
Banner 4
Banner 5
I’ll let him explain them. For 1-3:
6-5Ronin = Reagan died on 6/5, and 6-5 Ronin has a good ring to it in Japanese (not to mention the slightly frightening image of a 6′ 5″
ronin). On the right is the date, center is “ronin,” on the left the motto from the USS Reagan, “Peace Through Strength” and then “Reagan group,” though group in Japanese is used for anything from a kindergarten class to a warrior unit or mafia gang.
Banner 4:
Just has 6/5 in the background and ronin in the foreground; I should have picked a different color for the date
Banner 5:
Has 6 / 5 and ronin on it; I liked the juxtaposition of Japanese with Arabic numerals
As we settle on a banner, I hope to make a page specifying what to do to be one of Reagan’s Ronin. I had a first draft at a list already, but I need more ideas on how to actively fight for the principles of liberty in Reagan’s name. When I have all the requirements down for being an American Ronin, then I’ll make a page devoted exclusively to this.
First off, all should have a shrine to Master Ronin so that you may reflect on your duties daily. This shrine shall consist of a bowl of jellybeans (preferably Jelly Belly). It is permissible and encouraged to eat these jellybeans when reflect on your duties to freedom and the fight against evil, but the bowl should never go empty.
Also, one should be knowledgeable in the works of Master Reagan to defend him from slander. You can let no unkind words of Reagan go unchallenged.
Foremost, you must do something every day to fight for freedom and keep the American spirit alive.
Now, your assignment for today is to come up with some activities we can all do to keep Master Reagan’s legacy alive and fight those who wish to weaken our resolve. Also, what are a good list of books and articles so we can educate ourselves on Master Reagan? Please put these in the comment section and continue your day with honor.
UPDATE: Also, what would be a good slogan or battle cry (and no one say, “Spooooon!”)?
