Short post today, still dealing with finals. Had a sample final due last night (final final due next Sunday… after the semester ends… thank you, Mr. “I can’t figure out due dates*”), and more through this week.
1- Finally had a failure with my Mossberg 702. With a Remington Golden bullet. Curse you, Tam, for jinxing me! This is the first RGB I’ve had fail. Meanwhile, the high-end CBee has been nothing but trouble. My Mossberg’s like me– it likes to eat simple, hardy and cheap.
2- MikeB’s at it again. At this point, the only use MikeB and the rest of his little playgroup have is that every time they begin spewing their crap, gun bloggers show up to correct them… which leads to me finding new gun bloggers. Thanks, Sparky!**
3-If you aren’t already, watch Justified. I hope this one doesn’t get killed off…
* His name is Mr. (prophet we’re not supposed to draw) (honorific of Umar) (religion of peace). No, I’m not making that up.
** I wonder why Sparky and the rest don’t ever mess with Tam? Hmm…

Dixie,
Sparky — tried — his shenanigans on Tam, Roberta X, and Breda to name a few.
They slapped him down so hard and fast that his grandchildren will be born with their ears ringing.
The main reason, in my opinion, that he doesn’t keep trying is none of the usual accusations/ad hominen attacks work well. Without those, he has no argument.

I know Breda did, but can I get links to Tam’s and Roberta’s? I wanna see the fireworks! (chuckle)

He’s messed with tam, but not much. I don’t think she pays him much mind, so he lost interest in her.
He did mess with Breda enugh for her to ban his ass. And Breda was essentially my inspiration to eventually ban him from my blog.
Overall I think Mikeb’s made a try at just about every major gun blogger, and he’ll eventually get around to smaller ones, if you let him.
My advise, don’t.

… if you let him.
I didn’t. (chuckle) It took him all of 9 days to find me– left a few snarky comments, which I ignored. Trolls are like hummingbirds– they make a lot of noise, but they need constant feeding.

Dixie,
here is one
I am not going to bother answering any comments you make here. If you want to piss in the wind, that’s your account….
Frankly Mike, you’re simply unqualified to discuss the subject. You’re going to get as much interaction from me as you’d get from a neurologist were you to walk into his office and propound your theories of Why Nerves Are Bad…

Damn, that was awesome. “Have a nice day! (Elsewhere.)” Excuse me, gotta go laugh.
