Let’s take it down a notch and have a little fun this week. This… is Carnik Con.
Carnik con is what you would get if you took Homestar Runner, added a class 3 FFL, and served it on top of some Monty Python. It is hands down the absolute funniest and most awesome gun related youtube channel, probably of all time. Carnik con was created by Dugan Ashley, who also starred in, directed, and edited the videos as well. It launched in 2013 and quickly gained popularity in the circles of the ballistically inclined for its humor, slick production quality, and fuckton of awesome guns. What’s notable is the sheer variety of different types of content produced. There’s general gun knowledge:
Insightful firearms reviews:
Tactical training for operators:
Historical Content:
And of course, the musical smash hit ‘Hold an AK’, whose single went triple platinum mere days after release.
Sadly, we will never realize the full potential of this bold visionary. Dugan ended the Carnik con program near the end of March 2015, which I have determined to be the cruelest and most effective April fools prank in history. Thankfully the videos are still up, and despite the last video airing almost 2 years ago it still has over 100,000 subscribers.
Just when it seems darkest, however, a light appears on the horizon. The torch may have been passed to a new generation. Allow me to introduce Firepower United, starring Phuc Long:
Marvel at his tactical skills:
Gaze in awe at his mastery of common vernacular:
Be dazzled by his historical knowledge:
Phuc’s videos lack the polish and finesse of his sweater clad predecessor, but I find his videos wildly entertaining nonetheless. Needless to say, I recommend you check out both channels.
I’ve never been a gun guy. No thrill or interest in them. But I always strangely found the sound of a .50 cal firing a full blast strangely soothing.
For some reason your avatar goes very well with this statement.
Everyone should get some butterfly trigger time at some point.
I was at the range a few years back with a buddy. Outdoors. Parking Lot is a decent distance from range. Guy shows up with a .50 BMG and shoots it and it sets off somebody’s car alarm. He was trying to sell it. Guess he didn’t like paying $5 a bullet. He didn’t shoot more than a handful of rounds and he never hit his target once even at close range.
Either everyone is out getting drunk or this week’s post was not well received.
Hey, I’m staying in and getting drunk! Also, good post.
I wish I were getting drunk, but no, work frowns on that.
Au contraire! The Mr Hayeksplosives and I plan to watch it together after the appeal of a 75 degree evening with breeze before promised rain for the rest of the weekend gives out. So, after dark. Maybe as foreplay? Who knows…
I am on vacation. You expect me to be on time?
Friday evenings are a tough slot. It’s part of the reason I was so willing to hand it off. It picks up once everyone gets home from work and cracks a beer though.
I’m going to test run a White Russian. I linked your recipe, but the fellas I drink with can be purists. *shrug*
They’re tasty as long as you aren’t drinking with anyone who gets weird about dairy+booze. I have a few friends with that hangup.
Recipe:
Buy beer
Open beer
Drink beer
That’s my kind of recipe.
Some of us don’t care for carbonated beverages.
Buy whiskey
Open whiskey
Drink whiskey
Pomp has it right. Seriously, this can’t be hard – even from someone from Albany.
I’m from the Catskills, not Albany. And the last time I tried Scotch, it had a mediciney taste. I prefer vodka.
I don’t understand how you can like to cook and not enjoy making/drinking cocktails.
Two entirely different animals, cooking is involved, you taste, adjust, watch, listen, smell and react, also large knives and fire. mixing drinks is like chem lab 101, measure, pour, shake – something you let women handle while the men are doing the real work. Mixing drinks and baking have a lot in common now that I think about it.
I drink beer while I cook. It’s not rocket surgery.
I’m kinda with Brochettaward on this one. I own a Glock 13 because you never know, but outside of knowing how to clean and operate it, I generally have little interest in firearms. And yes, I’m a horrible shot.
Glock… 13?
either you typoed or you have some rare shit.
I have a Glock 99
Does it shoot through schools?
My father made fun of me once. Once!
This shoots through armor…through the wall…through a tree outside…
Shit. Sorry dude, using local spec. 13 rounder. Gen….fuck. I’d have to dig it out of the closet. Hold on….
Um…guys…I can’t find my fucking gun.
This is bad.
…. That escalated quickly.
Don’t worry. Your kid likely took it to school.
Oh man… that was harsh.
Gawddamn funny. Thank you.
Maybe he meant Glock 23 which correct me if I’m wrong has a 13 round magazine. My fist gun was a Glock 17 thought it was great until I got an H&K 45 and realized it kicked less than my Glock.
First gun* a fist gun would be pretty cool too.

My first gun was a Marlin 60. First hand gun was a S&W model 14 in .38 special.
Was it a blued Marlin?
Actually, yes.
(Don’t mean to step on the joke, but it’s true)
I have a G21 .45 and a G22 and G23 .40. Something about shooting the .40 I don’t like. It seems snappy. I can handle recoil, I shoot +Ps out of my quite small .45 Officers Special. I just don’t like how my trigger finger feels when I shoot the .40. Might have to rent a different model .40 to see if it’s just a Glock thing. Their triggers are weird anyways. Doesn’t keep me from having that 22 with 15 rounds of .40 and a light next to my bed though:)
I’ve never had a problem with the Glock trigger. It’s a hair trigger in comparison to my wife’s Ruger. My issue with the Glock is the accuracy.
I’ve never had a problem with accuracy from any of mine.
I just got a Sig P320 carry with the night sights a few months ago, and that baby is sweet. The fact that I had ordered in right before the military signed the contract to replace that shitty Barreta with it apparently drove up wait time. I had to wait because I wanted the night sights. I bought the thing for $488. When I picked mine up on a Monday afternoon some 4 months after, they were priced at something like $772, and the clerk told me that by the weekend it would be up another $100 because their waiting list was now somewhat like 9 months and growing so fast the vendor could not keep up.
Shoots nice, easy to clean, and reliable. Love it.
Wow that’s a great deal. I didn’t know Sig sold anything under 500. I’ve had me eye on the 227 for a while now. I was originally looking at the full size equinox but I’m start to lean toward that SAS gen 2 carry.
So much this. My used P229 was just over 5, and that was 12 or so years ago. One of the best guns I’ve ever owned, and have yet to find anyone who tries it and doesn’t love it.
Saving it for later and alone.
Getting drunk
WTF, Vhyrus? You didn’t expect libertarians to be getting drunk on Friday night? I myself, loved your post. The P90 and P320 were both awesome.
I am kind of late, but you put up what? 25 videos to watch. I only watched a couple while I am getting started on a beer. I will revisit the videos.
I have an ammunition question. Do they still make .22 short? I planted a garden last week, and I saw a prairie dog sniffing close to it today. The disease infested vermin will be having a short life it gets close to my green chili’s again. But to shoot the bastard, I wanted to get shorts as I have a rifle I was given as a kid that can accept those, and I figured that would be the best ammunition to kill vermin with in a semi-populated area. Granted my neighbor shoots all kinds of big bore rifles at Tannerite filled objects, but I am not my neighbor.
Yes. I use to get mine at Midway USA.
https://www.midwayusa.com/22-short/br?cid=10015
Ok, good to know. Thanks. The guy in line with me at Walmart, (ya it is the store here) said he had not seen them in 20 years, and the clerk had never seen them ever carried. I thought they quite making them or something. I will look next time I am in the big city.
I have a bolt action .22 that can use .22 short. I use it to introduce people to shooting because there is zero recoil and almost no noise.
psh, I only put up 10.
10…..25 same thing. Seriously though, funny stuff. Thanks for the links.
Headed to a 3-gun match in the morning. Trying to sack out early.
Your post is good Vhyrus. I missed it because it was wifey time. Cooked for her and laid on the couch watching TV….her show that I cant even remember.
Gun related question: What the hell happened to the Hearing Protection Act or whatever it was called the Republicans pretended to be so keen on passing? I want a goddamn suppressor but I ain’t shelling out 200 bucks for a tax stamp, no fucking way.
Down the same hole and National Reciprocity. The stupid party can’t EVER get shit done. Even when they have all the fucking cards.
It’s really dead? God, they’re absolutely worthless.
That’s a fucking understatement.
God dammit.
Short answer is that all this Russia bullshit and the healthcare bill is preventing anything else from getting done.
There were some places that were offering to pay the tax for you if you bought a can, but you still have to do the paperwork and wait a year.
It’s been a while since I checked, but you still need the OK of the local PoPo right? That ain’t happening in this shit-hole. No suppressor, no SBR, no Sawed-off, no nothing. Fuck the statists right in the neck.
They got rid of the CLEO sign off last year I believe.
Double checked, yes it’s gone. You have to submit prints for everyone on the trust but no more CLEO signature needed.
I think the local police are required to sign off if you’re eligible in some locations but, yeah, I’d imagine Philly isn’t one of those.
Whoops, I stand corrected.
I don’t think NFA stuff would be a problem in Philly, state gun law supersedes local in PA. Go to a reputable Class III dealer and they’ll submit or help you submit all the paperwork. It might take longer than in the rest of the state though.
Some ranges even let you have conjugal visits with your gun/suppressor while it’s in “NFA jail.”
Except concealed carry, right? Isn’t Philly the “1st class city” in the state exemption?
PA is still shall-issue, and they have to issue within 45 days. Philly interprets that as 45 business days, and they allegedly won’t tell you over the phone if your license is ready, so you might have to show up personally to nag them once in a while. All told, you’ll probably get it in closer to something like 2-3 months.
The bullshit “1st class thing” just means you can’t open carry without a license to carry a firearm inside the city. Of course, if you open carry even with a ltcf in Philly, wear knee pads.
Thanks.
Thinking about moving back to PA eventually, probably not in Philly again though.
Looking at what I need to lobby for to make PA more like IN (or MT or SD, or other free states).
In most of the rest of the state it takes about 20 minutes if you’re a regular American citizen, and the license is good for 5 years I believe.
Because of PA’s draconic handgun transportation laws, it’s worth it to get a license just so transporting/carrying a handgun within the state doesn’t become an issue. The form lists your purposes for getting the license, I don’t know if some stated purposes will restrict your ability to transport/carry more than others.
My sister got her 5 year license in PA.
In IN, I have a lifetime LTCH (fofeited if I move out, I believe).
IMHO, 2A does not require periodic re-up.
PA is relatively free when it comes to firearms, somewhere in the middle of the index I’d say. It can certainly be improved though:
Open carry restrictions in Philly
Extra “sales” forms for handguns that go to the state police
No face-to-face private sales of handguns, NICS required
Not legal to transport your handgun without a license
Of course many more improvements could be had, like constitutional carry and the ability to buy without NICS if you have a license.
Yeah, there are a lot of improvements that could be done to be compliant with the natural rights idea of the Constitution. But one step at a time I guess.
Yup. That’s what I’m talkin about. If you start examining the PA restrictions vs oh, idunno, Montana or Indiana, starts looking restrictive. I know, not as restrictive as bordering states (I’m looking at YOU, NY) but still…
Agreed. Fuck ’em straight to hell.
Well, I’m sure that’s factored into the cost of the can itself.
Still probably cheaper than what they will be if that passes. I think you’ll see prices go up do to demand until production ramps up.
Probably not home from getting drunk yet. These vids are funny as hell. I want a P90 now. Fuck the ATF, fuck ’em in the neck. Living in Philly there is no way I am getting a class III.
5.7 really is a great cartridge, I just wish more people produced it. Or you know, anything that would chamber it.
Eh, it works pretty well for the niche it was designed for, but it doesn’t have much use outside of that. Since most people have little use for a PDW, there isn’t much demand for weapons in the cartridge.
Yeah, I bought the pistol. 20 rnd mag. Pretty nice to shoot. But…the novelty wore off pretty quick. And the ammo is hard to find in the city.
I will probably own a PS90 eventually, unless they stop making them before I can get around to buying one.
Move out of philly.
Bucks and Montco are nfa friendly.
I love PA. It is a firearm friendly state overall.
Seriously, there isn’t much reason to live in Philadelphia proper. I mean, I do, but that was due to the circumstances that I moved under. Of course, all my guns just stayed back in Susquehanna county and I shoot whenever I come back, so it isn’t too bad. But I’ll be out of the city as soon as my lease ends.
You’ll never get a P90, at least not until the Hughes Amendment or the entire NFA gets repealed.
Get a PS90, and if you really want that short barrel, getting it SBR’ed should not be a problem as far as I can tell. It doesn’t look like your local police has to be involved at all any more?
Personally I’m not begging for permission, so I’ll just live without. Hopefully the HPA will pass eventually if enough of us whine often enough about it.
A little-remarked-upon detail = The Supreme Being of the CarniK Con universe was Ryan Gosling
or “RG” as he was referred to in the videos.
Yes, rumor has it that RG shows up in every episode of CKC, much like Superman in Seinfeld.
Except this one
He appeared in many videos, although sometimes it was easily overlooked
Finally, something good out of Canada.
That first guy is basically what I imagine 80% of the Glibertarian audience looks like.
I am pretty close. Less hair on head, more on body. Getting old is gross. And most of my hair is grey now. i look like a freakin silverback gorilla.
There is someone out there that likes that sort of stuff.
Not there yet, but I am working on it. Not sure I can grow that much hair in my cleavage though.
Phuc Long? Really? Don’t tell me his full name is Phuc L. Time.
His real name is Calvin, but that takes the fun right out of everything doesn’t it?
Yeah, if he calves it in, it’s no use to anyone.
Fuck. that spelling ruined whatever small humor was there. I’m going underground.
When Carnik Con ended, the rumor on many gun forums was that the man who portrays Dugan Ashley was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
Dugan is a real guy and that’s his real name, and yes my understanding is he was diagnosed with MS, but I listened to an interview recorded about a year ago and does not mention that as a driving force behind the channel’s cancellation. Also I found out that Dugan and Phuc are both regularly on primaryandsecondary.com for their podcasts.
So Florida passed HB7069, which, among other things, gives money to charter schools and actually holds failing public schools responsible for their own idiocy.
Of course, this makes Democrats — and a lot of Republicans — furious.
So they came back to Tallahassee for a special session where, among other things, they spent even more money on public schools ($215 million or so), because money is the problem here.
And Governor Scott, who has no right to call himself a Republican, might still veto it.
The public schools have had a full-on onslaught against the bill. One charter school gave their kids extra credit for writing letters supporting the bill. Guess which one was awful, according to the media? (Fun fact: One time in 8th grade when I had detention we weren’t allowed to leave until we called the Governor’s office to tell him not to cut education funding)
One time in 8th grade when I had detention we weren’t allowed to leave until we called the Governor’s office to tell him not to cut education funding
American public schools are freaking weird.
I went to public schools (and Ontario’s a little weird because we have public funded religious schools) and never dealt with the politicization you guys talk about. I don’t care for public schools because they’re bad schools, but crap like that would’ve pushed me over a lot sooner.
This did not happen to me when I was in school, and I am not that old.
My wife told me in Orange County School system “event planner” is a job. Let that sink in. Also, nepotism and racial based hiring is the norm here. I’m so happy I don’t have kids.
This is how you create libertarians.
Ayup…
I had an initial shudder from that Carnik Con logo because I thought the main pistol “head” was a camera.
Some kinda weaponized robot.
Then I saw it was a gun and everything was OK again.
I mentioned this last week, but I’m still stoked – bought a PPS M2 LE from the LGS for $315 after discount and rebate. Haven’t taken it to the range yet but I love the grip on that puppy. Mildly annoyed that Walther got rid of the lever magazine release and a little uncertain about the semi-reversible magazines.
I am a huge walther fanboy, although I bought and then sold my PPS. Didn’t much care for it. The reversible catch is solid, though. I have one on my PPQ 45.
Sorry, not the release itself but the fact that you can slide the magazine on the M2 in backwards like so http://truthaboutguns-zippykid.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/IMG_6425-675×900.jpg
….. never managed to do that. I’ll have to try it with some of my guns when I get home.
That’s a nice price for a decent gun. However, my pps (gen 1) has a much nicer feeling trigger than a coworkers new M2.
What, PPS owner and Doctor Who avatar? GTFO!
Tom Baker is my favorite Doctor.
My Sig P228 is my favorite handgun.
Oh, and my PPS is a blaugrau frame.
Took a while to find a handgun that fit my hand. Found it in the Sig P228.
… Hobbit
I love my gen 1 pps.
I’ve been really interested in getting the CCP as a carry gun (yes, they let people like me carry). I could even deal with the less than ideal take-down of it.
How long are those rebates still good for?
My main problem with Walther is the price of the magazines.
I finished the White Russian, not bad. I mixed a “White Leprechaun” (replace vodka with Irish whiskey) and I proclaim it superior.
Oh, what fresh hell is this?
🙁

Eh. Doesn’t Denver have bigger fish to fry that prosecuting pooping in public?
It would take Florida Man not to be bothered by this.
We don’t want people getting deported for committing crimes. Shitting in public is a crime. I know, let’s decriminalize shitting in public!
How about teach fucking barbarians not to shit out in public? Is that too much to ask?
I’m not saying it’s normal or okay, I just don’t think it’s that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things.
It is the lowering of one of our most basic health standards to avoid removing people from our soil who don’t respect our most basic health standards. This is not something civilized people do in cities. There are public restrooms everywhere in the West. There is no reason for bowing to the barbarians.
Welcome to Denver, don’t drink the water. Is that what you’d like to hear anywhere in America?
If it’s good enough for San Fransisco.
Be fair, that’s already the motto in Flint, MI.
A.) That’s not a relative privation fallacy.
B.) That’s not what I said.
You claimed the thrust of your argument that decriminalization was wrong because “this whole issue is about deportation of people who bring third world problems to a first world country … People who already broke the law coming to a country illegally”, I pointed out that was an unwarranted implication as legal immigrants can be deported if they commit certain crimes as well. The issue actually is, does the act of public defecation warrant a 999 dollar fine and up to a year in jail? You’re acting as if the city is legalizing the act, as oppose to lessening the penalty to something more reasonable. Furthermore, your dander seems to be up because the lessened penalties don’t allow for deportation of immigrants, whom you claim that if they commit this act, they must be doing other nefarious things. (That’s a fallacy of faulty generalization, btw.) Again, if so, catch them doing those nefarious things.
The truth is, the majority of people crapping in the streets are either mentally ill and/or junkies. If they were sane, they wouldn’t be crapping in the streets. No punishment, however draconian, is going to stop a crazy bum from shitting in the street. I just don’t see why a basic urban annoyance should lead to all this Sturm und Drang over the fate of the West.
And it’s not like this can’t actually become a health problem. People shitting in streets, dumping food slop, etc. were what attracted rats with plague into human cities to overbreed. Plague is endemic to Colorado. If you don’t believe that, look it up. Occasionally people still die from it in the modern age.
It’s disgusting. It’s unsanitary. It’s broken windows. It’s going to create racial tensions. There are zero positive upsides of this. Either you follow Western laws and traditions, or you fuck off back to whatever shithole you came from where it’s OK to shit in the street.
If I’m reading the article correctly, one can still get up to 2 months in jail for shitting in public under the new law.
How many people you got shitting in the street there? Maybe it’s time to abandon the city.
If we decriminalize shitting in public, before you know it, EVERYONE will be dropping trow and taking a big steaming turd wherever they feel. People will start smearing it on the sides of buildings and then on themselves and then on each other. Public servants will start shitting in the water supply. Teachers will be shitting in classrooms in front of chilrenz. Doctors in operating rooms. It’ll be pandemonium…SOMALIA I TELL YOU!
You kid, Francisco. The problem is, people do start engaging in more rule-breaking and criminality when they see evidence of other people doing it. This is a well-established sociological phenomenon.
It may not translate directly into identical acts as much as increased graffiti, littering, neglect of property upkeep, and so on. There’s just something about how human beings are wired that causes them to neglect societal norms, rules, and laws if they get the impression that others aren’t following them.
There is 1000 times more pigeon shit dropped on your average city every day than there will EVER be deposited by humans.
And not one more human is going to shit in the streets than currently does already because there is no law against it.
One less stupid law. Libertarian win!
You’ve got something seriously wrong with you.
Start up the rotors.
It’s not enough, HM!
Decriminalization ≠ Legalization
Jus’ sayin’
First off, that is a relative privation fallacy. We are not talking about fucking pigeons. We’re talking about human beings who have, ostensibly, gyrated brains that are much larger than a retarded bird.
Second, pigeon shit is far less of a problem. Humans seeing pigeon shit don’t assume that nobody gives a damn about the area and proceed to make it a worse place to live. It doesn’t carry as many human communicable diseases because, surprise, zoonotic diseases are actually fairly rare.
Finally, did you even read Heroic Mulatto’s link about SF just above? Clearly it is a problem if people are making fucking Internet maps to document where humans are shitting in a Western city.
This is true, but those are exactly the kind of barbaric pieces of shit that need to be deported. Won’t follow one super basic law about city sanitation, you’re probably breaking other laws too that nobody’s caught you for. It’s a sign of basic respect. I mean, fuck. I assume you’d call the police on someone shitting on your personal property, no?
I’m going to go out on a limb and say ZSG is not into corprophilia.
Ps. Screw how it’s spelt.
Actually, no.
Mr. Mossberg and I can chase a shitting hobo off just fine without assistance.
Then do the policework to catch them committing those other crimes. There’s no need to give the state the power to throw someone, native-born or not, into a rape cage for a year because they took a piss on a lamppost when drunk.
Here in Montana, it’s perfectly legal to walk down the street butt-ass-neked (provided you aren’t doing it to offend someone or for sexual gratification). Guess what?
We don’t have hoards of people walking around unclothed.
Don’t be such a drama queen.
Wouldn’t be too much I imagine to find someone in your area to hire to break into your car and take a dump on the seats when you’re not around.
And this whole issue is about deportation of people who bring third world problems to a first world country, not tossing people into rape cages. People who already broke the law coming to a country illegally. I somehow doubt jailhouse rapes are anywhere near what’s going on in prisons, but I may be wrong.
I couldn’t care less about the drunk pissers. Give those a ticket. We’re talking about defecation, which carries plenty of human-communicable diseases because it comes out of humans.
And you’re also dodging all the other points I bring up about how people change in behavior when they see evidence lawlessness and so on.
Are we libertarians or libertines? Anything goes, no matter whether it may lead to all kinds of other problems and public health issues? Have we no pride in our goddamn country, our traditions, our laws? If being a libertarian means accepting barbaric behavior on the regular because our country doesn’t give a fuck about itself anymore, then I guess I’m not a libertarian anymore. Maybe go see what those NRx guys are up to. Maybe they’re onto something.
With all the collective hate you spew, it’s likely you never really were.
Well…bye.
Anything goes, no matter whether it may lead to all kinds of other problems
Yup. Turn that ‘may’ into a ‘will’ and you might have a point.
Yeah, people who shit in the street were a collective. They’ve got a national flag and everything.
It has a street as a background and a giant pile of shit in the middle of it.
I thought you were leaving?
I think The Hyperbole probably knows a thing or two about hyperbole, given the name, but you seem not to.
I guess you take offense because you’re from the Street-shitting Collective, A.K.A. Shitopia?
That’s something you’re reading into the article that’s not there. A legal immigrant who commits a serious enough crime can be deported as well. But as I pointed out above, I don’t see how this is necessarily 3rd World problem when we have plenty of native bums shitting in streets and pissing in the subways.
As for the rest, your preoccupations are your preoccupations. If you believe reducing the maximum penalty for public defecation/urination from 12 months to 2 months then signals the downfall of civilization, yes, I think the Anime Nazis are just the crowd you should hang with. Your sense of priorities fit well within a group that believes International Jewry insidiously promotes interracial cuckoldry through kid’s sitcoms,
? San Francisco d’Anti-commodia ? 😀
If you know anything about how the police in Denver operate, essentially this change is just going to make it something unenforced entirely. I’ve arrested people for trespassing (I was a peace officer), turned them over to the police and they just drive them a few blocks away and let them go.
It will go from something that could, in theory, be enforced to something that is not.
And maybe human beings should stop shitting in the street, given that pretty much every business will let you use their restroom, public or not, if you ask. We’re not goddamned animals. Christ.
Again, relative privation. Legal citizens might do it, well fuck, just let everyone.
That is a logical fallacy. Attack the argument I presented, don’t throw up other arguments for me also to have to defend.
Colorado has endemic plague, hanta virus, etc. Those are not fun diseases to get. Feces attracts rats and mice, which overpopulate.
And I have pet rats. I have taught rats to shit in a litter pan. If rats are capable of doing something and a human is not, I don’t wanna live on this planet anymore. 😀
If they decriminalize cocaine, heroin, LSD, and cannabis, why then the shit will really hit the fan. That’s like 4x the problem of public shitting, and we can’t have that.
Florida Man loses at Oregon Trail.
We couldn’t afford that game as children. That’s for bringing up memories of the soul crushing poverty of my childhood, ya jerk!
Well, now we know where Sandi has been all this time.
That guy needs a golden shower (no, not Coors. That would be cruel).
Sam Panopoulos, inventor of Hawaiian pizza [sic], dies aged 82.
What a noble and important Canadian contribution to the world.
I feel for the man’s family but putting ham and pineapple on a pizza puts you on an even footing with war criminals in my book.
Ham’s fine.
The pineapple thing is worse than Hitler.
Both of you are sentenced to the permanent heartburn of cheap pepperoni pizza.
Panopoulos? Does his version have feta cheese?
Feta-like. At least in the EU.
The EU’s food trademarks are nuts. The Tokaj river starts in Slovakia, but Slovaks calling their wines from their little bit of the valley Tokaj enraged the Hungarians.
What’s a good gun for gun fishing?
And ammo, I’d guess FMJ only.
What? You use a bow to hunt fish, you nut.
What kinda depth you get with that?
Is this a euphemism or serious question? I can’t tell anymore!
Same as dynamite. Not enough.
Feelin that AK song.
The Saudi world cup team refused to honor a minute of silence for the victims of London Bridge and Manchester terrorist attacks.
They just kept practicing through a minute of silence.
http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/news-and-comment/london-bridge-terror-attack-saudi-arabia-football-team-criticism-minutes-silence-a7778976.html
At first, the sports guys for the Saudi club explained that moments of silence weren’t part of their culture, but then people kept posting video of them observing moments of silence when playing elsewhere in the Middle East.
Two Australian women were killed in the terrorist attacks. It was an opportunity for the Saudis to help ease tensions between Australian Muslims and the rest of the country.
But noooooOOOOOoooooooo.
Vile.
Completely and utterly vile.
It will be enjoyable to watch them get the shit kicked out of them. Too bad it’ll be some team like Jordan, and not the Roos humiliating them.
Saudis gonna Saudi.
Speaking of which, I see Trump is coming out with the Saudis against Qatar.
Moments of silence aren’t part of their culture? I thought you could beat them.
*single clap leading into thunderous applause*
I hate moments of silence. If I want to pray or recognize something I’ll do it myself. I don’t need some sports-ball-caster to tell me to do it.
I hate them too. I like to hear her screams. Hot.
Hell yeah, Boi! Imma go mix another drink!
During the Iranian hostage crisis, even the Iron Sheik had the good sense and decency to tone down his gimmick. These assholes are lucky the Aussies didn’t start throwing venomous fauna at them.
A man with more sense and decency than a Saudi soccer player.

Made homemade pizza tonight. I just can’t get it right. I’ve gotten close many times, but my skills are going downhill as I make it less frequently. Today, I didn’t take the dough out of the refrigerator early enough, so it was still cold as I was trying to toss it. I don’t have a stone anymore, so I cooked the pizzas on cookie sheets, which made burnt bottoms and underdone tops. Tonight was mushroom and onion, so a slightly underdone top wasn’t too bad.
I’ve been using premade dough balls from Wegmans the last few times, but haven’t been super happy with the results, so I may go back to from-scratch dough.
Oh, I see the problem.
You forgot the meat.
I don’t want to waste perfectly good meat on a deficient medium. My pizzas need to earn the right to bear meat.
Pepperoni grease makes the cheese better.

Jesse has similar standards.
Publix, the best grocery store in the universe, has a do it yourself section for pizza. You should go there next time.
The last time I was in Orlando, Publix was the ONLY grocery store.
I have a Trader Joe’s, fresh market and Whole Foods within three miles of my house. Also three publixs, publix …publi?
I have all three of those within 3 miles. The Whole Foods and Fresh Market are both a mile or less away. I like Fresh Market the best of the three.
I go to fresh market for steaks.
Yep, they have the best beef.
Ah. Then I have a Trader Joe’s tip for you.
Get their butterflied lemon rosemary chicken. It’s brined in an orange-lime mojo, and then rubbed with lemon, herbs, and olive oil.
Best grocery store chicken I’ve ever had. I can easily eat a whole one myself.
Only because it’s you I’ll go. People went nuts when they built it. I still haven’t been.
NEVER BEEN?????
OK, if you haven’t been, get the Peruvian rice too. I assumed that you already knew about that.
They call it “Chimmichurri” rice, but it’s Peruvian. Flavored with Panca peppers. I give it 11 stars.
I’ll go soon. I’m trying to grow Panca in my garden. We will see how it goes.
I’ll make it easy:
Rice.
Chicken.
Go forth and be merry, my son.
I tried the chimmichuri rice, it was okay. Nothing spectacular.
Nothing spectacular, but slightly better than jug wine?
No Fresh Market here. We had something called Fresh and Easy, but the UFCW union destroyed it because it was all self checkout.
Go east, young man!
I know the cookie sheets are only so big, but can you press them out thinner?
/ex pro pizza jockey
so I may go back to from-scratch dough.
The Hyperbole’s one and only pizza dough secret – take whatever recipe your using and replace half the olive oil with sesame oil. You’re welcome.
I tried that trick and was pleased with the results. Thanks for the tip.
My brother in law who is a pizza fiend uses Trader Joe’s Pizza dough all of the time. He made some focaccia with it last time they were up and it was really good.
The pizza stone is the most important thing.
I’ve broken three perfectly seasoned pizza stones. I am a monster.
For an amateur pizza chef the most important thing is a pizza screen, getting the right flour/cornmeal coating to avoid sticking is the biggest bane of first timers, the pizza screen eliminate that and IMHO makes a more uniform and crispier without burnt parts crust.
Well, next after a wood fired stone oven that actually gets hot enough to make pizza in.
Pizza in a regular oven is like calling what you make on your propane grill “BBQ”.
My to do list for the next week includes tweaking my wood fired oven. After numerous pizzas, I think I narrowed it down to what needs to be done to get it hotter.
*Seething envy*
Stone makes a huge difference
I’m watching Ancient Aliens. Did ya’ll know that alien space faring civilizations came here to earth and stacked up some rocks in a pyramid shape? I mean really, if you had the power of interstellar travel, wouldn’t that be your favorite thing to do? I mean, that’s funny, right? Those earthling monkeys are too easy!
Ah…The History Channel…
Alternate history is the best, right? /prog
As opposed to the Learning Channel?
Sure, I guess I learn something by watching midgets fighting and and women hyperventilating over wedding dresses.
You forgot people who can “talk” to your dead relatives (after they research your entire family history online.)
They were terminals of geodetic lay line power transferral
That’s literally the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen. Give me a set of points on a globe and I can come up with a set of intersecting lines. People are so clueless. Which is why it’s always been so easy to create a new cult or religion.
Ask Mr. Lizard, he’ll tell you.
I’m pretty sure humans are only good for pranking, from an interstellar point of view.
Yeah. You can only see the Nazca Lines from space. Although they’re all visible from surrounding high altitude points on the earth.
They were directed by their alien overlords to use hot air balloons to survey the land.
Pro tip: if you go to Peru, skip the nazca lines. There is a really nice double tree in paracas, but that’s it. Spend more time in Cusco and the sacred valley or the Amazon.
I was thinking Machu Picchu.
Machu Picchu is really nice. My wife took some really great pictures there. One thing you should know about Peru, the food is amazing. Eat as much variety as you can when you’re there. Cuscena is the national beer and is pretty dang tasty.
Stop getting high and watching Stargate Hyperion.
What happens when you’re a run-of-the-mill and unoriginal Democrat representing NY, and you have Chelsea Clinton and Caroline Kennedy lurking behind your back waiting to be anointed by the kingmakers? A lot of fucks. So woke.
“Has he kept his promises? No. F— no,”
Sounds like she wants him to get busy on that wall. He should name it the Kirsten Gillibrand Monument Wall.
“If we are not helping people, we should go the fuck home,” Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand tells audience of Dem Party at Personal Democracy Forum.
Go the fuck home.
ya, she kind of opened herself up for that one.
It seems like the one lesson that the Democrats took out of the election loss (besides OMG RUSSIANS) was “we need to be more relatable, so swear like demented children”.
And Trump’s the Idiocracy candidate.
I don’t mind profanity, but when every other word is an explicit, I assume you have a limited vocabulary and are what I refer to as “dumb as hell”.
I don’t see the need for it because it’s either reflective of emotional instability or a calculated political move. If it’s the former congratulations, by screaming fucks at Trump over nothing you’ve just proven that you’re too immature to be anywhere near power. In the latter case (which is what I think it is), it’s an attempt to appeal to the screaming retards that make up the current Left by being ‘relatable’ because you swear at Donald Trump. It’s the same thing with Perez swearing constantly earlier this year as well.
If Gillibrand’s at some attempted assassination or something and yells “we’ve got to get the fuck out of here!” that’s natural. This is calculated idiocy where they think throwing out fucks shows how entirely serious and determined they are. When in reality it’s cheap, shallow political theatre that really just shows how much of these people’s lives are dependent on the political personas they dream up.
And of course, because it’s the Internet, we can easily pull up all those Hillary “OUR CHILDREN ARE WATCHING!!” ads about Campaign Trump. Of course, if these people weren’t hypocrites, they wouldn’t be leftists.
This time the Fbombs are for the children. I heard they are all going to die. That is fucked up killing children. The fucker.
Well, yeah, but you’re Canadian, so you’d say “pardon me,” before ending with “but fuck off.”
Why Comey’s testimony was utterly devastating to Trump
And in a brilliant demonstration of a lack of self awareness she starts the piece with:
They are still riding this pony?
Sorry, but after 100 comments, fuck the topic. So What Do I Get?
The somewhat cleaner cut Ramones?
Have The Rolling Stones killed Smithers!
Ha. I listened to a bunch of songs off their first album and Rocket to Russia, too. Where’s l0b0t?
Love the Buzzcocks
KC man jailed 17 years for purse snatching released after judge overturns conviction
Unless you have a time machine…
I like mild .38 spl loads. Follow up shots and control-ability and affording a lot of practice are really important out of a snubbie.
I’ve tried 9mm and .40 and .380 and I keep coming back to the old fashioned .38 spl.
Sure my loads won’t bring down the house or penetrate a car door but I can keep a rapid fire string within the 8-ring on a B-27 target at 10 yards. That doesn’t make me any kind of expert or marksman but I’m satisfied with my ability.
I’m also a fan of the .45 of course, but I do not yet own one.
I can tell you after 10 years working trauma, humans aren’t that hard to kill.
But you deal with weaklings in the ER.
My favorite shooting, a guy was getting dialysis and his girlfriend came in and shot him twice in the gut. I was like “Damn bitch, can’t you wait for the renal failure to kill him.”.
Oooh, gut shots… now he needs a Gastroenterologal surgeon too!
Yah. Pussies that get their gunshots treated.
Ptth.
Rub some dirt on it. It’ll be fine.
/my ex-infantry dad
Just from casual observation: it seems like .38 specials are less dangerous than motorcycle crashes, and motorcycles are less dangerous than women.
Women: the most dangerous game.
I had this one ex-girlfriend, who was just a nightmare. I felt so bad when we broke up, and that’s just how messed up it was. Losing her was better for me than winning the lottery.
If I had to choose between getting back together with her and a motorcycle crash, I’d rev my bike out into the nearest wall without a second thought.
One of my girlfriends said she didn’t like my motorcycle because they were too much alike–and she really was beautiful and curvy and expensive and dangerous like a motorcycle.
My motorcycle didn’t like her either.
Yeah, when women say, “Motorcycles are dangerous”, it always makes me laugh.
Yeah, revolvers are also are much ready to shoot accurately consistently. I have an S&W .38 police model. The sights are too shallow for my aging eyes. Looking at a 7 round 686 plus .357. gun shop has one on sale with 2.5″ barrel but I’d rather pay the extra $100 for the 4″.
