cis

 

 

and that’s all i have to say about that.
to clarify, i agree with the post at qt. i disagree with the doody heads who are offended with the word “cis”. it’s like, if the gentiles decided that the word “gentile” was offensive, and jews should stop using it. yeah, right. ok then, that wasn’t all i had to say about it :)

kung fu

 

 

kung fu was probably one of my favorite tv series while it was on the air in the 70’s. maybe two years ago, we picked up the first and second seasons on dvd, and have enjoy watching them. about a week before the recent passing of david carradine, we started watching the series from the beginning again, and when we heard about his death, we went out and finally got the third season.

there are those that thought little of the series, and the philosophies outlined by the characters, referring to it as “zen-lite”, but i thought the world of the series, and david carradine’s performance, along with keye luke who played master po, and philip ahn who played master kan.

i was particularly disappointed to see this kind of gossip, with the tasteless headline “David Carradine’s Friend: He Was Killed by Transsexual Prostitutes”. i mean really, let the man die in peace.

the article, in part, says:

Gunderson says, “I believe he met two Lady Boys in the hotel bar… They are flirtatious, desperate for money and would have zeroed in on a celebrity like Carradine.” Gunderson is convinced the hookers drugged Carradine, hung him and then set about staging what would look like a suicide.

of course, the article hinges on the idea that associating with “lady boys” is inherently bad, and that all “lady boys” are “flirtatious, desperate for money”. of course, there’s no mention of what “loot” the alleged “lady boys” got away with, after allegedly doing their dastardly deed.

rest in peace kwai chang, i will always remember you, your kind and gentle manor, and your eternal wisdom.

range report

 

 

i went to the range yesterday to try out my new .22 ammo, and to fire off a few rounds through my shotgun. after finally getting a hold of some ammo, i was looking forward to some range time. the remington golden bullet ammo worked flawlessly in my walther p22, a gun that i’ve traditionally found to be very picky when it comes to ammo. previously, it could only reliably feed cci minimag, but either the gun has finally worn in some, or this remington ammo is similar enough.

 

 

not the most accurate gun in the world, but it’s fun to shoot, and finding another type of ammo to use, especially with the current shortage, is a boon. not one failure to feed, and shoots pretty clean.

mail order

 

 

when nothing is in stock locally, one must use those resources available. natchez shooters supplies has ammo in stock, though the prices may not be the best, and waiting for shipment is also involved.

upgrades

 

 

i got two new upgrades for my ruger 10/22 rifle recently, neither of which have been installed yet. the first is a simmons 22 mag scope. it’s an entry level model which i got on sale at cabela’s for $39. i wasn’t happy with the red dot sight which is fine for close targets, but my eyes aren’t as good as they used to be for anything over 15 yards or so. i’ll probably install that over the weekend.

next up is a majestic arms alumi-lite barrel which i picked up used from my local firearm message board. they go for $219 plus shipping, i got this one in perfect, never shot condition for $125. since it’s a .920 diameter barrel, like most match grade 10/22 barrels, i’ll need to get an after-market stock before i put it on. so i’l be saving my pennies, and checking the boards for any deals.
