If that don't just beat all.

Wackaloons step out for excursion to zoo. Packing heat?


"You will have to excuse the joy I take in reporting on Idaho. It is the only place a Texan can point to and say, "Well, at least we aint as crazy as that!"

It goes without saying that a family openly strapping guns to their belts (along with a couple extra clips of ammo) and going to the Boise Zoo keeps lions, tigers and bears (oh no) from eating people. On the day in question no animals had eaten any humans. It is also a deterrent for all would be animal thieves and stroller hijackers. Again not one rattlesnake or elephant was stolen from the zoo on this day, and no strollers were stolen or children kidnapped. So the dozen or so gun packers did their job well as there were also no terrorist attacks or Mexicans taking jobs away from any white people.

Of course as you can see from the video* below the local Boise TV station could only claim that openly carrying weapons at the zoo is "unusual" rather than the more appropriate description that it is "f**king nuts".

One little quip did give the rest of the world an idea of just how crazy gunloons really are. One of the fathers of the ten members of OpenCarry.org family packing at the zoo said that until his children are old enough to carry guns of their own, they are carrying knives! And there they are in the video. Looks like an 8 year old and a 10 year old with big old knives to stab... hmm... People who laugh at them? Peacocks running loose? Silly me, obviously to skin the rogue lions, tigers and bears their parents shoot at the zoo. Or perhaps some Mexicans? Or maybe the three black people that live in Idaho somewhere but are presently in hiding?

I must also add that it would seem to the casual reader that Idaho is a right-wing noodle state but in its defense please keep in mind that one of Idaho's United States Senators is open and tolerant of soliciting gay sex in public rest rooms. So at least give the people of Idaho that. After all, no place is all bad. Well... There is Pasadena, Texas."

* I downloaded the video but it has vanished like that second sock. If it surfaces again, I'll put it up. Meanwhile, if you want to see it, the link is below.

Jackrite, again.

Unfortunately there are a bunch of folks in this US that feel they should have the right to open carry much in the same way Yeminis (sp) carry their swords. Let's just hope they all stick together and leave the rest of us alone. Fanatics are fanatics, regardless of subject matter.

I haven't got a problem with guns, as such.
I guess the idea of loadin' up and headin' off to the zoo just strikes me a ludicrous.

These are folks that want the right to load up and go to the grocery store, the zoo, the movie theatre, work, etc. They also want the right to shoot to kill anyone that visits them without an invitation (like the mailman, the neighbours, etc.) 'Thing is they think *they're* sane and we're the crazy ones. I"m all for the right to bear arms and all - but I'm not all for the sicko wackiness. AW, btw, has decided he's one of them.

Stop the Spying!

About Me

A hobby cook from the Midwest. Experiments, thoughts, new recipes, maybe even a photo or two... You noticed the pouting little girl with the words superimposed over her face? Growing up in the 60s and 70s the refrain of "there are starving children in [insert current poverty-stricken nation] that would love to have such... etc etc etc." I don't know that anyone actually believed all that but the image of a starving foreign child, holding out a bowl in hopes of being gifted with boiled tongue or green tomato pie, was pretty powerful. I do recall the kind of trouble kids would inevitably be in if they dared to say what most of us thought: "Well, then, send this stuff right on over to those poor, starving [insert country] kids." I don't usually post other people's photos, just my own. If you want to borrow or use one of my photos, I would appreciate your asking first. I usually don't mind but do hate having my work attributed to someone else. By the way, I found the photo of that pouting girl on the web with no attribution. If it's yours? We'll deal, ok? Thanks.
