Well, I really screwed up the last post I did. But seriously, who hasn’t confused Berlin, CT with Berlin, Germany?
Anyway, here a few more things to be thankful for as we start another week of work:
Rosario Dawson hosing herself off. Seriously, who cares why.
Packers Fans taking Brett Favre’s situation in an understated manner.
Somebody else hates commercials as much as I do.
Most people merely dislike commercials. I fucking HATE them. I loathe them with all the bile in my bloated liver. Hatred for ads is embedded in my marrow, programmed into my DNA, woven into the fabric of my soul.
That’s why the people who invented TiVo/DVR and satellite radio are gods. They have golden thrones reserved in heaven, while advertising fuckfaces like Big Daddy Drew will burn for all eternity because they profited from making everyone else’s life just a little bit more miserable. Ever written a jingle? Die. And then say hi to Hitler for me.
And finally, I have a new addition to the house. My latest arrival is called Mosin-Nagant 7.62, and it will defend the home well. Also, the fucker is so heavy, I could just use it as a club if necessary. I had a photo of the rifle, but the Kodak Easy Share Program on my computer ate the photo. So, I have to settle for this video:
Bitch-ass punk sucker punched me while I was busy looking at Rosario Dawson hose herself off.
Jeebus, that’s quite a weapon eddiebear.
If you wanted to do an demolition work at your house, you could use that very effectively.
^Thanks to the 2nd Amendment.
And they gave me the bayonet as well.
Huzzah for me!
I’ll bet that was Eric’s school project.
He’s very good at splaining things. He will go far. Cute kid.
Rosario Dawson, Brett Favre, Stupid Commercial hatred, Big Ass Croc Killer and Mosin Nagant rifles all in one post. Major Man post.
The testosterone is surging through me now and I must go pillage a small trailer park. Be back later.
You’ll like that Mosin. Which model? Here’s a place to get questions answered - http://russian-mosin-nagant.com/mambo/
email me if you need some ideas on finding ammo cheap. Buy in bulk and buy now as prices have doubled in the last year.
The store where I bought the rifle sells boxes of 20 for $5/box. Is that a good deal?
Hmmm. Who is she, an actress?
She appears to be a life-support system for those two sweater puppies.
She has done a bunch of those Independent type films.

And that system is doing a damn fine job.
Eddie, look into buying in bulk on the internet. $5 a box isn’t a bad price, but see what you can get if you buy your ammo 500 or 1000 rounds at a time. If you’re like me, it’s not too hard to end up paying about 3 times what you paid for the gun for a manly stockpile of ammo.
I’ve got the M-38 Mosin Nagant, the “carbine” version that doesn’t take a bayonet. Just as well. I’ll just use a boy scout knife if I run out of ammo anyway.
Also, make sure to find out whether or not the ammo you’re getting is corrosively primed or not. A lot of the old ammo uses corrosive chemicals in the primers, which makes the gun rust quickly if you don’t clean it after shooting. The corrosive primers hold up better in storage & are more reliable, so even after non-corrosive priming compounds were available, you still saw Com Bloc countries loading corrosive ammo. If the box of ammo’s covered in Cyrillic script, it’s usually a safe bet to say that it’s corrosive.
Email me if you want any leads on bulk ammo.
“Is that a good deal?” - That’s not to bad a price since you’re saving shipping costs. See if your dealer will sell you bulk in the original unopened cans. Storage is easier/safer and you don’t have to worry about it going bad from moisture, etc.
Some Mosins seem to like a specific type of ammo better than others. If the dealer has rounds from more than one manufacturer, try a couple different types and then buy a bunch of that type. Nothing makes a guy warm and fuzzy like a big ass crate of MilSurp ammo.
And get a slip on recoil pad. You’ll appreciate it.
That bayonet is almost as long as the rifle. And it has to weigh at least 5 lbs on its own.
And I loved how the guy at the store said to clean it: just pour some boiling hot soapy water down the barrel and run those cleaning patches through, then use some WD40. He said the ammo they had for it was very corrosive.
I remember boiling M16’s in a trash can full of soapy water at the end of BCT. Hadn’t thought of that for years.
Russ:
When I get a chance, I’ll call the place where I bought it and see.
Brew: We used some Gum Out. That stuff worked wonders.
Glad Russ mentioned the cleaning. All MilSurp ammo is corrosive and you should clean it well as soon as you’re done shooting.
If it’s still got a bunch of cosmoline on it you’ll want to give it a good cleaning before you shoot it, too. Even the ones that have been cleaned seem to have a lot of the preservative under the barrel and in the stock where you can’t see it. Get it hot with a few rounds and that gunk starts pouring out.
If you break it down and separate the stock from the metal parts, put it all in a black plastic trash bag along with a big bunch of wadded up newspaper, tie it off and set it in the sun for about 8 hours. That’ll get all the extra cosmoline loose and running out of all the cracks, etc. Clean it well and reassemble. Really easy and works well. No solvent on the wood.
You’ll find out soon enough about the famous “Mosin Sticky Bolt” problem & we’ll cover that when you get to it. You’re gonna love the old Commie Cannon. The damn things are a sickness.
OT: It’s 80 friggin degrees in this office, and it’s been 80 friggin degrees in this office all week.
Dave does not feel “fresh”.
I had a hunch the anonymous person asking for handgun advice at Ace’s wasn’t Russ.
Even though he does have girly hands.
^naw, that was not me. I have never intended to buy a pistol.
Dave does not feel “fresh”.
I suggest Dave uses Masingale Medicated Douche, that will freshen him up.

Mr. Min. Have some compassion for our dear friend Dave. He works in an office with a bunch of gals who keep turning up the thermostat on him cause their cold. He is trying to be a nice guy. Where’s your understanding??
Dave — Hang in there dear friend. Your swimming pool awaits you, sweetie!
Hell, I’m not that nice.
The (new!) AC unit on this side of the building got blowed up last week during a t-storm.
Although yes, the pool is calling my name.
He is trying to be a nice guy. Where’s your understanding??
Dang, Cathy, you are actually making me feel bad.
skinny, as if my wife would LET me get another handgun. I’m under strict orders that we’re on a “one comes in, one goes out” system from now on.
Girly hands? I think you have me confused with Mr. Parafin Bath over there.
*glances at Dave*
Shah, it doesn’t even look like Brett Favre
I’m waiting for you Dave… you and your leopard print number.
DO NOT use Gumout on your Mosi.. It will eat the finish right off. It was OK for M-16s at the end of BCT because they get send back to the arsenal every decade or so. You can’t afford that.
DO NOT USE WD-40. It attracts moisture. I learned the hard way.
Use some kind of gun oil.
Pope out.
DO NOT USE Q-TIPS. The cotton comes off and gets stuck in your ear.
DO NOT TAKE THE STRIPPER out of the dance club. Things look really different under the glow of black-light and neon.
DO NOT THROW A HANGING SLIDER TO BILLY HALL! Take that LaRussa!
DO NOT GO IN AGAINST A SICILIAN when death is on the line.
DO NOT REMOVE THIS COMMENT under penalty of law.
Hoppes number, what. 9? I think for cleaning. And any decent gun oil. WD 40 is a water displacement formula, not gun friendly.
DO NOT SHOUT THEATRE in a crowded firehouse.
DO NOT PASS GO! Do not collect unemployment.
DO NOT “DO NOT”!

Firefighters said the men came home from a weekend camping trip to find their cat, named Ralph, stuck in the jar.
After some troubleshooting, firefighters decided to lube up the jar.
“Camping” trip eh? Two men who live together and own a cat eh?. Happen to have some lube handy. Huh. Obviously, this cat has been trained to go after gerbils in tight places.
You’re a sicko lw.
Did this happen in Texas? I forgot to look.
Vancouver, WA.
It was at the fire station though.
(Michael: feel free to delete this if you want.)
I’m sorry to be spamming my favorite blogs, but as usual, I need some advice.
Does anyone here have experience or knowledge about insulin pumps (either personally or knowing someone with a pump)? I’ve decided to go on the pump, and need to do a lot of research before I meet my endocrinologist on August 6. Please e-mail me (my name at yahoo dot com). I have some questions to ask.
Thanks!
