I go on and on warning you people about the dangers of face-eating monkeys and nobody listens to me, and then what is this morning's headline on CNN.com?Didn't I say this would happen? Now maybe people will listen to me and Stephen Hawking about the killer space robots.
Quick! What gun for baboon?
Any intermediate rifle cartridge should do.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking that this is going to spur a rise in the sales of the S&W Model 629 in S. A...
ReplyDeleteAnd word verification is rumunts which could be seen as a TRULY offensive question in S. A...
A regular customer at the first gun store I worked at was from South Africa.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite story of his ended with "...and so he went out the back door in his bathrobe, flipped the AK to 'Afrikaner', and started hosing the baboons off his tennis court."
M4orgery in 6.8 SPC.
ReplyDeleteIf you encounter any Boers
ReplyDeleteYou really must not loot 'em!
And if you wish to leave these shores,
For pity's sake, DON'T SHOOT 'EM!!
"...and so he went out the back door in his bathrobe, flipped the AK to 'Afrikaner', and started hosing the baboons off his tennis court."
ReplyDeleteOh Jebus, I think a random Boer just won the internets...
And what gun for baboon? Well, anything with a 'banana clip', obviously.

ReplyDeleteYou get 15 minutes in the time-out corner for that one, mister.
Capstick shot them with a 375. And then walking up on a dead one, discovered it's very alive mate was still there in the shadows. He used a 44 mag on THAT one at close range. Reading about it made me involuntarily shiver a bit.
ReplyDeleteJoanna - if I nearly hosed my laptop with my breakfast when I read that, should I get the same?
ReplyDeleteJim
Jim: Nah. That's why he's in the time-out corner.

ReplyDeleteThat is by the far the funniest thing I have heard all week.
What gun for Baboon? Old BAR in 30-06....Why? because you know it would be funny as hell spraying down baboons with a whip-it gun! Holla!
New Jovian: great movie. . .
ReplyDeletewv: "blarag" : insulting someone on your blog. . .
Anything that is truly sufficient for a man should uffice. I would like to have a green laser, to contrast well with red noses and arses.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinkin' Ma Deuce, in one of those remote control things the young people are using on the HMMWVs nowadays...
ReplyDeletewv: mongshot. What shot for monkeys?
I once knew a gal out past Jefferson, TX who traveled with a small circus; she had an assortment of big cats, and a 3 year old baboon names Judy. Judy's best friend and constant companion was an American Staffordshire terrier, who was about 2 years old. The baboon would drag the poor dog around by the head, tail, ears, or anything she could latch onto. Gave that pit bull unmitigated hell, and the dog loved the attention. Eventually, she'd hop on the dog's back and ride him like a pony. Somewhere I've got pictures of that.
ReplyDeleteNo, I never turned my back on the 'boon, but the dog was very friendly. I know which one I'd trust with a child.
I'd say a 12 gauge with 3-0 or 4-0 buck would do the trick.
og has it with the nod toward a semi-auto, probably in something you'd care to whack a deer with, at the very least, considering that baboons are crazy strong for their size.
ReplyDeleteM14, FAL or G3 sounds good to me.
I mean, there is an army of them trolling the streets, right?
223 works fine, problem is the buggers are intelligent and learn to evaporate the moment you get the boomstick.
ReplyDeleteHave heard it told that they learn the difference between man with boomstick and man with broomstick very quickly.
"...and so he went out the back door in his bathrobe, flipped the AK to 'Afrikaner', and started hosing the baboons off his tennis court."
ReplyDeleteAnd all we get is Knob Creek. Dang foreigners have all the fun.
