Now if you'll excuse me....
I need to tac reload my OJ and dominate the fridge space.

And yeah, OJ means Operator Juice.

Critter said...: This has inspired me to move, tactically, from one room to the next. The next room is the bathroom which I shall dominate.; 10:37 AM, March 28, 2013
Anonymous said...: I recognize him. He was in the gun store yesterday giving advice and telling us about his combat experience.
I didn't know U.S. forces rescued Putin from the Mujaheddin.
I don't remember if his stories started "Once upon a time..." or "This ain't no B.S....", but I'm pretty sure they were all fairy tales.; 10:37 AM, March 28, 2013

And our cats.

Heck he might just do it now anyway just for practice.

But I can't decide if it's funnier if they do...or if they don't...

Thanks,

I think I have to send him a check now, just so he won't kill me. First.; 2:23 PM, March 28, 2013

BTW, is there something to be gained by grabbing the forearm of one's rifle from the side instead of the bottom?; 2:30 PM, March 28, 2013
Tam said...: docjim505,

Unless you are doing it in a "monkey see, monkey do" fashion, a "c-clamp" offers advantages at certain ranges and under certain circumstances.

If one does not know when or why to use it, one is almost certainly doing it wrong. :); 2:35 PM, March 28, 2013
Tam said...: docjim505,

Loathe as I am to say this, yes, it should be painfully obvious that it is tongue-in-cheek.

If one was not tickled pink and eagerly awaiting the next gibe or in-joke, then one may not get all the humor.; 2:39 PM, March 28, 2013

The order of battle for his unit is... him.
He doesn't bleed, but if he did, his blood would be Flat Dark Earth.

He is... the Most Tactical Man In The World.; 6:37 PM, March 28, 2013
JustSomeGuy said...: Charles Pergiel,

The best part is the mag fumble with that 'Andrew Straight Face'...perfection.

Personally, I was tickled pink and eagerly awaiting the next gibe.

But, yeah, the clownshoes at ADE are ripe for mockery.; 6:53 AM, March 29, 2013

He could take down Gecko45.

There's a blast from the past.; 9:06 AM, March 29, 2013
Kristophr said...: Greylocke: I remember Gunkid.

He ended up in club fed for admitting he was a felon who owned firearms too many times on the internet.

I think the only reason he didn't get banned from KdT's forum was his entertainment value.

And yes, his tactical wheelbarrow and advice to use a canned M-16 as bear defense were somewhat ... memorable.; 10:09 AM, March 29, 2013

Thanks for the link to your own ADE blast from the past.

They're still around, sadly, and I've got a videocam and 20 friends hereabouts.

So one of these days some serious YouTube mockery is in order.; 2:52 AM, March 31, 2013
