The Perils of Speed Reading

By lex, on February 22nd, 2012

When I read this post from the Prof on the issue of Starbucks becoming the darling of American gun owners, I kind of had this image in mind.

Or maybe this one.

Turns out, no.

It was the other one.

    Story. I worked with this petite redhead. about as cute as
    they got, plus she was a morally upright decent lady.We worked as a Team in this air charter outfit,and we
    were good friends (still are) and nothing else.She also could drive nails with a Ruger.357mag. Well, the Chief pilot thought he could ah arrange a little overnighter with
    her on a O.T. trip to the garden spot of Idaho Falls.
    Upon arrival the Chief P. who had the sex appeal of “A
    horny Walrus” ( her words.) said “Gee we have rooms adjoining,how ’bout that!” She noticed that there was a door
    between the rooms (it didn’t lock for some unknown reason,)
    so she proceeded to make sure the .357 was on the night stand. as she turned the out the door slowly crept open.
    the Chief P. was standing there, in his boxers (With hearts
    on them) and she turned on the lights with her hands holding the .357 pointed at his ah, nether regions.
    Sort of “Reverse Viagra”….

    Why is it the ones that are completely batty also seem to be sort of, umm… hawt?

    Bought my first Starbucks last week as a way to support their stance, which is in all reality simply not to take a side. Even made certain to wear the combat tupperware, in the spirit of the struggle and all that. Which made no difference — South Dakota is a CCW state and I’m not one to advertise, nor are others to concern themselves. Not certain it was worth drinking what they gave me, me being a “float a horseshoe” sort of guy when it comes to coffee, but there it was. I’d done my part.

    The funny thing is, Starbucks gets all this attention because they refused to post signs telling people they could not openly carry in their property where it was otherwise legal to do so on public property. In other words, the anti-gun side is upset Starbucks will not deny a right that can be exercised in the public square. Anybody who thinks they own their own property, that their home is their castle and they are master of their domain, better look at who is behind this. There’s a lot of things they are against. Chances are you might enjoy a few of them.

    I may try this in Starbucks of Norwich,
    http://www.actionforaccess.org/1708/all-surveys/starbucks-norwich.html
    but the Model 1911 ACP I’ll have strapped to my right hip will have to be a plastic replica with a red band around the muzzle, because metal replicas are also illegal over here. You should read about me in the local papers, because I will undoubtedly attract the attention of a Norfolk Constabulary ARV (armed response vehicle), a cordoned off street, a contact via loud hailer followed by a spell in custody before being charged with a criminal offence. Hey ho!

    That was the one thing I loved about Israel: hot chicks with Uzis! I’ve always had a thing for brunettes. I’ve always had a thing for guns. Combine them together and you get a serious dose of awesome.

    I’m really shocked by Starbucks’ stance on this. I thought they were a company run for and by leftist weenies. I never got the whole $4 cup of coffee with whipped creme movement anyhow. I tried to order a plain cup of coffee there one time. It wasn’t pretty.

    I’ll take mine from Krispy Kreme or Dunkin, thank you.

    Just a danka to Lex for making me adjust my opinion of BSG as some claymation show on an obscure network. Watched the whole series over the course of four months on Netflix, and it was quite enjoyable.

    Did not notice any coffee shops.

    I go there for a hot cocoa on occasion. There was a movement to use $2 bills at Starbucks to symbolize our thanks for supporting the 2nd Amendment. Usually one of the tellers at your bank will have some in their drawer. I often have a few, along with some $1 coins for family poker games.

    Katie Sackhoff’s Starbuck far exceeds Richard Hatch’s version, all I have to say.

    I read about the Starbuck – Guns thing and meant to stop by there but I don’t drink coffee and I am trying to stay away from the carbs (my diabetes has finally scared me) but when I saw Lex’s headline I thought of last nights episode of “Modern Family” wherein the pretty blond house wife (Julie Bowen)confesses to Sofia Vergara (my first wife looks just like her!) that she hasn’t been going to yoga, she’s been sneaking off to the range to bust some caps. Sofia is not impressed with her skills. Very Funny show if you can catch it.
