Wheeeee… it’s Monday again.

So let’s lie down and whimper in pain together:

Crossing America — 2021

Time to play this game again.

The Challenge:  You have the opportunity to go back in time, arriving on the east coast of North America circa  1650 in the early spring, and your goal is to cross the North American continent, taking as much time as you need.  When / if you reach the Pacific coastline, you’ll be transported back to the present day.  Your equipment for this journey will be as follows (taken back in the time capsule with you):

— enough provisions for the first five days’ travel
— a backpack containing some clothing essentials
— a winter coat, raincoat and boots
— waterproof sleeping bag
— an axe, and a small sharpening stone
— a couple knives
— a box of 1,000 “strike anywhere” waterproof matches
— a portable water filtration system
— a set of topographic maps of North America
— binoculars and a compass
— a current U.S. Army First Aid kit
ONE long gun (shotgun or rifle) and 200 rounds of ammo (but no scope;  and no interchangeable-barrel rifles like a Thompson Center Encore or Blaser;  drillings are acceptable, but you still only get 200 rounds of ammo, total)
ONE handgun (and 400 rounds)
ONE rimfire gun (either a rifle or handgun, with 500 rounds).

Yeah, I changed it up a little.

Once there, you’ll be given a horse, a mule and a dog or two — but apart from that, you’re on your own.  Remember you’ll be traveling through deep woods, open prairie, desert and mountains.  You may encounter hostile Indian tribes and dangerous animals en route, which should be considered when you answer the following questions (and only these):

1.  What long gun would you take back in time with you?
2.  What handgun?
3.  What rimfire?

Unlike previous surveys, I’m not going to tabulate the answers;  just have at it in Comments.  Reasons need not be given, as the choices will pretty much speak for themselves.  If you must  justify your choices, keep it short (as I have with mine).

Oh, and one last thing:  you can’t keep your previous choices of firearm;  you must find new ones.  So in my case, for example, I can’t pick the 1896 Swedish Mauser and Ruger Redhawk .357 revolver from last time — so my own new choices are below the fold.

Couples

This post was prompted by my (belated) Sunday post from earlier this week, wherein I described the BMW 507 and M1 as my choice of “companion” cars.

Which leads me to wonder the following:  if you had to pick two models from the same badge on the hood as your companion pieces, which two would you select?  (Examples:  Ford GT and F150, Mercedes G-wagen and SL*, Toyota Prius and Corolla — okay, that one’s a joke — or MGB and MG Midget, etc. )

When picking a model, be as specific as you can. — e.g. Mercedes 230 SL / Mercedes 500 SL, with the year if possible.

In addition to the BMW pair above, I’d also like the 1956 Mercedes 300S Coupe and 1964 Mercedes 230 SL:

No need to provide pics;  if I run another post later on the choices, I’ll get them myself.

News Roundup

Lotta stupid stuff to report today, same ol’ same ol’.


probably just out of curiosity;  because they sure as hell aren’t going to DO anything about it, the feckless twerps.


that “math” thing being entirely a product of White men, of course, and therefore raycisss to the core.


watch them all disappear, to reappear later taped to doorways, hanging from trees and used in place of face masks.


or what we in Normal America would call a prima facie cause for necessary self-defense.


as one wonders when or what kind of citizen response will follow — if any.


NO.  That being the answer to the question, “Can Vice-President Token get any more stupid?”



yeah, that’s going to work so well with China and India, to name but two.  Pure fantasy, like all the rest of this climate bullshitAnd then there’s this:

… LOL.  And the coup de grace:


take that, round-eyed bastards.


but the Swedes are only useful as a model for sky-high taxes, cradle-to-grave welfare systems and other Lefty tropes.  On this topic, however, they’re to be ignored as “outliers”.

From the Dept. of Total Suckage:


Graeme Edge was dubbed “Mr. Metronome” by other drummers.  R.I.P.



lessee:  guy wears a dress to a trade show, then gets all butt-hurt when he’s called “a man in a dress”?  FFS, he doesn’t even look like a chick, except maybe in certain bars in Greenwich Village.

And now for the ever-irrelevant INSIGNIFICA:

 


that would be THIS Christine McGuinness: 

 

 

…even though we’ve already seen just about every part of her exposed, we can still end on a cheery note.
