5 Worst Excuses For Being Late For School
In order of implausibility:
- “My little sister hid my backpack.”
- “The dog wouldn’t move away from lying in front of my dad’s car.”
- “It was the Russians.”
- “I had a panic attack because Donald Trump is President.”
…and the absolute worst reason for being late for school:
- “My gym teacher just wouldn’t let me get out of bed this morning.”

When The Impossible Becomes Everyday
We are constantly being told by the Left that we need to adopt the stricter gun laws of other countries — the U.K. and Australia spring to mind — because their gunshot violence rates are so much lower than ours Over Here.
Two men in their 20s are taken to hospital after being shot outside Mile End Tube station as London’s crime epidemic continues
…and this:
Mother of a student shot and stabbed to death on a night out says she is “completely heartbroken”. His death is one of eight murders in London in a week and has sparked warnings that the capital could see a record number of killings in 2018.
Technically, of course, with handgun ownership almost completely banned in the U.K., this kind of thing should never, ever happen. Technically, Britain’s gunshot violence rate involving handguns should equal zero — but of course, it doesn’t.
And if we take the spate of acid-tossing incidents in Britain — where young thugs simply use sulphuric- or hydrochloric acid as their weapon of choice, the violent crime rate is absolutely staggering. (Yeah, having acid thrown in your face is so much better than being threatened with a gun.)
But when confronted with these facts, the Left just shrugs because as with all things Lefty, the intent is what’s important; the outcome is irrelevant. It doesn’t matter if people die or are horribly disfigured as long as the principle (of public disarmament) is laudable.
I wonder just how many of these British criminals would be so brazen if there was a good chance they’d be shot dead by lawfully-armed citizens… oh hell, we all know the answer to that. It’s only the Left who would be wailing about “pitched gun battles” and “Wild West shoot-outs” (when in fact, the violent crime rate in America’s Wild West days — where almost every man carried a gun — was considerably lower than today’s).
Which reminds me: it’s almost time to head off to the range.
Quote Of The Day
From Glenn Reynolds:
“Anti-gun groups have lots of money, lots of organization, and lots and lots of media help. What they don’t have is lots of supporters. “
…a.k.a. voters, which is what drives them crazy when they do all their “Ban this! and ban that!” screaming and nothing happens.
Quote Of The Day
From the Knuckledragger:
“One box [of coffee pods] lasts us about 3 weeks give or take a day or two, so once a month I make a run down to Gallatin to buy coffee, pay my credit union bill, then swing by Sumner Gun & Supply to buy a little something just to feel better about myself — targets, Hoppes, shit like that. You know, comfort shopping.”
I think we’ve all been there. Nothing like buying some shooting supplies to make all well with the world.
Gratuitous Gun Pic: The .22 Addiction
From Reader Mike S. cometh this silliness:
“It’s not a problem. Not at all. I can stop any time. Any time at all.”
Followed by this rather pathetic picture:
High Standards, both in name and quality, n’est-ce pas? (Not that there’s much wrong with the two Rugers at the bottom, of course.) The poor, poor man… enslaved by such a bevy of rimfire beauties.
That said: I think we’ve all been there — in my case, it’s early-twentieth century military rifles — but we all have our weaknesses. Feel free to share details of yours in Comments (or by email, should you want to include pics).
In any event, should Reader Mike ever want to divest himself of his addiction, I’m pretty sure there would be many selfless volunteers among my other Readers who would be only too willing to help him with his “problem”.
What a nice-looking collection.
