Mike has a new interest...

Guns. With the upcoming election Mike has decided to be one of the statistics of guns purchased in an election year. We are honestly nervous about what is going to happen this presidential election and have started beefing up our preparedness, just in case. So Mike is convinced that he will need a gun to defend us (or our food storage) and has decided to try some out. A friend of ours is a member of a gun club and took Mike shooting on Saturday night. He really enjoyed himself and looked good doing it! We'll see how things play out with this whole thing. Here is a picture of Mike to enjoy (but not too much ladies, I saw him first.)

Janet said...: wait, Greece is already taken- we'd have to change the name....maybe Roofus? Or Twiggy? Or Calvinandhobbes?; October 20, 2008 at 10:41 AM
Sher said...: hmm...not a bad idea. my hubby hunts so he has a rifle and bow! so i guess we're armed and ready too. lol. thanks for the comment. luckily i don't see this 'friend' of mine that often. she did somewhat apologize, but the thing is i have to make my thoughts/opinions known, i cannot and will not hold them in, even if i'm mocked/ridiculed etc. cheers!

GFP said...: Your husband sounds like a crack head! I say Greece becomes it's own country, renamed to Crackland, and your (fabulously hot) husband is the king! Speaking of kings, the king salmon are probably in the cricks.....time to go fishing!; October 22, 2008 at 1:28 PM
A.Pandina said...: We totally agree in this house, as we both have our pistol permits. Nick is convinced that something will change with this new election and he is stockpiling the ammo. I think it's weird, but maybe he's haveing a premonition. We'll find out...; October 25, 2008 at 4:29 PM
Roxie said...: I learned how to shoot a gun when I was in high school, and haven't done it since. Maybe I should pick it back up again.....; October 25, 2008 at 9:53 PM
GFP said...: Lock and load Roxie, lock and load!; October 25, 2008 at 11:33 PM
Brian said...: Darn... Now I'm going to have to get a Passport and Visa for Guys, Flies and Pies!

HARVEY FOR PRESIDENT!!!; November 1, 2008 at 9:33 PM
