Anther Product of “Why?”

The Manchester Republican Committee has planned a fundraiser in New Hampshire (august 5th, 2007) which will take aim at promoting gun ownership in America by letting supporters fire powerful military-style weapons -- Uzi submachine guns to M-16 rifles.

According to organizer Jerry Thibodeau all party members and their families have been invited to the "Machine Gun Shoot" where, for $25, supporters of all ages can spend a day trying out automatic weapons. I wonder if a map to their local emergency room and a trailer trash cowboy hat purchased from Wal-Mart will be given to everyone as they enter the event. Because everyone needs a Uzi submachine gun for necessary tasks such as

• Self defense
• Protecting the first free public library in the untied states
• Participating in the ever so popular shoot up beer bottle boredom
• Hunting blue butterflies, lynxs, bald eagle and Atlantic salmon all of which are on the state's endangered species list.

That's what Uzi submachine guns are for, right?

"It's a fun day. It's a family day," said Jerry Thibodeau of the upcoming August 5 event. "It's quite exciting."


Now I'm not all in favor of the Democrats but I just gotta support local Democrat views when they say the event is 'in poor taste amid a spike in violent crime in Manchester and seeks to glorify the use of machine guns for political gain. '

Thibodeau said he invited all the Republican candidates in the 2008 presidential race to the event at Pelham Fish and Game Club outside of Manchester, the state's largest city, but he said they declined. New Hampshire is also is internationally famous for the New Hampshire primary, the first primary in the quadrennial American presidential election cycle. That must be the most nerve wacking event for the candidates… which I would think has nothing to do with the event itself considering that buying a gun in New Hampshire, whose official motto is "Live Free or Die," is relatively easy.


New Hampshire does not require buyers to obtain a handgun license or undergo safety training before buying a handgun but Jerry Thibodeau assured those who inquired that all shooters would undergo training.

I have never been so thoroughly glad and safe to be living in California until this moment… yes even with the knowledge that the major of gun sales is illegal.


To all New Hampshire residents: California is FULL try Utah


Press Release: Pelham Fish and Game Club, Inc. will provide the venue for MRC (Manchester Republican Committee) event.

This Means (Water) War!

The biggest water fight that exists (that I found) is the Thingyan holiday, aka “the water festival” in Myanmar. It’s celebrated over the course of 5 days in April according to the Buddhist calendar and is the most important holiday of the year. In the past, it was a traditional part of the festival to sprinkle water into a silver bowl, to metaphorically “wash away ones sins” before the beginning of the new year. However, this has morphed into an all out water fight involving buckets, hoses, and water guns that persists throughout all 5 days.

From my research - During the 5-day celebration there are people everywhere on every street with buckets, hoses and water guns just waiting for someone to walk or drive by. For the exception of monks, it's said that no one is exempt. Women, young children, the elderly, a car with a window rolled down, everyone gets a bucket of water poured on them if they are out in public. Foreigners are especially popular to douse and when a foreigner is spotted word goes out quickly in the surrounding area so they can have their water-spraying implement ready to begin an active pursuit of the targets.

Any downers to this?

During the festival everything shuts down - the markets, many restaurants and shops, transportation in and out of town… so you can get stuck in Mandalay or Yangon for the full 5 days. This can mean that during the festival you cannot leave your guesthouse or hotel without getting soaked, and the water used is not clear or clean.

Some guests may feel trapped in the hotel room because you don’t want to get your last dry t-shirt soaking wet. On the other hand where else you can go in the world and be able to carry a Super Soaker drenching anyone, anywhere without violating some social norms and/or getting arrested?

In the states

Kiss of Death has become a cult obsession among Peter Pan syndrome Los Angelenos. The game’s founder is even considering a reality show based on the game. Kiss of Death is an intricately planned version of hide-and-seek using the city as the “playing field.” No one is “safe” anywhere or at any time. Players sign up at the StreetWars website; they then receive a packet containing the name, contact information, home and work addresses, and a photo of their intended target. The mission: to “assassinate” them with a water gun, and ultimately, to be the last dry person standing. KOD players are cutthroat. One player brags about anther who was water assassinated because she thought she was going a job interview at a movie studio only to get to the lot and be “killed” by her “assassin”.

Remember those tiny, translucent-plastic squirt guns you ran around with as a kid? Filling them from the water hose faucet and splashing your friends from a foot away with water wounds that could easily be treated with a couple of sheets of paper towels. Yea, they were cute.

Today's water war technology leaves those discount store pistols in the past along with Lincoln Logs and Cabbage Patch dolls. Instead of a silly little splash of water, today’s water weaponry launches a 20-ounce surge of water in a mere second or maintains a 40-foot stream for a full 30 seconds that is anything but a splash of water. Forget the paper towels; bring a few terry cloth beach towels and a change of clothing. The “toys” of today have names like Super Soaker, Water Balloon Slingshot, Flash Flood and Stream Machine which shoots water up to 70 feet! These are nothing less than implements of modern (water) warfare meant for serious water fights.

If you're looking for the right sidearm to lead a platoon into water combat, ready to sign up to be a water assassin or if you just need to defend yourself from the nasty neighborhood girls (or boys), grab one of the latest modern (water) warfare weaponries of today and suite up for war!
