More Mayan BS if you ask me.  The SOA will take care of them big time next season.

That's right! With Jax at the helm we won't have anything to worry about from them Mayans!

I hate this time of the year, nothing but reruns on.  Oh, BTW, it's raining out.

Why?
Pieces on Earth: Christmas 2011 Saw Record Gun Sales
Nearly 30 years later, A Christmas Story is a holiday TV staple. But Americans, heedless of the film's lesson, seem determined to follow in young Ralphie's footsteps: According to the FBI, background checks on gun buyers hit a record single-month figure -- more than 1.5 million -- in December. On the day before Christmas Eve alone, 102,222 such checks were ordered, making Dec. 23, 2011 the second-busiest day in gun-buying history, after this year's Black Friday.

In all, the six days leading up to Christmas saw 500,000 background check requests.

Most would-be gun-buyers pass their checks. According to CNN, "Only 1.3% of the searches result in people being denied permission to buy a weapon."

And there's no way of knowing how many guns have been sold this holiday season, since people often buy multiple weapons at once.

My three grandsons are 8, 10, and 12 and their other grandparents bought each of them Official Red Rider BB guns, compound bows, and poison pet frogs as Christmas gifts.

WTF?    :o

I took the boys out and showed them the proper way to handle a BB gun and their bows. I ain't touching the poison frogs though!!!!!

They best be some big ordinance.  Zombies be hard to stop (notice I didn't say kill).  I've always thought why don't we have exploding bullets?  Is there such a thing?  Even in the future type horror movies with the army fighting giant bugs we're still shooting them with ordinary bullets.  Just doesn't make sense to me.  Swords on the hand are something I can wrap my hands around...

If only my hair were that straight!!  Heck, once my hair grows another foot (length duh) it will only look an inch longer.  I am wondering which conditioner would help stop the curling, any advice?
