From the Department of "Not Getting It"...

Stingray and Labrat, the Atomic Nerds, attended the NRA Convention in Phoenix last week. Since they were there ostensibly as press, they foolishly bravely decided to actually commit an act of journalism (which is a hell of a lot more than you can say for the vast bulk of the alleged mainstream media these days).

Anyhoo, they stopped by the booth of H-S Precision to get an interview. You might remember that name from a contest Sebastian ran a while back because of an unfortunate endorsement they used in promotional materials (see my entry here). They had the mind-boggingly stupid choice of one Lon Horiuchi as spokeman for their rifle stocks. Needless to say, this provoked some consternation among the 2A community

Well, H-S Precision hasn't gotten any smarter, if the interview is any indication. It's bad enough that they won't acknowledge that they made a grievous error in the spokeskiller selection process, but now they're claiming that they don't do endorsements, period. Yes, H-S Precision went from being mere tone-deaf idiots to out-and-out liars.

How's that go? Oh yeah. H-S Precision. I wouldn't piss on them if they were on fire...

Good job guys.

That is all.

Jay,
If you haven't read them, the stories the good folk at Atomic Nerds tell about their cat Zydeco are legendary. Here's a sample:

Before you read this, swallow any food / drink in your mouth, then go to the bathroom, lest you risk peeing your pants. Don't say I didn't warn you.
