Letters, We Get Letters...

I have the greatest readers in the gun blogosphere, you know that? I get e-mails like this one from PhillipC:

You might be a gun nut if..

You design your costume around a particular weapon in your possession.

I have an SKS, and it just seemed natural to me to go as a certain young revolutionary. Tell me if you know who I'm supposed to be, as I was surprised at the number of people who didn't.

I'm not responsible for any coffee through the nose, or need for duct tape. :-)

PhillipC

So who did Phillip go as for Halloween?

Guess Who???

Please, for the love of all that's good and holy, tell me that y'all know who Phillip is dressed as?


That is all.

Uhhhh.... Fidel Castro? Didn't he play for the Yankees in the 70's?

Barry Soetoro? Big campus radical in the early '80's. Had this commie dictator fetish... whatever happened to old Barry anyway? meh... probably knocked up some gal, married, moved to Bloomfield and got a job selling shoes.

I love happy endings like that.

Well, I know Marx had something to do with all that communist crap, but I can't remember which Marx had the beard -- Groucho, Harpo, or Chico.

Che? Che!

Just kidding. I know my Communist dictators, I had the whole collectible card set when I was a kid.

Using a real gun as a Halloween costume prop seems like a bad idea to me.

I think he's that guy from the "A Team".

Mopar said...

Wouldn't he have been more realistic if he had gone as zombie Castro?

I did not know Sotomayor owned an SKS or green fatigues.
Huh.

Heh... I was trying to figure out who had mentioned CVS, then I realized it was my friend Jen. That's where the first "Who are you?" came from.

Bad thing is, I live in Florida. I know Cubans who left the island because of Castro. I didn't think you could live here and not know of him somehow. Guess I overestimated people's grasp of recent history.

A gun with no ammo is only dangerous if you try to play with the action. Then you might get a bruised thumb with that thing. Trust me, I checked, double checked, and then checked again before I walked in the door just in case a cartridge had grown legs and crept in.

I think I'd have stuck a chamberflag in it before walking out the door, Fidel...

That's easy. General Ramon Esperanza from Die Hard 2.
