Aggies in Stillwater culture shocking everyone!!!




For those that don't know, FH stands for Farm House, the fraternity's yard it was in. There is another ag fraternity two blocks away known to have more fun. A natural ongoing rivalry.
More than likely the cow was already dead. No blood at cut. Cut was low, but probably performed to let pressure off from being dead and gassed up.
Animal House was probably not a good introduction video for pledges to watch.
I think it is hilarious, but the world will be offended.
Glad my kids are not in that other fraternity because I actually encouraged them to look into it.

Getting Started with a Wind Meter

Reading the wind is one of the bedrock skills of long-range shooting. It, along with range estimation and good firing technique, make up the foundation of long-range precision shooting, the base upon which nearly all advanced skills build.



In days past, making wind calls was as much art as skill, and it could only be learned by doing it. You made a guess, fired a shot, watched where it hit, and used that information to correct your estimate—rinse and repeat, until your guesses become consistent.



Luckily for modern shooters, we now have tools available to us that make this process quite a bit easier, although there is still a bit of a learning curve. A good wind meter takes much of the guesswork out of your wind calls and provides you with the information you need to true your ballistic calculator, hold for wind properly, and land more hits.

Mark Kelly Whips Up Fear of ‘Gas-Operated’ AR-15s: Here’s Why that Doesn’t Mean Anything


Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) is pushing a ban on AR-15s by focusing on their gas operation system approximately 64 years after the gun’s design included such a system.

Breitbart News reported that Sen. Angus King (I-ME) and a group of Senate Democrats, including Kelly, introduced an AR-15 ban early Thursday. In so doing, they used new catchphrases such as “lethal capacity weapons” and “gas-operated semiautomatic.”

Later Thursday, Kelly posted a video on X in which he continued to emphasize the new catchphrases by explaining that this latest attempt to ban AR-15s and similar rifles “focuses on the lethality of their internal mechanisms.”

He described the proposed ban as a “renewed effort” and explained that the firearms he wants to ban are “semiautomatic, gas-operated rifles.” He did not mention that the gas operation of an AR-15 is nothing new. In fact, it is about 64 years old if we date it back to 1959, when Colt acquired the license to manufacture the rifle.

By design, an AR uses gas emitted from a spent round, directing the gas to the bolt carrier group to reset it, at which time another round is chambered and ready to be fired with the next trigger pull. Non-gas-operated semiautomatics operate off recoil, with the action of the gun, such as a 9mm pistol, cycling as a result of the energy pushed backward during the process of firing a round.

Using the “gas operated” designation for an AR-15 does not change the fact that an AR-15 is a semiautomatic firearm that shoots one round–and one round only–per trigger pull.

Moreover, designating a gun ban as a prohibition against “semiautomatic, gas-operated rifles” just means it is a ban targeting the same guns all other “assault weapons” bans have targeted.

2A News Update: SCOTUS Justice Barrett considers hearing IL AWB case, requests immediate briefing

Case in question is Bevis v Naperville, IL which originally was filed against the City of Naperville and their local firearm & magazine ban, then expanded to include PICA / State of IL AWB.

Justice Barrett immediately requested a briefing, due Dec 6 5pm EST.

The SCOTUS docket is available at: https://www.supremecourt.gov/search.aspx?filename=/docket/docketfiles/html/public/23a486.html

This will be one week ahead of the case in the IL Southern District to address the question of the registration component. This case is under Judge McGlynn, who previously issued a state-wide injunction against PICA, resulting in Illinois "Freedom Week". Arguments are set for Dec 12.

My response: It’s magazine, not “clips” and no, I don’t. And I don’t even know what that is. Lol. It looks like a Browning clone. But who knows.

Wife: It’s a 9mm

Me: That’s the caliber. Not the model of pistol. That same model pistol can, and likely does, come in several calibers like 9mm Parabelum, .40 auto, .380 auto or even another similar but not the same 9mm Makarov.

Wife: Ok he asked if you had any he list the mag for it

Me: Each model generally takes its own magazine and is not universal

Wife: He’s said it was a 9mm

Me: I can see it’s 9mm Parabellum. It’s etched on the side.

Wife: Ok should I send him to mile high

Me: No. It’s an odd model. It “might” take a Browning Hi Power magazine. He needs to go to someone who specializes is specialized guns. Maybe a
Start on the internet and figure out what it is exactly and what magazines will work with it.

Wife: k

Me: Then find a gun store that kniws about oddball shit. Most gun stores don’t do that. He might find a guy working the counter who may know. But most don’t know shit to begin with. It’s embarrassing actually

WTF is with the Spanish Commercials on my TV all the time?

So not only are all TV ads now made up of fags and LBP's... My "English" TV channels are being saturated with Spanish Ads.

FUCK THAT SHIT... State Farm and Verizon are the worst. Woke POS companies that somehow think they will get 'woke cred' by dropping a foreign language on my TV dozens of times a day? There are only about 40 spanish channels for those who won't learn English or 'integrate.' Every minority group now has 10 radio stations. Goatfucker radio is a thing...

Here's some news State Farm.... I don't want to be part of a risk pool made up of illegals who can't even read a street sign! Hey Verizon... you telling me my rates are now based on paying for millions of illegal phones and an ad campaign aimed at people who were felons the instant they stepped North of the Rio Grande?

Endless drip drip of destroying America and a culture that created the very companies that these clowns are using as bludgeons against the West.

Fuck them all. Get this shit off my TV or the TV goes away. And if mine goes away, I am betting millions more do the same.

Shane MacGowan of the Pogues has died.

I was thinking about him and the song Dirty Old Town and in fact was singing it to myself yesterday while running my backhoe. I thought 'I guess this will be the song for the day.' This is not the first time I've gotten these premonitions.

Then I read today where he passed away from Encephalitis. The guy was a alcoholic wreck but a songwriting genius and poet that united the Irish with his hardscrabble songs. And fight over the drop of a hat. True Irish.

Here is a Shane MacGowan story by Keifer Sutherand. "Sutherland was touring Ireland on his own. He was sitting at the bar in Lillie's Bordello in Dublin having a drink. Sinead O'Connor spotted him and invited him to the VIP room. Van Morisson, Ronnie Wood, and some other Irish musicians were hanging out. MacGowan & Sutherland started talking about Scottish history, which became an argument. Next thing he knew Shane attacked him and they went to the floor fighting. Sutherland said Shane already had a broken arm in a cast, and he didn't want to hurt him. The other celebs were watching and cracking up, probably used to Shane's antics. They broke it up, and Sutherland went back to the bar by himself. Awhile later, the bar was closing and Sutherland was getting ready to leave. He felt a tap on his shoulder, and it was Shane. "I need to stay at your hotel with you" he slurred. He didn't have a ride home! :LOL: Sutherland agreed, but thought to himself what a shit-show this was going to be, getting this wreck out in the morning. He went to sleep, and when he awoke at 5 am, he looked over and Shane was gone, and the bed was neatly made. There was a note left on the desk. Sutherland won't reveal what it said, (it's between him & Shane) but he said it was the most beautiful, well-written thing he had ever read. Life-changing even."

RIP Shane
