Little Republican boys should not get a Red Ryder BB gun for Christmas

[kentuck]

Because they will shoot their eye out. I have not yet completed my studies but considering the way they have handled the war in Iraq and national defense issues in general, I think there is good reason to believe that Red Ryder BB guns would cause them to be a threat to themselves and others if received as a Xmas gift....Are you listening Santa?

1. You're probably right

I mean, look what happened to L'il Beaver.

2. Hopefully both eyes.

4. Hey, now would Che approve of your wanting the little boys to shoot

both eyes out? Not that Che would avoid a fight when one was needed, but hey we're talking about little kids here. Usually when I meet nice little kids who I later see being loaded into a van with a Bush/Cheney sticker on the back -- I want to kidnap them, deprogram them, and raise them in a loving home in an ethnically mixed neighborhood and with kind lesbian 'aunts' and gay 'uncles'.

Edit: Spelling.

5. I know I know

I know I am being a little bit Grinchy :evilfrown: I'll be willing to help you deprogram them. O8)

3. i had one when i was a kid..

but that was back in the fifties, when as kids, we were still fighting the germans and the indians.

6. but that would make them unfit for the draft!

(give them to little democratic boys...maybe they'd only shoot themselves in the foot)

7. Don't you mean they'll shoot themselves in the foot?

(I know you're referring to what Cleveland believes is the greatest Christmas film ever, but I have a point)

More likely they'll try to injure themselves to keep from going to Iraq . . .

I personally know a *-licking co-worker whose son is of recruitable age (and now a licensed EMT) who "burst his eardrum" recently . . .
