War on Christmas Ornament

Gun ornament draws fire

Nothing says Christmas quite like a glittery black handgun hanging from the tree.

Urban Outfitters Inc. - no stranger to controversial products - is offering the 5-inch-long, Chinese-made gun ornament for $6 in its stores and catalogs this year.

"Bust a cap in your tree with this superglittery ornament in the shape of a handgun, complete with a satin ribbon for hanging," the online description of the revolver says. It is meant, the retailer says, as an "ironic twist" on the holidays.

But allow me to repost my song parody that I'm so proud of. :)

Deck the hall with guns and bullets
Tra-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
People who buy this all have mullets
Tra-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Don we now our camoflage
Tra-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Out into the woods in a rusty Dodge
Tra-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

Crank some Skynyrd on the stereo
Tra-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Gonna shewt us a buck or maybe a doe-oh
Tra-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Cuzin Mel has brought the beer
Tra-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Look out! We jest hit a deer!
Tra-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

Get out the truck and put 'er in back
Tra-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Didn't even take our guns off the rack
Tra-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Back to town and stop at the bar
Tra-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Sure is easy huntin' with a car
Tra-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

11. It was rhetorical.

I used to know the same kind of guys right down to the Dodge! They were South of Austin. So I was really laughing at your song, I think it's great!

10. What a lovely "HOLIDAY" ornament. But why stop there?

Why not get spent shell casings, real ak-47's, and really celebrate the NRA spirit.
