s Gardens and Gun. A magazine for people who love to shoot things in a plot of cucumbers.
First, let me answer a few questions you might have regarding the title of this post:
1: Yes, Garden and Gun is a real magazine currently, if not surprisingly, in publication.
2: The equal number of males and females over the age of 48 that subscribe to Garden and Gun have a net worth of nearly $2m(yes, millions). G&G readers have the means – and the motivation to live well! According to a direct quote from the Garden and Gun website.
3: Yes, Garden and Gun is a real magazine. (See #1).
If you’re still not convinced that Garden and Gun is a real magazine, just listen to this testimonial from a G&G subscriber as she describes the feeling she gets when her new issue of Gardens and Gun has arrived at the doorstep of her beautifully restored early 18th century Georgia mansion that once belonged to a plantation owner:
Last night as we walked into the house, my husband grabbed the mail and said” G&G came today.” Elation ran from the top of my head to my toes with a flutter stop in my chest. I heart this magazine. It give the South that I love a voice.
And that voice says “I am a woman (or a refined man) who can shoot anything that wanders into my victory garden in the head with my .38 Special, remove the shrapnel in record time then, fry it up in a pan and serve it for dinner.
This is a magazine for the Enjoli Woman. If you’re not her, then step…
Ted Williams Gun Cabinets. Approved by Ted Williams. From page 1202 of the 1974 Sears Fall/Winter Catalog.
This week’s Sears ‘74 is a nostalgic doozy for yours truly. Growing up in Boston, I idolized (and still do) the Boston Red Sox(yes, really), and routinely prayed at the Church of Ted Williams, one of the greatest baseball players of all time. After Williams left the Sox to pursue other sports related ventures, he got into bed with Sears and created a line of various Guns. More specifically, shotguns.
Ted’s Shotgun line for Sears included but was not limited to the single-shot, double barrel, 12-gauge, semi-automatic and pump-action shotguns just to name a few. Of course, all those guns needed somewhere safe to hang out, so Ted also created a signature line of Gun Cabinets for Sears, pictured above.
You can see some of Ted’s Over-and-Under boom-sticks after the jump…
This intentionally hilarious headline from The Huffington Post actually delayed my “terror level elevated” reaction to the news that Dick Cheney might be considering a 2012 Presidential run. True story…
The ArizonaSenate has passed a law backed by the cold, dead hands of the NRAthat would allow people with concealed-weapons permits to bring their guns into establishments that serve alcohol. It’s expected that Arizona’sRepublican GovernorJan Brewer will make the law official this Wednesday. The law specifies that while patrons may carry weapons into places like TGI Friday’s, they will not be allowed to consume alcohol while on the premises. 138,350 Arizona residents have concealed-weapons permits. Restaurants and bar owners who do not want pistol packing patrons on their property will be required to post signs banning them from their business.
Tennessee passed a similar law earlier this year and 41 other U.S. states (!) now allow guns to be carried into places that also serve hooch.
Thunderwear, it’s underwear that’s fun to wear! Thunderwear for women brief/gun holster.
Have you ever wanted to stick your 38 Special in your crotch, but worry it would just feel too uncomfortable? Well, get ready to conceal your killin’ stick in your pants comfortably and worry free!
Thunderwear will not interfere with normal or rigorous activity. When you sit down, the weapon fits down comfortably between your legs. “Sensitive” body parts are behind the bulk of the weapon. Worn on top of the underwear and shirt, but under your trousers. Be as active as you want without ever having to adjust your holster.
During his 43 years as a hitman for the mob, Kuklinski proudly estimated that he murdered over 200 people. If you’ve never seen the HBO Undercover about Kuklinski or read Carlo’s book, you probably sleep better than I do.
Is there something wrong with me if I find this bizarre gun tattoo kind of hot? Anyway, like you, I’m guessing there’s more to this tattoo. I’m just not too sure I want to see it.
Joe Perry likes to kill his own food. Food tastes better when you kill it yourself, doesn’t it? For LP.
In the August issue of Outdoor Life, Joe Perry admitted to his lifelong love of hunting. In the interview, Perry also confesses that he owns 40 or 50 (what he’s not counting?) handguns as well as other vintage flintlocks and rifles. Perry has even been hunting with Sarah Palin’s biggest fan, “conservationist”Ted Nugent. Sez The Perry:
Hunters are conservationists and their heads are in the right place. I’ve hunted with Ted (Nugent) and he’s just amazing, When it comes to walking around in the woods with Ted, you always learn something.
Queue Peta SVP Lisa Lange and her angry vegan keyboard in 3, 2, 1…:
People who take out their aggressions and frustrations on helpless animals are usually compensating for other shortcomings in their life. We don’t know how Joe measures up, but it’s interesting that he seems to feel so satisfied when he’s handling long phallic-looking weapons.
You know, I have to admit, when Iread Perry’s interview I was kind of surprised. It’s hard to believe that Perry, a Republican that voted for John McCain in 2009 would actually turn out to be a gun enthusiast Friend of Ted. Seriously people, until Joe goes deep into the right-wing abyss and starts writing books about how to change the the world for the better through the power of God, guns, and rock “n” roll, I’m not going to sell him down the river. I am however going to avoid the woods of New Hampshire while wearing my deer antler helmet.
Happy Birthday Joe! I hope you blew out the candles on your birthday cake with your mouth this year…
Trailer for the 1974 movie, Zardoz staring Sean Connery. How Connery came back from this flick to play Bond again in 1983’s Never Say Never Again, is beyond me.
Welcome to the very sexy, shirtless, NRA loving future world of Zardoz. A world where guns outnumber shirts (and proper pants for that matter) by at least 50 to 1. And, because I know it crossed your mind already, Charlton Heston was busy trying to convince a post-apocalyptic world that Soylent Green is PEOPLE!, so Zardoz director John Boorman(Deliverance) naturally went with Connery. That’s my theory anyway, and I’m sticking to it.
Dr. Pepper Schwartz, Professor of Sociology at the University of Washington in Seattle, wrote a dead-on take on what makes Sarah Palin tick. Or should I say, why this bitch ticks us off so much. Below, Schwartz delves into Palin’s recent rambling resignation speech to make a point regarding one of Palin’s key downfalls; her extreme narcissism:
Her speech about “Not being a quitter” just because she was deserting the governor’s office in mid-term, was a miracle of contempt for her audience. Her desire to stay on the road and in the spotlight without consideration for her large young family, a special needs baby and a teenage mother of her grandchild, is ambition without the slightest nod to other’s needs. She is as ruthlessly self-indulgent and narcissistic as any man ever born. She reconfigures my previous thinking about gender and narcissism.
This article really struck a cord with me, especially since “Screech”(as my liberal-minded Father refers to her) was just on the cover of TIME Magazine with the words “THE RENEGADE” emblazoned across her photo. A word generally reserved for a higher echelon of human being. People like MLK, Nelson Mandela or Ghandi. Is Sarah Palin a renegade? Only when it comes to her unfiltered, non-fact-based communication style and her penchant for shooting stuff. An activity generally reserved for her male counterparts. Or Dick Cheney.
I implore you to read the rest of Dr. Schwartz’s article, and then figure out what you will personally do to ensure this woman gets nowhere near the White House (or any other house with a zip code outside of Alaska actually) in 2012.
Thanks to AFJ for the fascinating, yet horrifying link…
Mark Muller of Max Motors. Quite possibly the biggest douche of the week. And it’s only Monday.
A few years ago, Max Motors in Kansas City held a “buy a car, get a handgun” promotion. The promotion was a success so this year, the Max Motors decided to offer free AK-47 to customers who purchase an automobile from the dealership.
According to Mark Muller, the President of Max Motors, customers will receive a voucher to a local gun store. Redemption of the voucher will be subject to a standard gun purchase background check. Muller says this is to ensure the AK falls into the (not a typo) “right hands”.
Now get this, at about 1:18 into this video, in what can only be described as one of the classiest moves by a used car salesman (and that’s saying something) Muller justified his company’s AK-47 promotion with this wild statement regarding Byrd and Melanie Billings. The couple that were murdered in their Florida home last week while eight of their 14 adopted children were at home. Says Muller:
How about that guy that just had him and his wife that had the 12 children (the couple actually had 16 children, 14 of which were adopted) with the seven guys coming through the door, I guarantee that guy (presumably Muller is referring to Byrd Billings) wished he had an AK-47 (right, except “that guys” dead so now we’ll never know).
And I guarantee that Mark Muller just reserved his spot in Hell right next toTed Nugent.
Glenn Beck and Michael Scheuer send the Fox New bat signal to Osama Bin Laden.
Michael Scheuer is not only a professional douchebag, he’s also an ex CIA agent who led various CIA divisions dedicated to Bin Laden. In a videotaped message from 2007, Bin Laden himself referenced Scheuer and his book, Imperial Huberis.
Valay Shende is a 29 year old sculptor based in Mumbai. If you look closely at Shende’sGun, you will notice that both barrels of the weapon point in opposite directions, making the killer a victim by his own hand. Divinity symbolism is found in much of Shende’s work. For instance, in this photo, you can get a closer look at the religious symbols that adorn the top of every metal discs that makes up Gun. In Buddah Right, Marx Wrong, a car covered with logos from large corporations like Shell, Apple and McDonlads, hurtles toward a life-size gilded Buddah.
29 year old Stefan Strumbel of Germany, a former graffiti artist, is responsible for the gloriously evil Cuckoo-Clock (and many others like it), pictured above.
