Video games, Bratz dolls, and BB Guns

by

It’s that time of year. That time when thoughts turn to Christmas. The stores will be displaying tons of toys while all the commercials on television will be of the coolest gifts for the kids and kids at heart (yes, that would be me, as my wife pointed out). It’s when our wallets are emptied faster than nearly any other time of the year.

Evach year, as the kids name off all the cool new toys they want Santa to bring, I’m reminded at just how old and out of touch I am. Whatever happened to toys like I played with when I was a kid? The answer, at least from my kids when I ask them, is that they’re ancient. Either that or they look at me like I’m crazy when I mention Lincoln Logs.

Expensive game systems and electronic gadgets tend to top the lists. That or a line of dolls called Bratz. I don’t know which is worse, an X-Box 360 costing around $400 or dolls named the very thing I hope my kids don’t turn out to be. I have to admit, I think I’d play with the X-Box, too. The Bratz dolls though, not so much so.

This year is a treat though. My eight year-old is getting a BB Gun for Christmas. Now that’s a cool gift!

After showing a growing interest in hunting, my wife and I decided that it would be a good idea to get him a BB gun of his own. Since he is interested in it, then he needs to start learning about guns and the responsibility that goes along with having one. Although after the lecture of do’s and don’ts from me and his mom, I don’t know if he’ll be as excited anymore. He may be wishing he’d gotten the X-Box instead.

I’ve always felt that knowledge of guns is an important thing to teach kids when they are young. If they learn how to properly handle them and the dangers of them, they are less likely to do something stupid with them later on. Luckily, my wife agrees with that, only because she knows how responsible I am with them and that it will be passed on to our son.

And I have to admit, it is one big Christmas present for me as well. I get to pass along my knowledge to my boy. And, hopefully, that will open the door to teaching him about the long and rich history of hunting. While I love playing video games with him, I’d love numerous father-son hunts over the years even more.

Now I just have to convince my ten year-old daughter that hunting is cooler than Bratz dolls and wait a couple more years so my four year-old can join us.

    There was this guy see.
    He wasn’t very bright and he reached his adult life without ever having learned “the facts”.
    Somehow, it gets to be his wedding day.
    While he is walking down the isle, his father tugs his sleeve and says,

    “Son, when you get to the hotel room…Call me”

    Hours later he gets to the hotel room with his beautiful blushing bride and he calls his father,

    “Dad, we are the hotel, what do I do?”

    “O.K. Son, listen up, take off your clothes and get in the bed, then she should take off her clothes and get in the bed, if not help her. Then either way, ah, call me”

    A few moments later…

    “Dad we took off our clothes and we are in the bed, what do I do?”

    O.K. Son, listen up. Move real close to her and she should move real close to you, and then… Ah, call me.”

    A few moments later…

    “DAD! WE TOOK OFF OUR CLOTHES, GOT IN THE BED AND MOVED REAL CLOSE, WHAT DO I DO???”

    “O.K. Son, Listen up, this is the most important part. Stick the long part of your body into the place where she goes to the bathroom.”

    A few moments later…

    “Dad, I’ve got my foot in the toilet, what do I do?”

    Новый способ давления на кандидата на пост Главы г. Химки

    Новый способ “наказать” тех, кто посмел участвовать в выборной кампании не на стороне действующей власти изобрели правоохранительные органы г.о. Химки.
    Руководствуясь не нормой закона, а чьей-то “волей” сотрудники милиции решили “проверить” все фирмы, внесшие денежные средства в избирательный фонд неудобных кандидатов.
    Начались “проверки” с телефонных звонков - где директор, сколько человек работает на фирме. После чего последовали “письма счастья” с просьбой предоставить всю бухгалтерскую документацию, учредительные документы фирмы, и даже, план экспликации БТИ.
    Такие запросы химкинским фирмам рассылает 1 отдел Оперативно-розыскной части № 9 Управления по налоговым преступлениям ГУВД Московской области за подписью начальника подполковника милиции Д.В. Языкова.
    И всё это в то время, когда Президент дал прямое указание правоохранительным органам о прекращении всех незаконных проверок малого и среднего бизнеса. С это целью внесены изменения в Федеральный закон “О милиции” - из статьи 11 этого закона исключены пункты 25 и 35, на основании которых ранее правоохранительные органы имели право проверять финансово-хозяйственную деятельность предприятий.
    Видно, об изменениях действующего законодательства местные правоохранительные органы не уведомлены. И не смотрят телепередачи с выступлениями Президента.
    Может быть, эта публикация подвигнет их к исполнению указаний Президента, а также к изучению и соблюдению действующего законодательства
