Standing Around, Serious Business

So, I spent a week at Disney and this is apparently the time of year when a whole lot of people from Where Great Britain Used To Be decide to come to America to eat over priced food and stand in lines waiting to get on a boat to look at robots. Yeah, they call it riding rides but a lot of rides at Disney consist of getting on a boat and looking at robots, while also playing annoying music. Where was I? Oh yeah. Brits!

Seems the Brits take this standing in line business seriously. So seriously, they’ve even come up with a verb form to indicate it as an activity other than standing around (yeah, they’re both verbs but one actually describes an action or activity). Now, sure, everyone hates when someone cuts line but the other stuff, most people don’t care about. If standing in a line in a roped off area, most people just sort of stand wherever and haphazardly meander forward whenever space opens up. But not the British. They are very focused on the line, where they are and where others should be. To your average American, it means fuck all to be standing, say, here or three feet in front of here. But this drives the Brits crazy. And, often, they’ll get a bit too close and in the personal space of someone used to carrying a gun, who’s not a fan. Oddly, they only ever seemed to yell at other Brits about it.

I guess they stand in lines a lot.

So, what did I miss?

Mostly away this past week at Disneyworldland where I apparently missed the OMG OBAMA’S COMING FOR YOUR GUNS and some sort of Big Bird reference that I still don’t get. And apparently two talking heads will read scripts err prepared statements err have a debate under the presumption anyone gives a shit who the VP is. My understanding, though, is that Obama got trounced by Romney. I guess the teleprompter was in the shop.

I’d love to hear one of the bobbleheads with an R after his name bring up Benghazi or Fast and Furious.

PDB is not a fan. I don’t happen to care for, as explained to me by someone, that they’re grip safeties tend to go tango uniform and when they do, you can’t the round out of the chamber.

Gun controllers complaining they can’t get anything done because of the gun lobby. Good.

Everything old is new again.

Hey, remember the Obama gun policy mentioned years back? Well, it’s back. Pretty much a reason not to favor a second term.

Speaking of, the Korean garands are back too.

Yeah, gun bloggers don’t really like when you steal their stuff.
