In the past, people would ask me advice on how to become a reasonably popular blog and I’d tell them to 1) travel back in time to 2001; and 2) be a chick.
There’s another way: Negligently discharge a firearm and blog about it. Some good discussion and comments:
Did the same thing years ago with a 1911. Decided cocked and locked was the better way to go. Was following Rule # 1 at the time. All three children slept through the incident.
With the recent surge of people buying guns, I’m thinking the accidentally discharging a weapon is going to occur more frequently…good result in a few great blogs.

Probably would have been even more popular if you had shot yourself in the foot. Not really recommended, though. Popularity is overrated.

You forgot 3) Post pictures of yourself. =)

Particularly true if you’re a chick Rusty.

Had and AD myself the other day. Luckily the weapon was pointed up. Pretty dumb move in any case.

4) Witty original content, not just an end less series of links. 😉

i’ll aim to stick to 1 out of 3 …. travelling back in time is just way too difficult and i’m going to try real hard to avoid an ND ever.
