Christmas and six shooters

What's a guy got to do to buy his sons some toy guns for Christmas? Read this great post from Tony Woodlief via Instapundit to find out.

Hmm...How long do you give before A Christmas Story, complete with Ralphie's quest for a Red Ryder BB gun, comes under fire (pun intended) from the PC crowd?

Just a thought...Was America more violent back in the 40s and 50s when kids were firing toy pistols at one another? Scratching head...Ssssooo thennnn...it's not the toy pistols?

Do you think if Snoop Dogg were as hard to find as cowboy guns then we might finally be on to something?

Oh Where or where are the Rumpus Bloggers?
We are washed away in a Southern California torrential rainstorm. Stewdogg spent from 4 to 8 am bailing out his little basement. Kate Marie saw all that water and decided to re baptise both girls. Wonderdog was celebrating Kwanzaa and had a few too many Couvasiers.
I think we are all just decompressing after Christmas.
As the Mom in For Better or For Worse said, "My peace on earth begins on 12/26.
Love and best to all from the Stewdog.

Sorry to hear about your water troubles. I thought "it never rains in Southern California" -- or was that just some lyric I've heard. Hope you get your basement dry, Stewdog. You going to send someone out to rescue Wonderdog from the Kwanzaa-ites?

Looks like we chose a great year to stay home for Christmas. It was good to finally celebrate after all those bleak weeks of Advent preparation. The priests tell me we now can celebrate Christmas until January 9. Alas, I may be the ONLY one celebrating that late into the new year.

Too bad homemade eggnog is off limits now (raw eggs and salmonella, alas), as I've got a stonking good recipe for eggnog that involves liberal amounts of bourbon. I bet it's better than anything Wonderdog is drinking.

"Liberal" amounts of Bourbon? Not on our blog.
The rest of that lyric is "It POURS, man. . it Pours"!

Oops. The "L" word was a faux pas. Ack! The French was a mistake, too! So, let's change the above comment to say "a very large quantity of bourbon." I think bourbon is a conservative distilled spirit by its very nature.

Happy New Year to you, Conservative in VA!! It's still raining but all is well. Besides, I've heard Stewdog uses the rain as an opportunity to shower so rain every few days will do us ALL some good! (Love ya, Stewey!)
Hopefully, we'll try to get back into the swing of things soon... Hopefully.

P.s. You aren't the ONLY one still celebrating Christmas!
