Marc said...: WRONG WRONG WRONG

Anon has it right. Marry her. Remember her birthday, favorite colors and lingerie sizes. When she's pregnant, feed her bacon.

One glorious day, she will take her grandsons shooting with their snotty friends, and out shoot all of them. And when one says "Your grandma ROCKS!", she will glow.; 23 September, 2011 08:28

JKG said...: Not only is mine an equal shot to me, but she adds a delightful little giggle every time that double-guage unloads.

Irresistible.; 23 September, 2011 15:11

Nothing sexier than a girl who can handle a shotgun. My wife enjoys shooting sporting clays with me and it is time well spent!
I concur with Alice...a wonderful photo!; 23 September, 2011 16:44
Anonymous said...: Not only is my woman proficient - she can get off the x and shoot you in the face while running full speed to her 11:00 o'clock. - without using her sights.; 23 September, 2011 17:29
Jeremiah said...: One must agree with Marc. Many men shoot, hunt and fish to escape their women. More's the pity. (For you younger chaps, "That sucks!"); 23 September, 2011 20:47
ADG said...: Firearms? Shit. I got my ass beat by the bare hands of a big ole Brigitte Nielsen-esque gal who knew some kinda chow-damn-mein hand to hand stuff at a black belt level.

Cost me 400 bucks.; 25 September, 2011 15:33

Marc- I never thought of my wife bringing me wild pig.

Alice- I think the hat suits you.

Jerome- I do like girls in berets. Regardless of religion.

JKG- See, that's just the thing that scares me.

TRVS- I hope no one was behind it.

Main Line- I posted this cover for you and Alice. Knowing you'd both like it, but no one has mentioned that glove.

Anon- I dated a girl in Colorado Springs who loved guns and Republicans. She scared the shit outta me.

Jere- I knew a couple who went camping in the winter a lot. They called each other ice hole.

ADG- YOu're the only one who gets it. Which bothers me a lot.

MB- I'm glad you didn't own a shotgun...; 26 September, 2011 10:05
