Week 16: Shoot A Gun

Here, we are at week 16.  More or less 4 months deep into the year; and what have we learned?

We've learned that stage fright and mercury poisoning are very real things.
We've learned that everyone will criticise your hair dye job, even though you totally know its darker.

Anyways, back to the matter at hand.  This week starts out with a bang, literally.

Actually it's still not literally ... quit misusing that word America!

Wait.  Like Pulp Fiction before us, let's cut back to the beginning.

Cue the Surf Music

Right, that there is Karthik, chess Grandmaster doing the honors this week.

This is one of those weeks where things could go any number of ways,  so save your bail money and ...

 

Let's all go to the gun range

When at the barrel of a gun
Keep my head way down.
Stay out I'll stay in.
Half dead, half numb
She's enough to make me warm
It's all so safe and sound.
-Guster, Barrel of a Gun

So Tuesday, came and with the help of two Gun Afficianados Jared and Gary  I was able to pop that Gun cherry and finally become a real American.

Pictured: Jared and Gary.  Not two random guys at the gun range.

As a bonus I can now appreciate the music of .38 special much more

I think if I Photoshopped myself out, I could claim this was a ghost.

After firing 5 guns and many many bullets, it was time to pack up, and cancel next weeks psychiatrist appointment.

I pretended he was my old Gym teacher

There we have it, another goal completed another step closer to manhood, all that's left is to wrestle a bear, and eat a 10 foot hoagie.  Until next time folks.
