Nah, I think he was in my Art Appreciation class. I was taking it because I needed a Fine Art credit; he was taking it because he wanted to be an art historian... maybe.
True story, though: I was short money for that semester's motherf****ing textbooks, so I sold a gun to pay for them. I'm down to the bare minimum: about a dozen, excluding those which belong to The Mrs. and the kids.
Oh, and a piece of personal news: the Son & Heir didn't make it onto Team USA for his Air Pistol and Free Pistol events, but he's still ranked in the top ten nationally. Maybe next time...
Majoring in something that ends in "Studies" (e.g. gender, womyns', etc.) doesn't really prepare one for many remunerative jobs (and Starbucks doesn't count, because it doesn't pay anything).
The guy in the picture is unemployable.
He has intentionally placed himself at the bottom of the food chain.
He will be eaten first.
Congrats on the Son and Heir's success in the air gun standings, Kim.
Yes, Kim, that is quite an accomplishment for Son & Heir. As I used to tell my sons when they were running competitively, "Competition is a lot tougher when all the mediocre runners (shooters) stay home."
A education is earned having a firearm is a right. Gen Y thinks they have it coming. Well there partly right, They do have something coming..
ReplyDeleteTrust me. If I could buy a gun that cost as much as an education, I wouldn't NEED an education. God, I hate this generation. And I'm 42.
ReplyDeleteThe sad part is that I bet my gun is worth more than his education.
ReplyDeleteThat would depend upon what you do with your gun.
ReplyDeleteThat guy looks like a gang member. I doubt he finished high school.

Kim, as an air pistol enthusiast I will say -- that is seriously impressive. Wow.
ReplyDeleteGetting my son his first .22 rifle this Christmas. Stoked.
