Check your rural privilege

Jimminy Crickets! WHAT is THAT? An anti- aircraft gun?

Pretty sure it's a Finnish Lahti Model 39 antitank gun. 20 mm. I always wanted one, they used to be a available by mail order, back in the day.

I wonder how long it will take for my pee to go from the Neversink Reservoir to the NYT building?

Avoid the wait, send them a bottle of the pure stuff by FedEx overnight. Eat a crap-ton of asparagus first.

If I was going to make that effort a bottle wouldn't do and hoy wings and chili would be on the menu instead of asparagus

A bit of a kick on that I imagine...holy crow. By mail order?LOL. Just trying to imagine my mailman driving down the road with that thing sticking out of the back of his Taurus station wagon!

Well said, Sir.

Thanks. That means a lot coming from you good sir.

The Lahti was a 1-piece gun (about 6 feet long IIRC), from what was recounted in "Unintended Consequences", the hero, Henry, preferred the Swiss/German Solothurn because it could be broken down.

Here are some ads from"back in the day" - I remember them well - ammo available too - $1/round for 20 mm!!

Most of what I do is rant - your piece was well thought out and articulated.

I've been to many big socialist cities. They may have some more affluent people, but they have a high concentration entitlement folks too. What they don't have are natural resources or drinking water or a place for their trash or weapons or the ability to survive on their own.
I think they drastically over estimate their ability and vastly under estimate the red area's resourcefulness.

THIS is crotchety -

Henry Bowman

Exactly, although IIRC, Henry was a Solothurn man.

I'll have to look I thought it was a Lahti

RURAL PRIVILEGE! LOL. Is there anything about my existence that won't be called a privilege in the next five years? I mean really, I'm white, straight, male, and live in a rural area. I should be on easy street.

On a global scale, we are all extremely privileged. I think my "American Citizen" privilege is much greater than all the other identity wedges the left has managed to invent.

A disabled lesbian black transgender unemployed illegal mexican woman in the USA is better off than most of the people in the world. The college snowflakes would do well to remember that. They will live better than European royalty of only a couple generations ago.

So since NYC dislikes us rural upstaters, we can go ahead and drain their reservoirs that have flooded our towns and kick the NYPD out of our towns? Makes me want to take a big dump in their only source of fresh water, which by the way, interferes with our lives because of all the rules and regulations to protect their water. Screw them and their complaints.
