Weird things I learned yesterday on Facebook and other places

O Tannenbaum isn't a Christmas song. It refers to a pagan relationship with a fir tree, a very faithful fir tree. The tune is used as the official State Song of Florida, Iowa, Maryland, and Michigan. A German version of On Top of Old Smoky.



On Facebook, I learned about how our feelings created thoughts which really pissed me off. But, I thought about it before I got angry. Then, I learned that I have no common ground with others because I'm too emotional. Now that I knew how to handle. I told the deeply conflicted self appointed second coming of Christ that if he feels like I'm pissing on him, it's because I am.

He's still overthinking that one.

I lost my cool again over the sound byte, If we ban guns, only criminals will have guns.

Who the frack are these criminals? Do they run red lights for jollies while waiting for the coming gun ban? Maybe they speed down the interstate at 73 mph in the 65 mph zones. So what are the criminals doing now? You know as well as I do.

The quote has nothing to do with existing criminals. It's a threat, a very violent threat. "IF you try to ban my guns, I'll kill your ass."

Do you really think criminals don't already have guns? Do ya think more criminals will have more guns if guns are banned? No. If guns were against the law, gun owners would break the law. So much for the good guy with a gun theme. Seems like we should read more into these sound bytes.

Brother practicing for cowboy movie kills sister on her birthday.

I didn't make up the story. Wish it never happened.



Yeah, the 50 year old man decided to relive his younger days of playing cowboys and Indians. In some parody of Hollywood gunslingers, the brother tried twirling his pistol with his finger. He dropped the loaded weapon. It went off. Hit his sister. Killed her in front of her kids.

Birthday parties aren't what they used to be since your Mom took away your cap pistol.

Florida is the new Wild West

Hard to believe? No.

A blind guy in Florida is having a few drinks with a friend. Suddenly, his friend starts beating the hell out of him. But, he didn't finish the job soon enough. The blind guy goes and gets ... wait for it ... his assault rifle. Loads it up and shoots his drunken friend to death.


Since it's Florida, say Stand Your Ground if you're sober enough to stand. We need a new SDUI law, shot dead under the influence.

The blind guy has done probation for shooting 15 rounds at his cousin ... and missing. Plus he lost a fight with a woman in a domestic disturbance some three years ago.

Since some will think I've made it up, here's that link to the story as it was published in Europe.
