Another (Literal) Nail For My Heart

Not delivered by the piano-man who's found the song that makes it so tough, but by a pneumatic nail-gun shot right into the chest.

Supposedly the man slipped and accidentally shot himself through the heart with the gun, piercing the wall of his heart with the nail.

Well... okay. It's possible. But there are an awful lot of "accidental" self-shootings, and "accidental" insertions of 12" Steve Austin action figures (in jogging suit, with exposable bionics under the skin of the arm) into the rectum.

And, by the way, that reduces a figure's price on eBay a hell of a lot more than just taking it out of the original box.

Worth it? Absolutely. But just know the tradeoff.

How bad is it that I never owned the Steve Austin, but I *did* have the sportcoat-wearing Oscar Goldman? Complete with the "exploding" suitcase bomb?

Oh, and instead of Batman, I had the Robin figure. WTF is with the sidekicks??

Man, my parents always bought me the shittiest toys.

Cheers,

Ace - Speaking of which, a few years ago a carpenter was working at a job site in Allentown. He accidentally cut his hand off with a chop saw. He tried to end his pain by shooting himself in the head with a nail gun like eleven times. It didn't work. True story, I'll try to find the link.

It's the third story down on this... very odd website.

I had that doll. But I never put it in my rectum.

Maskatron was a much better fit.

How does the value work out if it's been up the nether regions but is still in the box? Does it matter if the sale takes place in West Hollywood or some other 'alternative action-figure activity' community?

weird, a friend of mine is an OR surgical asst. She told me yesterday "you would be amazed at the number of guys working construction who take the safeties off of their nail guns".

Unfortunately, I believe that, Dave. My hubby worked construction in his younger days and he's got a scar from lowering an unguarded circular saw to his calf.

We have 3 nail guns here and there's NO way he'd take the safeties off. They're there for a reason.

Later,

They remove the safeties so they can do a "bounce fire" and move along faster.

Yea its dumb...

Yea it'll get their employer in DEEP DUNG with OSHA if there's ever an insite inspection...

Roofers do it a lot. But then again nobody ever accused roofers of being rocket scientists either...

Is there a better album than Squeeze "Singles, 45s and Under"? I think not.

Funny -- if you don't mind clicking on TikTok. "Amy.Pranks.22" set up an AI scam-call screener which replies to a foreign scammer trying to get her bank information with Trumpian bluster. This might be fake because I don't see how a program can respond in real time, but it's funny.

The ULA rocket just launched
Thanks to Joyenz
The rocket's enormous engines are fueled by "the volcanic heterosexual lust between James Talarico and his Neighbor With a Uterus 'girlfriend'"
I hope Amazon's rocket works better than the Amazon Prime app does as far as allowing people to watch the black and white version of "Spider-Noir"
From the CA Post:

Spencer Pratt is now Karen Bass' biggest headache.

A bombshell California Post poll conducted with McLaughlin & Associates shows the reality TV star-turned-mayoral candidate has surged to a statistical tie with the incumbent mayor.

And voters blame homelessness, affordability and the direction of Los Angeles as the reason for turning on Bass.

Pratt now leads the field with 30.1% support, compared with 29.5% for Bass, setting up a razor-thin race heading into next week's primary.

Socialist councilwoman Nithya Raman sits in third place at 23.4%.

Thanks to beckster
Just like "Spartacus" Corey Booker, now that James Talarico is running for a higher office, he unveils his previously-unknown "girlfriend" and hooboy, it just so happens she used to work for him, and, get this, likes to "dance the night away" at gay bars
Gee I wonder where they might have met
Oh and she's a vegan
When Corey Booker needed a "girlfriend," he conjured up known LGBTQ activist Rosario Dawson. How convenient that when these guys need a girlfriend to show off to the normies that just happen to find an activist with a strong history of and interest in Supporting Gay Men
But seriously, this James Talarico romance with a Neighbor with a Uterus is a love story for the ages. The passion of their lovemaking is hotter than a blue star with a core of Primordial Sex Atoms created in the Big Bang
And just like that, #PunchANazi became Punch a Ballot for a Nazi
"Teen" charged with five counts of attempted murder after attempting to run down police officers with his car in yet another "teen takeover" permitted by woke racist incompetent Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson
Johnson's response to the "teen takeovers" of streets and businesses that he refuses to make arrests to stop is to go after social media companies for not deleting messages to coordinate the "teen takeovers." Um, they're supposed to find these messages and delete them in real time?
It makes no sense but he has to offer an "alternative" plan to just arresting lawbreakers -- which he absolutely refuses to do, saying we "can't arrest our way out" of rampant crime.
Future Tucker Carlson guest James Talarico:
James Talarico
@jamestalarico

Black Americans in a church.

Mexican Americans in a store.

Asian Americans in a spa.

Radicalized white men are the greatest domestic terrorist threat in our country.

He's referring to three mass attacks committed by white men in, oh, the past six or eight years. There were a huge number of mass shootings and bombings he had to skip over to cherry pick three committed by white men. Which kind of makes me think that "white men" are not the greatest terrorist threat in our country.
No, I doubt he'll be a guest on Tucker Carlson. The only thing that Tucker clings to that he claims makes him "conservative" is a palpable hatred of gays. Any time there's a communist enslaving their population and executing dissenters and conservatives, Tucker praises that dictator by saying "at least he represses the homos!"
