How did I end up on these e-mail lists?
« on: April 29, 2012, 03:31:31 PM »
Okay, I get the emails from my shooting club, Harbor Freight and reloading blasts from MidwayUSA, Grafs, Natchez, along with a couple of other shooting supply/ammo companies.

That's all well and good, I usually quickly scan those for any deals before either consigning them to the trash or going ahead and ordering something.  

I'm also very careful in when I have to give my e-mail out online to make sure I'm not inadvertently signing up for their "periodic"(#) emails.

So how I ended up getting on these two lists is beyond me, as I don't recall signing or contributing to any granola crunching, hippie hugging, kum-by-ya signing libtarderal website/group.  

http://www.thepetitionsite.com/
and
http://www.biologicaldiversity.org/

So needless to say it would be far too easy for me to ask to be removed.  So instead I've become best-est friends with Emily V., as she seems to send me the most petitions to sign, by; 1) Not only refusing to sign her petitions; 2) Sending her a reply explaining why she is completely wrong on the issue-de-jur; 3) And being an all around curmudgeon to see how long before they chuck me out on my ear. (Without resorting to personal attacks, Libtardserals are quick to silence those they disagree with.

It's a hobby.  ;)

(#) "Periodic" being defined as: "As often as we can send one out !!"

I've often wondered how come all those people out there know I'm fat, bald, broke, horny, and have a small... ummm... thingy.

I'm not signing this one so nobody will know who posted it.

Nope.  Wallet is covered under "broke."

Hmmm, come to think of it, "thingy" is covered under "horny."

I'm on Barack and Joe's mailing list.  It's entertaining.  They offered me a free 0bama/Biden bumper sticker.  I accepted, and it arrived just a few days ago.  I'm looking for a appropriate place to stick it. (don't say it!)   >:D

I'm tempted to join them on one of their neighborhood canvassing outings.  I'm sure I could swing some votes away from them by pretending to be one of them.

Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".

Wheaton is a very conservative area.   Very Conservative.  However we do have some libtardserals (mostly the Kum-by-ya Christian variety) around here (Wheaton College Admin types) with Obama/Biden stickers on their Priuses  (Priui?)  So whenever I see them I pull up along side at light or greet them in the parking lot with:

"Hey, some socialist put an Obama sticker on your car!!  Want some help removing it before your friends see it?"


Oh, the looks and finger wagging I get.....Along with the name calling, "Racist" being the most popular and usually the first one out of their mouths.....

I get Brady mail specifically so I know what they are up to.  I usually contact my congressman when they ask me to.  :angel:  Oh and their forums were comedy gold; completely overrun by spambots selling cialis (it looks like it's down now).   :lol:

They took it down a couple of years ago because it was like THR/TFL(Light).  Everybody (99%) on there was a gunowner.  They spent more time killing 9mm Vs 45ACP, 870 vs 500, and AR vs AK threads then actually putting out any propaganda.   But when they did put out some Katie-bar-the-door.  They got overwhelmed but the number of people disputing and refuting their "facts".   Hahahahahahaha

...Priuses  (Priui?)...

Priera, after opus/opera, genus/genera, etc.

Racist?  You bet!  I am strongly prejudiced in favor of the human race.  Let me know when you qualify!  (Actually, I am not much in favor of the human race, I am just suggesting a fun response. =D)
