But they were assault paintball guns with high-capacity paint cans!

My boys like to go airsofting. They have a little gear. I just rent a airsoft and face mask, wear jeans and a fleece. Some of the airsofters would put a Delta operator to shame with the amount of gear. We're just running around a warehouse basically playing tag. Airsoft shoots round plastic BBs down a smooth bore, accuracy isn't a thing, volume of fire is. Some of the guys take it way to seriously.

Probably they needed to practice in the same uniforms and equipment they'd use in real battles, except for nonlethal weapons.

I have one, but a cheap one. Can barely hit a target at 10'. Quite inconsistent. But fun shooting at those air bags they use for packing material.

The 1970's Firesign Theatre album "Everything You Know is Wrong" (NOT about the Democrats) has aliens on earth, turning people into aliens. 
One of the things the aliens say is "Men and women are the same sex", and at one point, the narrator is looking at a couple who have been turned into aliens- "She's pregnant...And so is he!"

So maybe all this transgender stuff does come from aliens////////////////////////////////////////////////

"SEE! SEE! THE GOP IS THE PARTY OF BILLIONAIRES!!!" the Progs will shriek; ignoring the fact that the other 9 of the 10 richest people in the US are all Democrats.

Apropos of nothing: So I'm watching Ozark, and they just casually dropped the concept of a "Specially-Designated National" by the US Treasury.  


Due to my work, I know what that is; but few people would.  I find it interesting when TV or movie writers do that.

It's funny, isn't it?
The Left is all-in for "New Math," which ensures that the kiddies won't be able to figure, but they still are promoting long division in the society as a whole.

    <b>It's an Old Russian Custom</b>

    It’s an old Russian custom

    When the economy is bad

    To invade Ukraine and bust ‘em

    ‘Specially if your first name’s “Vlad.”

    It’s an old Russian custom

    To starve them or shoot ‘em dead

    While the West grabs pearls to clutch them

    So no more needs to be said.


    If civilians should be slaughtered

    In some urban concentrations

    Which the former Soviet Union

    Wants to absorb in its nation

    Don’t you bother your head, dear

    Whether it be wrong or right

    It’s just an old Russian custom

    And so everything’s all right


    ---apologies to "It's an Old Southern Custom"
