SHOOTY ... NO SHOOTY ... SAVVY?

Essential for all war correspondents: the Dissident Frogman’s basic boomstick training. Do click; it’s a work of genius.

  4. First I’ve seen of it. Besides a facility for sarcasm, he’s pretty good at editing himself, which many home-video producers aren’t.

    It made me to remember Time magazine’s follow-through on the Reagan assassination attempt, when they tried to whip up the populace for more gun-control laws, as they and other media did after the King and Kennedy killings.

    Alongside their story, they ran an illustration of a Devastator bullet piercing flesh. (This was a round that was designed to explode on impact, but didn’t.) Only they showed the entire cartridge going in. Which would have been possible only if Hinckley had thrown the round like a dart, and with a bionic arm.

    Even now, anchors and reporters doing crime stories trumpet their firearms ignorance when they take a deep breath and gulp before stage-whispering “NINE MILLIMETER.”

    It’s a metric .38 special, folks. A round the police don’t like to carry because it glances off windshields.

    I guess when a rapper rhymes “9mm” and glares at the camera, they get the whoobies.

  6. I’d seen it before, but I watched it again and laughed as hard the second time around.  Dissident Frogman is my new video heartthrob.

  7. Well, Grimmy, you are right.  He did SAY.  But aim to maim ...

  9. That video is a scream, Tim. Love it.

    Even if it weren’t as good as it is, anything using Mancini as a soundtrack is all right with me… and the bloopers at the end are priceless.

  13. Slightly on topic: don’t shoot .50 cals at iron.

  14. Haven’t watched the video yet, cos I didn’t have my speakers with me.

    But any guy’s whose tagline is “French by birth. Pro-american by nature.  Yep, Rousseau was a dickweed.” is alright with me!

  15. Loved the boomstick training video! But if it’s broomstick training you need, call on this expert.

  16. Almost a reason to like the French again.

    I said almost.

    Yes, but a very bad habit to get into.
