Ian works hard, finding pictures and jokes and words for his blogs. Everyday!

He must be exhausted.

Today, though, he linked to an amazing photo of a US Navy vessel firing its massive broadside guns.

Although I wasn't there, I imagine the sound of the guns firing to be something like: 'KABLAM! Errrrww CACHUNK KAPOUGH!!'.

Yep, guns are fun. We should all have guns. Then the world would be truly safe.

Of course, I'm being sarcastic. I'm pretty happy living a gun-free existance.


Not everyone feels that way, though. Once I went white-water rafting on La Riveriere Rouge, and our raft had an American family from Louisiana. During the slow parts of the ride, the father regaled me with tales of slow-roasted bbq, smoked with hickory.

That's a real BBQ.

I asked him if he had a gun, and he said that everyone in his family had a gun. They lived in Louisiana, after all.

I was dumbfounded, even 'flabbergasted'.

'What about your daughter?' I asked, gesturing to the quiet teenage girl in the back of the raft.

'Hell,' he replied happily, 'I bought her a shotgun for her 12th birthday!'

Eye.... I looked back, and the daughter gave me a cold, murderous look.
