 It’s Friday! We made it! Yea!
So, it’s getting busy around The Compound. The Daughter arrived with a trailer full of frozen chicken wings late yesterday. We have the trailer plugged in to keep them frozen, though Cousin Fred insisted that we offload at least one carton. He wants to have chicken wings while watching the Royal Wedding starting at 3AM Saturday morning. I must admit I’ll probably be watching that myself, particularly since I’ve now predicted that the soon-to-be-princess-bride will likely bolt at the last second and disappear down in the Caribbean. By the way, speaking of my predictions, we here at CCB took a lot of heat yesterday for my comments about the Markle family and about her running off with the latest hot felon who would likely be a walk-off from 18th hole of the William S. Keyless Country Club. To those critics, I say, “Thhhhppppt!” You watch, she’s a runner. As wacky as that family is, I’m also looking for a brawl during the reception. At least if events (e.g. runaway bride) don’t preclude a reception. So, yes, I will watch the royal wedding and eat chicken wings with Cousin Fred and anybody else around here dumb enough to start watching at 3AM. The FACWAF will be held on Sunday. All are invited…blah, blah, blah. Cousin Fred, who you may recall from March of this year was able to find a mobile number for Rex “Tea for the” Tillerson, is trying to get hold of T-Rex to invite him to The Compound on Sunday. It’s not like he has anything else to do right now. So far, no one is answering the calls. Oklahoma’s biggest welfare society, aka, the State Legislature, is proposing (read as threatening) to meet in a THIRD special session to revisit all their nonsense that Her Royal Highness Mary of Fallin vetoed. Of particular concern among the morons of South Lincoln Blvd. was the Senate bill that would have allowed anyone (not convicted of a felony, of which there are only a few of us left) to carry a loaded weapon. You faithful readers (there are 5 or 6 of you) of this stupid blog may recall that I made a case on both sides of this…well, sort of. Though I predicted that HRH would gleefully sign the damn bill no matter what. Guess what? I was wrong! Now, in light of a recent event in Shreveport, Louisiana I can see where even very basic training in the use of firearms could be very important. It seems that a young man was going through his home apartment complex down there trying to sell candy bars for something, we don’t know the purpose for the candy sales, we’ll just say it was for new band uniforms. As he’s going door to door, a thug approaches him and insists that he hand over his candy bars and his money. Our young man refuses. Thug then snatches said candy and cash from young man. He then passed out candy bars to his thug friends (very magnanimous of him, don’t you think?). With me, so far? At that point, the young man returned to his own apartment and informed his mother of what had happened. Mother, doing most mothers would do, sets out looking for the thug to retrieve the remaining candy and cash that was stolen from her son. Mother locates thug and demands that he hand over the candy and cash. The thug refused. Thugs are funny that way. But then, the thug took things a step beyond. He pulls out a weapon and commences firing. No one is hit, but then the mother pulls her own weapon and returns fire (that’s some apartment complex they live in). Mother didn’t hit anything either. The cops show up. More weapons are drawn, but the thug got away. Hmmm, this is beginning to sound like a typical Saturday night at The Compound. The cops let the mother go free after they determined she was shooting in self-defense. Someone rats out the thug, and he is arrested on a couple of outstanding warrants (go figure), robbery, and illegal use of a firearm. No word on the candy or cash. These two could have used basic training with their weapon. Maybe, just maybe, someone would have been hit. Okay, as I’m typing that, it makes a case for no training. I’m so confused! That is all!
