Calendars

Yeah, I know what generally comes to mind when we think of Calendars. Cute, fluffy kittens and adorable dogs adorn each month that goes by and you generally peek ahead to see what the next month has to offer.

For Christmas, I got a couple of froufrou calendars. One was the kittens, and one was different farm houses painted as period pieces. Very cute, but doesn’t push my thrill buttons as far as excitement and something to look forward to.

However, I did receive a couple more calendars that totally rock. My Buddy JP visited the Hawaiian Islands and brought me back the Men of the Hawaiian Island Calendar. Holy Moly, it’s enough to make me use my Secret Antiperspirant all at one time! The only drawback is that most of these guys are the age of my boy…if not younger, and that hmmm…doesn’t quite float my boat. So I’m going to pretend that these guys are in their 30’s when I stare at these pictures so I don’t feel like a total cradle-robbing psycho!

The other calendar I got from a buddy at work, and she knows me sooo well!!! It is the desk top Gun Digest “Gun of the Day” calendar! Oh yeah! I’ve included today’s gun below.

I love this calendar on so many levels. Since I work at a State Agency, I’m just counting the days until some liberal freak explodes over the fact that I have pictures of guns on my desk and raises a ruckus! Although I also keep Thomas Jefferson’s quote at my desk too (see below), so we’ll see what they have to say about that. I love going against the establishment and political correctness, and this gun calendar so speaks to my militant stance. One of my favorite quotes of all time is by Charlton Heston “Political Correctness is just tyranny with manners.” Ah, but I digress on today’s fun subject of calendars.

So my buddy and I were talking about these calendars and how we could improve upon them. A friend had forwarded a couple of beefcake cowboy shots that are amazing and should also be on a calendar. So we’re tossing around ideas and I’m thinking that the ultimate calendar would be one of these cowboys, holding a gun (maybe a Para Black Ops 14-45, a Barrett’s MRAD, a McMillan CS5, a SIG Sauer’s SSG 3000 or even the classic North American Arms 1860 Hogleg). Then we expanded the concept to include a gun in one hand and chocolate in the other. But hey…why stop there? How about a gun in one hand and cheesecake in the other! Wait…chocolate cheesecake!!! And a rose in his teeth. Or even better, a Marine in camo pants and boots, wearing a cowboy hat, holding a gun in one hand and chocolate cheesecake in the other, with a rose in his teeth!

Holy crap….I need a life!
