"We blowed them pigeons up. We blowed 'em up REAL good!"

This made me laugh really hard in while still in cube-land, prior to lab-land. I hope you enjoy this description of a couple of apparent Defenders of the Faith. I found the link from Mark Shea's site. Thanks Mark and Father Robert!!! If only all priests looked like that! Check out the link to check out the pictures.
The Ugly Underside of The Catholic Neo-Con Cabal
Yesterday, Mark alluded to the fact that while he was here we did, in fact, do things other than eat and drink. And that's true. We did do "other" things, things that should strike fear into your hearts...
After eating pie, drinking wine, and taking in the fenny beauty along the Kalamazoo River, we returned to St. Stanislaus, in the peaceful hamlet of Hilliards. Then, after Mark had rested a bit, I said, "well, there's one more installment in your day of Country Fun! He asked what that might be. I said, "Well, what rhymes with "fun"? He said, "uh, sun...?" "No", I replied. "Run"? No, wrong again. "Gun...?" "That's it", I cried. "The best kind of fun comes with a gun! Let's go out and shoot something!"
"What?", Mark asked."Heretics?"
"'Fraid not," I replied.
"Modernist dissenters?"
"None close enough", I said. "No, we'll have to settle for clay pigeons".
So I took Mark out, and initiated him into the official Right-Wing Gun Nut Club:
Fr. Rob Racking A Shell Into The Chamber
I showed Mark how to operate the target thrower, and proceeded to knock a few clay pigeons out of the air:
Fr. Rob Unleashing His Vengeance
After showing Mark how it's done, I handed the weapon over to him, and turned him loose:
Mark Finding His Inner Redneck
Mark turned out to be a pretty decent shot, considering he'd never fired a shotgun at a moving target before. He allowed as how this was good practice against the day we have to rise up and declare the founding of the Amerikan Katholic Krusader Kingdom.
Mark Sending a Clay Pigeon Down For a Dirt Nap
So, we ended the day with a bang, quite literally. We released some pent-up agression and helped prepare ourselves for the coming Holy War. The sight of us two fat Catholic guys in arms should give members of the New York Times editorial board, Canadian leftists, and other pantywaists chills up and down their spines.
By the way, a reader remarked in a comment to my previous post that I wasn't wearing clerics. She asked what the rule was regarding priests and clerical garb. Well, I won't address the question of the "rules", but I can show you when you'll definitely find me in clerics:

NOTE - For those who do not recognize him, Fr. Rob Johansen spent many weeks with Terri Schiavo's family, counseling and praying with them during those most horrific months before her untimely death.
(left-handed, that is. The pics aren't reversed - his wristwatch is on his left wrist and the ejector port for the shotgun is not visible in the pic.)
He needs to get himself a left-handed shotgun! (but before he does, he needs to check on his dominant eye. My husband is left-handed but right eye dominant, so he shoots right-handed. It's cheaper that way, too.)
I'm left-handed and left-eyed, but I too shoot right-handed. This is why I never hit anything.
(I'm so right-handed and right-eyed, everything on the left is just there for symmetry's sake!)
What an awesome priest!
*sniff*
I miss the paladins...
