An afternoon at the Spokane Gun Show

Yes your eyes are not playing with you. There are two sides to every coin. The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals and The People Eating Tasty Animals. Which side of the fence are you on? I would gather that most of the people at the Spokane Gun Show are on the side of eating tasty animals. The nice man that had this poster up was actually selling jerky of every kind. He asked if we wanted to sample it and we politely refused. We had just had lunch and with all the germs flying around, sampled food doesn't sound too appetizing even if it is Elk jerky. We meandered our way through and I felt as if I was in a foreign land. My friend with me actually was. He is French. Our eyes vacuumed over all of the interesting artifacts ranging from guns to Wolverine skins. I actually learned what a wolverine was today. I hope as should you to never run into one. On our way out Samuel asked "Can I buy a gun?" I didn't know so being the inquisitive nosy Nelly that I am I had to get to the bottom of it. We sauntered up to a booth selling guns and I asked if I could buy a gun. "Are you a Washington resident?" "Yeah, sure" " Do I have to register it?" "No" So... that's it. You have the cash you get the gun. So in the Christmas season that could be a nice little present for yourself. You can't buy it and give it away. I was told I could not buy the gun and give it to Samuel for then I would be a straw buyer. Well I know what that meant having spent my childhood summers on a ranch. Straw is worthless and I was not about to be a worthless buyer.

Car Shopping in Spokane, Washington

What? You've got to be kidding me? Is what I'm seeing real? Yes, yes, and yes. I went car shopping over the weekend with my cousin. She is looking for a 3/4 or 1 ton Cummins Diesel, Long bed, 5 or 6 speed. No white and under 100,000 miles. We traipsed all over Spokane in search of her Dodge truck and the only luck we had in locating one was at this dealership. So we hopped in the truck and off we went, Erika grinning ear to ear. After our spin around the area we cruise back to the lot and of course go inside to the snake pit or shall I say Elk den and begin the negotiations. Our sales guy excuses himself and I lock eyes on the elk mounted on the wall. I think back to my last experience in buying a car which was in Beverly Hills at the BMW dealership. I don't remember any dead animals on the walls but I do remember some surgered women walking around and a fair amount of silicone breasts. The sales guy was real pushy so I pushed back and told him to think about our offer and off my friend and I went to have lunch at The Ivy. Brittney was there as were many other celebs dining on who knows what and drinking a fair amount of mint juleps. In Spokane, we dined at a nice little authentic Mexican restaurant, however the music was Colombian. I know for we had a Colombian in our party that even sang along to the music. The food was actually better at the Mexican restaurant and for about 1/50 of the price. So after our negotiations Erika stuck to her guns and did not cave. Everything was pretty mellow and it was the friendliest car experience I have ever witnessed. Everyone and everything is friendly in the Northwest. Even going car shopping can be the experience of a lifetime.

Dale from Nothing Like a Redneck Christmas responds.

Dale - I am a hunter and proud to be one. At least I'm not some hypocrite who buys their meat at Walmart and I'm not some crazy tree hugger.

Samantha from Nothing Like a Redneck Christmas responds.

Samantha -My brother is an idiot. He doesn't know what he's saying. He doesn't even know what the word hypocrite means.

Dale - I most certainly do. It's what you are.

Samantha - Like I was saying. An idiot. I think it is just awful to kill a poor defenseless animal.

Shell from Nothing Like a Redneck Christmas responds

Shell - Oh get over yourself.

Debbie (Shell's wife) from Nothing Like a Redneck Christmas responds

Debbie - Stop picking on Sam.
