An Idea
Last night, the wife hosted a Thirty One party. This is like a tupperware party except that they sell monogrammed bags, pillows, blankets, and other girly stuff at ridiculous prices. Flipping through their catalog, it seems they make their money selling you $30 bags for $69. And, of course, it has that whole direct marketing, pyramid thing going on. But, hey, the group of women at the house seemed to enjoy it.
Then it occurred to me. The food and the social interaction were apparently worth spending the extra money on bags for. So, I’m thinking that gun nuts would be stupid enough love to get their own monogrammed range and bug out bags. They’d be willing to sit around, have some good food, yammer on about guns and they wouldn’t mind spending way too much money a reasonable price on these things? Throw in some holsters too.

Hell they buy H&K guns without any sort of social interaction, and the only think they monogram is “H&K” and “Law Enforcement Only”
Because you suck and they hate you ; ]

Read the book The Female Brain. Socialization, relationship building, and communication is far, far, more important to women than to men. It is that biologically facet these sales parties are tapping into.
My guess is that if such a thing worked with men we would have seen it already for power tools, car accessories, and porn.

You’re forgetting the beer.
December 8th, 2010 at 11:29 am
No thanks. Hate those parties, female brain or not.

Uncle, are you really suggesting that Glock lovers have a Tupperware party?
December 8th, 2010 at 11:48 am
I thought those where called gun shows?
December 8th, 2010 at 11:50 am
I would have to be very drunk to attend such an event.
December 8th, 2010 at 12:14 pm
You could do it at a local gun club or at a range and make it a range night thing too.
Winner!

Joe, maybe that’s why I’m partial to Aspie chix. Unfortunately, it seems they’re all already married, or not interested. Yah, I’m bitter; I managed to screw up a nice relationship with the perfect nerd girl, and yes, I was at fault.

Joe: “Read the book The Female Brain.”
1) Read it. Provides astounding insight.
2) When I think of the title, I say to myself “female-ale” in Zoidberg’s voice.

Just because a woman thinks girlie crap hard sell parties are second only to baby showers in the level of sheer mind numbing faux-camradierie inane small talk hell does not immediately indication she has ass burgers, gosh.
December 8th, 2010 at 12:51 pm
Argh. INDICATE, not indication.
Broad assumptions tend to make me typo, I guess.
December 8th, 2010 at 1:05 pm
MMHMM, sounding more like it with every denial. It’s really the CDO that makes you typo. You know, it’s like OCD, except in alphabetical order, the way it should be.
December 8th, 2010 at 1:07 pm
“Broad” ASSumptions.
*snicker*
And, yeah. The lovely Mrs. VI shares your opinion.

Mr. Evilwrench. Try Dewey, I understand that much better. π
December 8th, 2010 at 1:29 pm
Sounds like a Gunblogger Rendezvous to me! π Where’s the swag again?

I saw an Amway packet in a friends mail the other day. Beer and pizza night were canceled, indefinatly.

Too bad the Antis would think you are having some kind of Militia Meeting and send the DHS Federales after you to monitor your “Suspected Domestic Terrorism” activity. After all, if the TSA can say on the news that they can violate your 4th Amendment right against unreasonable Search and Seizures, whose to say they won’t come after your 1st. Amendment right to Peaceably Assemble?

Joe, “socialization, relationship building, and communication” are pronounced “fishing, titty bars, and poker” in these hyear ports. Marie Curie said “mind knows no sex” and I agree because, you know, she was hawt. Some minds OTOH know no sex at all.

Methinks Breda doth protest too much.
December 8th, 2010 at 2:08 pm
Do you get to shoot the tupperware? Or fill it with stuff that explodes, then shoot it?
If not I’ll pass.
December 8th, 2010 at 2:09 pm
P.s. Oh, Breda? The Library of Congress system is far superior to the Dewey Decimal system.
December 8th, 2010 at 2:17 pm
Yo hoo! Gun-way calling!
December 8th, 2010 at 2:35 pm
Justthisguy PWN’d Dewey. I’ve seen everything on the internets, now.
December 8th, 2010 at 3:54 pm
I think justthisguy is justtryingtopickafight now.
December 8th, 2010 at 4:43 pm
Ha! My wife sells 31 and is way ahead of you on that idea! π

So what I see developing here is a bunch of guys having a drunken night at a stripper bar, passing around Kalashnakitty T-Shirts and Glock monogrammed windbreakers.
I also see a Brady Group spin-off possibility here: Fruit of the Loom briefs with a racing stripe already dyed into the seat, for the PSH the gun lover meeting would cause.
Maybe it still needs some work as an idea whose time has come.
December 8th, 2010 at 6:17 pm
I volunteer the valley as the venue. Might bring extraneous, no-longer-used gun stuff to swap and sell, too. I have this ARMS–5 mount….
December 8th, 2010 at 6:22 pm
Like I said, sounds like a Gunblogger Rendezvous – it’s even at a Casino!

Breda, if you people stop that “weeding” thing, then I might be prepared to play nice. I do admit to disliking a majority of librarians since I learned to read at age 6. I always thought that entirely too many librarians considered their job to be keeping me from reading books I wanted to read.
December 9th, 2010 at 1:23 am
Dream on, BMG-Boy!!! LOL!!

P.s. Breda, there’s a reason my blog is entitled “Enemies of the Library.” The “Friends of the Library” in this town, who founded the Public Library here, are a bunch of Police Republican old women, who toss the scientific and technical books in favor of keeping the bodice-rippers and gardening books.

You know, I was thinking the same thing as my wife is also a 31 consultant…
