Like all good weaponry the Double Shot works best with booze. The gun’s main purpose is to harass and irritate family and friends. Dogs also tend to be very skittish of these things, and for good reason.
This double barrel dart shooting shotgun is made by the people of Buzz Bee Toys. Purchased at Target for $9.99 I thought I was getting a hell of a bargain, but it turned out to be another Chinese conspiracy. This gun has nothing on any Nerf products.
The cartridges shoot out when you crack the gun open, which is fun at first, but quickly becomes aggravating. Darts often didn’t leave the chamber, and instead found themselves lodged in the barrel of the gun. This can be quite embarrassing when trying to kill Julia Child on the Jumbo-screen. The darts are firing using air hence its name ‘Air Blasters.’ However, the gust of air is weak causing inaccuracy, and a short firing range. For my taste I find the gun too light, and overall cheaply made. I was hoping more for a full sized, possibly real shotgun experience. This is why after shooting this toy, Collin’s suggestion of shooting a friends real shotgun made in the U.S. of A. sounded like a great idea.
I suppose it’s worth noting that this is a child’s toy, but the fact that there is really no creative alterations on the traditional shotgun, and it’s more of a miniature colorful replica is disturbing. The world needs child soldiers, but they can’t learn on this equipment.
At target looking at the table chart of Nerf products we saw the Vulcan, an intense bipod mounted killing machine. After muttering it’s name a stoner Target worker seemed very eager to show us the product, and was seemingly disappointed when we refused. Sorry buddy.
The shotgun was fun for a short time, but it’s poor quality and the fact that I’m 24 rendered it useless after one day. Oh well, 10 bucks on something that had potential.

‘No, Frank, you can’t eat me. Get the hell out of my BBQ. I don’t care if you made a delicious dry rub designed specifically for human flesh.’
I have no moral qualms with eating people, however I am an anti-cannibal for practical reasons.
Think of cannibalism in the same sense that we think of driving. There is an inherent level of trust when we drive. If too many people start ignoring the rules, running red lights for example, it leads to traffic jams, and a general break down of the entire system. Likewise if we start eating anyone at will, society simply won’t be able to function. The trust is lost, and we become one of those horrible backward-ass third world countries.
Legislation governing cannibalism wouldn’t work either. Maybe we start a human farm, humans raised solely for the purpose of being eaten. The criteria for putting people in this farm would be far too subjective, and influenced by special interest groups. If something like this were to take effect a group like the NRA could come in, and set up some sort of human hunting league, which could lead to God knows what.
Just look at who cannibals are: Tribal people, the Congolese, and Liberians. Not any society I want to be a part of. So, don’t eat your neighbor, and have a Happy Halloween.
Edge Shaving Gel
Oct 7
I have the precision of a drunk surgical intern. When I go to shave it looks like the Alamo, blood and guts everywhere.
A couple of months ago I ran out of shaving gel, and found a discount brand shaving cream under my sink. The results were unsatisfactory, as I bloodied up my chin, and routinely had an uneven shave. After much chagrin, I purchased the Edge shaving gel with extra comfort for my sensitive yet manly skin.
Just a little dab of this stuff will have you covered, unless you’re the elephant man or something. I noticed I had to press down maybe half as hard with the Edge gel than I did with the discount cream. This lead to a first shave fraught with cuts, but after that it has been smooth sailing. Thank you Edge for making me no longer look like a disgruntled sea captain.
Price: $9 for a 4 pack at Costco
