Thus Spake Russ

Via one of the mailing lists I’m on, What Next? Uzi Bourbon?

The creator of one of the world’s most famous guns, the AK-47 assault rifle, launched another weapon in Britain Monday — Kalashnikov vodka.

Yep, it’s a real booze. Here’s their website.
A couple comments from my shooting friends:

I wonder if Feinstein, Schumer and Kennedy will try to ban this too??

I think Kennedy may try to get these bottles off the streets by drinking them all…

And the winners:

You can have it, you just can’t buy it in high-capacity containers.

… and you’re only allowed one shot at a time…

We’re such a fun group of guys.
[And yes, there really is a Claymore Whisky. Blended… ugh.]
Update/addendum: The mailing list to which I belong, in a contextually amusing conflation of guns and booze, is called “shooters.” Hard to go wrong with that.

Ra^ther and Kurtz:

“Give it to me straight, flatfoot,” I demanded. “What in the name of Edward R. Murrow is going on here?”
“I’m saying you’ve been played like a pawn shop fiddle, Rather. Set up. Conned. Slipped a mickey.”
“What are you implying Kurtz?”
“Snookered. Bamboozled. Flimflammed. They sold you a first class ticket to the Palookaville snipe hunt on the Gullible Express.”
“And so you’re saying….”
“You’ve been duped, Danny. Fooled. Had. You were wedgied, pantsed, and paraded around town in your skidmarked B.V.D.s. ”
“Stop talking in code, Howie,” I snapped. “I need the truth!”

It could only be Iowahawk. You must, without fail, read the whole thing.
