Although it’s missing a community pool and spa with a game room, this looks pretty nice for my future retirement home. Except for inclement weather, you’ll likely find me sunning on the back porch, with a laptop and a cooler, waving to passersby, before the local constabulary asks me to move.

Curly, Larry and Moe.
Curly, Larry and Moe.
Curly, Moe and Larry. Some folks display the 3 Wiseguys year round, just like God intended.

Bunky just can’t get into the Christmas Spirit until he hears the Ronettes’ version of “Sleigh Ride.”
Unfortunately, the best vids of that song have been pulled, and we just can’t bring ourselves to post a video of a vinyl record spinning on a turntable, or worse, a picture of an album cover (losers). BUT, we’re certainly willing to post THIS version. Screw the copyright Scrooges.
So here’s a compromise, a Christmas song with Darlene Love, backed by the E-Street Band (with video splices from, um, “Home Alone“).
“Each AK-47 Paper Model Kit comes with all the materials and instructions to construct this amazingly life-like paper model of an AK-47.
PLEASE NOTE: This is a very detailed project, requiring some attention to detail and time.”
Paint it flat black and it’ll get you arrested in the daytime. At night, unarmed intruders will soil their chonies when they see the business end pointed in their direction. As for armed intruders, it’s kind of a death sentence… for you. It’s still cool, though, cuz u kn poze n stuf wit ur blng.
