You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

We've solved this by owning rottweillers.

Then what will I use to defend myself against the rottweillers?

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

We've solved this by owning rottweillers.

Shouldn't the rottweillers be nuclear capable? You know, just in case.

To defend themselves against the sharks with friggin' laser beams on their heads?

Have we all heard about the government research into controlling sharks, turning them into weapons? This is cool, as it resulted in the coolest blog title ever: Shark and Awe.

A moat, sharks, deathbeam lasers on sharks' backs...Bond villains have the right idea.

Hee!! Laser-mounted shark crosspost! I love my Buffistas.

If we could fund education adequately in the name of national security that would be keen

This actually happened for science and math education after Sputnik. Maybe we could get the money to improve science and math education today if the Chinese invented a giant killer robot.

Just feed them a lot of cheese and ice cream. Never failed to give the dogs I've known the most toxic explosive farts ever.

Or the dogs with bees in their mouths, and when they bark they shoot bees at you!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

if the Chinese invented a giant killer robot.

Come brothers! The Chinese have built a robot!

The makers of the 50 calibre sniper rifle are coming out with a 25mm rifle. It can take down lightly armored vehicles from a mile, so it should be okay against the rottweillers.

I believe the NRA is fighting attempts to ban ownership of 50 calibre rifles, I wonder if they will do so with the 25mm version. I think it's resonable to restrict weapons that powerful, maybe range use only.

Remember folks: the crossfire from explosively farting dogs that shoot nuclear bees out of their mouths fighting sharks with friggin laser beams on their heads doesn't kill people, er, people do?
