Loser update.

Monday, April 15th, 2024

Our long national nightmare is trudging to an end.

The NBA regular season ended yesterday.

Detroit finished 14-68, for a .171 winning percentage. That’s bad, but it just missed historically bad.

Washington finished 15-67, for a .183 winning percentage. Again, bad, but short of historically bad.

In case you were wondering, there are no MLB teams that can go 0-162 this season. But the Chicago White Sox are 2-13, for a .133 winning percentage. Projecting that out, that’s about 140 losses this season, which I think is well within the margins of historically bad. As a matter of fact, if this holds up, it would be within striking distance of the 1899 Cleveland Spiders.

Happy BAG Day!

Today is National Buy a Gun Day. It sort of snuck up on me.

To be honest, I knew it was coming, and thought about making a post last week. The problem is, I’m just not as enthusiastic about BAG Day as I have been in the past, for reasons I’ve outlined in previous BAG Day posts: everyday is BAG Day these days, and it seems like enthusiasm for BAG Day has been waning over the years.

I do have a gun on layaway at my local gun shop, but I’m not ready to get it out quite yet. They have a couple of other things I think are interesting (a Browning Light 12 made in Belgium, and a Marlin Camp Carbine in 9mm) but nothing I feel like I have to have. And they’re still working on getting my Super Redhawk

So I’m declaring a push this year. If you want to, go out and buy yourself something nice. Feel free to tell me about it here.
