OT: The Art of the Deal
I just parlayed a cat into an AR-15/M4 carbine. Yep. I've wanted a semi-auto rifle for a while now but the wife was just not having it. I even found a couple of very affordable ARs at, of all places, Wal Mart, but she wouldn't budge an inch- no amount of research or reasoned arguments ("I really want one, hon.") would sway her. In all fairness, I was the same way about cats. She had a couple when we got married and, when they moved on about 8 years ago, I vowed never again. I've held strong all that time. Well, we're at the pet store on Sunday and she spots this little grey tabby.
"Can we get a cat?" She asks, giving me her best puppy dog eyes. "Can I get a rifle?" I counter, with a hint of bitterness. She called my bluff, or I called hers- either way, there's a little grey tabby running around my house and I'm the proud owner of Windham Weaponry M4A3/SRC .223/5.56mm carbine. That, my friends, is how it's done.

Remember, Mr. Rifle does not get to play with Mr. Kitty, at any range.

I don't have a wife, or girlfriend to put a stop to those dreams... just a paranoid government prone to knee jerk reactions over mass killings.
 Thread calls for an uploaded pic or two doesn't it, so I can really get jealous.

What a great deal. Too bad I've already reached the household limit of 2 cats and one dog. Hmmm. One cat is pretty old (about 17 years), maybe I should make some plans.
Congradulations!
