Tam, in comments here, says (before she corrects herself) “violating a city ordnance”

All I could think of was this:

UPDATE: No, that’s NOT me!!!

Hell, I won’t even look at them unless they’re startlingly large. Give me a girl with a nice pair of hips and long legs, and I’m there. That’s always been my preference.

But once in a while, you see a pair of hoots that just… stand out. Such was the case, last night, as I stopped into the convenience store.

I mean, wow. They were bigger than her head, each of them, and she was clearly dressing to show them off. I am not remotely exaggerating when I say she could easily have concealed a full 1911 in there, and I was trying to determine if she was, when she said ‘Excuse me, my eyes are up here”.

I glanced, to make sure she was in fact correct on that point, and went back to what i was doing, and said “Yes, but they’re normal sized”. She snorted in disgust and gave me my change. Look, ladies, if you don’t want lecherous old men to stare at your tits once in a while, you might try covering, say, a minimum of 50% of them. These were pretty obviously more on the outside than the inside of her clothing, and it’s still a toss up in my mind as to whether they were on the inside trying to get out, or the outside trying to get in.

I was amazed and amuzed at the number of us that were cc’ing at the blogmeet. I could- at my size- conceal a llama. No, not the pistol, one of these Anyway, I saw prints everywhere I looked, and I got a huge kick out of such an armed group of people peacefully eating deep-fried bacon products in the midst of Indiana’s Haight Ashbury light.

And it reminded me of something.

There are two vital amendments to our Constitution, and they form a tripod of freedom. How can a tripod have two legs? it can’t. The first two amendments, freedom of speech and right to bear arms, form two of the legs, we are the third. You, and me. We are the third leg of the tripod. When gun rights start to be attacked, freedom of speech- and US, prop them up. When WE start being attacked, our freedom of speech- AND our gun rights- keep us where we belong. And when the freedom of speech starts being destroyed, we can use our second amendment rights- if need be- to protect them.

Never, ever forget this. The tripod of involved, informed, persistent citizens, and the first of our amendments, form a tripod on which all of the other amendments are placed, and upon which all other rights hinge.

And if you never been to an Indy blogmeet, hie thee hence, it’s a hoot.
