Howdy-ho neighbors, B&A Stowaway here, sweatin my butt off in a very warm place. No, not hell, the next best thing; Middle Eastern Desert. The country I am in has decided to crack down on imports to the base I’m stationed at; no pork products, tobacco materials, or peroxide (I have no idea why [...]

Always be prepared
B&A Stowaway here! I turn wrenches on Uncle Sam’s fleet of KC135R(BAFT). BAFT stand for Big A** Flame Thrower; some of my more practical and earthy friends (i.e., rednecks like myself) have mentioned that if someone needs a show of force, hook a spark plug up to the end of the drogue and touch it [...]
I wish I would what I useta could, the things I can’t do now.
Today in the News: Gordie LaBoom (a.k.a. B&A Stowaway) finally returns! I’d like to tell you that he’s just been laying down on the job, but alas, he has been overseas, working on the airplanes that keep our men and women supplied for the war. I miss the guy and hope to see him when [...]
To pee or not to pee… that is the outhouse.
During my last minute Christmas shopping frenzy, I stopped into a popular bookstore. Since I am a ninja shopper, I stopped in 5 minutes after they opened, so I had a chance to browse before indulging in a checkout line featuring only 3 people in front of me. During my browsing, I came across a [...]
White water and red necks (true story, true response)
Dear (B&A): I have sent a copy of your amazing email to our Marketing and Design teams for review. However, you do know this item was not tested for class 4 rapids, just the novelty of sleeping. We wish many more happy camping adventures. Kudos to you wild men of the northeast for surviving such [...]
Review – Stanley pocket hatchet. Too small to fail.
I thought I’d try something new for my post – as a blog author on The Sharpened Axe, I decided to do a critique of an axe! Or as Gordie LaBoom calls it, “dat h’ax”. I will admit, it was the axe that made me want to do the write-up; she’s a treasure. Walking through [...]
A partridge in very pot, and a Subaru in every dooryard.
By the B&A Stowaway (A.K.A. Gordie LaBoom) I think I would make a great president. Now, I’m not a political person, and I’m not bashing any other opponents, I’m just saying that I would be just right for the job. And here are some reasons why. No sex scandals. I didn’t lose my virginity [...]
Wit and Wisdom from a frozen redneck
I don’t have to outrun the zombies, I only have to outrun you. The bigger and manlier the 4X4, the less mud it’s ever seen. A heavy-half, fully loaded. It’s not regifting if it’s more than 10 years old, it’s giving antiques. Books with the covers ripped off are just as good. Better actually, because [...]
Norinco 12 Gauge Coach Gun : a ramble, rave, and review.
“You see this? This is my BOOMSTICK! The twelve-gauge double-barreled Remington. S-Mart’s top of the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That’s right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about $109.95. It’s got a walnut stock, cobalt-blue steel, and a hair trigger. That’s right… shop [...]
The Yard Sale
The Yard Sale, by the B&A Stowaway (A.K.A. Gordie LaBoom) So I went yard-saling today. If you are from Maine, you have garage sales (or as it is pronounced, ‘gararge sales) or sales in your dooryard (the yard out in front of the house, on the side of the front DOOR. No one ever knows [...]
