What better way to bleg for votes...

By The Armorer on February 8, 2006 | | Comments (11)

...than with archival Gun Pr0n? Many Castle readers are new, or, newer, and so haven't seen some of this stuff. Hey - I know I don't routinely dig through a blogger's archives without a reason - I don't expect that you would.

As mentioned in this post, I'm still shilling for votes in the Gunnies - the Best Gun Blog competition. I'm just trying to get on the stand at number 3, folks. We're slipping, compared to yesterday, too.

To help justify the bleg, I'm offering up stuff from the archives, today highlighting the Ugly Guns of Castle Argghhh!, those weapons in the Arsenal that were subject to the no-longer-in-effect Assault Weapons Ban (also known as the Ugly Gun Ban) or other extra controls beyond your normal over-the-counter purchases.

Because of stuff like this, we think you should vote for us! Early and often! <===Click that link! Once a day, every day! From home *and* work! At Internet Cafe's! We think The BMG Trophy would look good on an Arsenal Bookshelf... but the only way *that's* gonna happen is if I steal it - unless you guys get busy.

Well, at least it's taking longer to get knocked off during this round of voting. Get cracking, guys! BTW, coloring the Castle's votes OD was a nice touch...

How many times can you vote in this thing? Been there done that a couple of times.

You can vote once a day per machine - unless you are behind a router which appears to the vote server to be the same machine (such as I have at home).

Once a day per computer through the 15th. There'll be 1000 votes, from what, 34 people total?

Yeah - and somehow, even releasing and getting a new IP doesn't work. Not that I'm looking to cheat - but heck, SWWBO can't vote!

However -just tested Barb's theory. She's right. I coulda voted 5 times at O'Hare - 1 for each of the hot spots! Mebbe on the way home... Or worse - I could be that pathetic creep/hardened criminal who drives around Tampa looking for open wifi networks... and vote from each of them!

Let's just say that workplaces are voting-friendly places as well. Not that I'm cheating, or anything ;-)

As one who only admires, and supports, our military, let me say I appreciate all the great military pictures you put up for viewing and voting. I don't get to see all the stuff you guys take for granted, or probaly just trip over. I send alot of my friends to the site to check out alot of the pix you put up. Raymond B www.voteswagon.com

Hehehehehehe. Raymond - you and your friends are only a signature and a physical away from seeing it live, if you want. Just sayin'... ;^)

What's wrong with this algorithm? I put John Lott at the bottom again last time, and he came up on top again. I suspect that most people don't think the way I do. Wait, I knew that already. Anyway, here's how I voted this time: 1. JoA, for general kewlness, and I like him. Also, he claims thyroid damage from intimacy with plutonium. Writing as a pyromaniac, I say there's no pyro cooler than a nuclear pyro! 2. Kim, for second-best Master Gunny. Unfortunately, he got 'thwartships with the South African Govt. and they didn't let him play with their nukes. 3. Oleg. He's a nice kid, but had to live in the Soviet Union for his first 15 years. 4. Alphecca. He got stabbed and nearly died from it. I betcha that's what concentrated his mind. 5.Anarchangel. He's a *good* looney. (Please don't hurt me, Chris!) 6. mAss Backwards. Also a looney, for remaining there, but downgraded for not being as picturesquely grandiose and (most importantly) entertaining as those above. 7. The Smallest Minority. Would have been higher, but for his famous prolixity. 8. John Lott. OK, there's something to be said for academic credentials. 9. Head's Bunker. Had I known more about him, earlier, I might have rated him more highly. 10. Mr. Completely. Rated last, because he started this silly thing.

Castle first, then Kim, then random selections just to confuse the bejayzuz out of anyone trying to determine voting patterns. Heh. Where are the hanging chads now that we really need them?
