Hot chicks shouldn't wear CCCP shirts. I'm afraid she's with Rangel's Raiders.

And happy birthday G-man. There's cake at my place....I'd offer to let you lick the bowl, but, well....never mind.

I'm not crazy about the CCCP t-shirt, unless her name is Camille Carla Charlotte Peterson.
Apart from that, nice!

OK, I gotta say it, and I'm not sorry:
Baby Boomers who made a virtue of higher education, while using it to dodge the Vietnam War, are now shitting on kids who believed their bullshit about higher education being a virtue instead of just a dodge of the Vietnam War.
"Heh, heh, heh.... You stupid kids ain't gonna get a job with that Liberal Arts degree, and their ain't no draft! You believed our bullshit making cowardice a virtue! Heh heh heh... Stupid kids these days want everything: a job and not getting shot by Charlie! We were happy just not getting shot by Charlie in the good ol' days...."

The chicks are hot; the guns aren't - except maybe physically.
Weapons for self defense? Sure. But drooling over them?
