Just stopped by to say that I hate this high school musical bullsh*t with the fury of a billion suns.

hmm, good for you? Did you bid on the guns to take out your anger then?

Would have been better with a Rush (the movie) Duane Allman reference.

Tom_Slick: Duane Gregg Allman reference.

FTFM Damn rectal cranial interlock.

Sheriffs everywhere are feeling safer tonight.

Explanation of the joke:

First of all, the top bidder is a reference to Sarah "Barracuda" Palin, who is female and running for VP in '08. She also hunts.

You've probably heard of Clapton, and you've probably heard of Palin.

Since they're both famous, they lives are obviously intertwined.

Since she hunts, she'll obviously buy every shotgun on auction in the world, especially if it's from her close, personal friend, Eric Clapton.

Get it?

HAHAHAHAHA

I may be missing something but I don't think so.

whatshisname: Sheriffs everywhere are feeling safer tonight.

That joke would have made for an infinitely better headline.

Seriously...this headline tried to hard to be funny or cute or something.

First thing I thought of.

I want the one he used to shoot the sheriff but not the deputy...

So Clapton has the Shotgun Blues? Is the one he used on the sheriff in there? Missed it by || that much.

Subby, you came withing a whisker of owing me a new keyboard there. Good form.

Knows an interested party.

Not subby, furthermore, your +/- 1 doesn't mean jack shiat, you can't vote.

So let me see... Clapton took up shooting only 5 years ago and is already selling part of his collection because needs space for more guns. Why do I get the feeling that at the almost 70K per, he's making space in his wallet for more cash. He's like Picasso doodling on a napkin; if he's touched "it," whatever it is, it's suddenly worth way more.

Talk about the Midas touch.

If I'm spending an average of $70K apiece for something that used to belong to Eric Clapton, I don't think it's going to be for guns.

Mangoose, try as you may, you'll never succeed in wrenching my self-control away.

It could be said that you're attempting to turn the tables as a result of failing to realize what the headline was about while so many others quickly caught on. Failure is a hard lesson to learn, hopefully one day you'll figure it out, if you haven't already.

Martstar: If I'm spending an average of $70K apiece for something that used to belong to Eric Clapton, I don't think it's going to be for guns.

I would. Once you get his guns, all his old guitars are free.

Why the fark would I want Eric Clapton's shotguns? I want his guitars. Damn, can I get a chef Ramsey circular saw and a Michael Phelps bowling ball? WTF?

/I hate election season
/your palin is stupid and mccain is old jokes just aren't funny the 10,000 time you tell them
/keep this shiat up and I'll vote mccain just to piss you off
/and that is bad news for obama

This is bad news . . . for Obama.

/c'mon!

It's Saracudda the arctic fox, Subby.

So Saracuddagurl08 would have been funnier.

Was one of them the one his son used to kill himself? That one would go for a lot more.


//tears in heaven

I'm saving my money to bid on Cobain's.

hetheeme: Was one of them the one his son used to kill himself? That one would go for a lot more.


//tears in heaven

His son fell out an open window, douche.

As for TFA, it sounds like he's into Purdey and Holland & Holland shotguns. Extremely nice guns, and they are frighteningly expensive. They're not just excellent shotguns, they are works of art and usually customized to the original buyer (they measure arm length and how you hold the gun and then build a stock to fit YOU). If you decide you want one, expect a long wait and a price tag that will more than pay for a nice BMW (and maybe a Porsche 911, depending on what you want).

Farkin'round: barracudagurl08 is Dick Cheney's Alias?

Um, thats a Kentucky Rifle.. (single projectile, rifled barrel) not a shotgun (multiple projectile, smooth bore barrel)

hetheeme: Was one of them the one his son used to kill himself? That one would go for a lot more.


//tears in heaven

His 4 year old son fell from a high rise window.... you Fail.

czecho: First thing I thought of.

"I don't even own a gun, let alone many guns that would necessitate an entire rack. What am I gonna do with a gun rack?"

Hunh...well, I guess this confirms Eric Clapton does, in fact, hunt.

Heard he was up in my neck of the woods hunting, didn't believe it at first.

\We get a silly retarded number of famous people up here.
\\Dunno why, the bars all suck and the "Mall" is just a Safeway and a Zellers Select.

someone say shotgun???

DeathByGeekSquad

Sigh.

Okay. I'll actually talk to you, you crazy, angry little man. The -1 was to your angry little rant at my second comment. The one where I said I still don't get it. Obviously you've seen this as some divine trial that you must persevere. You lost control the second you resorted to cursing. Poorly, I might add. And further where you decided to make personal slights against a complete stranger. On the internet. Seriously? WTF. Anyhow, I'll be more communicative and less coy. Is there a reason Palin is considered barracudagurl? She some kind of tropical fish enthusiast? Just curious, actually. Not some kind of divine test of your holy patience, you farking weirdo.

Mangoose: Is there a reason Palin is considered barracudagurl?

Google is your friend.

this does NOT mean Clapton "hunts". It means he owns guns - guns are like guitars - they are beautiful pieces of wood and metal. they can be looked at and fondled, or shot at targets, wives, intruders, politicians or other vermin.
