Buy a new truck, get an AK-47.

I been thinking about getting a new truck, too.

This part is just bizarre:

"Them guys next door that are giving away AK-47. I was shot 14 times by that rifle. It's a hell of a rifle. Kills a lot of people. They've got no business giving those rifles away."

Because the AR-15 or some other rifle only shoots warm fuzzies, I guess?

Just a gimmick, but at least they're also offering the cash value - only $400 - as an alternative. But apparently gimmicks work on some people as the quote indicates:
"People are calling us, don't believe it. They want to come in and see it. We have some people that don't believe it. In fact, as I told them, listen; you can do this on your own. You don't need us."

My guess is that you could get 400 bucks off a truck locally... and then just buy a AK for that amount (spending more or less depending on what you really want) and then save your self a long drive.. noting that some of the states you drive through might not like someone riding around with one of them commie guns in a mostly American made truck :-)

Where the hell can you get a new AK47 for 400 dollars?

I don't see anything saying it's new, but in any case one of the big wins of the AK designs has always been that they are simple to maintain and operate, reliable, and cheap to manufacture. This derives from Mikhail Kalashnikov's experience with Soviet weapons from before WWII, which tended to be none of those three.

He's a fascinating guy -- still alive and kicking at the age of 90.

I know of several places. They're actually pretty inexpensive. Why? You feel like trading up?

[Chutney Daftcraft]

Not trading up, adding to the collection.

Also, I am not a fan of manufactured pegboard. It's flimsy, and the holes are too small.

I really don't feel like drilling all the holes myself, so I think I may have just thunk me up a solution!

Also, this is Central Florida for ya... My guard and I have this game we play when we're bored, it's called the 'Central Florida Game'.

We get three chances to predict the effed up news stories of Central Florida, and then pop online to see if we were right. The guard cheats though, he almost always includes 'alligator attack with an elderly resident', which is like saying the sky down there is blue.

I once guessed 'home invasion by wild animals'. I won that day...

Wacky-news site Fark.com tags stories with a topic icon (much like you can tag a thread here): "Interesting", "Unlikely", etc. They added a "Florida" tag years ago, so far still the only state to be so dubiously honored.
