Plaxico Burress:

Plaxico Burress was hospitalized last night after a loaded gun he was carrying accidentally fired, causing injuries to his leg that are not life-threatening, according to a person with knowledge of the situation.

The incident is believed to have occurred at a club in New York City, where Burress was reportedly with several teammates, the source said. Earlier on Friday Burress had been declared out of Sunday’s game against the Redskins in Washington with a hamstring injury.

Given the fact commenters Bob S. and Robohobo have mounted such a spirited defense of the manly Kim DuT. and the ethos of sloth, I thought I’d make amends by contributing to the manly Kim DuT’s list. The manly KimDuT has compiled a list entitled “20 Things A Man Should Do.”

This list of what a manly man- like the manly Kim DuT- should do is heavy on shooting animals and having sex. I thought I’d fill in the gaps:

21. Get a job and not pretend blogging is a career.

22. Provide for one’s family instead of indulging in romantic and heroic flights of fancy.

23. Exercise instead of developing health-related problems due to inactivity.

24. Quit pretending one’s failures are someone else’s fault. Also known as taking responsibility.

25. Family first; guns should be at the lower end of the priority list.

One of the original gunbloggers gives us all a lesson in self-reliance…and manly manliness.

He’s giving up his blog.

We need a break, Kim especially. He’s blogged every day for over seven years through the agony of gout and the depression of not being able to contribute to our financial requirements, never missing a day, never failing to respond to email questions about what gun to buy, or requests to help learn to shoot when he was barely able to drive to meet up at the range. It’s time for others to step up and allow Kim a chance to sit down.

Methinks most of what landed them is this predicament is the fact the manly KimDuT. sat too much.

Hmmmm. Let’s see. The manly Kim DuT. can’t work because of his gout. Yet, he can manage to hobble to the shootin’ range at every opportunity. His family’s in financial dire straits but he has plenty o’ guns. Oh, and despite the big time money woes, the family is taking a trip to Europe. We hear of problems meeting the mortgage, difficulties paying for health care, kids’ educational costs that aren’t being met.

But he’s still paying for guns, ammo, and range fees.

Ladies and gentlemen, the quintessential gunloon.

Update:

“I don’t just want gun rights… I want individual liberty, a culture of self-reliance….I want the whole bloody thing.”

Gee, he might start slowly–with something simple. Like providing for his family.
