Stick ‘em Up!
Posted by: SB&C on: September 8, 2008
From all that I know (which is, actually, quite a bit.. possibly not as much as the Republican VP candidate – but at least *I* know which way up to hold a fishing rod) of keeping a firearm clean, keeping it dust and fluff free is essential.
I raise this point because I find this to be .. Odd
Okay … I can think of one reason why you *should* crochet a pink acrylic gun cosy:
Because by the time you manage to clear the thing from your holster and action the weapon, the enemy will have died from dehydration, having laughed themselves schtupid.
Yep.. Gun Control in a whole new light!

Um. Maybe it’s the color, but am I the only one who also finds it a little… graphic? OK, so there’s an extra bump, but it still.

Uh… Yarn sheds big time with the fluff balls so isn’t this a bit counter productive? Protected from dust, choked by bits of yarn?

My issue with this, beyond the fact that it’s a pink gun cozy, is a little gross–
Is it just me, or does the gun cozy look like, um, something else…that is entirely inappropriate???

OMG! That don’t look like a gun cosy it doesn’t even fit at all. I agree though it is rediculous. Why in the world do people crochet such goofy things.

It looks vaguely obscene.
Okay, it’s not so vague, really…

I have seen some strange things in my time but I think a pink crocheted gun cozy just about takes the prize!

It almost looks like it could be a “cosy” for something else.LOL

This is much less odd if you know the context….
It’s a tribute to a TV show, where a private detective knits to ease his stress; the original can be found here;

What does this have to do with the Republicans? 
But, it is a weird thing to crochet…

if thats a cozy for something else then thats a short dong and a ridiculously large amount of luggage. Grow up… PS, dont “action the weapon” keep it loaded. Some day when im married I want my wife to have one of those pink glocks… thats hot.

ahh, what kind of gun is it a cozy for – looks to me like a “body gun” cozy…

Yep, looks like a cozy for the area of the male anatomy that shall remain unnamed simply because it’s so blatantly obvious to everyone. Let us all raise our voices in praise for the demented designer who at the very least had the decency not to deck out the danglie parts with black fun fur. That’s definitely going on my list of things I’m most thankful for this year.

Being a big fan of CSI, I have to wonder what people who really do forensics for a living would think if they found a gun in one of those, especially a pink one.

um.. BKE….to action the weapon presumes it’s loaded. Besides, there’s nothing more distinctive in sound (and is a universal go away noise), than for a round to be chambered into a weapon. Especially if it’s a pump action shotgun.
That cozy thing, I don’t know, but that’s just WRONG on so many different levels.

for some reason the words to the old song “Happiness is a warm gun” just keep running thru my head
September 12, 2008 at 6:47 pm
Well, the first thing I thought of was the TV show “Pushing Daisies” – one of the running jokes is that the private detective is a knitter (he’s even saved the day with a knitting needle) who when stressed knitted himself a pair of gun cosies. I see from a previous post that this is the intention, so I can only say:
“It’s a JOKE, people!! It’s supposed to be weird!!”
In which case it accomplishes the purpose admirably.

OMG, the first thing I thought when I saw this was also “Sarah Palin!”
Then again, how can you miss?

[...] contemplative mode, I will only leave you with a couple of links for fun. The first is this lovely gun cozy from What Not to Crochet. And indeed, I think the fuzz might jam the mechanism. A definite no-no. [...]

This is hilarious, and I love it. Um, you ladies really need to get your minds out of the gutter 
September 8, 2008 at 6:33 am
I’m sorry – you sure that’s for a gun? Looks more like it’s for keeping a piece of male anatomy (plus dangly bits) warm to me?!
