Fun With Guns: Pub Edition
Burien, Washington, sounds like a real fun place.
An unidentified 66 year old man was at Elmer’s Pub at 1:00 in the damn morning.
Apparently the man had been outside smoking with a friend when the topic of guns came up.
He then pulled a gun out of his car and accidentally shot himself.
He was taken to Harborview and is expected to survive.
And Elmer’s looks like the kind of place to shoot yourself.
They’re kind generous with the word Pub in Burien, Washington.
Thanks to Brian for the heads up.
Hey, Elmer’s has “Pull Tabs” and “Foosball.” Probably not the place to order a Cosmopolitan, though……
1Looks like it needs a Cash America next door, dontcha think? That way folks can go borrow $50 to drink on and pay what, 300% interest paying it back before they can go drinking again.
2Be it ever so humble…there’s no place like Elmer’s. (sung to tune of “No Place Like Home”)
3The new slogan should be, “Don’t drink and shoot.”
It never ends well.
Can’t help but post a link to this, not suitable for work or mama but highly appropriate:

5Oh come on! Elmer’s? Be vewy vewy quiet…wabbit season! Duck season! Wabbit season! Any place named after the esteemed Fudd is asking for firearms problems. Daffy had his feathers numbered for just such an occasion…
6You know Washington State is another place you can buy recreational marijuana … so with the gun talk, maybe a hit or two on the ole joint … another hit or two on the ole mug of frosty beer … gun talk, marijuana hits, beer … sure, what could possibly go wrong at Elmer’s Pub?
7First, my disclaimer. I have no personal knowledge of marijuana but . . . it was part of my study course in grad school (psych degree). Reefers do not get you all excited. They pretty much do the opposite. They mellow you out to damn near the nth degree. Activity is not one of its side effects, so I really think this was a case of drinkin’ and thinkin’, so to speak. The Detroit area in Michigan was known for a plentitude of Elmer’s, but then we had urban renewal. Maybe if the picture was wide enough we might even see a bulldozer nearby.
8Okay Jaunita, you want to make fun of Burien, which is near where I live, but do you know what your Texas State Supreme Court Chief Justice Wallace Jefferson left the bench for? To defend Scientology!! Isn’t that lovely? Details at “The Underground Bunker”
