So Luckygunner is putting on the “2011 Gunnie Awards,” where anonymous people on the internet choose their favorite firearm-related blogs and websites in various categories – Entertainment, News, Law, Politics, Up & Comer, Female, Gear Reviews, Forum, and Podcaster. Vuurwapen Blog has been “nominated” in the Up and Comer category, which I guess is better than being nominated in the “Down & Outer” category. If you like this blog, feel free to vote for it – winners in each category will receive a replica 30mm round engraved with something and 100 rounds of ammunition (hopefully .338 Lapua, but I’ll settle for .50 BMG).
I have actually seen the replica ammunition in question, made by my friend Mauro at Technoframes in Italy. It’s truly beautiful, first class stuff, and they make many other types of replica ammunition as well. Mauro was going to give me a replica 30mm round, but let me drive his Z06 Corvette instead. I think that in hindsight, he wishes he had just given me the replica 30mm round.
Also nominated under the “News” category is my friend Steve at The Firearm Blog. Rumors are circulating that Steve will be undergoing a sex change next week so that s/he could also be nominated under the “Female” category, and thus win 200 rounds of ammunition. I am here to say that this is absolutely NOT true – the operation took place last week. Best of luck to “Stephanie.”
*Yes, that’s actually me driving his Z06 Corvette. Well, the word “driving” is used loosely here. I should NOT have turned off the traction control…
Voting complete. Good luck!
Done
plenty of your “competitors” have comments like
-don’t vote for me
-whatever
-oh, little ‘ol me?
way to push aside humility and get to it
Humility? I am unfamiliar with this term.
You, know, when you are awesome and pretend not to be…
I have a problem with this as well 😉
Voted and commented. 🙂
For the record, I would have driven the C6 Z06 vette also. Looks like you had a blast! 😀
You get my vote… nice job!
