The Fun Show song (or perhaps, "The Gun Show Song")

[dwarven1]

from Tamara K's blog. She apparently composed this after attenting the Indy 1500 gun show.

Let's sing the Fun Show song!


Flintlocks and Flop-tops
And Number Three Russians
Black-powder Mausers
From jackbooted Prussians,
Shiny Smith PC's from limited runs
These are a few of my favorite guns.

Socketed bay'nets
On Zulu War rifles,
Engraved, iv'ried Lugers
That make quite an eyefull
Mosin tomato stakes sold by the ton
These are a few of my favorite guns.

Rusty top-breaks!
Smallbore Schuetzens!
And all of Browning's spawn
I just keep on browsing my favorite guns
Until all my money's gone.

Since Sound of Music is a favorite of my daughter's and I've watched to more in the last 10 years than I'd ever want, I just sang that song in my head...and now the tune won't leave. At least I have new words.

Ross!

You wouldn't happen to be getting geared up for some late night filking!

 

[dwarven1]

Oh... I think I will, John. I can just see some of the liberal fen's heads explode when I sing that!!

Damn, that's got me thinking about all the cool guns that Captain von Trapp must have had. A Navy Luger, at the very least. Probably some really nice Mausers and drillings too.

I like it Ross, thanks for posting.
