What is a “NRA training counselor”?
The NRA will give out "shooting instructor" certifications to basically anyone who can show other people how to not be a dumbass with a gun and put rounds on paper at 10 yards.

Pat thinks having a dad who had this qualification (not Pat himself) makes him on par with Paul Harrell or Jeff Cooper; hence the clip of him doing a reloading drill then scowling at the camera in an attempt to look intimidating.

You could always try it, if you aren’t happy with the content others are making.

for real. personally i thought pat's most recent call-in was a thrilling edge-of-the-seat listen-- every second i was wondering how far he would go and what he would say. the fact he played it relatively straight just ratcheted up the tension.
 
He just watched Master and Commander so he thinks it's hip to use naval jargon, because if he's excited about boats right now, then everyone else must be, too.
What does “stem” mean in naval jargon though? I can’t find anything online (except for the acronym for science technology etc). I know that “stern” means the right hand side of a ship. I’m not familiar with “stem” meaning anything other than a part of a plant. Which would make no sense to combine with stern.

Stern means the rear part of a ship. Starboard is the right side of a ship.

Port is the left side, and the bow is the front/forward part of a ship.

The easy way to remember that I was taught as a kid is that the words port and left have the same amount of letters and both end with a T. When you bow to someone you lean forward, like leaning towards the front or "bow" of a ship.

Ah shit you are correct, my bad! In my defence, I haven’t read anything naval in years, and I’m also high as fuck tonight.
Sincere apologies to anyone who lost IQ points or brain cells reading my comments on this.
 
Let's be honest, most people who say they read Atlas Shrugged never actually read it.

To be fair it manages to be less interesting than The Silmarillion.

Not sure who is more of a criminal against literature, Christopher Tolkien or Ayn Rand.

Oh yes, it’s Pat, in addition to being a fat cunt, he is to great works of writing what Slobodan Milosoviec is to humanitarian acts.

Also speaking of ship autism, its important to remember that port and starboard are fixed, it left and right when facing the front of the ship.
