SORRY, FOLKS. PARK'S CLOSED. THE MOOSE OUT FRONT SHOULD HAVE TOLD YOU.

My favorite part of the astronaut love triangle story was this item:

Police said Nowak intended to kill Shipman, 30, when she bought a knife, BB Gun, and other supplies, got in her car in Houston, and made the 12-hour drive to Orlando, wearing diapers so she would not have to stop along the way.

Who uses a BB gun these days? Seriously. Was she going to kill a squirrel? Chase a cat out of her garden? Give her a nasty welt? The thing has all the range of Stallone. (With apologies to Dennis Miller.)

That fact, of course, reminded me of the best BB gun movie scene of all time, which is found in "National Lampoon's Vacation."

Lasky, Guard at Walleyworld: That's not a real gun, is it Clark?

Clark: Are you kidding? This is a Magnum P.I.

Lasky, Guard at Walleyworld: It's a BB gun!

Clark: Don't tempt me. I could poke an eye out with this thing.

Lasky, Guard at Walleyworld: You couldn't even break the skin with that thing.
