How many innocent clay pigeons had to die for her to win her gold medal?

“How many innocent clay pigeons had to die...”

Ha!

Everyone thought they were so innocent and pure, but you forget, they still had feet of clay...

(Oooo, that was bad! I will go away and hang my head in shame...)

An amazing feat, especially since she switched to skeet after women’s doubles trap was dropped from the Olympics. Two very different games. Plus Olympic skeet is much more demanding than “American” skeet.

She shot 500-1000 targets a day, every day, for a year to hone her skills.

Save the skeets!

Preserve skeet habitat.

My mom was an Ace shot on college team..Never picked up the sport myself. BUT my son's first shots with a BB gun took the head off the rooster on the copula's weather-vane. He's discovered the sport as an adult. Shame on me for not encouraging his talent.

She was 17 or 18 when she won her first olympic gold.

I have always been a little irritated that the media ignored her accomplishments.

I have yet to find a good recipe for skeet, anyone have any? Still tastes better than coot or scoters though.

You gotta boil 'em a long, long time. Even then, they still taste kinda chalky.

When does Obama start apologizing? The Americans win in a shooting sport.

Marinade in soy sauce and olive oil for 2 years. Than slow cook for 2 weeks in a cock pot.
Let me know what you think...if you live.

I think they taste kind of like chicken made from chalk.:)
I can’t stop.

Anyhow Hooray for Kim Rhodes!
BTW It probably wouldn’t hurt Romney if he would hang out with her for the day.
