Our daughter is a HUGE anime fan, ksen! Y'all will have lots to talk about when we get together after Thanksgiving. She's joined an after-school Anime club at the public high school. Technically, she's not supposed to be there because they don't allow homeschoolers to take part in extra-curricular activities. But we're paying taxes through the nose for that brand new $65 million Shrewsbury 'University', so when a friend of hers started the club and asked her to join them we said "Go for it"! She hasn't had any problems, and there is even a teacher in the room with them all the time! She's enjoying the time with her 'peers', even more so because she likes Anime a lot.

She likes 'Cardcaptor Sakura' and 'Rayearth'and has enjoyed watching 'Inu Yasha' on the Cartoon Network.

Hey Sam, I just showed your drawing to our daughter, who will be called dd, (dear daughter)from now on because it is easier to type! She thinks you look like an ENT!

"But I have a harder time believing they thought they were shooting at deer THREE times."

With the exception of the seppuku advice, that reminds me of an incident a coule years ago.

2 buddies were deer hunting in Virginia. One guy came down out of his tree stand, as he suddenly had to "go," and the other guy, not realizing that it was his friend, fired his rifle at the guy and shot him in the butt.

Trying to explain his way out of this to the cops and game warden, the guy said he thought his friend's butt was a turkey.

'Course that didn't get him out of hot water at all, because turkey season didn't start for another couple weeks.

Most every year some dummy shoots someone's steer. I always figure it's someone who hasn't put in the time to figure out how to really hunt, or what it's really all about, and just feels like shooting something.

"She thinks you look like an ENT!"

Occured to me too. I was also thinking about some Celtic mystical character who had antlers, though I made mine out to be more like branches, but in the approximate shape of antlers. OT says there's also an Anglo Saxon guy like that.

Thanks, everyone for saying nice things.

Ooohh, Rush just mentioned Gone With the Wind.

"One resident, Blanche Kelly, told the Times that the squirrel chased her round the garden. She admitted she would stay indoors if she spotted the squirrel near the house. "Everyone round here is living in fear and they will not let their children out any more because of this violent squirrel.

"I cannot even put my washing out. I'll never trust squirrels again."

That's a cool squirrel, eh, OT?

Okay, so I'm here for a few. I just flamed again on the religion forum (pinged you and Smeagol). But I'm leaving there until things settle down with the family.

I'm going back now to catch up on posts I've missed since last night.

(Hair, this is for your entertainment pleasure...)

There's no such thing as a hunting accident... it always boils down to negligence on someone's part...

I like what MajGen Bedard said about "accidental discharges"...

You take a M-16 with a round in the chamber and on safe, and set on the 50 yard line of a completely empty stadium... if the M-16 goes off, that's an accidental disharge... if a person is involved, it's negligence...

[Overtaxed]

Cool isn't the word I'd use. :)

What is it with those people anyway? I kill squirrels with a BB gun.

[HairOfTheDog]

It has been a bit quiet, so it shouldn't take you long to catch up! - But thank you for thinking of me.

I am out the door for the rest of the afternoon, so let this serve as a placemarker!

[Corin Stormhands]

I plan to gloat every time a hear/read liberals whine.

Hmmmm....I think I'm beginning to understand the concept of infinity...

[Corin Stormhands]

nobody has answered a single one of my posts since yesterday...

Go over to the religion forum and tell 'em you go to a UMC...You'll get a response. I can't get 'em to STOP pinging me...
