So I guess this means that a hunting companion in Cheney's hand is worth two qails for President Bush?
On a related note, President Bush plans to take Hillary on his next hunting trip...his hunting dog is sick and he needed a replacement.
NEDRA PICKLER
?
!
If that's her real name...
LOL!
How's that old Vaudeville line go?
Oh, right: Vas you dere? :)
LOL!
Unless you have a Sooper Seekrit Nuz Sauce, we're all working off the same "information" -- so if mine is "erroneous", well, then... do the math.:)
As for your tips, you can stick [sic] in your Reality Filter.
Well now there you go with that rude/nasty/personal attack business again. Gauche, gauche, gauche!
Totally nyeh kulturni!
(The only rational alternative to the above train of logic -- and I use the "r-word" with due apprehension -- would be for someone to be an uber-party-loyalist/hack, who will jump to the defense of "The Man" regardless of "mitigating circumstances", and therefore, anyone who in any way challenges the Official Party Spin is marked for attack for his disloyalty. Um, that'd be me, I reckon, :)
I like it. Great comment.
Things can get pretty exciting when you're quail hunting, you can get really focussed following those little rascals, and if somebody's where he's not supposed to be he can catch a pellet or three, and it IS generally considered his fault. Usually somebody's dog gets way up forward or lags back, and since the shooter's watching the dog, he may move out of the line without noticing.
I don't like to hunt in a crowd, because it's too many people to watch. A lot of times I just work my dog.
That too funny hey one thing for sure Ted Kennedy has one up on VICE president
One kill LOL!
And, as they say, stuff happens. A few people tried to make a Federal case of this occurrence, but it didn't work. Everyone realized that it was nothing more than an accident and we simply moved on.
You're right, but that should not stop us from having fun with it and showing how stupid they are.
In this part of the country, it's not as mind-blowing as it might be back east. Let the Democrats rail over it. This will give them something that actually happened to complain about instead of having to make things up.
Quail are instinctively, and incredibly, good at evasive action. A bird 20 feet in the air can drop to near-ground level in micro-seconds, and if there's any brush on the ground a hunter can drop the barrel and shoot without knowing at what he's really shooting. It's bad form, and very poor judgement to do so, but it can happen. I'd say its a form of bird denial panic. "It's getting away!" If you don't get your bird when it's well up above you, you just have to forget about it and move on. BTW, what happened to Cheney today is not unusual.
My Dad used to shoot 78's a lot. Phonograph records.
Hey, you use what you got. Cheney, he's got lawyers.
Actually the man was going to testify about the Eron-Halliburton Hurricane machine. /s
Pinging my humor ping list - freepmail me if you want on or off this list.
(This is usually a low volume ping)
OK guys, let's have your best shot. Here's mine:
"President Bush calls for increased gun control - - - - - - - - - - for his VP"
LOL ;^D
How true
Yeah, it seems like both of them were at fault. Of course the lefties are too dumb to notice that.
She was also the US Ambassador to the court of St James for Richard Nixon ...
???
Still bitter, huh?
There is only so much you can see with a gun up to your shoulder and your eyes on the sight and the target. That is why they are supposed to signal when they are near,especially if they were not there when the flushing began. He may be the VP but does not have eyes in the back of his head or a periscope that spins around looking for idiots that step in the line of fire.
