"Collaborated", eh? That could 'splain the delay...

I think the various ****ups by the Veep have been already stipulated.

****ed up in this. OTOH, the "HE SHOT SOMEONE!" coverage is pretty
chicken****, and the lack of the new stamp is REALLY nonsense

If you read the thread fully you can get my take on it.

I wondered where you were in the responses. Some people who see things
differently from you politically see the lack of an initial announcement of
one more example of Mr. Cheney's disdain for communication and penchant for
operating covertly. Remember one man's chicken**** is another man's
fertilizer (or some texan saying or such )

Actually, based on the links, there's no way to determine if
"collaborated" was accurate or not - IOW, just because it was indicated
in quotes, it doesn't mean it quoted accurately (but I'd not be
particularly surprised if it were - I doubt many Kenedy County deputies
have access to Wolfgang's dictionaries). IAC,of more importance, at
least IMO, is the alleged fact that the SS had to use ****ing cell
phones to contact the Kenedy County LEOs because of radio
incompatibility. To me. that is much more of a story than a hunting
accident.

Vice President of the U.S.? Was the Secret Service off that weekend?

It varies. A big man with a good appetite and a real fondness for
pheasant?.......a couple of weeks, maybe.

obviously a tyro... i'll wager on 3 days, tops.

NOBODY can eat 23 pheasants in one day, except for maybe that skinny
Japanese guy who wins all the eating contests.

ok...5 days. g

(and, um, steve, it's a joke... but there is this guy up in
robersonville, nc, mort hurst, who was a guiness-worthy champion eater
of collards and moon pies who might be able to do it in 3 days.

(following lifted from an article in the december 2000 issue of
smithsonian magazine, about the cypress grill, a legendary fried herring
shack restaurant in jamesville, nc) "When Leslie stops by my table, I
ask him about the most herring he's seen one customer eat. There's one
lady, he says, that eats 10 or 12 at a time — "and she's no big girl,
either." For years Mort Hurst, a local county commissioner and noted big
eater, asked Leslie if he might eat all he could for a fixed cost. "But
he's the collard-eatin' king of the world," Leslie tells me. "Set a
world record for eating Moon Pies. We won't let him do it. He'd just
stick us."

(and from some 1996 political reporters notes...)

"COATTAILS: All we are left with is local politics. “In North Carolina
auto racing draws like the church,” observed CBS’ Bill Geist, “and old
#43 is a Supreme Being. But why would a King want to be Secretary of
State?” NASCAR’s Richard Petty replied that he is running for statewide
office to offer his slipstream to the rest of the GOP slate. The state’s
Democrats complain that the logo-emblazoned Petty has an unfair
advantage in air time. “But what is an icon to do?” Geist puzzled.
“Endorsements are Petty’s life.” The Democrats’ answer is Mort Hurst,
the world champion at speed-eating collard greens: “He is the only
candidate with the name recognition to stand up to Petty”

Could be. I mean, it's certainly clear by now that their presence was not
required.......right?

So you think that shooting 70 farm-raised pheasants is sport?



I figure its just about the same amount of "sport" as catching stocked
fish.



Exactly right, John. I'll confess to having done both in
the past but given my druthers, I'd just as soon not do
either in the future. (I'll make an exception for Santeetlah,
just 'cause it's so goddamn pretty.)


I wouldn't mind shooting a few farm-raised pheasants. But shooting 70
seems a little extreme. How long does it take someone to eat 70
pheasants?


um....i'd be willing to volunteer for the experiment, assuming a
reasonably competent cook. (and no olives)


Well, not to make any outrageous claims of competence or anything, but I'd
be willing to try the cooking. I suggest we choose the venue carefully,
though. Idaho, for example, doesn't appear to have discovered the freezer
yet......and you know what they say about guests and hanging birds.


Wolfgang



you'll do. g ok, now who can we get to boot, shoot and donate the
birds? free-range preferred...

...As to the type of shot, I'd rather not have someone shooting toward me,
but I'd much rather have someone shoot toward me with one slug than a
pattern of 7 1/2's at 20 yards. In fact, at such ranges, small shot is
much more likely to cause damage than a bullet fired from a typical
hunting rifle....

Well, not to appear boastful or anything, but OUR typical hunting rifles are
bigger than YOURS.

I have, on several occasions, in actual field tests, demonstrated to the
most scornful of skeptics that mine is fully capable of inflicting
significant damage even out to the fantastic range of FORTY yards! Believe
it or not.
