She's the one blathering about all the Dale Carnegie courses she took and awards she won from them on her resume posted on the internet for all the world to see. But then I knew she was a little retro from her obsession with Mensa. She should be on "That 70's show." |

Oh, yeah, all those deer hunters who claim they & their families love venison. Apparently they luuvv it so much, the processing plant had to start asking for cash up front to process a deer this year. Reason being, in the past, nearly half of the people who dropped off dead deer for processing never picked up the meat. BS. They just want to kill something. I love it when they accidentally shoot each other. I don't get it. I honestly don't. Even bird hunting. The only saving grace to bird hunting is the dogs are having a great time, they're probably penned up the entire rest of the year. But freezing your ass off in a deer stand waiting on something to shoot at isn't my idea of a high time. Sherry Sherry |

Most of them aren't treated as pets. -L. |

The Chicago Tribune did an article once about the four stages of a hunter's life. During the first stage, they buy the best gun, best camouflage, and best equipment and so forth. They shoot the limit during each season. By the third stage, IIRC, they may or may not kill something. By the time of the fourth stage, they may or may not take a gun along. If they do, chances are they won't even load it. They enjoy the walk and the experience. "Hunting" has become secondary. IIRC, a sociologist observed this, and I had to laugh because most hunters I've known for years have been exactly. They go out every year and come back talking about the bird species they saw! "Let's not ... and say we did" Or fishermen stories about "the one that got away." ;^) |
