Yeah. The birds are raised in captivity, then released as hunters stand by....
Oh dear. My dad's a bird hunter, but he hunts wild birds (pheasant, quail, goose, duck).
Oh, no, oh, no! Spontaneous poetic exclamations. Lord, spare me college boys in love.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
It looks like this guy has had some serious complications from the accident, but having some buckshot rain down on you, especially while quail hunting, is pretty common. Which is why I am not surprised that someone would treat it lightly.

Those pen raised birds can hardly fly. Sometimes the birds won't fly at all. They think you've come to feed them. That explains why Dick was aiming so low.
This is retarded. Quail are one of those birds that walk more than they fly. You flush them and shoot at them when they fly away, which means you do aim low. It's not like pen-raised quail are domesticated!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Didn't the guy go straight from the shoot to intensive care? Intensive care = time to stop treating it lightly, IMO. If they were regular people, they could then joke as soon as it was clear the guy was OK and he started joking about it himself. For the VP? No joking.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
For the VP? No joking.
When did Cheney make any jokes? The ones I've seen were from Jeb and McClellan, which bad enough, but up until this afternoon the hospital was saying the guy who got shot was going to be fine.

I laughed long and hard at TDS last night. I figured the guy was in intensive care because he was in his seventies.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Oof, this gmail IM thing is dangerous.
I have no idea how it works, and furthermore, I need to remain uneducated about it, or I'll never get any work done.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Gmail has incorporated Google Talk into its interface, so if you're logged into Gmail, you're logged into Google Talk (unless you turn it off). Plus, you don't need to download anything, since it works right in the browser.
Dangerously time-wasty.
I doubt Cheney would be making jokes about it, because that would imply that Cheney was making jokes.

I just figured out why my gmail IM wasn't working. Nobody to IM right now though, which really is just as well.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I have no idea how it works
I figured out how turning it off works, and that's good enough for me for the moment.
