It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

Dude. As if the Aerosmith parodies weren't enough now there will Bon Jovi filks as well.

You give Dick a bad name!

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I skipped close to two thousand posts.

Back to work after spending a long weekend at con. So far, I really don't want to be here.

The convention was a lot of fun, but exhausting due to little sleep. Drank a bit too much, met some new people and we continued our winning streak for a third year by nabbing Best Party for our Kimono Party. (The Con's theme this year was University of Fandom, so sticking to our Firefly-roots, we did things with an asian twist and had a Kimono Party instead of a toga party. It turned out really well.)

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

All other things being equal, I'm going to snare my quail quarry in future just like a good prehistoric hunter should. None of this hot, fast projectiles crap getting in the way of my stew.

Opportunity for Nutty Talk

How does it know that I'm not, like, I logged in an hour ago and then went away to a meeting? Is it looking out my screen at me??

information libertarian

I non-rock song versions of hunting accidents news, I am getting VERY DISTURBING ads in yahoo mail that feature Alyson Hannigan 1) in braces 2) in a fat suit and 3) with very large breasts on her back. Why, Alyson, why?

It's not like pen-raised quail are domesticated!

It’s true that pen-raised quail are not domesticated. It’s also true that Texas has an appalling and disgraceful tradition of canned hunts on game farms. If you are clumsy, unskilled, inattentive, and stupid, you can still get a “trophy” kill in Texas. It’s a simulation of hunting, and the people who do it should stick to video games rather than pretending that they are doing something real.

There is nothing wrong with wildlife management that includes hatcheries and other methods for increasing the population of particular species. But the practices allowed in Texas should disgust any real hunter.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Is it looking out my screen at me??

Yup. It says you're wearing red and black slacks, too.

Shaddap, you. They're all-red trousers anyway, and corduroy. It's the shirt that is black.
