- two bad marriages, that I participated in. 2) I have hunted a deer, and killed it, though I was aiming to scare it away after I couldn't kill it. One of the great ironies. 3) I have hunted a man. A rapist prowling the apartment complex where I had my first real job (gardener, pool boy, maintenance man, etc.). Unlike the deer, I did not catch him. I followed him right into the arms of the police, I watched as they took him away, and quietly retreated unseen. 4) I have written code without a good design.

The kicking cats thread got me thinking. . . What am I guilty of? I can think of one case that causes me guilt in this vein. A mockingbird kept showing up at our place at dawn singing and singing. Now I'm not a morning person so after being woken up for a few days in a row and being forced to get up, I decided to do something about it. I walked outside and started throwing rocks.. all under the assumption that I wouldn't be able to hit the thing anyway. So what does this guy do... flies up to another branch, while still singing and continues to sing and... mock me. Well, I chased it out of that tree and then to another tree... and this time took a good aim.. and wammo! Didn't hit the mockingbird. I hit a sleeping crow. Watched it fall to the ground with a thud. Felt bad for a good week. Although the mockingbird did wait a couple of weeks before returning. But he came back, and I just had to adjust my schedule til he lost interest. So what are you guilty of?
This statement is false.
I laughed and spit all over my monitor when I read this. Not because I am into harming animals probably the opposite without being an ARA (animal rights activist). It was sad but hilarious. I would have fallen over on the ground if that had happened to me. What are the odds? OMG, that was a good laugh. Reminds me of teaching my 6 year old to skip rocks. I wasn't paying attention and one wild throw later I got hit pretty solidly in the stomach with a rock that never had a chance of being a "skipper". His aim is getting better but I'm standing back farther. Being behind him still isn't a guarantee...

The ones you didn't participate in were better? ;P

Actually you'd probably get the open door. Considering your ethnicity. Now hair gel, that would be a different thing altogether.

Reminds me of a lesson I learned the hard way as a kid. Never, ever, ever, ever stand too close behind a kid much shorter than you that's swinging the bat while playing baseball. :^)

Put out a bird feeder for finches next year or a winter mix for cardinals. Their songs aren't annoying and you can find redemption. :badger:
My wife and I were talking about doing that. Of course I hadn't thought of the redemption part, we just have a lot of birds around. Although now I doubt I'd wake up to em' our brick house keeps out a lot of noise, not the garbage trucks, but a lot of noise.

I was 8 when I was standing behind home plate playing baseball in the street when the batter on his back swing whacked me on the forehead. Fatty lump.
