  1. HOLY SHIT I CAN’T BELIEVE I DIDN’T ALREADY MENTION THIS.

    One of my brothers has a completely genius idea for a new sport. He’s going to make millions by forming a league, getting sponsorships, TV spots, etc. He’s already working on it.

    Competitive drive by shooting of snowmen. Points are awarded for style and accuracy. Like figure skating, each competitor must present his music to be played during his performance.

  2. Other than the guns, this is my weird synergy with jackal day. I had a pretty bad episode with geese when I was about 5. But you don’t see me blog wilding in the Brooklyn Paper about it. Get some professional help, jackal, so you can finally get that goose attack behind you and move on.

  3. When my brothers and I were shooting this weekend we had to make our own targets. Apples were pretty good for the shotgun. For the handguns we drew targets on construction paper. My favorite was a map of Europe I drew. One person would empty a clip into it and everyone else would stand around yelling to confirm hits: “Greece! Mediterranean! uh oh North Pole, North Pole! France! Africa, damn dude you can’t aim for shit!”

    “when I was a couple years old we went over to a neighbor’s house and his geese chased me all around the yard, honking and trying to bit me and completely freaked me out.”

    did this episode cause lech’s conservatism? discuss.

  5. dh on househunters: totally! they always say ‘oooh, recessed lighting!’ like its the lighting of kings. and granite, no matter the quality. and always always stainless steel. and some ppl must have wall to wall carpeting. and so many couples walk into a room and make a face about the color of paint, and say, “oh, i hate this color…i don’t know” as if that’s actually a consideration about whether to buy the house? the interior paint colors?

  6. Regarding geese:

    My older sisters informed me over the weekend that when I was a couple years old we went over to a neighbor’s house and his geese chased me all around the yard, honking and trying to bit me and completely freaked me out.
