Keeping Up with the Johnstons
Posted on April 23rd, 2009 in Uncategorized | 4 Comments »
Levi, his mother and his sister, Mercede—which is pronounced like an incorrect singular version of the car—went on Larry King Live last night. (That Mercede is moving to New York, I’ll bet; she’s got star quality!)
It’s a bizarre, tawdry, strangely fascinating sight. How long will it be before the Johnstons become the stars of a reality TV show?
Is sheep hunting pretty much what it sounds like? And if so, how hard can that be?

Sheep hunting has a long and storied history. The lovely thing about a sheep, aside from the fact that it isn’t a terribly stealthy animal, is that if you hit it with a large enough shell it will basically explode. So, it’s a happy thing from the visual perspective. Kind of like watermelon hunting, which happens to be my favorite.

Here’s a much less captivating answer to the sheep question. The sheep being hunted are probably either Bighorn or Pronghorn. Hard to get close to animals because they are much better climbers than humans, I would assume one would need to be a very good shot and have a lot of patience to kill these animals. But I like MDV’s answer much better.

Well, thank you, but you kind of got all uppity and technical and sort of patronizing in a really effective way back there, Mr. AI (or is it Al?), so I’m just not sure I feel so happy-go-lucky any more.
To mollify myself, I think I’ll go plug a big fat juicy watermelon kinda like this:

Oops, that was me. Got so excited seeing that watermelon explode I couldn’t remember who I was!
