I had another relative who was out hunting pheasants. Came back empty handed. He still was holding his gun when his wife pointed outside from the doorway. “Look at those beautiful birds!” [Pheasants.]

“Bang!” Shot through the screen door.

He was in the dog house with his wife and kids for some time.

An inlaw was out driving when a wild turkey crossed the road. He hopped out and tried to catch the turkey with his bare hands. Mission failed.

Warlord Attila the Hun’s meeting with Pope Leo the Great
http://holymotherchurch.blogspot.com/2007/01/warlord-attila-huns-meeting-with-pope.html

“One of the most spectacular events to happen during Leo’s papacy was his encounter with the ruthless Attila the Hun, known as the Scourge of God, whose goal was world domination ... An interesting fact is that the history of Venice is intertwined with that of Attila the Hun. To escape the brutality of Attila, many Italians fled to the islands of Venice for protection. Eventually they built a great city there [gives you an idea of how unstoppable Attila’s vast army was] ... [When the Pope met him] Attila saw Sts. Peter and Paul appearing with swords standing near the Pope.”

[Historians have trouble believing this this miracle of antiquity. But what about this?]

http://www.sydney.catholic.org.au/news/latest_news/2010/20101110_1098.shtml

“Three years later in 455, when Rome was captured by the Vandals under Genseric, St Leo again revealed his courage and extraordinary powers of persuasion and after the invaders had been in the city for two weeks and already begun their plunder and looting, he managed to elicit a promise that this would cease and the neither Rome’s buildings or inhabitants would be harmed.”

[Persuasion of that kind is rare. It makes more sense that miracles were involved.]

So who was it who first whipped up muslims to riot in France? [reg. above post]

... An earlier cable, from August 2005, lectured, “France not only has a problem with integration or immigration; it also needs to act to give Muslims a sense of French identity.” [snip]

Despite everything that has taken place, I still find Condi to be exceptional. However, what was once a positive view is now a negative one. I view her impact to have been exceptionally negative.

Mad Men Star Thinks Having Kids is Irresponsibly Hurting Environment
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2631060/posts

Impy’s response:

I love the show. His character is one of the most interesting.
This guy is out of his mind. He gave away ALL his stuff cause he thought it was chafing him or something. His car, he thinks it’s nice getting places slower. His bed. His toilet! He allegedly used his neighbor’s john for several days before he got a new one.

I am glad he doesn’t plan to breed for fear hereditary insanity may be playing a role in this.

And Vincent, if you ever decide you don’t want your money there are many worthy charities, like the Anti-Cruelty Society, the Salvation Army, or Impy’s bank account. Just putting it out there.

I hope he doesn’t go so crazy that he quits or gets fired from the show.
