Fowlin'
my fat pregnant wife was watching tv the other day and i sat down for a minute to make fun of what ever was on there. of course japanese tv never disappoints me. they had some guy on there who caught ducks with a huge fuckin' net. he'd sit and wait by the pond until the flew up and then he'd throw this great big net that looked like an oversized lacrosse thing into the air and attempt to snag a duck. he went at it a couple dozens times and never caught a single bird. and this was after having so sit and wait for the ducks to decide to fly up. god forbid you use a dog to scare 'em up or maybe throw a rock in the water or something.
leave it up to japan to ALWAYS find the hardest possible way to do something and then go with it ad infinitum. the gun was introduced here in the 16th century and if the history quip i learned is true the first thing the dutchman that introduced it to the japanese shot was a fuckin' duck. you figure they'd put out a bulletin throughout the nation, "here ye here ye, from this moment forth all duck hunters will use a gun to shoot water fowl instead of resorting to the antiquated action of catching them with a big ass net!"
song of the day: midlake- 'roscoe'
