You know the words, "Yeah, but think how BAD@$$ it would be if we used freaking DYNAMITE!" were spoken at some point in the discussion. This was more of a thin excuse than a bad decision.

I'm sure it sounded like a good idea at the time. But jeez, what were they thinking. Apparently they weren't. Now all they do is tow them out to sea. They could beef it up a bit and blow it up in the sea. Talk about a feeding frenzy.</p> That must have been a sight to see. I’m sure it sounded like a good idea at the time.

Mark got a BB gun for Christmas, and quickly became a crack shot. </p><p> But Mark had a mean streak in him, and used his skill to no good. He would "wing" a bird, usually sparrows, and then insert a firecracker in its rear vent , light it and let the bird fly off. A few feet into the air and the results were much the same as those in the article. I hated him after that. Wonder where he is now? Maybe Florence, OR .
