OT: This made me laugh

Pro golfer charged with "birdie"

It's not funny that the bird died but the scene just sounds funny. I also liked this quote:

"He just kept saying how he didn't think he could have hit it, which I think is a stupid thing for a PGA Tour golfer to say," said Jethro Senger, a sound engineer at the shoot. "He can put a ball in a hole from hundreds of yards away, and here he is hitting line drives at something that's, I don't know, a couple hundred feet away?"

Yeah, pro golfers drain shots from hundreds of yards away all the time....

Yah

That's absolutely hilarious.

I like the part where it fell out of the tree bleeding from its nostrils and then died.

That was the funniest part.

Look out, March. February is engorged and it's poking into you!

quotes:

The Cubs
even had death threats on this boy. Death threats
because the boy hit an osprey. It's a bad situation,
but death threats to a human because of a bird? I'm
sorry now, people. We even had a county official in an
adjoining county make a comment -- something to the
effect that '[Ryu] needs to have a black eye, too, and
if somebody needs me to do it, I'll do it for them.'"
---
"Just a few days ago, a guy typed up a letter and sent
it in an envelope," Lugnuts manager Julio Garcia said
in June. "He said he prayed [Ryu] got hit in the head
with a ball and was killed."

Nah

Not that funny. I was golfing a couple years ago and hit a crappy worm-burner shot left that hit a red-tailed hawk at the base of a tree about 200 yards out. It limpled away. I felt like absolute shit most of the day and wanted to quit the round but didn't. On the back nine, I'm positive I saw the hawk and it would take off for a little way, land, did that several times, and then finally took off. I felt mildly better.

I've done my share of bird hunting, but wounding or killing an endangered bird with a golf-ball isn't cool even if it's accidental. That golfer's a dick.

Remember Red, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.
