Q: Choosing a Pentax prime lens
A: Do you know?

When JPG came out with a Photo Challenge to "make a photograph of your least favorite word" Cheney immediately came to mind. After his unfortunate hunting accident I figured I'd spell the name out using some of the old ammunition that goes with my grandfather's Marlin model 1898 repeater (my grandfather was a much better hunter than Big Dick-to my knowledge he never accidentally shot anyone while hunting). The ammo is so old I don't dare try to fire it.
The photo isn't that great, but then I'd say I'm no better at photography than Big Dick is at hunting.

This song's for Dick:
"'Here's a song about every cowboy's real first love. It's not his horse, it's not his girl, and it's not his pick-up truck. Where have I heard that before? I sing this song a little different everywhere I go. This is the way them old boys down in Texas like to hear it.'
I was born and raised way out west
But the thing I love 'bout livin' here best
It ain't the mountains, the valleys, the hats, or the boots
It's havin' plenty of guns and something to shoot
We got shotguns and sixguns, we got a shitload of guns
Shootin' varments and critters, is a shitload of fun
I don't care about the money, I don't care about the loot
Give me Jack Daniel's whiskey and something to shoot
Now there's a whole herd of elk, right there in a line
But it's a pain in the ass to shoot 'em one at a time
And I'm way below quota; I've had a bad day
Boy what I wouldn't give for just one hand grenade
I don't care about the future, I don't care about the past
As long as I've got some creatures to blast
We got deer, we got elk, we got ol' owls that hoot
And when I've killed them all, they'll be Yankees to shoot
Don' 'cha tailgate me son get off my back
I gotta thirty-ought-six right here in the rack
And this ain't New Jersey; We don't honk, we don't yell
And if you touch that bumper I'll blow you to hell
'Everybody sing a long with me now'
I was born and raised way out west
And the thing like 'bout livin' here best
It ain't the mountains, the valleys, the hats, or the boots
It's havin' plenty of guns and something to shoot
It's havin' plenty of guns and something to shoot"
Thanks to Thad Zajdowicz for the spotlight.

Andrea Petersen gave props (29 Aug 2009):
I decided quite early in life that I would never hold a gun in my hands again after my father tried to teach me how to target shoot when I was 10 years old...I didn't know how to hold the gun and the bullet dropped down right in front of our feet... Dick Chenney never should have held a gun in his hands either and I'll bet he never goes hunting again:) Maybe photography would be safer in his situation (and mine) shooting with a camera.
