But Dave Barry IS a humor genius and you, Dr. T, are just a fool.

If this is an example of Mr. Fleming’s humorous writings, then I hope he has other employment. This article makes Dave Barry look like a humor genius.

What if I kill dinner WITH my computer? I could throw a laptop pretty hard, and the mouse would make a perfect thing like those rocks on a string the aborigines used, the kind you swing around and around and hopefully bash your dinner in the skull instead of your own skull.

I didn’t kill my own food before I had a computer. But I have deer in my front yard all the time. I would never kill and eat one of them. They are all hairy, and full of blood and guts, and they look even more gross when they are dead.

It’s a whole lot easier to order in with a computer. So I will keep my computer that food may continue to magically appear on my doorstep.

Worst column ever! Frank J. no longer has “it”! No mention whatsoever of the millionaire Zynga, and actual people giving him actual money for virtual products!!!

You wouldn’t be surprised if you paid attention to what I say. Capitalism is not perfect, nor is socialism or all the other systems. But the proper combination of the best features of them works better.

Computers control me, I admit this. I now need my computer every day. I hate admitting this. I have lived 24 hours without one. That’s about it.

I suspect Fleming is writing tongue-in-cheek but I don’t know for sure. I kill four deer each year, butcher them myself, give some away to people I know who are hungry, and eat the rest. I also use and enjoy a computer: to read the news, share opinions, and write books and stories.

Someone above mentioned he or she did not recommend killing libs. I disagree. It is a fine idea if you don’t eat them, or even approach them afterward.

5. Ruebacca:

there is a book called Hellpig which describes hunting wild boar in Lousiana. here’s a link.

http://www.amazon.com/Hellpig-Hunt-Adventure-Wetlands-Mississippi/dp/1590770099/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1257104952&sr=8-1

personally I liked Humberto’s Hell Divers Rodeo better …same crazy people …different day.

I know the piece is satire but it does bring up some interesting points. There are not that many wild animals around that you could even feed the world for a year as hunter gatherers (if you didn’t count the domesticated animals).

if obama an company get their way nobody but true believers will want to use the net. it will be filled with propaganda and troll speak.

Look at Vivo, almost sounding like a capitalist. You go troll!
