The Outdoor Pressroom has a story today about decorating for the eco-conscious vegan man.

… we see items like this “green recycled cardboard” deer head, promoted as “taxidermy without the guilt.” Made for the “modern, eco-conscious vegetarian man” who wants to “use interior design to demonstrate his masculine, yet environmentally sensitive, attributes.”

The story has a link to the website GreenProphet.com which has a whole story about an Israeli company named Crembo making the cardboard deer head mounts.

Karen Chernick, the author of the Green Prophet article, writes:

In centuries past, mounted deer (or other animal) heads were considered a type of trophy – an item that illustrated the skills and capabilities of the hunter who killed the deer. If a man had a deer head on his wall, you would assume that he was virile, manly, capable of taking care of his little woman and kids, and probably a few other things as well. But what is the modern, eco-conscious vegetarian man to do when he too wants to use interior design to demonstrate his masculine, yet environmentally sensitive, attributes? Play on the classic mounted deer head and hang a “green” cardboard version.

Demonstrating masculine attributes by displaying a cardboard deer head? I’d call it faux deer for faux men.

As I said in the title, I blame all those estrogens in soy milk.

As Tom Gresham has said, we must close the submarine loophole! I wonder if this is what Carolyn McCarthy means about the gun show loophole?

The full story can be found here. The sub had a crew of around six and could make the whole voyage to the U.S. submerged.

According to the study on the importation of shotguns just released by ATF, they don’t consider this event a sport and so many of the shotguns used here would not meet the sporting test of the GCA of 1968.

Compare this with Part I and think about which requires more athleticism. A bonus feature is that the competitor is using a Saiga shotgun. You know, one of those evil, no sporting purpose, shotguns.

According to the ATF, this would count as a sport and meet the sporting test if they were allowed to regulate croquet mallets. I mean you could kill someone with those mallets and the best ones are imported.

Tam has a great post on the lack of math skills and young cashiers.

I can’t count the number of times I’ve had to help a cashier out so that he or she could give me the correct change.
