Is that Lumpy?

I’m sorry, I couldn’t resist. And that isn’t fair because I think Lumpy like attention to a certain degree.

Not the crude isosceles stance. the man was ahead of his time. If he’d been using something besides a snubbie the news guy would have been in real trouble.

He was acquitted, too: http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,765025,00.html

Hey, Time reports the news photographer went to work for Acme Newspictures. Do you think he could be the one responsible for all those embarrassing pictures of Wiley Coyote? He certainly was willing to put himself out there for his photos.

If he’d been using the Weaver stance he might have actually hit the guy. Sure does look like he was aiming to me!

You gotta wonder if the photographer didn’t go on to be a war photographer a few years later. “Heck, I’ve been shot at lotsa times doin’ this!”

Kinda scary, actually.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
