9. Indoor duck-hunting. Now THAT is awesome.
And you don't even need hip waders.

Not that some of us wouldn't wear them just out of dedication and principle!

10. I never went duck hunting but
It's a big sport in Arkansas, where I'm from, that and bass fishing. Most folks in Arkansas that go duck hunting hire a guide. The area around south east Arkansas(Stuttgart) is where it's a big sport. You hire a guide, then you have to wear waders and you need the dogs to retrieve the ducks. The Clinton's have gone duck hunting. I've read about it in the Gazette, they have a photo as well. You can search the archives for the article.

12. Okey-doke.
I was going for another point in the poll, actually, one suggesting that Senator Clinton is donning hip waders and fondling the macho rural demographic to paint her opponent as an ivy-tower elitist.

Very similar tactic, in fact, to how Dubya painted Gore and Kerry.

22. Cute duck!
About your signature line...

I recently heard that line "Your life is an occasion..." in the movie "Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium"

It is one of my new favorite sound bites, my son and I repeat it often...

Peace.

27. We do have many ducks here, if the poll findings are accurate,
Edited on Tue Apr-15-08 10:01 AM by Old Crusoe
but they wouldn't be on DU in the first place if they weren't ducks.

So I count them lucky.

28. Having grown up in the '80's I duck hunted quite often.
It was all of this type however.

30. i saw a lady hit a mallard duck with a golf ball one time
Right off the tee. Killed him dead.

Back in the 80's I used to pay a lot of money to hunt at a private duck club. One year I figured out I spent over $100 for each duck I shot that season. I've only done it once since then.

Though honestly, I really wanted to kill the damned hunting dog more than the ducks. Smug bastard.

37. No
When we lived on a farm my dad used to hunt duck and rabbit. We ate them. Well, my parents did. I was a fussy eater and wouldn't eat much of anything.

When I got older my dad taught me how to shoot a gun but I never did more than target practice at a range. We lived in the suburbs by then.
