Blast the Hell Out of Turkeys

I'm enjoying my daily ritual of watching the wacky antics of Mr. Noodle on Sesame Street/Elmo, when my daughter, as she is prone to do, starts playing with the remote and flips on some outdoors channel. Next thing I know, carnage breaks out.

Tom Teasers, shooting the sh*t out of birds, and terrorizing children and parents since God-knows-when.

Kids hate to fish? Add a rocket launcher

I never liked fishing. Just staring out at the water for hours. Waiting for something to float to the surface. My Uncle Dominic used to take me to do the same thing but at least we got to dump a body in the water and not a little hook with a worm on it. He would also buy me an ice cream if I promised not to rat him out.

To get kids hooked on fishing (PUN!) the people at Spinmaster developed the Rocket Fishing Rod.



I don't know if we are talking about the same thing, but I was always taught to catch the bush. The product even has the backing of the Ric Flair of professional fishing, 19 time champion Roland Martin. If I ever watched a second of fishing I'd know who the hell he was and might be impressed.

Look for other great products like the Rocket Deer Hunting Rifle that launches a safe, harmless styrofoam rocket at your target then opens up into a large hunting knife and stabs the deer in the eye.

What Happens When You Mix Joe Thomas and Gunowners?

You might remember on draft day 2007 seeing Wisconsin lineman (and soon to be Cleveland Brown) Joe Thomas fishing on Lake Michigan. Prepare to see more of that citizens of Ohio.

From Don Walker at the Badgers Blog:

Former University of Wisconsin football star Joe Thomas is a TV star, too.

Thomas, an offensive lineman in his second year with the Cleveland Browns, will be co-hosting "Outdoors Ohio with D'Arcy Egan and Joe Thomas" on SportsTime Ohio. Egan is the outdoors writer for the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

But producers should beware of mixing Thomas and gun owners...
