why i am friends with t alan lusk...

after two days of meetings and a lot of church talk (we are starting a new church in BR sometime after the first of the year - the ring community church), it was time to fry some turkeys. jake, reaux, t, and i were in my backyard deep-frying turkeys for a community group thanksgiving dinner on tuesday night. it takes a while for them to fry, so we had to find something to keep us entertained. we took turns splitting wood with a wedge and sledge hammer, but that only made us tired. so we got out the old BB gun and started shooting things (yes, we are all grown men with jobs... but who can resist a BB gun?). one thing led to another, and... well, t let jake shoot him in the butt with the BB gun from about ten feet away.

that is why i am friends with t alan lusk.

Only ten feet?

Well, you could have taken a bullwhip and tried to knock a piece of paper from his mouth.

I can't wait to get back home.

that's nothing... you should hear her at the office. i've learned more ethnic slurs from her in the past two year than in all my years in c-town combined.

I'm not as sharp with my Bible drills as I used to be, but isn't there a verse about a time to laugh somewhere in there as well?

I laughed at the story as well as the comment section. But I laugh at pretty much everything, so my point might be moot.

Ha, I just said moot.

well lebraix, it was not a direct hit to the flesh. we are immature, but not quite as jonny knoxville/jackass as we used to be. the funny part is, we had T convinced that jake was going to hit him in the wallet...

technology, people! surely one of you has a camera phone... pictures - or better yet - video!

i would have loved to see that whole scene... i can picture t's face when jake "missed" the wallet... awesomely good stuff.

i've read this one too many times, and it's still laugh-out-loud funny!

you guys rock!

What a great comment section!

Sorry I'm late. I wanted to add to the story. We only pumped the gun once so you could actually watch the bb drop from the time it left the barrel. That's one of the funny things. I couldn't have hit that wallet if I aimed at his ear. The funny thing to me was something my dad had done to me a million times. Wether it be pulling teeth or competing in anything my dad has always pulled the "on 3" joke. It's not even that original, but I still have a huge grin on my face as I type this. We told T that I'd shoot him in the wallet and it wouldn't hurt and that I was going to shoot on 3. One....tw-powwww. He can't really blame me for shooting on two, Josh's gun has a hair trigger.

Josh is right lebraix. It was as appropriate as a bb shot to the but could be. Pants were on. The only questionable part was when Rodney pants'd T to make sure he wasn't bleeding. It was only like 5 pm but that moon lit up the backyard.

Everybody, you gotta believe me when I say that we had been in serious deliberations up to that point. two pretty hard core days of constitution/by-laws work takes a lot outta you. I think someone getting shot in the butt really was inevitable.

Why'd Meg have to use the A-word. Everyone else said butt, Allison, tell her again that she's really not that special.
