I am too tired to be funny, but found this question on another forum and wanted some opinions:
Our Vice President shows once again that he has not blood in his veins like you and me, but other evil bubbling substances as he shoots a friend while hunting (I know it was accidental! Please, I'm not completely heartless!).Obvious jokes aside, it occurred to me that he has company in this little club of friendly fire. Legendary college basketball coach Robert "the General" Montgomery Knight has also plugged a friend wearing safety orange. Perhaps he thought the man played for Illinois.
How much of a great pay-per-view would it be to see Cheney vs. Knight, mano-to-mano as it were, in a duel? Weapons could be hunting rifles, folding chairs, morning stars made from discarded pacemakers--whatever.
Who has the handicap here? Who wins outright? What's the over/under on survival for either of them? Choose your shooter!
Some of the predictions:
Cheney wins after donning his black helmet and firing up his lightsaber.
Knight wins after impaling Cheney with a folding chair and ripping out his beating heart.
America wins, because only in America can something like this be televised.
Don King wins. Don't ask me how. He ends up owning the gate receipts.
Cheney. Even if he didn't win, Scott McCellan would say he did...a little bird shot to the face can't kill a cyborg...it's common knowledge
Posted by debutaunt at February 20, 2006 11:47 AMOk, confession time -- I wouldn't know from Dick Cheney and Bobby Knight and dueling, but I wanted to stop in a say "hi" and let you know I'm thinking about you.
Hugs,
Kelli
Posted by: CircusKelli at February 20, 2006 01:04 PMThis is a tough one, but I may have to go with Bobby Knight because he would have better intel. I would also give him the edge because I know someone who was a "legend" while at Texas Tech.
However, I would prefer either of them in a dual with Ted Kennedy, unless they were in the passenger seat of his car. Thank you. I'll be here all week.
PS. If your sugars don't get regulated today, Ted and I are going to take the nurse out for a little drive in the Texas Hill Country.

Posted by: amanda at February 20, 2006 01:14 PMCheney would win. He is immortal. He has access to nukes. He eats beating hearts--it is what keeps him immortal.
Posted by: Sis#1 at February 20, 2006 02:09 PMHoney, even when you are exhausted you still are able to make people laugh and brighten their day.
I agree with the Ted Kennedy commment; and unfortunately I would have to give Bobby Knight the win simply because he does seem to understand strategic planning.
Keep those nurses in line Girl!!
Posted by: Cami at February 20, 2006 02:16 PMI did see a cartoon, which begs the question... would you rather go hunting with Dick or be driven in a car by Ted? But, as a Fighting Illini Fan, I would pick Bobby. Because I think the man understands strategy, and he is good with a folding chair. (and his rages were always so theatrical!)
Posted by: laurel at February 20, 2006 04:16 PMI really gave this lots of thought. I am going
with Bobby Knight. When he was the coach at
Indiana Univ. he was out of control. I think
as someone else said, he would p/u a chair
and beat the "dreck" out of Dick Chaney.
Dick might be caught off guard worrying about
what shoes Condi Rice bought that day.
Actually I think we should stage this show down
on the Jerry Springer show. The winner would
recieve a "hooker". I think behind Dick's
stuffy image he watches porn. He gives me the
creeps.
xoxox
Shoshie
PS we could beat them both with the "hat".
Why do I have to be the one writing under Shoshie.
Ask her how many times she paged me at work today?
I am going with DON KING-why because he wants
in on everything. He would produce the event and
walk off with a gazillion dollars. With his
gazillion dollars he would spend every penny
on his hair care. I think he and Donald Trump
should get together on hair styles.
Where in the world do you find these things.
Come work with me.
Love,
Nikki
Have to weigh in on this one: I'm going with Bobby Knight. Graduated from high school with his son--got that Indy connection. I figger, anyone that can live through as many Indiana winters as he did and then move to Lubbock has to be awfully dang tough! He'd beat that Cheney guy all over the place is what I figger.....Bobby's way too awnry for Cheney with the weak heart.
Hope your day's a whole lot better. You need to start stickin' up for your self, Gal. I know you're trying to stay on the good side of those nurses--I mean, no one wants to be on the bad side of the nurses--so just tell them it makes you (what's that yiddish word for puke again?) and you can't be doing that any more. I'm so right there with you on the up-chuckin' stuff. I will go to the ends of the earth before I do that! I just hate it....but you ask that sister-in-law of mine what kinda party we threw over here at our Casa for New Years and I gotta tell you, it was the first time I willingly did that to feel better! It was so bad, I just knew if I could do that I would feel better--and it worked! Enough of that.
Love the pic of Zoe and you. Just adorable. And so back to the Cheney -vs- Knight fight....how on earth did you get off on that tangent when we could have the Hedrick -vs- Davis thing to discuss.
E-mailed a friend of mine that is doing VERY WELL after a bout of breast cancer. She's just a little older than you with two little ones. She went and bought herself a little weinie dog, named her Chemo, after she completed her last round! Now that's one way to get to love your Chemo!

Posted by: Denise at February 20, 2006 08:24 PMOMG! I don't care! Hopefully they'd just beat each other, and we'd be done with both of them!!!!
