    I hope he's better at hunting than he is at writing.

    Imagine you're a deer. You're prancing along, you get thirsty, you spot a little brook, you put your little deer lips down to the cool clear water... BAM! A fuckin bullet rips off part of your head! Your brains are laying on the ground in little bloody pieces! Now I ask ya. Would you give a fuck what kind of pronouns the son of a bitch who shot you was using?

    And Gannett's looking to fill the slot.

    They left off - Won't shoot deer from their car window.

    I'm still shaking my head at this one. Stuff like this is hard to come back from.

    It was a Gannett paper? That explains it. The writer forgot to mainstream his deer shooting.

    That's one hell of a job description. They're probably offering $30K.

    If I was the deer getting shot, nope, couldn't care less about pronouns. I'm not the deer, however. This is a journalism board, and I was commenting on the quality of the journalism.

    So the Reno paper had a full-time outdoors writer?

    And it's former outdoors writer had never hunted before?

    Geez.
