Not sure if this was handled the best, but it sure made the rest of the game easier.

Well, you can't legally shoot him, so your solution sounds good to me.

There's always the old "Let's trade places. You come out here and call the game, and I'll sit there and act like a jackass." Works with coaches, too.

That's only true for the blue states.

Your comment cracked me up, JR. Actually, Oregon is a blue state, but it's OK to shoot people here as long as you use a hunting rifle, have a permit and you don't shoot anyone who's on a bicycle. Oh yeah - you can't do this in Eugene or NW Portland (inside joke for locals). Or, if you're a school teacher in Medford (another inside joke for locals).

That's right: in red states, the "he needed killin' " defense still works.
