Live By The Shoe, Die By The Shoe
By Wyatt Earp | December 2, 2009
Remember the Iraqi shoe thrower? He was the toolbag who thought that throwing his footwear at President George W. Bush was making a statement about the Iraq War. The eeevvviiilll war that helped free millions of Muslims?
Yeah, well guess who’s ducking airborne sandals now?
The Iraqi journalist who threw his shoes at President George W. Bush in Baghdad last year had a taste of his own medicine Tuesday when he nearly got beaned by a shoe thrower at a news conference in Paris.
Muntadhar al-Zeidi ducked and the shoe hit the wall behind him.
“He stole my technique,” al-Zeidi later quipped. (H/T – FOXNews via RT)
Can you say schadenfreude? It’s a shame he only had a shoe thrown at him . . .

I love the movie Dodgeball! Too bad this clown has decent reflexes, though.

Is it necessary for me to drink my own urine? No, but I do it anyway because it’s sterile and I like the taste.

Jon – That would have been awesome. “Paybacks are a bitch!”
MeToo – Yeah, it would have been funnier if he was hit with it.
Randal – “Are you reading the dictionary?”
“You got me. I like to work up a mental sweat, too.”
The Girl – Next thing you know, we’ll be ducking drive-by throwings.
