Got this from a friend the other day, a true story!
>
>
>
> Even if you don't care about hunting - Gotta Love Ted!!!
>
>
>
>
> Ted Nugent, rock star and avid bow hunter from Michigan, was being interviewed by a French journalist, an animal rights activist The discussion came around to deer hunting.
>
>
> The journalist asked, 'What do you think is the last thought in the head of a deer before you shoot him? Is it, 'Are you my friend?' or is it 'Are you the one who killed my brother?
>
> Nugent replied, 'Deer aren't capable of that kind of thinking. All they care about is, what am I going to eat next, who am I going to screw next, and can I run fast enough to get away. They are very much like the French.'
The interview abruptly ended.
A word to the wise is not necessary. It is the stupid ones who need the advice.

Didn't buy into the hype, you can keep the change.

That was kind of a funny swipe (and yeah, I'm a 'cheese eating surrender monkey' too... they said 'your welcome' for their help in the American Revolution and for the Statue of Liberty)... Ted did say that, but: 1. He didn't say it to a French journalist... he said it to a Brit journalist in an article for 'The Independent'... and 2. The interview didn't 'abruptly end'. http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/features/ted-nugent-off-his-rocker-479556.html

It was a lot funnier before I read the whole article. The article just makes Ted sound a little nuts. So is Beervana near Marsailles, mon ami?

I think it's fairly close to Winetopia...

Sorry... Only French by decent. I guess that makes me 'Franco-American' or something like that.
Beervana is Portland, OR. Home to more breweries than any other city worldwide.

I'm equal parts French, English, Polish and mutt-American, and I get a big kick out of Ted. I respect people who say what they mean and don't equivocate. Oh, he's at little nuts, for sure, but always entertaining.

I like Sweaty Ted too. Yeah, he's nuts, but that's a big part of his charm.
The whole "Motor City Madman" bit, an' that.

The man's a great communicator.
No one ever says, "I wonder what Ted means by that?"
