"Don't Shoot, I'm Human" Minor league team hands out Dick Cheney Vests

'Too juicy not to do'
ECHL team plans to spoof Cheney's hunting accident



LAS VEGAS (AP) -- A minor league hockey team plans to spoof Vice President Dick Cheney's recent hunting mishap by handing out orange hunting vests with the words, "Don't Shoot, I'm Human."

Cheney accidentally shot a friend while quail hunting on a Texas ranch last month.

The Las Vegas Wranglers of the ECHL expect to distribute 1,000 vests at Friday's game, dubbed "Dick Cheney Hunting Vest Night." The Wranglers will play the Alaska Aces in the 7,000-seat Orleans Arena.

"It was sort of too juicy not to do," said Billy Johnson, Wranglers president and chief operating officer. "It's one of those events in pop culture."

Cheney's office in Washington, D.C., did not immediately respond Monday to requests for comment.>>>.snip

6. I read this earlier today - playing the Alaska Aces, even -

Fairbanks now has it's own moment:

TIRED IRON: When Gov. Frank Murkowski fired the starter's pistol for the "Jurassic Classic" Saturday on the Chena River, dozens of snowmachine racers waiting for the next race fell to the snow. The joke was designed, as Craig Compeau put it, to be a "Dick Cheney moment."

<snip>
Also wearing vintage clothing was Joe Nistler of Delta, one of the senior competitors and a man who doesn't look close to 80. He wore his old helmet, which said "Crazy Joe" on it, and his snowmachine suit from the 1960s, with original patches.

The two-part Tired Iron snowmachine rally drew about 120 competitors and many hundreds of spectators to Pike's Landing on Saturday. I could write more than a column about what I don't know about snowmachines, but I was asked to help judge some light-hearted awards, such as the "Cheesiest Sled" and the "Most Environmentally Unfriendly."
