There was a "Shoot Saddam" stand at Seaside this year as well.

Shooting humans in body armor continues to be a popular boardwalk attraction. :)

Yes, that would be me. Every time I'm at the boardwalk with a group its someone's duty to remind me of that. Or for that matter, it now appears to be every time that stand is mentioned. :)

I was turned down.. I'm not upset about it.
