This was a pretty cool experience. http://lightbox.time.com/2013/01/31...-gregg-segal/#1 http://www.time.com/time/magazine/a...2135132,00.html About a year or so ago a nice reporter from the New York Times asked me a few questions over the phone about my little UAV that I built. I was mentioned in his story and the two or three sentences made it into a few other publications. Not too long ago a reporter from TIME Magazine contacted me and asked if he could take some pictures of the drone in action. I agreed if he promised to bring beer and a few months later a photographer named Gregg Segal showed up. I wasn't sure how it was going to work, but it certainly was not what I had expected. The guy had a van load of equipment and an assistant. I figured they wanted to take pictures of us actually using the drone but instead they had us do some completely staged poses etc. It was surreal. We were out in the middle of a nasty, wet, rice farm with snakes and bugs and horrid humidity, and these dudes had 10's of thousands of dollars of camera equipment.  Gregg was an awesome guy, he put up with my bad jokes and took some pretty neat pictures. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/5jenrmv8ebfpqzy/437Tx4nahB Not too long after he took pictures of us he took those dorky pictures of Paul Ryan working out that caused a mild stir during the election.  http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs...6b2a7_blog.html Gregg had this habit of making you pose, pretending to take pictures, then telling you to relax while he fiddled with the camera then as soon as you slouched or started scratching your butt CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK. I guess that was his way of getting us to act natural. So half the pictures I'm slouching and looking like an idiot like I do most of my life I guess. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/5jenrmv8...nN/IMG_6122.JPG Some of them kinda turned out serious and epic looking.   Anway. It would be totally awesome if you guys flooded Time's facebook post of the picture with comments like, "Bushman owes me money!" or "I know that guy, he knocked up my sister!" http://www.facebook.com/timemagazinephoto

Did he keep his promise of beer, and if so, what did you receive?

Did you tell him about the pigs?

You spent all the effort spelling "TIME" in pigs and they didn't even print it? Edit: I made a mistake, Bushman would spell it "TiME". Dusseldorf fucked around with this message at Feb 1, 2013 around 04:55 |

WebDog posted:Did he keep his promise of beer, and if so, what did you receive? Actually, when he agreed to bring beer I quickly informed him that I actually only drink whisky and that it would probably be a bad idea to bring that stuff near me when I'm so heavily armed. I forgot the pig part of the story. We didn't see a damned one. I flew 6 or more flights, stayed up two nights in a row and NOTHING. Was kind of a bummer for everyone. I did wack a cotton mouth snake in half with my Kbar for him. Plus we let them shoot our guns for fun. But no flipping pigs. A week or two later I went back and slaughtered a whole family of the darned things.

What got him to interview you in the first place? Was it an article on the use of UAVs to commit pig genocide?

I think the main Time article was about civilian use of drones etc. I guess they thought my use was interesting, though I'm not mentioned in the article at all. There might be pictures in the print version, I haven't seen it yet.

Can anyone hazard a translation of the Arabic or Portuguese comments? Facebook's translator thingie gave me nothing comprehensible.

NFL quarterback Kevin Kolb hunts wild boars with a knife, but you use military-style rifles assisted with drone imagery. Can you confirm or deny vis-a-vis the comparative size of your respective penises? Don't worry, even if he's the better boar hunter, you're probably still a better quarterback

I'll ask him to do a penis comparison next time we are hanging out together, but just for the record: I didn't have any dogs with me when I did my stabbing.

Is it strange that I find it hard to tell who is who because Bushman isn't in a gillie suit with a mohawk? Because thats how I've always imagined him going about his day.

I guess print media is dead when one of the last major magazines publishes stories on sadistic gun nuts spending the majority of their time and an exorbitant amount of resources removing pests from their "farm." (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Serious question, do you realize that you might look kind of insane to outside observers? S.A. embraces dark humor and I get the impression that you approached it with that but given the current gun and drone debates do you think your appearance in Time and the framing of it might have wider implications? Do you care? I'm really not saying that to troll, maybe you don't or shouldn't care but I know if my mom saw that she would be thinking you were a dangerous crazy person.

Your mom is right. Also, serious question, do you realize that you might sound like a loving HUGE VAGINA. Edit: I'm sorry... really. That was kinda lovely of me.

About drat time. I've actually linked other people to Bushman's videos because he's awesome and that time when his daughter was eating cat food ("cat fooooood") was awesome. And the animations.Vengarr posted:NFL quarterback Kevin Kolb hunts wild boars with a knife, but you use military-style rifles assisted with drone imagery.

Hogburto posted:Observers who choose to ignore further reading on any subject have always had stupid opinions. That doesn't stop them from having those opinions, though. You think it's all fun and games now, but just wait. In a few years the Supreme Court will ban civilian-owned UAVs because "that Bushman is just too loving scary."

What's the difference between a guy with an RC plane and a guy with a UAV? about 10,000 pageviews That's cool though, the stormy clouds make those photos look pretty drat epic!

I want to go hunting with bushman and inevitably look like a pussy next to that man of all men. I mean I've hunted to protect an uncles crop but doing all that alone, bare foot, and with a spear sounds insane/loving awesome.

I'd watch the poo poo out of that, but only if he slowly morphed the accent from horribly redneckish to a posh British accent over the course of the season.
