How'd that marriage turn out?

Excellent.

Ah, the gut-punch of twisted eloquence I expect.

The first time I had bear paw soup in Bulgaria, I felt like a hero. Our childhoods are filled with stories of bears eating children and then they give you a cuddly teddy bear.

STW? Save the whales?

Looks like they're gonna need a bigger boat.

Oh--of course, it's Wednesday. Duh.

Oh oh here she comes, watch out boy, she'll chew you up...

Well jl, great post as usual.
How about burmese python. Anyone ever eat that?
I've had my share of gator living in Florida but, I think our newest predator here are the burmese pythons running rampant. One ate a 6 foot gator and exploded (this was REAL). Another attempted to eat a 2 yr old girl and was thwarted by being stabbed in the act.
I have heard of eating rattlesnake, but to date, have never heard of anyone having eaten burmese python.

Note to self: write movie treatment called Gator Vs Python.

Oh my, your post is so relaxed yet smart. In comparison, my post for tomorrow looks like an over-caffeinated mental patient wrote it.

Ha OMG. Have another cup of java before your final draft!

Always look forward to your Thursday posts.

Thanks LL. Already turned it over to EL. I'm afraid her head might explode from the orgy of alliteration in it.

The funny thing is that I never even drink caffeine (it dulls the meth buzz). Nope, already working on next week's. Gotta write during those rare times when the neurons are firing in sync.

Take your narcissism pills today Owlie?

I've had shark and it's good but it still creeps me out a bit. It seems less like fish and more like prehistoric monster.

Back when they were stacking food high on your plate, I used love getting it so that I could knock it down like Godzilla or Mothra. Kaboom.

Wanna know something weird about Owl? When we were kids he used to try to see how high he could stack the food on his plate. I don't know why. I used to knock it over when parents weren't looking so that he would get in trouble. :-P

Fresh shark when fixed properly is very good! I like it.

Shark is good, but endangered, so I don't eat it barely at all any more.

Some elephants are man-killers. I haven't eaten any, though. I don't think I could emotionally handle eating any of the felines.

I've had whale, but that only works if Jonah dies, right? I don't remember much, but I don't think he did.

There has to be a list of edible man-eaters on the web somewhere. I suspect the first entry would be "man."

The do love the idea of a movie treatment for python vs. gator. It'd be even better if "gator" were the name of a programing language.

I've had marinated, grilled Georgia rattlesnake- shot in my uncle's fields with his own shotgun- and it is very tasty.
Texture like fish, flavor like chicken.

Not exactly a man-eater, but definitely a man-killer.

Watch out, I will get you

Does shark fin soup count?

John: don't give up so easily on the worms! According to 2 Maccabees 9 worms were responsible for the death of Antiochus Epiphanes. They infect him in verse 9 and he dies in verse 28. The text between is graphic, to say the least.

Canon, I don't think I want to see the Lego Bible version of those verses.

I'm having a hard time following the storyline of Shark Attack 3. I guess I'm going to have to rent Shark Attack 1 and 2 in order to get up to speed.

Angry Possum,
You just reminded me, the annual Possum Festival is in a couple weeks! they have all kinds of possum delicacies there. Will I be there?

Um, no.

Possum delicacies = oxymoron

The marriage is still going strong.

On eating snakes: I've never considered eating a python. I've long wanted to try rattler, which I've heard -- from all but one source -- is quite good ... if you like chicken.
Was it rattlesnake that inspired the statement, "if you slice it thin enough, everything tastes like chicken"?

...my post for tomorrow looks like an over-caffeinated mental patient wrote it.

sigh Oh, Bird.

Lissa, the whale barfed Jonah back up.

Shark is only endangered because John Lindner ate his share of it.

Anybody seen that Indiana Jones where they cut open the snake and tons of baby snakes slither out?

For dessert ... chilled monkey brains!

That's what I thought, Eve. Which has led me to wonder if the actual chomping is enough to count as eating, or does one have to actually digest it?

Digestion is not required

Sam, if I could bring an animal to extinction by eating it, it would be the deer. They jump out onto roads and kill my people. But they don't people. And they don't tend to live through the experience of killing. So I couldn't include them in my list of food sources that eat humans.

Oh, OMG, you said "Gator Vs Python." At first glance I thought it said "Gailor Vs Python." My apologies to all. Bad thoughts. Bad thoughts.

The story is that the great fish swallowed Jonah. I have been assuming that the event was much like the whale scene in Finding Nemo.

Yes, that's right, I just quoted The Gospel According to Pixar. It'll do until The Canon gets here.

I'd put my money on Gailor.

Most animals wouod eat you if they were big enough. Even and especially your beloved crabs.

What am I saying? They will eat you now, you just have to sink to the bottom of the harbor.

I remember going to a movie theater to watch "Alien" when it was originally released, with plans to go to a crab feast afterwards. Very bad idea.
