p.s. Crow is best if you tenderize it first, and use some bbq sauce!


Not to sure about bbq sauce on crow but that reminds me of a story (You're kidding me -- Jim tells stories) OK here goes, back in the mid 90s I sold life insurance on a debit route (this is where the agent actually collects the monthly preminum). One evening about supper time I stopped in to collect from one of my "country" customers who was more country than you can even imagine. After month after month of stopping by each customer's home they became friends. What do you do when friends stop by at supper time--offer them supper of course. I could tell whatever was cooking was barbarque something but barbarque WHAT was the question. The smell alone would turn your stomach. It was absolutely sickening. Now what a delima? I didn't even know what it was but KNEW I certainly didn't want any of it no matter what it was. I politely excuses myself from their offer and after collecting the monthly preminum left. As I was leaving they let the cat out of the bag--turns out supper was bbq opossum. NO JOKE it was bbq opossum. [xx(] [xx(] [xx(]

Now there are probally some readers here who have ate opossum. I never have and don't plan to either. [V]

My friends complain when we eat Japanese and I'm always getting stuff that looks like it came out of the Klingon Cookbook (sea urchin, jellyfish with grated sharkfin, ummmm, ) but bbq possum sounds really awful.

Of course the reason it smelled so bad is that before they threw it on the bbq they probably forgot to skin it after picking it up off the roadside.

But you really haven't lived until you've been to Korea and dined local.

A buddy of mind got me once. Offered me some goldfish. Reached into the bag (pepperidge farm bag) and pulled out a handfull of dried minnows.....smelled like, well you know but not too bad. Also had sun dried octopus....kind of like jerky, but the smell. Kimchi not too bad either once you get past he aroma and the thought that it has been buried in someone's back yard for awhile.

BBQ there's not too bad either, but never did see too many strays running around......woof, woof.

Traditional Kimchi IS BURIED to aged and ferment it, so your friend was right.

I once worked with a guy who was from the Phillipines who got busted trying to return to this country with CANNED DOG! Not canned dog food... CANNED DOG MEAT!
It was confiscated...Woof,Woof.

[:0] NO NO Zardoz - it is your name I am referring to - I just think it is so fascinating, now that I know what and how! You should tell people - it really is very clever!

And....probably should be very careful about mentioning Crow around the other fowl we have here - ducks and chixs...little sensitive about those things.....

If they had offered me chocolate cake I might have stayed, still would have to pass on the entree.

My brother was stationed "over there" while in the Air Force in the 70s. He told stories like they would feed rice to a dog. They would let the dog eat alot of rice. Then guess what happened to the dog. (This is the short version) Also, those non-American people who cleaned the GI s housing would almost fight for the scraps the GIs would throw in the garbage barrell.

I have smelled ChemChi (however you spell it), not a pleasant odor.

OK - we are going to have a private conversation here - just you and me!

You have to knock off the jokes and the puns. Now I will tell you why!

I have an office - all by myself. Took me many years to get it! I am supposed to be in here dilligently working and earning my buck 2.98. My co-workers aren't very far away. They hear me in here laughing myself into stitches and they KNOW I am not working! Absolutely nothing I do in here regarding work is the least bit funny. So if you keep posting these really funny comebacks, Mook will have to hold her breath and leave her office and go "across the hall" and bust out laughing - then they will wonder what is so funny in the powder room! Do you want this on your head? I think not!

Now if I were splashed with a tank car full of kimchi, I would run not walk to the wash station no matter how hot the water was to get it off of me. That smell makes skunks scared.

I mow a lot of grass for a lot of people, so my concern is for the mower the drunk wrecked.
I did modify a small riding mower, it does burnouts and my dad clocked it at about 20mph.

Keep 'em guessing, Mookie [:D]
And when they ask you whats so funny, explain it to them referencing something from your work--they will be so confused.

Mookie coworker: "Jen, what's so funny in there?"
Mookie: "Oh, just this report I'm working on".
Mookie coworker: "What report could be so funny?"
(already they begin to wonder about her)
Mookie: "Just this report about ABC Company is applying for a permit to build a
gazebo. Isn't that just the funniest darn thing?"
Mookie coworker: "Sure, Jen. Say, perhaps you need a little vacation."
Mookie agrees.[;)]
