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]

zardoz1 first my apology

I always thought it was zardog1, that is how I saw it. It is funny how the mind and eyes can deceive each other. Therefore, I must apologize for the incorrect version. It was not intentional, I just read/saw it wrong. I hope you were not offended. I have had to eat crow a couple of times before. Just doesn't have a good taste, if you know what I mean. Please accept my humble apology.


His name - I think it is a "his" - is a story all by itself. Maybe he will tell you and maybe not, but it is very interesting! Think movie!

Or, --- what was it doing off its foundation. Well, afterwards, we know what it was doing off its foundation.
