I like Taco Bell. Always have. Used to sit outside on the adobe patio and enjoy our food and the round gas patio fires. Until some numbnut somwhere was drunk and fell into one and Taco Bell had to remove them all.

I wasn't quite specific enough. You don't need a hunting license to keep what you kill with your car. It's more of a consolation prize to someone who hits a deer. If the deer doesn't kill them. My dad had a co-worker who's son was killed when he hit a deer and it came through the windshield.

We've got deer everywhere down here. We even have the occasional bear wandering around.

The woman who cuts my hair hit a deer last year and trashed her new car. She was very shaken up and the the cops were nice enough to call a tow truck, etc. Driver shows up, loads up her car, points to the carcass on the roadside and asked her if she was intending to take it too. She told him, he would have to fight the cop over it as he had asked the same question.

A buffet at least has choice. I was being facetious with the alternative bit, but the truth is there is plenty of good food in most stores. Just buy mostly stuff that doesn't come in a can or freeze dried box. In other words, if it has an ingredients label other than "lean" avoid it (except for steak sauce and iodine in salt).

That's dirt on your fresh veggies, sorry to break it to you.

Not buying any more local 'community garden' veggies again. It really isn't any "greener" buying local because they were far more expensive, I wasted more water washing them, and time peeling off their bug-pock marked skin.

Of course there is dirt. I don't mind washing it off. As for the expense, I am ok with spending a little more, knowing where it was grown, supports my local farmers, etc Finally, the only "environment" we did it for, was our kitchen. No green motivations behind it. You simply cannot beat the taste of fresh veggies.

How about some yummy dried squid?

squid is not hu mon food....there is something wrong with a person that eats that stuff

LOL, a nice trifecta of lampooning disgusting fast foot, faux green initiatives, and the plastic enthusiasm of news shows.

re: #162 Mad Al-Jaffee

I live pretty close to an area called "Little Mexico." Lots of authentic Mexican and Salvadoran food. And there's a Latino market that has all kinds of meat, including frozen cow heads.

I went through a rural market in southern Peru once. I had no idea bulls balls were that big, and neither do the weener rednecks with their miniature steel ones on their trucks.

You should watch the receont story they did on the gymnast who was "put down" after breaking her leg. The Onion really nails those stupid pseudo news talk shows.

You try to tell me a squid is not a monster.

re: #7 CyanSnowHawk

Oh shoot. Video blocked at work. I really want to see this after going round and round with my moonbat sister a couple weeks ago about her Luddite like fear of the big bad food companies that are 'poisoning' our food with all kinds of 'chemicals' and really scary genetic modification.

I wonder if she'll fall for the dihydrogen monoxide ruse?

There's a guy I work with like this. Believes every quack he reads on the internet. His favorite line is "you cant patent natural foods/cures so the big agra/pharma companies are poisoning you and ripping you off". When I mention how big of a billion-dollar-plus industry "alternative medicine, suppliments, and organic foods" industries are "oh but thats different!"

re: #188 RunningBare

I know the state of New Hampshire used to do that. You could either keep the deer, and pay for your own repairs, or give the deer to the state (who used it for feeding the homeless, etc...) and they'd give you a voucher towards the car repair...

That sounds like a pretty good deal, actually. Where we live in Ohio, they just come get the deer, there's no compensation for fixing the car.

Try telling Asians that. Dried squid is actually quite good. :)
No bugs or grubs for me, though. **ick**

I'd say something about roadkill and its uses, but Charles wouldn't like it. It was quite amusing, though :-)

I'd use the flute bag I made out of a coyote, but living on the Left Coast, well...

That said, one day I want to go to downtown Seattle and throw paint on the dogs that people are walking, while screaming "FUR IS MURDER!"

Remember Reagan trying to classify ketchup as a vegetable for the purposes of school lunch?

He should have reclassified it as a fruit.

Heinz Ketchup now touts the amount of lycopene in its product.

re: #29 KenJen

I can't eat Taco Bell. Loved it when I was younger. One day I found a brown tublar thing in a taco. It looked like a brown vein. About 2 inches long. Never have been back.

My mom found a small, rectangular strip of metal in a TB burrito once. I think she settled out-of-court with the insurance company.

I seldom eat at Taco Bell because I have access to REAL Mexican food in several places in close proximity to my house.

re: #189 tradewind

What, is there some kind of purge going on in Hollywood?

I feel sorry for anyone with hay fever walking down Hollywood Blvd.

Just throw the word "Eco" in front of it - and bammo!
