BEER ROASTED CAT - DO NOT USE BEER

1 cat cut into roast
1 can of Campbell's Cream of Mushroom soup
1 cube of beef bouillon
1 clove of garlic
1 Fine Irish Stout, a lot like a popular dark Irish Beer

Scrape Cat. Cover and soak cat roast in salt water for 24 hours. Drain water and then cover and soak in beer for 6 hours. Drain and place in crock pot with your cans of soup. Add a clove of garlic, and a cube of beef bouillon.

If you start to slow cook your cat in the morning with your George Foreman Cooker (or it's ilk), you'll have finely cooked feline in time for supper.

EDIT: It'd take more than just a few beers for me to try this....

If a slow cooker is not available, bake at 350 degrees for 2-3 hours in a conventional oven.

Serve with mashed potatoes, collard greens, and fresh, homemade egg rolls.

Skinned Cat Cat may not be the most glamorous, or tastiest of game meats, but with a little thought and preparation, Baked Cat can make the belly of the persnicketiest diner glow with home baked goodness.

You mentioned my secret ingredient!!! I love cats, now I can love them even more.

Beef Bouillon, and a Chuck Norris slow cooker.

1675 And to think of all the meals I have flushed down the drain. :)

1676 - My dog thinks the cat's litter box is a 24 hour drive-thru window. I think he likes the free "Tootsie Rolls".

1677 squirrels running back and forth over my roof are making me hungry. Time to lay the peanut trail.

I may never go grocery shopping again. Except for beef bouillon. Makes everything taste great but not ice cream.

Had?

It's still being run nightly here on the local PBS stations, as are a lot of BBC comedy programs; been that way for longer than I can recall. Nearly all beat the hell out of most US sitcoms.

Unfortunately, such is no longer the case for Doctor Who and Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. :(:(:(

Women have a most peculiar sense of humor. They claim that a man's ability to make them laugh ranks as the no. 1 factor when judging his suitability, yet they continually spurn our efforts to do so.

That which, if said to a man, would evoke a ROTFLMAO response, does, when said to a women, instead gets us a look of distain, along with "That's sick/not funny/stupid/retarded/disgusting/ et cetara."

We can't win. :(

Ever tried fishing for pigeon? Beats cat-snacks any day, also unusual sensation reeling in your catch from the air. I fully confess to this whilst flat busted in Corfu many many moons ago! Best thing I ever ate Bar-b-qued on the beach at Kavos. Funny how hunger sharpens taste buds!

Besides as my Kefalonia message forum is called "That Darn Cat" I do not feel the urge to eat a "Bro"

1700 - Boy, it's slow in here today, Easter must have arrived early in some parts.

Once upon a time, in a land, far, far far away, lived a little gnome and that little gnome was a nasty little gnome. One day he went too far and ate all of the farmers daughters. They caught the horrid little gnome and threw him alive into the oven on the farmers range.

It's one of the perks I enjoy as a constant source of irritation to those around me. LOLz.

[Dubbya]

1704 - Here's my "Andy Rooney" thought of the day:

I find it quite amusing when I hear people say they feel "nauseous" when what they really mean to say is that they feel "nauseated".

Saying you feel "nauseous" means that you feel as though you're nauseating to others instead of simply suffering from nausea.

1718 - Thanks Ctabuk! Just getting ready for the Easter egg hunt this weekend.

[deepsand]

1719

Do you use a rifle or a shotgun for hunting Easter eggs?

[astro]

Depends on how far and fast they run before you take the shot

1720 mph................

astro

[deepsand]

1721

Size and shape are factors also.

The smaller & more elliptical, the more likely they are to suddenly veer off in a different direction, making a shotgun the better choice.

For the larger, more spherical ones, a rifle, in the hands of a sharpshooter, will generally suffice.

[mikmik]

1722
It depends on the age of the eggs. Once they have learned to fly a shotgun is best. Personally, I like to get them when they are still in the rabbit nests on the cliffs. I always take mates to be safe - here is actual footage of a hunt:

Words and Music by Tom Paxton

President Carter got into his boat;
Wasn't in a hurry, wanted to float.
Think about the country, think about sin.
Along swum a rabbit, and he tried to climb in.
(spoken) "And what did Jimmy say?"

[Cho:]
"I don't want a bunny wunny in my little row boat,
In my little row boat in the pond.
For the bunny might be crazy and he'll bite me in the throat,
In my little row boat in the pond."

Look at him swimming, look at him fly,
Ears laid back and a gleam in his eye!
Hissing through his front teeth, swimming like a seal!
If you were the President, how would you feel?
You'd prob'ly say,

[Cho:]

President Carter saved the day;
Splashed with the paddle, rabbit swam away.
Jimmy was a hero, felt it in his bones,
Said in the words of John Paul Jones,

Smart move by Jimmy. 'Specially wepuclican wabbits are know to inhabit cliffs and lakes as well.

I always send the little ones, under 5 years of age, out on easter egg hunts.
They make smaller targets for the bunnies. Unfortunately, they don't have the mass to absorb shotgun recoil, let alone from 50 mm semis, so I send them out with baskets.

Here's a mafia joke I just came across:

A Mafia godfather finds out that his bookkeeper has cheated him out of ten million bucks.

His bookkeeper is deaf.

That was the reason he got the job in the first place. It was assumed that a deaf bookkeeper would not hear anything that he might have to testify about in court.

When the godfather goes to confront the bookkeeper about his missing $10 million, he brings along his attorney, who knows sign language.

The godfather tells the lawyer, “Ask him where the 10 million bucks he embezzled from me is.”

The attorney, using sign language, asks the bookkeeper where the money is.

The bookkeeper signs back, “I don’t know what you are talking about.”

The attorney tells the godfather, “He says he doesn’t know what you’re talking about.”

The godfather pulls out a pistol, puts it to the bookkeeper’s temple, and says, “Ask him again!”

The attorney signs to the bookkeeper, “He’ll kill you if you don’t tell him!”

The bookkeeper signs back, “OK! You win! The money is in a brown briefcase, buried behind the shed in my cousin Enzo’s backyard in Queens!”

The godfather asks the attorney, “Well, what’d he say?”

The attorney replies, “He says you don’t have the guts to pull the trigger.”

Yes, Mikmik, I know about being crushed by PMS. And ripped to shreds by it. That's why I did :) when I had my hand crushed. Much less pain.

The book case is repaired, new furniture delivered and fitted in. so my wife said: "When I am at work, why not go off to the beer festival, tomorrow?" (She's working, couldn't get the week off, as she is new to the job.)

I wonder who was the better shot, Crockett or Daniel Boone
Well, Daniel did bring fame to the Pennsylvania Long Rifle. From Long rifle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_rifle) :

"The longrifle is said by modern experts to have a range of 80 to 100 yards. This figure is meant for the normal or novice user. A trained, experienced shooter who knows how to take variables into account such as (gunpowder) load, windage, drop, etc. can easily extend the medium range of the long rifle to 400-500 yards. In 1778 at the siege of Boonesborough, Kentucky, one of the officers of the combined British/Shawnee assault force was hiding behind a tree. He stuck his head out from behind the tree and was instantly killed by a ball to the forehead fired by none other than the legendary Daniel Boone, who was known for always firing the same fixed measure load of blackpowder in his rifle. This shot was later confirmed by witnesses on both sides and the distance measured at 250 yards.

And, I can say that both my father & I, his descendants, shared his marksmanship skill. Whether or not there's a genetic basis for such I've no idea.


Fess Parker played the part - by memory - not that I'm old enough to remember - unlike Dubbya :D
Yep; Fess it was.

[ctabuk]

1793 - I like shooting too. A natural eye is a great advantage.

[deepsand]

1794

A "natural eye" - don't ask me for a definition - combined with the right firearm.

For example, with a Luger, and its particular grip angle, I'm dead on with point-and-shoot.

On the other hand, with a Colt .45, beyond a fairly short range, I'm lousy using, and only slightly better not using, the sights.

Ah Yes Biggles! Read every one as a kid! How I wish I owned all those first editions now!!!! God knows what happened to them all. Has anyone still got their books they had as a child? In Britain the chances are the answer is no. This is due mainly to a phenomenon knows as "Booting"

1807 Just read this, I had to share.

If you ever testify in court, you might wish you could have been as sharp as this policeman. He was being cross-examined by a defense attorney during a felony trial. The lawyer was trying to undermine the policeman's credibility..

Q: 'Officer -- did you see my client fleeing the scene?'
A: 'No sir. But I subsequently observed a person matching the description of the offender, running several blocks away.'
Q: 'Officer -- who provided this description?'
A: 'The officer who responded to the scene.'
Q: 'A fellow officer provided the description of this so-called offender. Do you trust your fellow officers?'
A: 'Yes, sir. With my life.'
Q: 'With your life? Let me ask you this then officer. Do you have a room where you change your clothes in preparation for your daily duties?'
A: 'Yes sir, we do!'
Q: 'And do you have a locker in the room?'
A: 'Yes sir, I do.'
Q: 'And do you have a lock on your locker?'
A: 'Yes sir.'
Q: 'Now why is it, officer, if you trust your fellow officers with your life, you find it necessary to lock your locker in a room you share with these same officers?'
A: 'You see, sir -- we share the building with the court complex, and sometimes lawyers have been known to walk through that room.'

The courtroom EXPLODED with laughter, and a prompt recess was called. The officer on the stand has been nominated for this year's 'Best Comeback' line -- and we think he'll win.

I do know "boot" as it relates to cars; it was the usage within the context of children's books going missing that baffled me.

Presumably it's the the parents "booting" the books after they've given the kids the boot.

BTW, might the displacement of "boot" by "trunk" with respect to a car's storage compartment also owe to the latter's also referring to a place where booty was kept?

1834 - Andy knew that an effective communicator only needs one bullet.

I think calibre, rate of fire and magazine capacities have increased in direct proportion to man's inability to communicate effectively.

There's no message one can send with a bullet that can't be more effectively expressed with a soothing tone, a firm hand and a baseball bat.

Grandmothers & mothers-in-law are generally the more easily pleased. :D

Wives seem to tend toward wanting a day that's devoted to caring for and about them, rather than physical gifts. :o

Mothers - now that's always a tough call. If your father still lives, I'd suggest that you ask him. He may not know what she'd like; but, he probably has a good idea as to what she doesn't like! ;)

Best wishes in these endeavors.

1870 The same thing happened to my father, but I put that down to WW2 - he got wounded. Dreams are great though, you get to talk with them all over again.
My father was rather reticent to speak of his WWII experiences that dealt with the dark side, or of this own personal dreams of the future, until shortly before his death; at age 58, he no doubt thought he still had plenty of time for both.

It is the irrevocable loss of access to those memories and dreams of his that gave me the greatest sorrow; there is so much of him that I shall never know. :(

[WickedGoddess]

^ My grandfather's still alive and his memory is as clear as spring. He still can tell us stories about the terror he experienced in WWII. I'm very glad that I wasn't born during that time, coz if I was, I won't live the life I have now.

Wal-Mart has everything!
One day, in line at the company cafeteria, Joe says to Mike behind him,
'My elbow hurts like hell. I guess I'd better see a doctor.'
'Listen, you don't have to spend that kind of money,' Mike replies.
'There's a diagnostic computer down at Wal-Mart. Just give it a urine
sample and the computer will tell you what 's wrong and what to do about
it. It takes ten seconds and costs ten dollars . . . A lot cheaper than
a doctor.'

So, Joe deposits a urine sample in a small jar and takes it to Wal-Mart.
He deposits ten dollars, and the computer lights up and asks for the
urine sample. He pours the sample into the slot and waits. Ten seconds
later, the computer ejects a printout:
'You have tennis elbow. Soak your arm in warm water and avoid heavy
activity It will improve in two weeks. Thank you for shopping @
Wal-Mart.'

That evening, while thinking how amazing this new technology was, Joe
began wondering if the computer could be fooled. He mixed some tap
water, a stool sample from his dog, urine samples from his wife and
daughter, and a sperm sample for good measure.

Joe hurries back to Wal-Mart, eager to check the results. He deposits ten dollars, pours in
his concoction, and awaits the results. The computer prints the
following:
1. Your tap water is too hard. Get a water softener. (Aisle 9)
2. Your dog has ringworm. Bathe him with anti-fungal shampoo. (Aisle 7)
3. Your daughter has a cocaine habit. Get her into rehab.
4. Your wife is pregnant. Twins. They aren't yours. Get a lawyer.
5. And if you don't stop playing with yourself, your elbow will never
get better!

Thank you for shopping @ Wal-Mart

1907 - Columbus, May 13. – Dashing through an open switch at Truro station, twelve miles southeast of Columbus today, the West Virginia express on the Ohio Central road was derailed and one man, who was walking along the side of the track, was killed and a number of trainmen were more or less injured. Most of the passengers escaped with a few bruises. Mike Martin, the engineer, who was pinned under his engine, will die as will also Dan Martin, the fireman, and an unknown woman. A special coach holding members of the Red Men going to Marietta was not derailed but a number of the members of the order were slightly injured. The injured are from Columbus. The dead:

JOHN DAVIS, Truro Station, O.

Fatally injured:

Engineer Mike Martin, legs and arms horribly scalded, internal injuries.

Dan Martin, fireman, arm broken and serious internal injuries.

Mrs. Chris Harris, Piqua, O., skull crushed.

Conductor W. A. Miller’s back and feet were scalded. He rushed through escaping steam and pulled the dying engineer from under the engine. The whole train derailed except the Red Men’s car. Two coaches and the baggage car were smashed to pieces

Mail Clerk W. W. Meyer, of Toledo, suffered a broken ankle and Edgar Keyes also of Toledo, a badly wrenched knee.

1921 - I was hoping to do some yard work this week. I'd had "Weed Man" come out last year but didn't really see any value in their services.

They're so convenient! Because I had them spray for weeds last year, I don't even have to call them anymore. They decide what the lawn needs then just show up one day. They don't wait for me to rake or clean up the lawn, don't trouble me with a phone call and don't even knock on the door.

They've really got a good business model. They send out a letter in February recommending a program for you then say they're just going to do it unless you call to tell them not to. Evidently, they seem to think my silence indicates acceptance of the "contract".

They're super efficient too! The "Technician" just parks his truck on the street in front of the house, runs around by yard for 10 minutes, hangs the bill on the door, then leaves.

Then the skies open up with rain and snow all week... just great.

I'm thinking I might just go visit the Weed Man while he's out plying his trade, dump a few tons of chicken manure right in the middle of his lawn, then stake his own bill right to the very top of the pile.

How was your week?

1922.

Dubby, that hat should be mine.

It is a standard hat in rainy western Norway (http://images.google.no/images?hl=no&q=sydvest&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi).

Your best hat so long.

Where is your cat?

Yet one more - "Visual Information Operations" (http://www.fas.org/irp/doddir/army/fm6-02-40.pdf) U.S. Army Field Manual FM 6-02.40, March 2009 (referring to military photography, video recording, and the production and use of other visual media).

And, they're all free!

Where is your cat?


There are 1925 cats in my hat!

I don't like to wear this one very often. It's a little top heavy and tends to mess up most photo opportunities.
