Yeah that right there is going to be freeholds favorite post for tonight^^^
Oh! So you're not concerned over the legality of eating a (presumes) human like me or Vidmaster7, but once we talk about eating a kitty suddenly it's "Oh noes! That's dislegal!!"!Fine. I didn't want to be the one to say it. But we should definitely eat Mort. After all, she's a cat. It's only right that we eat cat.Freehold would be over the moon with this suggestion. And the little other thing too...
*Gets dressed*
you have to at least give the fact that she knows american laws one eating cats better then we do as american citizens
I can see how one would get the term chicken fried steak mistaken for it being chicken. I always thought it was a dumb name and Frankly would rather just have regular steak as opposed to the chicken fried variety.
I can make them fresh useing cube steak and make them in a way that I like them otherwise I'm kind of meh about em.
It's still fried and I rather not get fried steaks. Grilled please.Fine. We'll grill some steaks from him. Make KC style BBQ from his ribs. You can use some meat, maybe from the arm?, to make your weird Chinese food stuff. We can make hams from his thighs. His calves can be made into fried nuggets. We can make bacon from his belly. We'll turn his back into loin roasts. His head can be used to make head cheese. And the various leftover bits can be made into sausages.
That okay with everyone?
Still not as good as the marinating then burying you in banana leafs idea.
I did refuse to feed her to the red viking guy.

So first day at the breeders.
Meet at 8, grooming, watering, feeding and caring for the horses, and now its 11.30 and all we need to is clean the stable and we're done for today...
So 3-4 hours work (down from roughly 6) a day for a roughly -15% pay cut?! You know that's really not that bad of a deal...

It's lullish...though I'm also only looking after around 2/3 (11 "adults" and 3 foals) as many horses as at my last place of employment, so I actually doubt that the days are going to get a lot more hectic.
The other groomers? The dregs and refuse of society. (former) Alcoholics, people diagnosed with various mental problems, people with disabilities and the like (me included)...
Its all those who doesn't or can't fit in the regular job market...
But what do I care about social acceptability and 'fitting in' with the norm? They seem like decent (but weird) people, so we'll in all probability get along fine.
Edit: I might sound harsh or weird above, but its because its really stark at times...the amount of 'atypical' people in my vocation is huge. A groomer in a stable seems to either be a boy/girl in the 12-16 year range or a 20+ year old male/female (slightly more males in my anecdotal experience) from one of the groups above…
I actually understand a bit of why, since working with animals is therapeutic. Its a job that's mostly free of stress factors such as deadlines, fast pacing or constant having to be 'on'...
It really is, for the lack of a better term, a 'peaceful' job.

Good luck on the new job, Kjeldorn. I hope it goes well for you.
45 minutes to go.
Hard pass on that.
Twenty minutes until I start!

OK. Balut report: Just like any hard boiled egg yolk except it was a little fishy since it was from a duck egg. The embryo was a little fishier then then the rest of the egg, but the small feathers surprisingly were not like fibrous and was actually edible. There was no white and the juices in the egg were saltier then your standard egg and a bit fishy.
If I wasn't trying for taste, I would have added a bit of soya sauce since I prefer my food saltier.

Hmm yeah that in no way swayed me away from my firm hard pass stance.

Hey...What's the limit on hunting Vidmasters? 7.It was 6 at one point but now there is just the one.
So you finally end your ruse eh?
You admit to the murders eh?| 2 people marked this as a favorite. |
How's about we don't talk about cannibalism.

Kjeldorn used harden
*Kjeldorn's something-something rose!*
My issue with catch and release is you're being cruel to the fish. Imagine if I stuck a hook in your mouth. Then let you go so I could do it again. How would you feel about it?
At least my fishing has a purpose. I'm hungry!
Being from an outdoor-sy type family, I've been fishing since about as far back as I can remember. Still do occasionally, mostly with my brother, though due to a certain matter with a expired license, its mostly on the sly ^^'
We do file the barbs of the hooks with a metal file though, to make the catch and release easier. Sure it also makes us lose more fish to 'jumping the hook', but I kind feel that's a lose I can live with. It also has the added benefit of being a bit 'gentler' on the fish (not that I lose any sleep over hooking them in the first place…).
Not everybody likes fish. Again, it's recreation, not sustenance.
*Thumbs up to Gran*
…
And no, Cover Turtle has not been doing anything to anyone, whereas YOU decided to talk about thinking of hunting and cooking another FAWTLer. What goes around comes around =)

WTAF?
I was not expecting to wake up to cannibal barbecue this morning.
Kjel, I think I get it; I have a cousin who works with rescued horses and rescue dogs, and she also works with veterans with PTSD. Or, rather, she helps the vets to work with the horses. The right horse can do more good than a therapist, especially for folks who don't want to talk much about their experiences.
Decent is good. Was worried they'd be nasty to you because you're the new guy.
The horses OK? As in not kickey or bite?
Oh and good luck with your new job too =)
Nah, they were nice enough. I'll mostly be working with a young man in his early twenties - suffering from anxiety and depression - who I'm suppose to show the rope's (he's got minimal experience in horse caring field) and partially train. Besides him I'm working with a veteran in field in his late 40's/early 50's - former alcoholic, and it shows! - who in turn is suppose to 'manage, plan and implement' our work routines, train the racing horses (Yup the breeder got a couple of those too) and try and teach me something from his greater experience.
The horses are…
Not quite as well-behaved as I'm use to, still within tolerable limits though. Not really bitey or kickey (though I've got my eyes on a mare...she seems capricious to put it mildly, though it might be because I'm new, and she's not really use to me touching her...) just a little too ill behaved and in need of a bit more handling. Oh and to get rid of a certain bad habit they have learnt them, though that might be too late. Seriously bringing the feed bucket out to the pen, cause the horse don't want to come to gate only teaches them one thing…that they can get feed if they act up and stay in the pen!
How hard is it for people to understand that I work the f!+&ing night shift and my sleep schedule is screwed up, so text me instead of calling me because if you call me you might wake me up? And to add insult to injury, the dogs will wake me up at any time for various reasons (mailman, kid knocking on the door, a leaf blowing around three blocks away, ect, ect, ect), plus my Mom can't drive right now, so I have to drive her everywhere, making it that much harder for me to get some sleep. Plus it is bright, it is noisy, and people are awake and busy.
How bad is the heat by you? Are you surviving?
Careful, Freehold might start tossing money at you....
*Does nekkid dance in front of NH to congratulate him*
...
I wouldn't toss money...
Finally made it to Oregon.
I left my house at 11:30 this morning. To pick up Hermione from her godmother's, then drive up to my mom's house, should have taken 7 hours at the most on a Sunday. Instead, between the slow traffic due to wildfires, and the slow traffic due to construction, and the slow traffic due to bad freeway accidents, it took 9 and a half hours.
But it's so good to see Teensy Valeros after a whole week apart.
I am sure he missed you.
Ok change of plans. You knock Gran out, I’ll gut him and chop him into smaller pieces, then marinate him with char siew mix, and stuff him into a fridge.
Then we’ll both go dig the pit, get the stones the ti and banana leaves. Tomorrow we’ll take the Gran parts out of the fridge, and heat the rocks, then line it with vegetation, put the parts on, then wrap it up with more banana and ti leaves. Then after 3 and a half hours, we’ll dig out the pit and the Gran part’s, take then out and serve it to Sharoth on a wooden tray lined with banana leaves.
Now that’s standards, no?
...why was so much thought put into this...?
Fine. I didn't want to be the one to say it. But we should definitely eat Mort. After all, she's a cat. It's only right that we eat cat.Freehold would be over the moon with this suggestion. And the little other thing too...

We'll turn his back into loin roasts. His head can be used to make head cheese. And the various leftover bits can be made into sausages.
That okay with everyone?
okay, I am REALLY suspicious about the level of thought put into this...
