I'm no luddite, but this is disturbing. http://www.ascribe.org/cgi-bin/behold.pl?ascribeid=20050705.142652 Thoughts? Or shall we just fast-forward the discussion to its inevitable Israel/Iran argument? Would it be OK for jews and muslims to eat Lork (lab-grown pork) products?
There would be some negatives like no more cow tipping, pie tossing, or quiet time with my favorite sow Bess. I would also lose my job swinging the hammer at the slaughterhouse. John Henry could only dream of driving a spike home like me. I have to think the plus side carries more weight. All that freed up pasture land would mean more property for strip malls. My cousin Joe would spend more time with his family and less time making late night visits to the chicken house. Best of all, the closer we get to this Star Trek technology the closer I get to my dream of getting it on with a hot Klingon babe.
Not disturbing at all. This is the future of food production, and I (no doubt along with all other vegetarians, people who fear mad-cow disease/e.coli/etc., environmentalists, and those millions of hungry people across the globe) welcome it thankfully. And by the way, this is just one aspect of the new technologies which will also soon revolutionize the medical industry with respect to skin grafts to other organ transplants, and no doubt in many other fascinating ways we can only imagine right now.
Soylent Green (1973) ring any bells there Norsk? No thanks... a pink interior, charred exterior hamburger, straight from Texas born and bred cattle, is on tap for the back barby this weekend and all future weekends! American Beef: It's what's for Dinner!
In other words, things don't taste good to you unless they've been marinated in pain and slaughter first. How typical of you.
It's like the difference between grilling with charcoal or grilling with gas. The pain and slaughter just gives the meat more flavor.
Heavens no Norsk... I use the new Jack Daniels Oak barbecue sauce for meat marination...I'm not a friggin savage for Christ's sake!
Actually a combination of a hormone cocktail and the flailing around in their own p!ss and sh!t for half an hour on a concrete floor is what gives them that scrumptilicious flavor.
For me, it's not really meat without the exquisite craftsmanship of a illegal immigrant/future amputee who may or may not know how to operate the machinery. Still, I don't know what I would do without meat.
I'll be the first on my block to have a lobster tail vine. Mmmmmmmmmmmm.... Next up, clarified butter springs!
Hence... Ring-Neck Pheasant! btw...why do they wear Blaze Orange for Pheasant Hunting? That's weird! In Penn we wear camo! Maybe out west it's different!
Next time, you should dress up like a bird, suspend yourself from a tree and flap your arms really hard.
That's the reverse of my question; what's the point of wearing Blaze Orange for pheasants??? Not wearing camo to hide or anything; just standard hunting wear... the only "requirement" for Blaze clothing is for fall firearm deer season (30% blaze covering) for most eastern states; all other seasons attire is not registered.... Additionally, hunts for pheasants in PA normally are single w/ dog or two hunters abreast; hitting someone would be pretty difficult since birds arise forward and wing far left/right or straight away!
Possible; but loud and expensive! If the intent is to shoot their heads off, much rather use .22... or be like a injun and use a bow & arrow!
Scoff if you want, but such cruelty has convinced me to never eat meat again. I only eat sausage now. The original fake meat.
I know... you suggested I did! Personally, for pheasant, I use an old Lefevre Double barrel 12 gauge, Full choke, with #4 shot, but shooting them with a .22 is entirely possible and done quite a bit around bait pens!
The orange blaze gives less of an excuse for your 'friend' to 'accidently' shoot you when he finds out you 'helped' his wife move some furniture while he was at work. A bow is acceptable, but the shotgun is the preferable birding weapon being that you can still drink and hit stuff.
And I'm sure I could, with suitable patience, find a photo of Nebraska hunters in camoflage blasting a bird!
