Not according to Eddie Murphy, whom I was quoting.

Check the cite... I distinctly recall him saying "An' your father is a alcohollllllic."

"Norton... Norton... how would you, like to fuck me, up the ass?"

Still the best comedy record ever.

It seems to me that Materazzi only does this shit because no one has beat his ass yet. Why is that? Are there no fights in soccer outside of the fans?

No. Although I don't blame people who do eat humans when they're in life or death situations. But I'm sure this is just curiosity because cannabalism is very different than humans eating animals.

I can understand why people don't eat dogs. I think it's a dumb line to draw, but I understand it. But I think it's funny that we look down on other cultures that do eat dogs. The octopus thing is ridiculous.

I heard something once on NPR about how attitudes in Korea are changing dramatically towards dogs as a source of food. I also highly recommend the last chapter of Temple Gradin's Animals in Translation for a discussion on the human co-evolution with dogs. She makes an interesting argument that we've been living together pretty much since the beginning and therefore have a rather unique relationship.

If you can shoot a horse because it breaks its leg, you should be able to shoot it because you're hungry (or can get some $ for it because someone else is hungry).

Well, then the answer would be to not allow them permits. If you want to maintain the wild mustang population, do so. But it should be the same process as any other hunting license and the goal should be to protect their numbers. If they don't need protecting or if there are too many of them, then by all means, round 'em up and serve 'em up.

I don't disagree with any of that. I think that a lot of this legislation is short sighted, because a slaughterhouse is a hell of a lot more humane way to go than being shot in a field after starving for a couple of years because hay is fucking expensive with this drought we're going through. But, then, I'm a cattle rancher by breeding, and my childhood horse lived to the ripe old age of 23 and died in the pasture he's buried in.

BTW, it appears that this thing comes up every year and gets shot down. There was also an interesting article on the debate in Houston Press earlier this year.

Why? You said Sunny's as dumb as a horse, and you'd eat a horse.

Welcome back. A few more days and I was going to have to comment, the way I am right now about NCS disappearing. WHERE ARE YOU NCS?

Anyways, Tom Cruise wasn't dropped by Paramount. That's bullshit studio spin. This is kind of like what happened with Pixar and Disney. Cruise/Wagner wanted a bigger producing fee and a bigger share of the gross receipts of Cruise-starring movies, since they are basically guaranteed money makers. Paramount balked, and Cruise/Wagner decided they'd go make movies on their own without studio financing. I wouldn't be surprised if Paramount ends up distributing most of them anyways.

Not that anyone really cares. I don't.

Aww, str8, I'm touched. Just when I was ready to retire and everything.

TM, those seersucker jetsetter pants rocked. I didn't love the shirt, but I'd wear those pants too.

Ok, off to continue my Tivoed reality tv catch-up.

No doubt. I love dogs. I think they're the cat's meow. But I have no special connection to dog-kind. They are animals. Animals get eaten.

Hell, stray cats in Singapore are as disgusting as (and viewed about the same as) rats are here. Raise dogs to be food (and this is anecdotal, but I was told by a rancher that cows have all their brains bred right out of their heads), would that make a difference?

Please be gentle, it's my first time. I have a reunion which states "cocktail attire suggested". What exactly would that be? I think I'm more concerned as to what I tell Mrs. Flinty than about my own clothing.

Sounds like it's perfect for slow smoke cooking. But then, you don't like barbecue, right?

I had excellent barbeque this weekend. With fried okra. I do not like okra, but I like fried okra. I also had a very yummy peach cobbler and some coffee ice cream.

Next weekend, I am brunching at Stubbs. That barbeque better kick ass. Although I confess it is the thought of fried green tomatoes that is making me drool.

Aren't people animals? Isn't the point that humans bred dogs to be domesticated and as such have a certain responsibility for them, with which comes a certain respect? (which respect is codified in the US)

Good point, but I'm guessing it's not strictly about smarts. Would Thurgreed eat Flipper? He'd probably say yes, and then he'd have to come up with a REAL good reason why he wouldn't eat Sunny.

You wear a dark suit with an actual tie.

Cocktail attire for a woman would be a little black dress (or equivalent) with the big jewelry.

I will bring you some barbeque from Giddings for comparison's sake. I smuggled some into ACL a few years ago. I was worried that security was going to confiscate it because I wasn't supposed to be bringing food in. Then I was worried that security was going to confiscate it because security was stoned and hungry. Fortunately, they managed to overlook four pounds of meat in my backpack.
