A friend and I once found ourselves following a trailer full of ostriches. The interior was dim, but there were a few shafts of life cutting through it, and after a very short while, we had to pass them because the way their heads were swaying and bouncing was going to cause us both to pass out.

I've been at a wildlife compound in Sydney, with a half-dozen in their pen, just *that* side of the walkway.

Believe me, that double barrier is there for a reason. They stalk you, and even out of reach, take swipes at you with that terrible back claw.

I shit you not, I had a college buddy who, at a wedding reception held at a farm that had ostriches, climbed on the back of one on a drunk dare and got the ever-loving sh*t beat out of him.

He ended up running away from the bird and jumping into a to a swimming pool to escape.

40 For a while people in East Texas were raising ostriches because there was supposed to be a market for the Ostrich meat. Well that market never developed, and some ranchers were paying to deep freeze their meat at a large facility that had once been a Schlitz plant in Longview. Ended being 40,000 or 50,000 lbs of frozen ostrich meat there in storage.

Well one summer day all the animals industrial cooling systems failed and the transformers blew out and the whole thing thawed. Imagine the stench of 50,000 lbs of poultry all going bad at the same time…

And Hubbymayhem has gone to a nearby walk in med clinic to get his leg checked out. Haven't heard anything from him since he left a little over an hour ago. Hopefully it isn't a DVT/blood clot. Also hoping they can do something for pain. He is very uncomfortable.

There has been a trend the last several years among paleontologists to refer to tyrannosaurs, triceratops, and such as "non-avian dinosaurs" recognizing that cassowaries, ostriches, and such are dinosaurs. It also explains why God would create dinosaurs if they were just fated to all die 65 million years ago. He did it so we could have turkey for Thanksgiving.

Welp, The Raiders just had a hold my beer moment against KC. It is highly amusing. Having the center unexpectedly snap the ball when the QB is not looking is no way to go through life. Having the snap head off towards the running back is just piling on. Having KC recover the fumble is cruel and unusual punishment.

The Cassowary Calvinist Church has a unique theology that incorporates ostrich-handling as a way of demonstrating one's holiness and membership in The Elect.

Perhaps the most striking visual element are the incorporation of ostrich feathers in the ministerial vestments.

How can you be a writer and not understand the criminal mind?

The criminal sees an opportunity and acts. When things go his way he keeps the con going. When it looks like things are going south, he bails. It's pretty simple.

He doesn't give fuck about collateral damage other-wise he wouldn't have done what he did because he has a criminal mind. Born criminals don't care about anyone but themselves.

Although he may pander for those who don't get it, he doesn't care at all.

Thank you. He's back now. They couldn't say if its a clot without an ultrasound. And the local hospital has no ultrasound techs on weekends. So he's probably going to be off work for a few days until they can get him in. He's an OTR truck driver and they are at higher risk for clots.

188 Yes, thank you for asking. I am actually wondering if it’s his food - even though I feed him premium stuff, I think this economy has affected the quality of the chicken. I have been saying I need to make my own. I think it would be best for him if I do. He will eat people chicken breast, but Sabi won’t. I will need to figure out how to get Sabi to actually eat homemade food, too. Neither eat fish. They are really picky, which makes this whole thing hard.

I have an old hand cranked grinder that I use to chop up chicken and pork for the cats, when I can find the meat on sale cheaper than the normal wet cat food. I raw pack it into half pints to can for them so it is cooked and I don't have to worry so much about it being too cold to eat from the fridge or spoiling.

If you have less problem with portions, I bet you could get away with cooking it in the crock pot instead. My cats can be picky about texture, so I use the grinder before cooking it.

If it is a concern for you, try transferring Sabi on baby food, I have used the strained turkey for ailing cats.

One of the more interesting shows was when Neil Young showed up for a solo set supported by a semi-truck's worth of effects. It was complete WTF but his audience loved it though I suspect they had to turn down their hearing aids. The hardest part of that show was matching up everyone with their walker afterwards.

This is the Yard Sign Calvinist mentality in its most pure form. The writer is part of the Elect, those who have been given the gift of grace, but the Deplorables reject salvation. They are stubborn in their total depravity.

Therefore, they deserve damnation.

The assumption in the economy crashing is that the Elect will be insulated from it, perhaps with health care or civil service jobs. But the Deplorables have no saving grace, and will feel the full brunt of their folly, which they so justly deserve.

You know, chicken breast is sort of a loss leader locally, and picnic shoulder pork are cheap too, so I just cut the meat up and grind it, and I roast and cook the bones for stock. If you want to get chicken hind quarters and stew them so they fall off the bones, you can do that. The bones will go really soft if you cook them at 15 lbs pressure with water to cover and a teaspoon of vinegar, but I never grind the bones for the cats.

You could add the stock to the food for the extra collagen and stuff instead of eating it.
