I'll leave you alone about the bugs and other slimy shyte! ;-D ;DD

I live in the Poconos of Pennsylvania. Deer bring no thoughts of compassion, just visions of car repair bills. We don’t say “have you ever hit a deer,” but rather "how many deer have you hit.” Counted 4 lying on the side of the road into work this morning. Late evenings and night time now have become a game of run and swerve with them.

We hosted a German exchange student this year. One morning on the drive to school we had a herd of deer running alongside the car and after a little had to slam on the breaks when they decided to cross the road right in front of us. We slightly clipped one in the rump but it kept on running after a little tumble. The exchange student said she couldn’t wait to skype home later to tell them we hit a deer. And later on the trip to school there was a flock of about 20 turkeys in a field next to us, with some males displaying for the females. She had never seen a turkey in real life or ever eaten it. I said we’re going out for dinner tonight and it looks like turkey is on the menu. She later said it tasted like chicken.

You should have just driven out in the field and taken out a few and then had those for dinner. Think of the Skype home she could have had then........

Though about it, and I did have my SUV. But then we would have been late for school and my kid would have had a conniption 'cause she had a test first class. :)

You could have brought a few in for the lunch lady to dress up. After hearing about your school lunches last week you would have been a shoe in for best DAD in this year's yearbook.

I’ve had a number of odd and exotic dishes in my travels, including meats such as bear, alligator, crickets, antelope, buffalo, slugs, wild boar, deer, rattle snake, octopus, live oysters and many kinds of fish. But the two foods that I really didn’t enjoy were Vegemite and Poi.

DiO reminds me. I've had what he's had, if by "slugs" he means escargot, but not wild boar that I can remember. And I'm thinking I must've had snake at some point, but I can't place it, so no credit there.

Never tried vegemite. There was stuff written about it when Men At War Men Of Peace Men At Work sang their song in the '80s, and when I saw one reviewer write that vegemite tasted like "rancid prune whip," I decided not to go seek it out.

A lot of Americans in Korea didn't like kimchi. I did. But not enough to get addicted to it, like some of the Koreans are. They also served up porridge as a breakfast option. I tried it in several different flavors, and they were all horrible. Goldilocks was nuts. It's not good at any temperature.

I was once charged by a Buffalo and sent flying about 10 feet. Eating them is considered payback in my books. :)

Y'know, if you go to shake hands with a homicidal maniac, you can expect bad things to happen. Bison are homicidal maniacs, except they have sharp hooves, sharp horns, weigh a ton, can run faster than us, and turn on a dime. I love bison (both to watch and to eat). But there's no way I'd be in range for one to charge me. I saw a motorcyclist once just barely escape an irate bison, and that made me determined not to ride motorcycles through buffalo country either.

Do you happen to look like Tarzan? Or smell like him?
