It is about the right color. Insert something witty about roundhouse kicks.

Offtopic, we're having shishkebabs for dinner on the pit. I don't care if I mispelled that.

It's meat on a stick over a fire and that's awesome.

You don't need proper spelling when you have fire roasted stick meat.

I grilled a 23 pound turkey today.

23.

One half the breast covered a whole plate. 4 inches deep at the center. And hung off the side.

It took six hours and two batches of coals.

And it tastes like a savory hunk of awesome.

and the sticks were metal,. so I pretended they were little swords.
I am now going to make shishkebabs using swords.

I will need a sword, fire, and larger portions of meat.

I went to a renaissance festival a few years back and they had huge turkey legs that were like 5 lbs a piece. I have no idea how they got them that big.... but anyway, they were made over a fire and were pure awesome.

I'd put a feral cat up against a rat catching dog any day.

Of course, we are talking about pets, here. Feral cats can be cute and all, but they aren't pets. Pick one up and it will claw your face off, and I'll stand there laughing at you for it.

I wish I would have had a camera today.

I went to a large family gathering/reunion, complete with band and bbq. My great uncle's band normally plays, and they do honky-tonk country and the like. But at one point during the set, they stopped and let my uncle (who was drummer for a local southern rock band back in the 70's) get on drums, and he played the Ventures classic "Wipeout" with the lead player, and then the whole band joined in and did Lynerd Skynerd's "Sweet Home Alabama" (my great uncle didn't sing, somebody else did).

If you all could have seen the looks on the older folk's faces, you would have DIED laughing. I swear, there was one older gentleman on oxygen sitting there with this look on his face going "WHAT IS THIS SHIT?!" It was the funniest thing I've seen all week.

Can't say that I have. But I do know a guy who runs a dairy farm and has 2 dozen (that he knows of) feral cats on the property... not a mouse in sight.

I've got a question for everybody; is Adam Richman out of his FUCKING MIND? Read that description; a burger containing jalapenos, serrano, habanero and naga bhut jolokia chile peppers.

Since when did eating nuclear waste and burning away the lining of your entire digestive tract become considered a noteworthy talent?

Ok, the idea of having a dark army of the night appeals to me as much as it does anyone else here but that still seems scary. Like one night he's in the barn and a thing of milk gets spilled on him. And then from all around we here "ftttt" and "arrrorrr" as dozens of little faces poke out of everywhere. Cut to exterior shot of the barn to the sounds of mauling.

I once had a dog on our farm that chase after everything. the only wild animals left at our farm with him around was rabbits who stuck close to the trees and mice who stuck close to or in the barns. He got everything else, kind off forced all the cats that game to our place up into a old hay barn, but we always feed them, except for a view cats that came by he didn't chase them because they didn't run from him.

;;;
If he had a dog like an American Rat Terrier, he'd only need 1. Seeing is that's what used to be on most farms was 1 or 2 dogs !
Seems like he's got 22 + cats puking furballs & shitting in his garden , more than he actually needs ;)

My cat is a pet, and will kill anything furry she can get her claws on.

My cat is also the fucking devil I'm quite sure...it's her birthday on friday now that I think of it.

So, went to the doctor today fully expecting to get diagnosed with the flu or something cause I've felt generally bad and haven't been able to eat right in a couple weeks. Find out I've dropped twenty pounds in a year (from 180 to 160) so now I have to get up tomorrow for labs and shit, with potentially more to come. Grrr.

You´d think this is somewhat ironic. And a bit sad.

Cosplaying catgirls alert: avies house is off-limits.

Do. Not. For. The. Love. Of. God. Forget to bring her a present. You WILL live to regret it if you don´t.

Hunh. Something similar is happening to me - I´ve lost a few kilos since last christmas, my appetite isn´t what it used to be, and I´m dangerously close to being underweight. And my jawbones are starting to show. Pants that I used to find tight and uncomfortable suddenly seem to slip off of me.

Hmpf.

Also: another thing to be said about cats, especially feral ones:

There comes a time when feral cats stop being pest control and becomes a pest in themselves. Fur farmers keep quite a few feral cats, depending on the farm size, to keep the rodent population down and keep other pests at bay. However. Eventually these feral cats overpopulate the area to the point where the local small animals no longer can support the feral cat population, and several cats get malnourished and weak, and contract as well as spread diseases - the very thing the cats were supposed to combat in the first place.

On a sidenote: I´ve even come across a fur farm overpopulated by - guess what - rabbits. Tame pet bunnies who had escaped formed a collective harem in the sandy soils under a fur farm, and the rest is history.

As for rat-killing dogs, I can only say that I have never heard of such a thing. But I find it perfectly plausible nonetheless (hungry hunting dog, anyone?).

That pumpkin is kickass btw.

It looks like one of those cookie-cutter sharks that bite chunks of flesh out of whales, and surprisingly, rubber from the black rubber coating of atomic submarines.

Kebab is actually a generic word for meat. Shish roughly translates to stick, or spit, if I´m not mistaken, so a shish kebab IS, quite literally "Meat-on-a-stick".

Most of the small terrier breeds were originally bred as vermin eradicators. They don't have to be hungry, they just love to find and kill rodents. Huskies love to pull, collies love to herd, and a border terrier will hunt rats until he is head-to-toe dirt and blood.

It's a large dairy farm, not a little mom and pop operation. LOTS of area to cover. Thus, 2 dozen cats.

Although I am not in the slightest bit unamused at the idea of a small dog running itself ragged trying to do the job of 2 dozen feral cats. Just the thought of the little dog freebasing at a stove in an attempt to get the day started is enough to make me chuckle a bit.

(just a joke, folks, please don't get mad)

That's when you whip your homeade flame-throw... uhm... ".22 caliber rifle"... and put the little varmint out of it's misery. Yeah. Nobody wants to see a real life version of zippo cat running around in pain before it dies... just shoot the little bastard and put it out of it's misery. Yeah.

What are you people looking at? I like cats, but I wouldn't be above putting one out of it's misery if the situation called for it. Get off me.

Pro. I just have one thing to say. If you get anywhere near my fish your first shot better kill me.

So long as it ain't foaming at the mouth, I think we'll be all right.

You folks are just too easy to mess with. Really, too easy.

My cat tries to get into the shower with me every morning.

I tried proteas, did it work?

my university student handbook has their pet policy pretty clear: only non-aggressive fish, because nobody wants to deal with telling their roommate that your beta escaped, shit in his bed and ate his pet cat while he was in class.

A cat that is willing to go into water to be with it's master...?

What kind of psycho cat do you have, seven? Are you sure it's not like a long haired chihuahua or something?

My sister has a cat who loves to swim and enjoys baths, but he's a purebred Turkish Van, and the breed has a reputation for that.

Oh, that? No big deal. I've seen that before. It's the idea that house cats who might be hiding a blood thirsty addiction to mayhem beneath a veneer of placidity would ACTUALLY be willing to get into water to be near humans... scares the living shit out of me.

Screw your holy shotgun, I can get incindiary rounds easily. Among other things.

You realize that the wild species that the domestic housecat is descended from is commonly seen wading into streams throughout Europe and northern Africa after fish, right?

We've taught them to be prissy.
