Try sex with goats . . .

Local comedian said you'd get a replay asking whether or not you wanted the goats burning . . .

When it comes to goat, I'm partial to garlic, rosemary, and dill. Flame broiled is good for some cuts, but there's nothin' like spit-roastin' a whole yearlin' over well-cured fruitwood.

When i worked at the Touch of Nature Environmental Center (honest to god . . . they claimed it came for a Shakespearean quote), an Indian gentleman in the Office of the Vice President for academic affairs (obviously, a muslim) came to the facility, and they threw a big party at which he cooked 12 lambs on the spit. He rubbed the throughly with a spice "mash" (not unlike a loose curry) before setting the spits over the fires, then he cut slits in the meat and inserted garlic cloves. He carved all of the beasts (he was positively in heaven), and as he cut filets form the carcasses, he would cut new slits, and insert more garlic cloves . . .


I ate myself sick . . .

I thought there was enough gloating around the political threads but never enough goating.

roasting a goat in a pit of river stones and charcoal buried in boughs of pinon branches, too much beer, too much sour mash, too many guests, I watched the southwest corner of the garage go up in smoke and ashes. my wife, at the time, was disappointed.

Now, reviewing this discussion's past couple dozen or so posts, one could develop a personal recipe for cooking trolls.

I was thinking more along the lines of basting liberally with indifference, while taking care to avoid entangling oneself in the spit mechanism.

Yeah, and just carve off the chunks you fancy as they come around ... there's plenty for everybody, and it is help-yourself, ya know. If ya see somethin' ya know ya dont like, don't put it on yer plate. This is a buffet ... you pick your own entrees, side dishes, accompanyments, condiments and deserts. If ya bite into something that disagrees with ya, quit chewin' on it. There's plenty enough to go around. Enjoy.

Seems you're getting a lot of stuff off your chest in the form of obfuscation about recipies.

BTW--what is a troll exactly----since there is no definition section that I can find. The word keeps popping up and I've been called one. How did the word originate and what is it? If we don't know what it is ----how can one avoid being one------because obviously it's BAAAAAD.

The people who use it seem to be those who are on the verge of using foul language and/or Ad Homs and use "troll" in lieu of an intelligent answer.

THE JARGON DICTIONARY

troll
troll v.,n. 1. [From the Usenet group alt.folklore.urban] To utter a posting on Usenet designed to attract predictable responses or flames; or, the post itself. Derives from the phrase "trolling for newbies" which in turn comes from mainstream "trolling", a style of fishing in which one trails bait through a likely spot hoping for a bite. The well-constructed troll is a post that induces lots of newbies and flamers to make themselves look even more clueless than they already do, while subtly conveying to the more savvy and experienced that it is in fact a deliberate troll. If you don't fall for the joke, you get to be in on it. See also YHBT. 2. An individual who chronically trolls in sense 1; regularly posts specious arguments, flames or personal attacks to a newsgroup, discussion list, or in email for no other purpose than to annoy someone or disrupt a discussion. Trolls are recognizable by the fact that the have no real interest in learning about the topic at hand - they simply want to utter flame bait. Like the ugly creatures they are named after, they exhibit no redeeming characteristics, and as such, they are recognized as a lower form of life on the net, as in, "Oh, ignore him, he's just a troll." 3. [Berkeley] Computer lab monitor. A popular campus job for CS students. Duties include helping newbies and ensuring that lab policies are followed. Probably so-called because it involves lurking in dark cavelike corners.
Some people claim that the troll (sense 1) is properly a narrower category than flame bait, that a troll is categorized by containing some assertion that is wrong but not overtly controversial. See also Troll-O-Meter.

The use of `troll' in either sense is a live metaphor that readily produces elaborations and combining forms. For example, one not infrequently sees the warning "Do not feed the troll" as part of a followup to troll postings.

Eh ... but calling someone a troll would be trolling itself, then, no?

Both in meaning 1 (those in the know of what a "troll" is get to be in on the joke) and in meaning 2 (if the person called "troll" knows what a troll is, you can be sure calling him a troll will provoke more counter-insults, and prolong the flame-war).

I say, if you want to ignore someone (and its a good thing to do sometimes ... though hard) - ignore him. Dont post "troll" or "scroll" - just ignore, end of story. If you wanna warn others not to react to a flame either, send a PM or something.

That about right?

It is, of course, a well-known fact that trolls are immune to the cold (-shoulder), but susceptible to fire and acid. Constant hacking or slashing attacks are of little value, since the troll is self-regenerating. The two most effective tactics are a fire/acid attack, or inducing starvation . . .

Do not feed the troll . . . keep your hands and arms inside the windows . . .
