You're probably right, farmerman..
Maybe this thread should be moved to food and drink.
I'll talk about food in any thread, 'tis a failing.
Saute some thinly sliced backstraps in butter and a little garlic.
The rest makes decent burger and sausage. As f-man suggests, feed the hairy parts to the hounds.

Of all the yuppie abuses of the English language I ever see, that may be the one that bothers me the most. I most definitely do not go into the forest with a bow and arrows to "harvest" things; I go there to kill things. Yuppies who can't handle that can spend their lives eating green veggies the way American women cooked them when I was a kid as far as I'm concerned.

Harvested as in, "collected road kill." As in, not hunted. As in, picked up.
Damn.
Oh. I always associated harvesting with one of those farms with elk trained to lick salt and eat at a convenient time of day.
Then why bring up the 101?
If that's true, I'll look like an ass. Damn it all to hell.
The 101 comment related to my mentioning Eureka (re a certain restaurant that cooked venison well), just south of Arcata. Lotta deer around Humboldt County and the 101.
Elk around there too, usually a bit north.
Yeah, yeah. It's a roadkill joke, yeah?
That had me confused when my sister in California gave directions in terms of "Take the 10 to the 605 and go to the 405". I just love the verbal shorthand that everyone understands - or should.
I grew up thinking all of the numbers were perfectly natural. Then I found myself trying to drive around New Jersey using a native's directions -- my god, it's a wonder those people get anywhere, with all of their exits and named roads...
Better than sayin' take the Richard Milhaus Nixon Freeway... (Or the Sonny Bono Freeway, which the 10 is named near Palm Springs.)
But, I digress.
Watching last night's episode of Weeds (few things that are watched avidly around here) and a woman talks about having driven from Alaska to Los Angeles (or is it Orange County?) in I-5, but she knew a "shortcut."
Ha!
Ain't no way, Jose! Mebbe by mental telepathy.
thats why Gunga is a Creationist. He cant seem to get nuanced evidence or opinion.
Roadkill reference it was, only the dim missed it.
I'm feeling good because I got it right away. Of course, most did.
IT WASNT A PHUCKIN JOKE!!! IT was an observation and a recollection from the past on 101 . Im not capable of any kind of humor.
