Comment Re: You ever eat Shrimp or Lobster? (Score 1) 626

I'll eat just about anything, I just know people who won't eat Venison or elk. I don't know why, but I guess they are people who are unwilling to try something different. My wife was like that, but since she's tried Bison, she has had a change of heart. I think it has to do with the factory farms and all the crap put in the meat. Michael Pollan's books have helped broaden her diet.

If we are overrun by Monk Parrots, eat them. Same goes with feral pigs, Asian Carp and Snakehead fish. Feral Pig is very tasty. Don't eat Florida Pythons, they contain high levels of mercury. Rabbits are a good alternative to beef. They are high in protein, and offer high iron for those who need iron in their diet.

When I was a kid I remember my mom paying per pound before boarding a helicopter. She wasn't obese, so it wasn't a slam at her. Planes and helicopters have a limit to what they can lift. If I owned an airline I'd want two 150lb paying passengers than one 300lb passenger.

Our house was used for dive bombing training. There were no dummy bombs, they were practicing the maneuver. I was just a kid and I loved it. The chickens didn't. I think the planes were the A 24 Dauntless. Dad finally called and complained. Around that time he was doing work on the pilot's harness for the Delta Dart. I remember him mentioning a pilot's body passing through the harness. They had issues with the ejection seat killing pilots.
