6 years, no dead people. Hardly any road kill either actually.

Wow, what a coincidence. Just two minutes ago I was just talking about some of the nasty, spiteful cynics on ESLcafe with my co-worker and you're name popped up.

I'm not usually one to flame other posters here but I really feel compelled to tell you that you're a complete and utter wanker, and your petty little posts are about as funny as skin cancer.

I saw a funny sight on the road today. While waiting at the intersection for the light to change, a car drove through with a pylon grinding away lodged neatly underneath.

Too bad about the cat.

That is one cool cat, that Salg. Well, the LIVE ones, anyway. Never knew such a creature lived here.

How to Eat Roadkill
By eHow Food & Drink Editor


Eating roadkill can provide you with a free source of meat that hasn't been factory farmed. It's free from the antibiotics pumped into most supermarket meat. Before you pick up any dead animal, there are a few things to consider.


Step1 Find roadkill. You may spot roadkill from your car. Many animals who are hit by cars survive long enough to make it off the road. You can find more roadkill by walking or cycling along the road.
Step2 Know how to tell which meat is edible. A good way to know if roadkill is fresh is to look for roadkill on the roads you normally drive. If the roadkill wasn't there the day before, it's fresh. Don't eat roadkill that smells rotten, has maggots or fly eggs, looks sick or has ruptured organs. Roadkill with rigor mortis should still be good for a day during warm weather and three to four days in cold weather.
Step3 Clean and butcher the meat. Most butcher shops specialize in meats like beef or venison, so you should be able to do this yourself. You can toss the carcass in the fridge or freezer to use at a later date. As you clean the carcass, look for bones that may be embedded in the tissue.
Step4 Cook and eat your meal. "The Original Roadkill Cookbook" by Buck Peterson is available online at Amazon. It offers recipes and tips on how to eat roadkill. Be sure to cook your meat at a high degree to allow the meat's internal temperature to reach the point where dangerous organisms are killed.


well I was going to let this pass but then I read the words under your avatar and couldn't help but think of Easy Rider and anyone who's a fan of that film surely must have tried road kill before, or at least thought about it.

so??? have you?? and what was it??

inquiring minds want to know!

I was looking through a book on the DMZ today and they showed photos of Salg's alive and well in the DMZ. Hopefully, they are still there (it's a distinct possibly they could have been caught and eaten if they strayed too far north - during periods of famine you've gotta eat something) and when/if the Koreas ever unite they keep that area as a 4 x 200-odd km nature reserve.

I've heard that the people of NZ suffer from being the most politically correct people in the world. I haven't noticed Goldmember's posts to be petty, cynical, and lacking in humour. Then I'm not from NZ. But if I had a choice between communicating with Goldmember or communicating with a farking nearly extinct Korean wildcat I'd vote for Goldmember. Because he's a human being.

Koreans don't idealize wild animals as proud, strong, and free. With a sort of mystical non-human knowledge that is timeless and enviable. Canadians do. There'd be artists painting wildcats in their natural habitat and Canadians do have such paintings in their living rooms. You don't see that in Korea. Except for the tiger paintings. But then the map of Korea is 'shaped like a tiger' so maybe that explains it.

I don't want to communicate with the cat, but I do think it's sad that they are endangered and that another one bit the dust. Look at the pictures! They are really cute!

Any mine fields there? Guantanamo Bay has them, it's called the Cactus Curtain with Cuban mines from the 60's that have never been maintained. The US side has jarheads stationed on base specifically to perform minefield maintenance--remember A Few Good Men? If there are mines in the DMZ, does the Army take care of it?

Every now and then where I lived in Gtmo ('88-'91) you'd hear a deer pop one off.

And since this is the Roadkill thread... the first time I saw a Cuban Banana Rat was a roadkill. At first I thought I was seeing a groundhog, that's how big they are. Then I saw the long ratlike tail and knew I wasn't in Kansas anymore.

Go through his past posts. You'll soon see he's a knob head.
