Low quality......

[Pedata]

.......trolls.

Does anyone remember our old troll? He (she) used to post a paragraph or two that refered to us as a bunch of curry-munching hippies.
He only posted now and then, and it was always short.

I miss our old troll. He never got on a bandwagon or ccp'd large boring text from sites found through searches.

He didn't take himself so freaking serious.

I don't know about these new low quality trolls.
It's disappointing to see new posts and then find out they're just a lot of boring blah blah blah. Not even worth reading.

I think the last post our old troll made was one about being stuck in South America (I think) and working at a rubber plantation.

I wish he'd come back....

I wondered that too, curry isnt usually at stereotype of being a hippy. I do like curry though. Garlic too. And many more herbs, lol.

Pedata, will it help if I call you a curry munching hippy?? Just kiddin!

Who is the new troll anyway? the kangaroo recipe guy?

[UnderTheRainbow]

Haha, I don't see why so many people hate trolls, or get mad about it. I love them. They make message boards more fun, give 'em more character, and that's never a bad thing... unless it *is* the ones that get angry and stuff, because nobody likes anger.
I agree. We need a fun troll around here.

[LIBRA]

You missed the troll invasion. Those guys were trolls of the year. They had hundreds of names and posted like every second, hundreds of posts, probably thousands. Stupid posts, rude, crude, ya know all that stuff.
I found there forum and read theres posts about it and they made up shirts. I think I may have the picture still. Poor bored office nerds.
Nope I dont have the pic, deleted it.

Anyway, that meat eating wierdo, is just wierd. I missed all his posts before I replied to this one, I know who ya mean now pedata!!!

So we all are curry eating vegatarians, nice to know.

I was a kid then but I remember that anything from India was very cool. Curry, gurus, tunic tops, beads.

Thank you, I hate when that happens.

[RAINFOREST MOONCLOUD]

I wouldn't bother too much with koala meat, though - if you pick one of the vicious little buggers up they'll poop this vile green liquid all over you and you'll smell like a eucalyptus oil factory for about a week. They probably taste just as bad. Mind you, it does wonders for your sinuses. (Sini?)

Witchetty grubs are a bit on the weird (note spelling) side - if you eat them live (as one is supposed to) you can feel them wriggling about as you swallow them. They taste like raw eggs.

Another dubious culinary delight is the Bogong moth. Every few years there's a huge population explosion and they get everywhere. They are cooked on a flat metal plate until soft, scooped up and eaten as is. Imagine eating belly-button fluff soaked in old chip fat. With little legs. Not on my Highly Recommended List, I can tell you.

Of course, you can always try crocodile balls - tastes like dry, salty chicken. I resisted the (very slight) temptation to ask if there is any other part of the crocodile you can eat (fnaar! fnaar!) but if you ever get to Arnhem Land there are plenty of places you can buy croc.

More as I think of them.

[LIBRA]

Well I live in pennsylvania, so all of those may be tasty treats, thet are not sold at any local markets. We are fresh out of croc balls too, but they maybe easier to find then kangaroo, or bogong moth.

They do have cow tongue, pickeled pig skin which looks like the most disgusting thing on earth, and brains, and other various organs. But I have never tried them, I bet they would taste great curried??

[RAINFOREST MOONCLOUD]

I can't help you with the 'curried' bit - I don't like curry. As for ox tongue ... well, that is something that has always amazed me. Imagine the scene, all those many moons ago, when some bucolic type is leading the herd back for milking, straw of hay in his snaggle-toothed gob, and he looks inside a cow's mouth and he thinks - "That looks right good, that does. I'm going to eat that, me."

A cow's tongue. This is what garden slugs would look like if all the ugly ones had got together a few generations back and started a breeding programme to eliminate all the lookers from the gene pool. If you tried to feed ox-tongues to starving carrion vultures, David Attenborough would come round your place and kick your dog. Yet we not only eat them, we think of them as something of a delicacy. Now that's weird. (Get that, Ms Libra? Weird. W-e-i-r-d. 'Nuff said.)

Locusts. They're pretty good, especially crispy fried. You can get them tinned in London, but I think that's cheating. You can get the best ones in Thailand, where a brown bag full of deep fried garden locusts will cost you the equivalent of about 3p (US$14.36).

uh ohhhh, there back. A few have always been here, and post.

But hopefully the rest stay where they came from.

[Pedata]

No kangaroos here either, but there are possums- which are also marsupials. I've heard that no matter how you cook possum, it is the greasiest, mustiest tasting, stringiest meat on earth :( . I think they're for when all the other food has run out.

I'll just stick to cows, birds, pigs, beefaloes, and fish.

~Cass

[RAINFOREST MOONCLOUD]

In fact a famous recipe for possum says that you put a possum and a steel axe head in a large iron pot, fill with water and bring to the boil.

Keep boiling until the axe head starts to go soft. The possum is now ready to eat.

I've never tried eating one (closest I got was a guinea pig, and that was pretty rank, too) but I was offered a roasted rat on a stick in Manila. I have eaten many, many weird (there's that word again) and wonderful things in my time (remind me to tell you about the sugarpot ants) but I drew the line at roast rat.

On to other pastures...kangaroo meat? Please.
:kngt:

[RAINFOREST MOONCLOUD]

On to other pastures...kangaroo meat? Please.
:kngt:

Don't knock it until you've tried it, OrganicCutlet. It is very dark meat with little fat and a very strong taste.

I have no idea about the local fauna in your neck of the woods but if you can get hold of some roo then by all means do so. They sell it frozen here in London and there are a few restaurants which sell it (and one in Earls Court which sells candied scorpions, also vair naice) so unless you live in some rustic backwater somewhere you should have no trouble getting hold of some jumpsteak.

I don't recommend goanna, incidentally. Tastes like Play-Do boiled in mentholated muscle liniment.

C-Span Radio to broadcast NORML 2006 panel, May 7 @ 10 AM

May 4, 2006

Dear NORML Supporters:

C-Span Radio, the country's leading public affairs radio channel, will broadcast the conference theme panel for NORML 2006 -- Marijuana Law Reform: From Grassroots to Grasstops on Sunday, May 7 @ 10 AM (eastern).

The panel consisted of: Dominic Holden (Member, NORML Board of Directors), Martin Martinez (patient-advocate in WA), Vivian McPeak (WA NORML/Seattle Hempfest), Sunil Aggarawal (Doctoral candidate in medicine U of WA), Allison Holcomb Esq. (WA criminal defense lawyer), Roger Goodman Esq. (King County Bar Association), Nick Lacata (President, Seattle City Counsel) and Allen Hopper Esq. (ACLU Drug Litigation Project).

C-SPAN Radio is also available on XM Satellite Radio and Sirius Satellite Radio.

This was a terrific panel that educates the public about how grassroots activists who favor marijuana law reform (aka 'stakeholders') need to work closely with established political parties and policy makers so that all involved in the political process are invested in a popular and mutually beneficial outcome.

Other great and informative speeches, lectures and panel discussions, including Keynote speaker Tommy Chong's humorous remarks, from NORML's 35th annual conference held in San Francisco April 20-22 can be heard at: http://www.norml.org/index.cfm?Group_ID=6881

If you didn't get a chance to attend this year's conference, please consider listening to the C-Span Radio broadcast from NORML 2006 this Sunday (and archived for podcast downloads at www.norml.org and www.c-span.org).

I'm trying to imagine a steel axe head going soft in boiling water (temp 212 degrees F).

That recipe must be from an insane asylum.

~Cass

I think the whole point of the "recipe" might have been, like, humour, kind of? Funny, sort of thing? No? My first thought was that you must be German, which would incline you to both humourlessness and a penchant for analysing jokes to death.

"Zer vasser boilink at 212 degrees iss undt zer point meltink schteel of zer 2500 degrees iss. Zis choke zer nein sense makink iss."

But then only Americans and eejuts use Fahrenheit. Water boils at 100 degrees C.

Cockatoos. Now that's a vile culinary atrocity. Tough, stringy, greasy tasting meat, and nothing you can do will make it edible. You could roast it in a Bessemer blast furnace and you wouldn't make it tender.

[OrganicGauntlet]

No, not German, but I did have a British parent. You know how the British are.....


Now, "zis" is funny!

March of 2005 I was in New Orleans and I tried Gator Nuggetts...First off, as we all know...gators aint got nuggetts, secondly, I really didn't like it.

Now, to be fair, the place was a dump...so the preperation could be the guilty party.

But the meat was greasy, tough, chewy, and the texture was very inconsistant. For me food is 80% texture. I like most textures, but if I don't like the feel of the food, no flavor in the world will save it for me.

[LIBRA]

Ewwww, gator balls!! I think some parts of any animal should never be eaten.

Our local supermarket sells 'Lambs Fries'. I've heard them called many things in my life, but whither the name 'Fries'? Still, I suppose a large sign saying 'Sheep's Bollocks' in fluourescent yellow print would have the local spinsters all aswoon and Disgusted from Tunbridge Wells would write to The Grauniad again.

Eckshually they must have some awfully popular lambs on the farm our supermarket buys from, because the ones I got to sample in Australia were about the size of walnuts. (Vis-a-vis the food aspect, it was like chewing on a lego tyre and it tasted like ... well, like someone had cut the pills of some poor brute and stuck them on a plate.) Ahem. I digress. Anyway, the ones in our supermarket are about the size of footballs, so the lambs hereabouts must have very long legs or they must walk very, very carefully. I bet those brambles are a bitch.

I'm not a vegetarian and I still think you're gross.












Ew......

[RAINFOREST MOONCLOUD]

I'm not a vegetarian and I still think you're gross.

Ew......

Gross? Gross? Oh, you precious, sweetums li'l poppet! The things I have written about in my posts aren't gross, you numbskull - they're life. Australian aborigines have exploited the land for 40,000 years and believe me, most of the area in which they live wouldn't support half an American for quarter of an hour. They eat kangaroo, witchetty grubs and Bogong moths, amongst many other things which you would doubtlessly find all icky and gwoss, innit?, because if they don't they will die. Like I said, it's life.

Besides, you don't know what "gross" is, because like the vast majority of people on this mudball you like your food packed and sterilised and delivered to the local supermarket in little polystyrene parcels, don't you? That way, you don't have to think about the "gross" way your life is supported.

Try a visit to your local abbatoir. I have. Want to know something? The little air compressed bolt guns they use to kill the cows don't work very well, and often a cow is merely stunned. The bolt (a ball bearing) is supposed to smash through the cow's skull vaporising the brain, but it goes wrong all the time. Cow's skulls aren't known for their fragility and sometimes the bolt just bounces off, or embeds itself in the brute's head. Sometimes the bolt will just rip out through an eye socket or through the soft palate and end up in the cow's mouth. The slaughtermen don't give a toss - if the cow is knocked off its feet it is ready for the next stage - having its throat cut. Nobody really cares if it is still alive when that happens because having their jugular severed generally quietens the frisky ones down a bit. "Gross" enough for you? Think about that next time you buy a steak. Incidentally, pigs, chickens, lambs, sheep, they don't fare any better. In fact, they have a much, much worse time of it because being smaller they are easier to handle when alive but seriously injured.

If our own species isn't "gross" enough for you take a step out of your front door into good old Mother Nature. She's got gross with big round feckin' shiny bells on, no error.

One species of ichneumon moth (Gambrus nuncius) is a real pisser. The alien chestburster was partly based on the little bugger. It will lay its eggs inside a live swallowtail butterfly caterpillar and when the grub hatches it eats the caterpillar live. From the inside. It starts on the subcutaneous fat and muscle, then the nerves, and finally the blood vessels and heart. It does that to keep the caterpillar alive while it is being eaten alive. Pretty gross, huh?

Ever seen killer whales playing with their food? They get hold of seal pups and throw them back and forward for an hour, tossing them about while still alive, letting them almost slip away before they grab them again and throw them about like little furry Nerf balls. Only after the pup has been smashed to pulp - some are dead, some are not - do they eat it.

Chimpanzees hunt colobus monkeys with what we would consider an appalling level of cruelty, even on human standards. They have been filmed ripping the limbs off living monkies, and eating them while the still living donor bled out. Pairs of chimps have been seen playing a ghoulish game of tug-of-war with live monkies, and the winner gets the biggest bit of the body.

Hyenas eat live prey, ripping lumps out of the hindquarters and flanks of gnu, keeping them alive as long as they can. They do this with a clear sense of understanding of what they are doing, as the Alpha males of some packs have been filmed attacking other hyenas who go for the throat or neck of the poor creature, whilst allowing them to feed on the legs and rump unmolested.

Pretty "gross", eh? There's dozens of other examples but I don't feel like writing another bloody essay.

So, you precious little buttercup, not that I care but you can less it with the pathetic schoolgirl insults. I am not gross, life is, and I just pointed out a few choice bits of it. Live with it, diddums.

[LIBRA]

Well for the most part I have to say I agree with you. I mean that stuff maybe sad, but its part of life. The part of life most people in this country choose to ignore. Most of what we know is prepakaged and sold at the grocery store, never knowing how it gets there.

Whats gross to us, is a way of life to another and visa versa.

I had a friend who worked in a slaughterhouse, he didnt do the slaughtering but he worked in the processing part and i cant even tell you the horrible things he saw. And whats really in hot dogs. He only worked there a very short time too, it was to much to handle.

No, unfortunately its not. I mean the feel you get is pretty much the same, but a lot of the attractions are gone. It's kind of bare bones down there these days. But the Cyclone is still there.

Time Square is still time Square. I suggest approaching it on Broadway or 7th Ave from the north...that way you can see it as you're approaching, and then as you get closer and closer you see it open up into the glorious 5 triggawatt neon orgy that can only be described as spectacular. And obviously, go after sunset.

My favorite time in the square is a weeknight at around 1 AM, all the lights are still on, but it is relatively easy to navigate.

I'm sure if you keep up a verbal assault against a MOD and other members (which is clearly defined as trolling), I'm pretty god damned sure you will get banned again. But the next time it will be for good.

What you are doing would be acceptible if it was all in fun and games, but no one knows who you are on this board and take you act of humor as a personal attack. If you can't accept that, oh well. Maybe you should change your tone, if you can't, then you won't be here long.

I must say that I find it a trifle bizarre that a member of this site is being bullied, hectored and barred from posting simply because he has used his right to express his feelings in an open and frank manner, the fact that some of the members of this site find his comments and opinions to be tasteless or “gross” (and what a stupid, stupid term that is to use amongst adults) is surely not relevant here. As a committed Marxist-Leninist dedicated to instantaneous worldwide revolution and the overthrow of capitalism I believe in “freedom absolute” and though the body politic has the right to protect itself from attack dissension, opinion and rhetoric do not pose any threat, and the expression of extremism viva voce should be encouraged, on two separate bases. First the credibility of the extremist is only as valid as his opinions and the method by which he or she chooses to express them. The value we place on a person’s opinions can be measured by how seriously we take them and it is very easy (though sometimes dangerous) to dismiss the rantings of a clown. Second it would seem to me that this site should be a haven for the expression of extremist opinion, a point that “Rainforest Mooncloud” has already touched on. A site run by and for “hippies” however you define that term should surely not be straightlaced and hidebound by rules of publication and expression. Is that not one of the things we protest on this and other sites? We cannot have compromised freedoms of speech, if “Rainforest Mooncloud” is not free to express his (frankly vulgar and somewhat juvenile) opinions then none of us are free to express ours as we all live with the potential threat of being barred for saying inconvenient or irksome things. Some members may find “Rainforest Mooncloud” and his (?) opinions offensive but as they say “Nothing exists except atoms and empty space; everything else is opinion” – Democritus

I am at a loss to imagine why either of you would think it amusing to make fun of one another's sign-on names, obviously 'Rainforest Mooncloud' made up the drippiest 'hippy' name he could think of in order to make some sort of penetration into this site, establishing his 'green' credentials ahead of time, but the bleakly comic tone of his posts at least makes up for that silly pretension. Like most people I have little time for people who correct my written English, and I would have to say that if he corrected every single grammatical error on this site it is hard to see how he would have the time to do anything else, but I am by no means a pedant so have no concern about such things.

If anyone would like to assist the Communist Party of Great Britain in our struggle against these twin pillars of oppression please post contact details here and I will pass the job vacancy advertisements on to you. I have noted that the member who calls himself 'OrganicGauntlet' might be Canadian, if that is the case I would be very interested in welcoming you to the cause as we believe that MI5 is going to actively recruit Canadians as they have fairly easy access to the United States, are willing and enthusiastic spies and speak reasonable if impaired English. Please do let me know if you might be willing to give it a go.

^ I'm just a little too conservative for your movement, I'm afraid. My Godmother, however, was a card-carying Communist. Also an exiled Russian Countess, as it were.

Although, working for MI5 sounds a bit interesting. Perhaps I'd meet such fascinating women as Moneypenny. I'll bet she shags like a minx.

Comrad Rainforest, what ever...

It's not hard to see that you are alt-nicking. Hell I'd ban you for that but then I'd have to ban Kermit and a few others for that. It's pretty fucking stupid if you ask me, which I don't care if you didn't ask me. I think it's up to the members of this forum to decide if they want to filter through your b.s. or not.

I'm drunk as shit and I don't care at the moment, later dude.
