If you can think of something to talk about that is not related to knives, discuss it here.

All I have to say on this topic is, y'all ain't seen nothing until you've spent some time in China. ::woot:: When working there I often ate lunch daily with some of the folks from our factory, at local restaurants nearby. My unspoken policy was if they eat it, I'll eat it.

Sometimes it was obvious what it was. Most meat including fish and chicken are prepared with the head intact - fish eyes for example are considered a delicacy. Occasionally I learned only later what I had eaten. Grilled sheep stomach is surprisingly good! Generally, I didn't care to know so I didn't ask. What I learned is, they waste nothing!

Ken,
Your post made me think of my old uncle. ::hmm:: Some one had asked him had he ever eaten fox and he replied, "It tastes a lot like dog." Sittin' here thinking about that also reminds me that a few years ago folks required a foot to be left on a dressed coon before they would buy one to eat, apparently they must taste like a house cat. :)
Got to quit while I'm ahead. ::paranoid::

We went to Georgia for a grandson's 12th birthday last weekend. My wife had this picture on her phone of the young feller and the knives he got for his birthday:

He got a new Case Carhart Trapper, a Colonial stockman and a Case Bros. midsize folding hunter.

I grew up with all rural relatives, although my family was suburban Birmingham.

I have eaten, as a youngster, some strange things, but as I became more and more medically educated, I got really tuned off to any of that.

Nutritional value aside, I just cannot eat anything whose sole purpose in life was the filtration of impurities from its host body.

Charlie, what would your dear old Grannie say if she found out you're turning up your nose at innards? Why she would spin like a top in her grave. :mrgreen:

is this thread supposed to be different that the "Pictures of Misc Stuff and Things" thread? viewtopic.php?f=21&t=23880
Not complaining - just wanting to post in the right thread.

Ha! I didn't see that thread so no, this wouldn't be any different. If the mods can delete this that would be good and I'll post in Pics and Misc. Stuff. ::dang::

Mine was a 1975 850T, bought new. Solid as a rock. Loved it.

1978, me and my son doing 100 MPH in the driveway, up on the center stand.

Eustace, I can figure most of the stuff out, but what is the "staff" of gold columns in the skeleton's right hand, some kind of ceremonial scepter?

And, uh, is that this at the far right a penis cap???? :shock: From it's position in the skeleton that's the only thing I can come up with.

Never heard of such a thing but that is what it looks like considering the position. For the man that had everything.

When my boys were young, they had many of the smaller GI Joes.

If left lying around, our dog, CIDG, would chew them up.

Imagine my surprise when he passed a fecal mass one day in the yard with a clinched fist and part of an arm sticking out of it.

No cell phones or digital cameras at the time, but I sure wish I’d grabbed the 35mm and taken a close-up of it.

Just about everything here is in bloom, yellow bells, plum trees, tulip trees, daffodils, etc.

Probably all will get frost bit.
