Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

OK, this is the question that popped into my brain on my way to work:

Are the land animals that people eat typically herbivores? Or are there any carnivores that get eaten in western society?

Ducks eat little grubs and bugs and such, so they're carnivores, right? I can't think of any land animals... OK, crocodile and snake, I suppose.

OK, any land mammal carnivores?

I have an 8am meeting.

I have a meeting from 11:30-1pm. I look upon it with great horror and dread.

Mostly lurking...

Good morning, all. Despite my living nowhere near the exciting explosions and power outage of Central Sq., I came home to no power as well. It went out at 7:45, and I listened to the game on walkman with candles on the kitchen table, and went to bed early.

I felt so badly when we got your message! Poor you!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Are they providing food, shrift? I have a co-worker that loved 11-2 meetings, despite management having a 1 hour guideline for meeting time. Across lunch! No food! Are these people aliens?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

In some cultures people eat dogs, and IIRC bears have been et up in the past (or are they omnivores?), but other than that I'm coming up blank.

I think the general rule is, the further along the food chain you get from the vegetables, the more compromised the nutrients being passed along, in terms of concentration and contamination.

Me, I prefer eating herbivores.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

any land mammal carnivores

Pigs are omnivores, so I think they qualify.

Monday has reasserted its crappitude - I just killed the largest roach I've ever seen outside of nature programs on TV. The damn thing was roughly 3 inches long and drew my attention because the noise it made scrabbling across the ceiling moldings was audible from across my living room. Thank God I had hockey sticks near at hand.

This brings me back to BLOOM COUNTY and Binkley's Anxiety Closet: Clumsy coakroaches walking on the ceiling.

Timelies. Not so much with the Gronk, thank dog.

Pigs are omnivores.

What animals do pigs eat?

Does it make you a carnivore if you just eat bugs?
