Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

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.

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

Pigs are omnivores.

What animals do pigs eat?

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

Aside from scavenging, they will eat small rodents.

I think of insectivores as separate from carnivores.

Ann, that's a ferret.

OK - this photo: funny or mean?

If that was a statue, funny. If a child, mean.

And I'm not sure whether that was a statue or a child.

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

Isn't that an insectivore?

Weird blog. This kid told his parents that he's gay, so they sent him to a Christian "re-programming" camp. Here's a list of the rules of the camp:

Here's the actual blog start page: [link]

Well today, my mother, father, and I had a very long "talk" in my room where they let me know I am to apply for a fundamentalist christian program for gays. They tell me that there is something psychologically wrong with me, and they "raised me wrong." I'm a big screw up to them, who isn't on the path God wants me to be on. So I'm sitting here in tears, joing the rest of those kids who complain about their parents on blogs - and I can't help it.

Rattlesnakes aren't mammals, of course, but they are carnivores. There is a recipe at the bottom of this page: [link]
