Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Not a mammal.
Pork?
One of the students (we have some seriously kind people at the centre) brought in roast pig this week. As in a roast pig, whole. We descended on it like locusts and picked its bones clean with the help of some lovely sauce, but not before I got a chance to sink a cleaver into its skull a few times.
Which apparently is taking it a bit far. Puts me in mind of this shirt.
Okay. I should go buy bananas, because I've been without them at breakfast too long, and I should bake bread. I should also decide what I'm wearing (if I can go) to one of the student's birthday party tomorrow. Sunday night! Freak.

ita, is it J's birthday?
Roast pig is yum. And i'm not even a pork fan.
I'm realizing that I have the most random research methodology. My "outline" is done not by topic, but by book, so that all notes that go with Eat My Words is under that topic. Then perhaps I'll rearrange.
Ugh.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
For ita: Video of decomposing piglets
It's gross, but actually not as gross as I was afraid it was going to be. Oh, and YouTube makes you verify you're an adult to watch it.
Dr. Jerry Payne's time lapse movie of the decomposition of a baby pig. The technique of time-lapse photography is employed to illustrate the rapid removal of carrion (4 days reduced to approximately 6 minutes). The film demonstrates the sequence of tissue destruction and the role of insects in the ultimate dismemberment of the pig carcass and soil movement. The pink and purple beads were added to show the intense activities of the insects in moving the carcass and soil. Succession is the idea that as each organism or group of organisms feeds on a body, it changes the body. This change in turn makes the body attractive to another group of organisms, which changes the body for the next group, and so on until the body has been reduced to a skeleton.
It's the cirrrrcle of liiiiife....

It's almost dinner time, I think I'll avoid that video.

Yeah, I was eating when I watched it. (Pepperoni has pig in it, right?) I was all set to click on 'pause' at a moment's notice, but I didn't have to.
Maybe it's because I grew up seeing dead and decaying animals on a somewhat regular basis....

Blah. I'm neither logging in nor signing up. YouTube doesn't have sufficient pull for me yet to do that.
There was a scene in this week's CSI that made me think of the video--I'd heard of it, but hadn't had a look for it.
is it J's birthday?
Yup. Stretch turns 30. I asked around to make sure krav people were going to be there, because I'd hate to show up alone and be surrounded by strange shiny people.
Yay! Internet connection is back! I should stop borrowing this signal.

Australianistas, beware of snakes!
Australian wildlife officials warn that a serious drought is driving tens of thousands of snakes into urban areas.
Many venomous reptiles are moving into residential and business areas in search of moisture.
Experts have warned that an army of snakes is on the move, looking for water. Driven by extreme thirst they have been discovered in gardens, bedrooms and even Australian shopping centres.

But you could add to your list of you've made out with who have an IMDB entry...not that I'm advocating that you do that.
