"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Apparently, one of the bikers ran into a labrador earlier this week.

That's what I saw on a TV a few days ago. Wasn't 100% what had happened (the sound was off), but it looked odd.

But I'm still not that eager to try a flank steak from Mr. Ed.

Also, I think I'd avoid any horse dish that metioned apples.

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

I suppose they're not really that different from beef cattle aside from all the romanticizing of "trusted steeds" in Western culture. But I'm still not that eager to try a flank steak from Mr. Ed.

Yeah. I heard Mr. Ed really slept around....

That's the thing. Wilbur and Lambchop aside, there are certain cultural lines that don't get crossed. Dogs are PETS. So are cats. Horses are to be ridden, and to save the day, and all that. Weird.

Yeah, I don't want to try it anyway.

I've also lost my appetite for lunch.

I wouldn't eat horse because I have all those romantic attitudes about horses. But I suppose that's no more logical than my niece who won't eat venison because of Bambi. (I always offer to take her share of the chicken-fried venison steak.)

I have a food coma. I am happy to report that it has absolutely nothing to do with horse meat.

I reviewed your book on my blog--did you see it?
