I was watching some of the Dirty Jobs marathon yesterday, and at least one town (I think it might have been Tulsa) composts its roadkill and uses it for mulch.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

City composting is way cool! I don't think we have that...

Also, I'm an unrepentant meatatarian, and I was always taught that the compost bin is veg-only. Hrrmph on the anti-vegan screed-writer with his (I'm assuming) dumbassed assumptions!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

what the heck is donair pizza?!

Also this!?! Donair sounds like a combination of Donuts and a Corvair car.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Donair is like gyro: [link]

Which actually explains why, when I was on vacation with my family in Nova Scotia, and my dad asked what kind of meat was in the donair, the waitress looked blank and said, "Donair meat?"

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 was thinking a debonair donkey....

From Wikipedia

A variation on the döner kebab known as a Donair was introduced in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada in the early 1970s. A restaurant called King of Donair claims to have been the first to serve this version in 1973.[1]

The meat in this version of the döner kebab (Halifax donair, as it is sometimes referred to) is sliced from a loaf cooked on a vertical spit, made from a combination of ground beef, flour or bread crumbs, and various spices, while the sauce is made from evaporated milk, sugar, vinegar, and garlic. The meat and sauce are served rolled in pita bread with diced tomato and onion. This version is generally so packed with ingredients, that the pita is almost there for ceremonial purposes; the pita of any true Haligonian donair will be so soaked in sauce that attempts to pick it up will be fruitless.

This version of the donair is very popular throughout the Maritime region of Canada, and is also available in some other areas of the country, with many fast food pizza restaurants also featuring donairs on the menu. Many of them also offer a donair pizza featuring all of the donair ingredients served on a pizza crust. Donair subs are also not uncommon.

Basically, it's a vile thing that only people who are drink off their asses eat.

I'm pretty sure there must be some cities in the US that have curbside composting pick-up. I think Toronto is getting on board with it now, but we've had it for about 10 years I'd say. It's really great, I'd say that I have only a small can of garbage every two weeks. And half of that is kitty litter, which is not compostable.

Seattle has it every other week (alternate weeks are recycling). It's yard waste plus non-meat food waste and food-soiled paper products like empty pizza boxes and used paper towels.

huh...it sounds pretty good to me!

I wish we had curbside composting pick up. Also, good public transportation. And less murder. etc.
