< Spring fever is spreading like an epidemic here.

V Have you ever eaten eel?

[blackjohn]

^ Yep. As sushi. I've eaten snake too. That was during the filming of The Patriot. This kid (probably 16 or 17) went off to the firewood pile to get some firewood, and killed a black snake during the process. Everyone was very excited, including the kid, who decided he wanted to skin it with the intention of making the skin into some sort of belt. Now, this was right around dinner time, hence the trek to the firewood pile, so the obvious thing to do at this point was to eat the snake. There was a fire. There was butter. But these guys had no seasoning. Enter Blackjohn... and his plethora of spices. I took all of my modern camping gear with me when I went - 7 man tent, air mattress, et cetera, including a really great collection of spices. So I provided the spices and was rewarded with a hunk of garlic snake.

I've also had bear... and other more usual critters too.

< Not really into the PS3 for the games so much as the hi def video. It's like... now that you've heard stereo, could you ever go back to mono. That's the only analogy I can think of when comparing hi def video to regular video. And now, why the heck isn't my HDMI cable working??? (Really, that's why I'm online right now... looking up PS3 troubleshooting.)
