Hey I never pissed in your corn flakes … and have always been civil to you. I asked you a civil question about your wife cooking you a traditional Cheyenne meal.
But if she hasn't guess she doesn’t think much of you think I can see why
and I wouldn't take your favorite parts

*ahem*

…

ahem that is not pissing in his corn flakes
edited to add... Why did you cut the exchange short? Affraid it would make you look like an ass

By all means post the remainder of said exchange. You know, the parts that exonerate you.

I really don't know what you're talking about. You'll have to explain your objection in a lucid manner.

Good luck with that.

cesspool: A place where sewage is held; a cesspit; A filthy place

sounds like FMB to me maybe Barb was right

That doesn't sound like an explanation of whatever your objection was. That's just another example of you attacking the entire board. Like XXMag said, why not just post the rest of what I left out and explain how it exonerates you?

No, you made a nasty, back-handed cheap shot. I am fully aware that dogs were eaten by the Cheyenne and other northern plains tribes. I did make it clear to you that my wife's family integrated into mainstream America, and did so a long time ago, before she was even born. Eating of dogs may continue on some parts of the reservation, but the probability of it happening amongst people of Cheyenne descent who are everyday people living in everyday, mainstream American culture is practically zero. You know it and I know it. Really, would you ask an American of Chinese descent the exact same question? Or would that be considered rude? You haven't been civil. You've been a first-rate douchebag.

Like where the hell would she get the dog anyway?

It was not "a nasty, back-handed cheap shot". It was an honest and open question... but you're right you did say that you're wife and her family were apples red on the outside and white on the inside LOL Last time I had dog was a at a Cheyenne home in Tempe Az... and up to the Apple comment I had been civil to you.

at the pound

What was the first time?

So you thought it was reasonable to believe that an urban housewife, not part of any dog eating culture...would just suddenly take it upon herself to hike down to the pound and get a puppy to boil for supper?

The hell Pops....you think she would be genetically disposed to that?

Sure can't see why not, after all it's not like they have it every day, the last time I had it was a celebration where the peoples grandparents had come from Oklahoma... and they had a big "blow out" party, lots of dishes I had never had some like fry bread I had.
I see no reason to be ashamed of eating dog or it's tradition after all its just another source of protein…

dig deep the puppy is on the bottom

LOL Nope... several indigenous peoples eat dog some eat horse not as much now as they did when I was a kid… You ain’t lived till you had a big bowl of chokecherries and grease.

I don't think you quite understand.

I see no reason to be ashamed of eating a dog myself....but neither do I see how anyone could have the slightest reasonable expectation that Griz's wife would suddenly, completely out of the blue decide to serve one for dinner. Think she walks around in beaded dresses and carries a tomahawk too?

Do you think she is genetically disposed to those things?

Lots of people eat lots of things. A friend of my grandfather ate fried squirrel heads.

Genetically disposed no that’s not only another of your red herrings but it’s stupid but culturally? There is a possibility that she might just hike down to the pound and whip up some puppy stew and how she dresses I would have no idea but being married to griz it might be a good idea for her to go packin a .45 tomiehawk

ate quite a few of those when I was a kid.. boiled though. Still like fried squirrel and gravy with some biscuits mmmmmmmmmmmmm.

We call that squirrel hash at my house. I love it.

Suuuuuurre you do.

But Griz indicated that culturally, she was "mainstream American". Didn't grow up in the native culture. Hasn't lived in that culture.

So again, how could anyone reasonably expect she would suddenly decide to kill a dog and serve it for dinner? If that's a reasonable expectation; aren't beaded dresses and tomahawks also a reasonable expectation?

The answer is that none of those are reasonable expectations. There are a number of possible conclusions that can be drawn from your remark-not just the one that Grizzly drew.

1. You did it because you are- as was remarked- a douche.

2. You didn't read Grizzly's post very well or didn't understand what you did read.

3. You really do think it is reasonable to expect that someone could be expected to boil and eat dogs simply because they happen to be of a certain genetic heritage.

4. You wanted to show how you were really "down wit' da culture", and were pretty clumsy in doing that.

Now there. See? I defended you.

Why wouldn't he? I don't care for squirrel myself, but I know quite a few people who like it.

that was a grace attempt at being funny due to our past battle where she refused to accept the fact that I do indeed eat squirrel and dont just shoot em for target practise. BTW GRACE

Ahhh....now I see. Thanks.

I remember that now too. And I'm sure that I mentioned there that I happen to like squirrel there too. And I distinctly remember asking why the notion that Steve eats squirrel is so far fetched. As mentioned, fried squirrel with the drippings made into gravy and the bits of meat pulled apart and stirred into the gravy (squirrel hash) and poured over cat head biscuits is fan-fucking-tastic. Then again, I'll eat damn near anything. But I do have my limits. I know a few guys who fry squirrel brains and claim that they are delicious. I'd never know.

I don't typically squirrel hunt. It can be fun, but those little bastards are so hard to clean that I figure that they're more trouble than they are worth. Though I do see some squirrel cleaning in my future as my kids get old enough for bloodshed.

cut through the tail from the underside, but do NOT cut it off. Step on the tail and pull the back legs.
squirrel skinning video

I'll be damned. It was like that thing had a fucking zipper.

Now I wonder if there's a video on the cool way I learned to dress a grouse with only a pair of pruning shears.

And does anyone else skin deer without a bone saw? All of the guys I hunt with break out a saw. I've got a knife that I don't get too worked up about keeping its edge and a fundamental knowledge of biology. I find that to be quicker, easier and cleaner. Attack the joints in a logical way and the damn thing comes apart no problem.

I don't use a saw.. Like you I cut and pop the joints. I try to never cut the bones at all and simply bone everything out. Someone told me that cutting into the bones changes the meat flavor and I will say that I havent had that "gamey" taste since starting to do it this way.

You guys are disgusting. Blech.

Your shrimp and fish don't come out of the water ready to eat.

Yeah but who's talking about the blood, skin and guts in detail like it's the greatest thing and posting how to videos where squirrel skin comes off like a zipper?

it is reality. Just because you don't see it doesn't mean it doesn't happen the same way to YOUR food.

Steve



I'm not arguing it doesn't happen. It's just something most people probably don't want to discuss in morbid detail. Some people cringe at blood, guts, bone saws, skinning, gutting, blood letting, slicing.

While Steve has a valid point, polite company might have moved that to the hunting boards and posted a warning. It never occurred to me. The threads here wander around in a stream of consciousness kinda way that I really like. Steve simply pointed out a tip in an area both of us are interested in and we got caught up in the subject.

I'm not exactly heartbroken about that. But hey, Steve, Grace is a friend of mine and we can take this kind of thing to a more appropriate place.

Thanks XXMag, but I was being a little playful. Just another ICM (internet communication misunderstanding). I made that up. Watch how it travels 'round the world. 5 years from now it'll be as common as LOL. LOL.

no problem XX... But I think grace is not as offended as her internet personna depicts. I think this was merely an ICM.

ROFL.

It could also mean, Intelligent Communication Meltdown.

Uh...I don't mind playing nice when it comes to pictures. I was never much for posting them anyway. But I don't want to limit myself in descriptions now as well. What if I someday find it necessary in debate to describe how a cat looks after it goes through the undercarriage of a 943 Caterpillar?
