The gaminess is what makes venison venison, you fuel!

Just cook your meat over a fire. That will convert any kind of critter to

The Chicago school cheating scandal included only 10% of the teachers
while Atlanta's scandal included nearly half of them. Percentages
werren't given in D.C., Philly, or Baltimore scandals. Hmm, if all
these teachers (I'm guessing that only about 1% are actually caught)
are helping our students pass school, what happens to the dummies once
they've graduated? I guess unions take over. <sigh>

Does not bode well.

The wormology you so loosely applied, would condemn canning, certainly
by that canning company.

Yup, but I don't know how to get around that one. IA divisions are *supposed*
to be autonomous but it obviously doesn't always work that way. Feds?

I guess we disagree. College students get coddled way too much, which is
why way too many are worthless for the first 5 or so years of their
employment. They get no sense of what it's like to be employed in the
real world and enter it as entitled adolescents who complain when they
aren't rewarded for mediocrity, cry when they aren't showered with
assurance, and can in no way possibly conceive the fact that taking home
office supplies for personal use is in fact, stealing, precisely because
of the mindset you employ, that "college is a different world."

I've always had a problem with "taking office supplies for personal use
is stealing". Sometimes it's absent mindedness. First company I worked
for they issued us a pocket protector that I filled up with the various
objects needed to do my job, including a place for the badge that got me
in to work--clearly the pocket protector was intended to go home with
me. And its contents went as well. Sometimes at home I'd need to write
something and grab a pen or pencil out of the pocket protector, lay it
down, and forget to put it back. After a while I'd have a dozen pens or
so, which I would take back and stick in my desk at work.

No intent to steal, just the way things go.

Depends on how it's prepared. Never order the moose at the Gouverneur

Until you have venison from around here, where the deer feed on corn,
there is a scale of 'game-ness'. Too gamey is okay in heavily spiced
stews and the corn-fed venison is just awesome.
Moose, on the other hand, is very tasty but rough in texture... and
you get a LOT of meat from an average sized moose.
Some of the guys I know will make moose burger with fatty pork mixed
in and is best served smoked.

Glad you did ... even more illuminating are the "comments" on the
review. Basically, a nation should look at itself in a mirror on
occasion, held up by someone from outside.

It is not a pretty reflection.

Then again, I've been of the opinion for some time that this country is
rotting from the inside and that nothing can stop it at this point ...
simply look at the Chicago school cheating scandal, if that doesn't
convince you, nothing will.

Think deeply about the forces that came together to provide us with that
disgrace and you can't help but understand my pessimism.

Sad ...

One of the granola-cruncher stores here (Earth Fare) sells bison burgers.
They're very lean and otherwise quite like cow.

Technically true. Well, at least illegal entry. Stolen, sure, if it's not

Sure, let the prof handle it. College is a different world, as it should be.

I used to work at a university where I was in charge of all the
audio/video gear the students used to produce their class projects. One
weekend, I came back to work and noticed something some gear was missing
and some funny stuff going on with the paperwork students use to check
out their gear.

A student had forged his professor's signature on the form needed to
check out equipment and he had essentially broken into the equipment
room after hours to take the gear. I confronted the student and he
confessed. When I consulted the professor who's signature he forged
about disciplinary actions, the professor said he was just showing good
instinct as a producer to do whatever it takes to get the project done.

It was essentially stolen property by means of breaking and entering.

I guess we disagree. College students get coddled way too much, which is
why way too many are worthless for the first 5 or so years of their
employment. They get no sense of what it's like to be employed in the
real world and enter it as entitled adolescents who complain when they
aren't rewarded for mediocrity, cry when they aren't showered with
assurance, and can in no way possibly conceive the fact that taking home
office supplies for personal use is in fact, stealing, precisely because
of the mindset you employ, that "college is a different world."

...and I quote:

"This brings me to Australia, which has a population of wild or feral
camels almost one-million strong. Camels are among the most prodigious
“flatulators” on the planet. It is not a good thing, weeping and
nearly blind Australians assure us, to be downwind when either one
camel or (God save the mark) a whole bunch of them, decide to pass
gas."



..weeping and nearly blind Australians....damn that's funny...

This is why I sometimes can't stand this newsgroup. From the context of
this thread and what I've written, I'm *obviously* not referring to
absentmindedly taking home a pencil.

We all know people who have reams of paper from work in their home
office, boxes of pens, etc, or those with work vehicles who drive them
all over for personal use.

The fact that many see nothing wrong with the above or that it's somehow
"owed" to them by their employer, is part of what's wrong with the world.

Never said gamey eas bad, did I? I just said Moose is not as gamey as
venison - more like beef. Some people like venison better than beef,
so they might not like moose.

I really don't understand the reports of Atlanta scandal. It isn't a new
story. It was all over the Atlanta news in January when we were up there.
Maybe because they've finally decided to do something (fire all of the
accused)?

Good for the prof! Were I the prof, I'd likely have "discussed" the situation
with the students and reminded them that it was a crime and that it wasn't
appreciated (forgery, unchecked...). ...then let it drop.

That said, one can get away with a lot more in college than the secondary
grades (and on down), as it should be. ...which is part of the reason I can
support tenure for college professors and not for primary and secondary school
teachers.

Nah. Everything I eat is processed. NOTHING can survive past that.
;)

Show me a worm in a Banquet chicken fried beef steak meal, sir. I dare
ya!

The risk is a bit (40 times!) lower now than when I started avoiding
pork, though. http://www.cdc.gov/parasites/trichinellosis/epi.html
The U.S. showed 400 cases per year then v. 11 now.

I cook all fish thoroughly, too.

That's why I leave my microscope at home when eating an El Panchito at
Los Gallitos!

Atlanta is firing (or has "requested the resignation from") 170something
teachers and administrators. *ALL* teachers and administrators should be
forced to give back all raises they've "earned" over the last decade.

Well, that's what they're *supposed* to do. ;-)

They become teachers.

Nope, but such things are not unexpected when the foxes are allowed to guard
the chicken coop.

After my sister took her biology class at ASU in '72, I gave up pork.
They took a canned, fully-cooked ham out of a can, brushed on some oil
and vinegar dressing, and put it under the microscope. There were lots
of little worms coming up through the dressing. Her description of
this sold me and I gave up pork along with her. I couldn't give up
bacon, but I switched to turkey bacon and it's delish!

WHAT? You grow bananas -and- corn up in Canuckistan? What'll they
think of next, Summer and dry air?

I'd guess there were ten or more pounds on a leetle moose...

Well, that and the fact that an entire section of the population has
stricken it from their diet. And the fact that I used to drive through
Norco, CA on the way to Las Vegas for COMDEX every year. i had to
completely shut off the heater/vents and roll the windows up tight,
then hold my breath for 5 miles while the pig farms were in sight and
smell. One trip through Norco on I-15 is enough to cure anyone of
eating pork. Multiply dairy stench by 50 and get one pig farm's lovely
scent.

The one item I did hate giving up was the carnitas taco, though.
And turkey bacon is better than real pork bacon. Don't -even- get me
started on that crap they call "Canuckistani Bacon", please. It's pork
with attitude, fer chrissake.

'Taint Kosher.

Jeez Larry, If you put every thing that you eat under the microscope
you would probably starve to death.
