Two canibals overpower a clown and cook him up. One says: "Does this

Reminds me of an old Soldier of Fortune magazine. It had an article on
"people harvesting" in case of national emergency. It advocated wino's
because not only would they be not missed, the wine consumption over the
years would have marinated the meat.
Of course, it was written in fun to rile up the liberal media. They would
rant on and on about the terible SOF magazine. And SOF subscriptions sales
went up everytime the regular media responded to another over the top
article. It was generally believed by most that the liberal reporters never
figured out they were being played with.

That is the smell of money....

Years ago, my cousin was a cop in NY. There was an alarm, after hours, at a
Chinese restaurant. He was sent to investigate. The back door was open and
when he entered to look for the perp he saw a trash can filled with cat
heads and skins. He called in what he saw. When the owner showed up a bit
later he was arrested. The results and publicity of the arrest were
catastrophic for the restaurant's business. (pun intended)

I never had the smell. I've never been to a HF store and have no incentive
to go either. Thanks for confirming my reasons.

A Chinese coworker once told me that they think caucasians are strange -
when caucasians see an animal, they're thinking something like "Oh, how
cute.". When a Chinese sees an animal they're wondering how best to
prepare it.

Not surprising. It was starting to change in the early 80's before I moved

I agree on the dogs, problem in asian cultures is they don't have that
specialized relationship we Westerners do.
You and I see a part of the family, asians think in terms of food on the
table.
One of the things you notice over there is the lack of dogs on the hoof.

What makes dogs disgusting that is so different from cows, pigs, and Mary's

I used to go to the Italian markets on 9th street in Philly. You could pick

In a very real sense, this has to do with food as well. Up until about the
Victorian age, people looked at dogs primarily as working animals, and less
so as pets. During the Victorian era it became a status symbol to have a
non-working dog as a pet. This was a form of conspicuous consumption -
showing off the fact that you had enough wealth (and food) to support an
animal just for the pleasure its company gave you. During this time there
was a great movement towards breeding smaller and smaller dogs as
companions, giving us many of the breeds we have in our homes today.

Once there were two canibals hiding in the bushes. A guy walks by.
The jump him and kill him. One starts eating at the head, the other
the feet. The one at the head says, "how are you doing down there?".
The other says, "I'm having a ball". The first canibal says, "You're
eating too fast!!!"

Chinese restaurant in the town near where I was stationed in England
got shut down for a while for serving cat Food. Many of us suspected
it was the "on the hoof" variety of cat food. In a word, Rodents.

Good luck. I've been storing a dolley, with "rubber" tires from HF, in a
store room for two years and the stink from the "rubber" is still enough to
run you out of the place.

Four legs good. Two legs bad.
There is nothing wrong or controversial about eating dogs that are
raised for the meat. This is just like eating cows that people raised
for the meat.
This is controversial if someone eats a dog that is raised in the
family as a pet or as a hunting dog or a guard dog. That would be
like eating a family member or like hurting someone who has helped
you. This also means that we should be very upset if we heard someone
who ate a pig that was raised in that person's family as a pet. On
the other hand, I don't see any reason why I would be upset if someone
eats a dog that is raised for meat.
Dogs being eaten in China are raised for meat. They are not pets.

Dogs have a specialized relationship to humans as companions, which has
existed apparently since the beginning of biologically modern humans

And in some cultures I suspect they've been on the menu for about as
long as they have been domesticated or longer. Certainly it's nothing
new in locale mentioned; simply not what the poster is accustomed to.

Nooo, it's really not. Cows were *bread*, as a species, for meat. And to be docile,
not develop binds with people, etc.
Dogs evolved as companions for people, with great emotional attachments to them
(and vice versa).

they might have been bred for it, but certainly aren't bread.

That doesn't make them any less edible. Horses do work around the
farm/ranch and still end up on the table.
Their rubber and plastic parts are made from recycled junk from here mixed
with a bunch of US banned chemicals. Why do you think they want all of our
recyclable rubber and plastics? They remelt or alter the formulation and
then sell it to us! Remember all the kids toys which were recalled due to
numerous problems like lead and other banned chemicals. Now imagine going
to their country and having to smell that same smell everywhere. I pity it
may make a few of the foreign athletes a little nauseous. They also banned
dog meat in restaurants for the Olympians! That is a sight I will never
forget when they had dogs in cages waiting to be killed and served to eat.
Very disgusting.

Told this one years ago, but here it is again:
Left Hong Kong on a Greek ocean liner back in the 60's and about three days
out the menu read "Rabbit with rice pilaf" ... however, it was damn hard to
fool a country boy who's family raised rabbits to eat, and who dissected a
cat or two in a comparative anatomy class in college.
Of course, I wasted no time in setting the record straight to the warm and
fuzzies at my table who, seeing all those cats in cages in some of the
markets, had been gushing about how much the Chinese were pet lovers.
I passed on the "rabbit" that day ... but had to swallow dog, out of
courtesy, on more than one occasion .. another story entirely.
Some things never change ...

I have been harping about that stink in many previous posts. Many of us
Wreckers have agreed that Chinese rubber/plastic STINKS!
I know I can buy a tool for cheap, for limited use at Princess Auto (A
Canuckistani version of HF) but I absolutely dread walking in there.
I had a rubber-coated flashlight in a metal toolbox. It was in one of my
trucks for a week or so and MAN.. I opened the toolbox and bloody-near
got floored by the fumes.
To the best of my knowledge, the Chinese rubber stink is as hard to get
rid of as is Hillary.

Ever hear the Weird Al Yankovic song "The Cat's in the Kettle" ?
(sung to the Harry Chapin tune of similar name)
