Pigeon Snacks.
What drives a normal person to eat a pigeon ?
Yes, the pigeon, little grey flight enabled, commonly sighted at amusement parks bird. What on earth would drive a person to eat one?
I admit, I’ve eaten some pretty odd things in my life time at 25… In no particular order: Caviar (fish eggs, for those who don’t know what that is..). Octopus, Lobster (though I hate it), Spiders, Katsup, and last Military food..(including MREs). But again, I state, what makes a person hungry enough to eat one of these:
How do you even cook pigeon? Mash (shoot?) em, boil em, stick em in a stew?
The reason I bring this into light is because today while waiting all of fifteen minutes for the bus, I encountered what I’m going to brand from here on out as Transpo Crazies™. You’ve all read my weblog before and have read about my adventures with Transpo Crazies™, but now they have a name. Why now after all this time? Because the hero(?) of our story today (Pigeon Eating Man) so inspired me to write, that I ran upstairs before the bus came and wrote most of this blog on the bus, on paper!
I have no idea what this blog would be without Transpo Crazies™, or the much more vast and expansive critters known as Indiana Crazies™, and the stories they generate for me to write about, but it’d probably be a lot more boring.
Anyway, back to the subject at hand.. Eating pigeons.
I suppose if you’re hungry enough you’ll eat anything.. as shown as by the Science Channel’s Survivorman. But still, wouldn’t you rather eat a Kellogg’s Special K Blueberry Bar (my breakfast today.. x2..) or a Butterfinger candy bar instead? I suppose if you were stranded in a desert like Lee Stroud in Survivorman, you’d eat anything you can get your hands on, but you wouldn’t have pigeons.. you’d have lizards or something…
I brought this subject up with Frank (my assistant manager) at work, and he mentioned he’d probably eat them. Then again, Frank will eat anything with enough Katsup on it.. he’s just that way. A regular who happened to be in the store at the same time we were discussing this subject mentioned that in some of the lower fifty states, its actually illegal to take road kill off the road and consume it.
Do we really have that much of a problem that people can’t scrap up $1.06 (or whatever it is in the lower fifty states..) and pay for a cheeseburger at McDonalds? Yeesh. Road kill branches out and opens up a whole new menu.. Dog, possum, skunk.. makes the tummy grumble and rumble with excitement .. doesn’t it? Mmm. Fresh skunk off the highway, just like the way mom used to make…

Speaking of getting sick..
The Ryan’s Steakhouse where I used to work a long time ago, was rumored to be shut down yesterday because they didn’t have sufficient work staff.. Wither or not this is true, I haven’t got a clue but there weren’t any cars in the parking lot when the bus drove by at 11:30 in the afternoon.. I guess the Illegal Immigrant Strike had more of an effect on them than they thought was possible. As it is, I don’t know why they haven’t closed that places doors for good yet.. they never seem to have any business as it is..
That’s about all thats happened today, because we had a pretty slow day at work, but it was fun.. and tomorrows my day off, so I think this might be enough to get you thinking of Pigeon with BBQ sauce…
