hmmm

Pretty simple, actually.... the Feds poisoned them....

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,483627,00.html

Wish they'd come up with the same program for Canada
Geese.

They do. I work at an airport where they have hired the
feds as
hitmen. They spray the eggs so that new generations
don't hatch and
for the ones that don't get it, they carry 12 gauge
finalizers......

A goose poops like an elephant....

No ****. No - lots of ****. You should see the mess
they've made of the fairways
at the golf course. This year seems much worse than I've
seen it before.

I've hit one with a ball and and I know a few others that
have too.

I hope you killed it. And, I hope it wasn't swimming at the
time. That could
cost a stroke. There's no amount of dead geese worth a
penalty stroke.


That is one advantage of not keeping score. ;-)
The only rule about killing a goose is someone should dress
it out and
eat it. Waste not, want not.

Golf course geese are usually good eating but they may be
fatty. Try
to limit them to once a week.

I tried a goose once, in Germany where they're common at
Christmastime. (Gosh, I
hope my mention of Christmas didn't **** off anyone.)

Anyway, it was atrocious. My kid took the first bite, which
she spit out. I sent
her to her room. I then took my first bite, which I spit out.

So, I called my daughter, apologized for trying to make her
eat the stuff, and
we had hamburgers for Christmas dinner.


Some years ago, my wife and I spent the Thanksgiving holiday
in New
Orleans. The concierge at the little hotel where we were
staying
recommended a Thanksgiving holiday buffet at one of the old,
famous New
Orleans hotel restaurants, I forgot which one. Anyway, we
went. The food
was indeed fabulous, everything beautiful and properly
prepared.

There was a roast goose there, so I asked one of the servers
to slice
off a piece for me. It looked okay and it smelled okay, but I
didn't
care much for the taste. To me, it tasted overly fatty and
gamey.

That was the first and only time I tried roasted goose.

The hotel where we have always stayed in New Orleans:

If you like reasonably small hotels with real furniture in the
rooms
and no cookie-cutter-ness anywhere, this is the place to stay.
Free
parking on site, too, and within walking distance of a lot to
see.


Harry, do you feel a strong need to reply to every post I may
make?

I don't like hotels. I don't like bed bugs. I don't like dirty
beds. I enjoy my
RV, and get a lot of use from same.

Just think.... $1500. Not a bad little sum. Just for acting
somewhat mature. You
could probably do it.


Hehehe. All the cheap skates aren't on hockey players, eh,
herring? The
idea of traveling on the road all day and then spending the
night in a
little sardine can camper...naw.

Sorry, Herring, not interested in your bet. Here's another
reason why:
there are many ways for you to wiggle out of it.

Not with Tim holding our money, Harry.


John, I could very easily refrain from insulting anyone here,
directly
or, as you do it usually, indirectly. Unlike you, I am in control
of myself.

If I were making such a bet, I wouldn't need Tim to hold my money
or
yours. You know where I live and I know where you live.

I'll make you a counterbet. I'll bet you I can refrain from making
a
negative comment about any poster here for, say, two weeks. You
can bet
me I can't do that. At the end of the two weeks, if I have
fulfilled the
bet, you can send me $1500 cash. If not, I'll send you $1500 cash.
By
cash, I mean cash, genuine cashier's check, postal money orders...
of
the realm.

That's the entire bet. Take it or leave it. What you do in that
two week
period or beyond is up to you and not part of the bet. I don't
give a
flying **** how you behave here.

Accept or reject.




Gee, two whole weeks? Wow. You're really sure of your capabilities,
aren't you?

Here's my counter-counter bet. We put up $1500, the money to be
held by Tim. We
eackh refrain from making negative comments about any other poster
here for,
say, until we can't control ourselves any longer. The first person
to lose
control and make a negative comment loses the bet. Tim sends the
$3000 to
wherever the winner chooses.

Put something on the line besides your big mouth.


Sorry, Herring...I'd only go for a fixed time period. You think two
weeks is too short? Fine. Make it a month. And the bet is on my
behavior, not yours. As I stated, I don't give a **** how you
behave.
You're free to do as you wish. The bet is on how I behave.

As I said earlier, accept or reject. And I don't need Tim to hold
your
money or mine. If you lose I would expect you to pay up, directly.

If you reject, which I am sure you will do, just move on with your
moronic bets and continue to behave like the asshole you are.

Accept or reject. Simple.

Five years, Harry. Go for it.

Just to make it easy, we'll say 31 December, 2015. That gives you a
few free
weeks.

Yeah, I figured you wouldn't really have the stones.

No one would take your offer, dumb ass. What's in it for John? It's one
sided because you are a pussy.

Harry is a thief. He helped bilk millions from the Uuilco retirees. We
can only guess who's money he's been spending on boats, decks, and gas
grills lately. Probably got his mits into all that payoff money Obama
gave the labor unions and auto manufacturers retirements fund payoffs...

You are incorrect. It should be mitts, not mits
