Thoughts; October 17, 2007

I ate a salamander sandwich today. Tasted like chicken. Nasty chicken, but chicken.
Ok, so I'm lying. I just wanted to see if you're reading this.

A former roommate of mine had a friend who dropped acid one time and
had a vision where God visited him in the form of a 600' tall balsawood statue.
It's possible, I guess. But balsawood is kind of lightweight, don't you think?

Salamander? Ewww...!

Crawfish, I can almost imagine...we used to camp at a lake at Mt. Hood when we were kids and we'd raid the crawdad traps and boil them and eat them...almost like lobster...but salamander...

Ewww!


Even if you were kidding, how did you ever come up with that?

This reminded me of Christopher Moore's book "Lamb", which is a humourous (if you're not easily offender) imaginary account of Jesus' childhood and teenage years. One of the village children smashes a salamander with rock and then Jesus picks it up, puts it in his mouth and the salamander comes out healed. The other child smashes it again and Jesus pops it in his mouth and heals it again. This episode repeats several times with another boy pointing at Jesus and yelling "unclean". Finally the boy gets the nerve to come over and say "Can I do that?" Jesus asks "Which part?"

Sorry, but if you post stuff that's "out there" you're going to get stream-of-consciousness responses (LOL).

I haven't had salamander. I wonder if it's anything like frogs' legs. Don't knock it until you've tried it.

ok, ok. Sorry to gross you out. How did I come up with that? No answer to that.

Mariam, that's a great story. I don't think you'd get much meat off a salamander. However, one local salamander, dicamptodon copei, does get to be about 8" long.

I at frog legs once as a kid, but I still prefer chicken. My dad caught them with some other guys one night. Preparing frog legs to cook was really gross, but then again, I guess that could be said about any animal flesh. I prefer to have Albertsons or Safeway do that for me.
