lmao! #21 and #22 especially hit home for me...

that all seams normal to me ,whats the joke :!: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

yea, wheres the joke?i live in al. aint much difference except our dirt is just a tad bit redder.

im moving to Mississippi or should i say "sippi", frog legs
and white lighting, or adult lemonade, awwwweeeewwwaaaaaa :wink:

what town???

ive lived in the south most of my life and ive never known one person who has eaten frog legs.but i have eaten rattlesnake and its good. but thats a western thing not southern.

yuck.

I've eaten lots and lots and lots of frog legs, and they're delicious. 8) So's rattlesnake.

X 2!

frog legs are to scroney . we eat crawfish.

Eeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwww!!

No frog legs or crawfish, or rattlesnakes here.

well boys i say im sorry. i never have known anyone who ate frog legs. until now!! do they taste like chicken?.ive had snake, bear, deer,gar, turtle, moose etc, just cant bring myself to eat frog. dont know why, just cant. ive even ate horse. i can remember when you could buy horse meat(and goat meat)in chicago back in the 60s.when we went to new orleans i eat gator. GOOD. but i felt guilty because i had a pet gator at home.

I can remember eating coon and possum when I was a kid and times were hard , I remember not liking it but had to eat it anyway..

hey outlaw i was trying to find a comparison for frog and notice you
ate snake and so did i, frog taste like snake, and they are both
very good, they resemble chicken. if you like the dark meat
from turky you would like possum and armadillo, i have never had
gator and will try it but like you, i can't eat horse meat, i had too
many horses as pets and would feel bad, take care bud :wink:

Yeppers frog is a lot like snake, reminds me more of crappie tho, only sweeter. Armadillo, is possum on the half shell. I'll dive into a big ole pile of mud-bugs too, MMMMMMMMM. Never ate no gator, I'd give her a whirl tho. Buff'ler is good, but I pass on the praire goats, meat is just tooo chewy. Squirrel is my favorite tho, we hunt them with flintlock muzzleloaders, .30-.36 caliber. It's the only hunting, I do any more.

it's white meat and it does taste like sweet chicken.
I LOVE 'EM! Better than a tuff ole gator any day!!

Too many things Ga. and Ms. have in common!!! lol

I can relate to that whole list and then some.

I hailed from the TIP of the SIP in Southaven for 15 years till the EX got to acting up, we split and I moved back to my home town of Memphis, tn.

Any ya'll ate turtle?

My dad caught a biga$$ lager head one year and made turtle soup, it was natchy mo good.

Cp

Turtle for me also...

I'm still cracking up over the other white meat......catfish :lol:

My girlfriend was born and rasied in the catfish capitol of the world.

Belzoni, Ms

If you've ever ate catfish from a resturaunt or bought fillets from the store chances are they came from one of the thousands of catfish farms in Humpreys county Ms.

Thought I throw that out there in case you didnt know, Cp

I like to gnaw on some beaver occasionally...

OH YEAH,beaver is my favorite!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Breaker , breaker one nine , any BEAVERS out there?? come on !!

BEAVER!!Oh, my goodness, I turn it upside down, and eat it like a popsickle.

i don't know of any gear head that does'nt like BEAVER, heh
beaver, is good cold or hot, heh heh with or without fur. :wink:

would'nt mind trying turtle soup 8)

I hate catfish....a buddy of mine loves it. I used to fish a creek by my parents house a few years ago and catch a bunch of channel cat in the 4-5 lb range. I wouldn't eat them and my buddy said bring em to him!! So I started cleaning them and giving them to him...that creek ran through several farms and had junk cars in it and everything else. One fish Had a big tumor on it's head. :lol: I took him out there once and after that he didn't want to eat them anymore....not sure why.

i dont like catfish either!or chicken, both of them will eat anything and what ever they eat so do you.if people really knew what was in their food they would be alot more careful with what they eat.man its getting where i cant even go out to eat anymore. i dont know what the cook is doing to my food.ive been to fast food res. where the cashier would handle money then turn around and grab my burger and wrap it up and hand it to me. when i said wash your hands and give me a new burger or give me back my money they yell manager.i dont care i aint gonna eat it.

I know its all in fun but come on down to MS and we will show you what good livin is all about.

It's not my favorite either, just for the simple fact that they are kinda the "cleaners" of the fish world. I'll eatem with alittle dab of hot sauce, tartar sauce, hushpuppies and slaw.

I prefer crappie myself, some small bank runner bass ain't bad every now and then, but my all time favorite, a big ole~mess of bream fillets....

Hell yeah.

Anybody ever watch 'squidbillies' on adult swim?

Now that's some funny shiznit.

Hillbilly Redneck squids..... woulda thunk it.

Cp

If you really start thinking about things it will make you sick. Bathroom doors, I WANT TOUCH THEM with my bare hand. Buffet style ( self service) restaurants errk me! If you had any idea what was in your favorite hot dog you would puke!! Ever eaten anything from Castleberry's? You know that great little hot dog chilie and bbq in a can. Well they found botulism 2 or 3 times in the plant. They finally close it late last year.
You think I would ride on a subway in Atlanta or New York? ONLY IN A BUBBLE SUITE!! I saw a discover chanel show one time that checked ($) bills for drugs and germs. Almost every bill had some trace of a dug on it and the $20 was the worst!!! Think about where all those 1 $ bills have been!!!!!!!!!!!! You touch them then pick your nose then wipe your butt, then stick your finger in your mouth! Then someone makes your hamburger and hands it to you with a smile!

I'll just stick to Mud Racing. It's got to be cleaner!!lol

I travel quite a bit and never turn the TV (in the motel) because I will not touch the remote control. Nuff said???
Dave

Sounds like somebody has a OCD :shock:

BTW?

What does mudracing or dragracing have to do with being a germaphob anyway?

Lions and Tigers, and Bears, Oh my :lol: :lol:

Sorry I got off the subject.
