They can drown in a rain storm... sure do taste good though! They are and they do .. ;-p Been watching National Geographic Channel a bit the last few weeks .. be some other stupid critters out and about too and I reckon that's why they run in herds .. so some will survive and at the same time, there will always be enough seals and penguins to feed ol' Orca and enough wildebeast and dummy deer in Africa to feed them big ol' crocogaters .. But ol' Mr. Wild Turkey is one of the wiliest critters there is - ask any hunter and they'll tell you it's one of the hardest critters to bag in these here United States of America. And the Kentucky Bourbon named after this boid is finer'n frog hair and smoother'en a baby's butt. While on that subject .. congratulations to you, your family and the new addition to the family .. :-) Y'all keep smiling, Butch http://www.AV-AT.com > Cheers! > Kathleen Petrides > SmeLLeNNiuM: 101 Aromatic Stories > http://www.101aromas.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
