I want to see this blog happen immediately.

Laura says she will at least have webcam pics of some choice bits up imminently.

I want a cross-post of this at Shapely Prose!

[meestagoat]

Oh it will find its way there, believe you me.

Oh my lord that is hilarious and wonderful.

I followed the link to the gallinule, and was immediately reminded of the pukeko of New Zealand. I only mention this because I then noticed that they are both known as "swamp hens" and therefore I am awesome at bird comparisons. Or something.

My new long-term goal is to avoid being glazed with my own intestines.

[meestagoat]

But why deny someone the pleasure of such a delicacy?

[khakipants]

You're right. I'm being selfish.

I think I'm OK with that.

We should combine these recipes with the ones in that cookbook we found and see what we get.

Like, placing an intestines-glazed bird in the center of some macaroni and cheese and putting some possum-hot-dogs in there.

Or tripe and sauerkraut Jello!

Ew.

I'm thinking of changing my internet identity to "figpecker."

[rosewater]

If we blog the book we can be Figpecker and Gallinule. Or Figpecker and Ortolan, because I am kind of fascinated with ortolans, but Figpecker & Gallinule sounds more like a Dickensian law firm.

[meestagoat]

YES

YES

YES

Figpecker & Gallinule is the perfect Dickensian law firm blogonym.
