And I just checked on the Internet. You can
buy snake sausages from Florida if you do not
like chicken, but they say it tastes like chicken.
It does. So does frog. That's from ancient memory.
Further reading says boas are toxic. That's from modern mercury.
Person 1: I'm going to have a snack [...] A snake.
Person 2: Seriously? You're having a snake for a snack?

Ok Bryan. Now that you bring it up, how does a
rock star turn that into lyrics for a hit song?
How in the world would I know? Also, that's not an interesting topic for
a song. Do any of these lyrics look like something that would make the
pop charts? I'm rather proud of them, and they address topics that I
felt needed to be spoken about, but the audience would always be limited.

I've only written one food related song, and I don't think there's any
chance it'd hit the Billboard Top 100.
FAST FOOD MAN
The food tastes good and I'm lovin' my meal
But if I got to thinkin', it could really spoil it
When I think about whether you wash your hands
When you scratch your balls or use the toilet
Hey hey, fast food man
I wonder if you washed your hands
With all the things that you could do
I'm gonna be real nice to you
You cough a little, and rub your nose
You wipe your forehead, and I suppose
If I pissed you off, you could spit on my food
And piss and shit and semen too
Hey hey, fast food man
I wonder if you washed your hands
With all the things that you could do
I'm gonna be real nice to you
From your duly 'admitted' Science-Degree holder,
Remember that mercury has medically & historically
well-known detrimental effects on cognition & volition.
I don't eat fish that have mercury issues, not even as infrequent
snacks. Evergladian reptiles were never on my menu.>
Maybe you can use the buzz from the hit song to ask
Kuthe to engineer a Public Service Ad for those guys
& gals that hunt the snakes and alligators as well.
Like the rest of you, I have not read anything from Kuthe since
GoogleGroups went away. I did see online that he sold *The Cumrag &
Roach* a few years ago.>
I personally won't buy any until Trump changes his tone.
You *should* avoid buying American products when practical, but even
when we get a reasonable government friendly to Canada, you should
probably stick to avoiding our culinary reptiles.>
Then I might but that would likely be after ostrich,
emu, elk, &c and all the other meat you can buy
at the high-end grocery stores already but are
priced ridiculously.
The one time I had it, ostrich was gamey. It had a slightly liverish
flavor. Ick. I like corn finished beef, corn fed chicken, corn fed pork,
corn fed turkey and corn fed duck, and even corn finished lamb.

The middle class pays all of the taxes, does all of the work. The poor
