Due to the large number of users becoming ill and dying and stuff the management has no choice but to enforce some new rules regarding posting on mudcat:

1) Any member admitted to a hospital ICU from this point on will not be allowed to post messages to this forum for the time they remain in ICU.

2) Any member dying will have their account permanently disabled and will never again be allowed to post on this forum.

I regret to inform you of the new rule changes and I hope your cooperation in this matter will be forth coming. It is our wish that members would refrain from the above behavior as to not require the enforcement of these rules

Sincerely
The Management

Yes, now from time to time one will hear "I wish I was dead" after reading someone's post in the BS section, the law does not apply to them either since that is a normal reaction. Likewise terms like "take me now God" or just shoot me .. again that is a normal response to the BS section and hence exempt

Are deceased members allowed to have proxy posters? We already know what certain members are going to say on certain subjects, so why is it necessary that they be alive to post? If one of them should die, why couldn't someone else post their predictable same-old same-old comments for them?

No, they can continue to contribute, but they will be strictly limited to threads on the following topics only:-

1) What is Folk Music?
2) Muslim men and their attitudes to non-Muslim women.

Rule number three:

Cook your Bones:

"At approximately 1292 degrees Fahrenheit, calcium phosphates begin to fuse together and change in color and shape. While not entirely reduced to ash, modern cremation does an excellent job of vaporizing and deteriorating bone.

Human bones are comprised of a collagen-rich matrix pregnant with calcium phosphate and other minerals. Calcium phosphates are inorganic mineral salts present in the form of tiny crystals, and make up roughly 65 percent of our bone mass.

Most tissue composing the human body begins combustion at 572 F. In cremation, the deceased is exposed to several hours of intense heat ranging between 1400 F and 1800 F, vaporizing all organic matter.

Some portions of the inorganic bone do survive this process, only as chips and re-fused fragments of calcium phosphate. In modern crematories this remaining material is sifted through a specialized processor and ground into a uniform substance similar to powder. This powder constitutes the remains of a body and is primarily cremated bone.""
Bones
After the cremation, only bone fragments remain, which mostly consist of calcium phosphates and minor minerals.

""These fragments represent roughly 3.5% of the original body mass. After the incineration is completed, the bone fragments are swept out of the retort, and the operator uses a pulverizer called a cremulator (also known informally as a crembola) to process them into a consistent powder. The cremulator, is essentially a rotating drum similar to a spindryer, except it is filled with steel ball bearings, whose disturbance powders the weakened bones.""http://www.cremation.co.uk/process.htm

Boils your bones

Now, the reason I raise the above is Jello is mostly made of bones, (and also, if available, connective tissues, organs and sometimes intestines).

Jello, bone up

Marshmallows (yes, even Wagon Wheels) contain: corn syrup, sugar, dextrose, food starch - modified (corn), water, gelatin, tetrasodium pyrophosphate artificial and natural flavor, and artificial color. Gelatin = boiling animal skin, connective tissue, hooves or bones. You'll find gelatin in jelly,jam, gummy candies, Jell-o, ice cream, margarine, cream cheese, low-fat, and margarine and many other foods also contain gelatin.

(Alternatives to gelatin include non-animal sources as agar-agar (a seaweed), carrageenan (Irish Moss), pectin (apples and citrus peel), konjak, and guar gum.

Note the letter in the comments of my last post...Oh well, here it is:

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am CHEF Julius Ojeh Iwegbu, Head Stuart of the Nigeria Hilton Hotel. I have urgent and very confidential culinary proposition for you.

On June 6, 2002, a FOREIGN consultant/farmer with the Nigerian National Agricultural Corporation, Mr. Barry Kelly slaughtered a goat. It's head, valued at $25,000,000,000.00 (TWENTY-FIVE MILLION DOLLARS) is in my freezer.

Upon discovering it, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a few days, we sent a reminder and finwelly we discovered from his contract employers, the Nigerian National Agricultural Corporation that Mr. Barry Kelly died from a tragic goatherding accident.

On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin were fruitless. I therefore made further investigation and discovered Mr. Barry Kelly did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents, including his goat head paperwork in my Freezer. The goat head is still sitting in my Freezer and the meat is being aged. No one will ever come forward to claim it.

According to Nigerian Law, at the expiration of 12 (twelve) months, the goat head will rever to the ownership of the Nigerian Government if nobody applies to claim it.

Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a Foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Mr. Barry Kelly.

This is simple. I will like you to provide immediately your full names and address os that the Attorney will prepare the necessary documents, herbs, spaces, and affadavits, which will put you in place as the next of kin. We shall employ the service of an Attorney for drafting and notarization of the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in your favor for the transfer.

A refrigerator in any part of the world, which you will provide, will then faciliate the transfer of this goat head to you as beneficiary/next of kin. The head will be put into your refrigerator for us to share in the ratio of 70% for me and 25% for you. 5% will be for settling expenses on my part and yours, also for sauce when the goat head arrive your country.

There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the Attorney and my position as the Head Chef guarantees the
successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please reply immediately via the private email address below.

Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction.
Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest
assured that this transaction would be most profitable and delicious for both of us because I shall require your assistance to ingest my share in your country. Awaiting your urgent reply. Via the following email addresses:[e-mail],[e-mail],[e-mail].

Thanks and regards.
CHEF Julius Ojeh Iwegbu.

A red squirrel grabbed it an scampered up to a pine branch to have a munch so I shot the little bushy tailed rat to get my apple back. I felt bad and remembered my old man's golden rule... don't shoot nuthin ya ain't gonna eat. Made a fire, roasted the rat on a stick, took one bite, spit it out and ate the apple. I can still taste the musk. And the robin was just as bad. I finally had to bring myself to take a rabbit... there were lots of rabbits but I just didn't want to kill any... that's a long story.

Maybe Reds are different? In any case, new rule... no red skwerl.

You didn't cook it right. First off, ya gotta take the fur off and the insides out. Just those two will help a lot with the taste. Helps to remove the head, feet, and tail too.

No Gnu, reds are too small, the gray, black and fox are the ones. They were highly prized back home. No kidding they are the best eating meat on the planet ... think of what they feed on ... nuts ... very good ... cook them the same way as rabbit

In NY and in PA you were allowed 6 per day during small game season. My budding Garry and I would go out come back with twelve of them and have a feast .. I am surprised you never did that GNU ... incredible .. Just use your favorite rabbit recipe. Like I said back home in PA that was the thing, far better than any deer you ever had. Leanest meat on the planet, very tender, very sweet taste, incredible actually. I know I know some people are gagging right now but I am telling the truth

Dan... all we had were red squirrels. Never seen a fox or a black one. Never seen a grey one until I went away to uni. And, my fav rabbit recipe is hopping away from me. Had a bad experience. Used to have a snare line and sell em when I was 12 until one day... and I only killed a rabbit once after that. Mum wouldn't allow them in the house so I never ate one execpt over a fire.

Rap... of course ya remove the feet... the claws make fer good toothpicks. And, as far as eatin fir... ah, nevermind.

Never eat the stuff, myself. Good for a lot of things, from 2x4s to coat collars, though.
