I think folks out there ought to know that, while I thoroughly enjoy Farley Mowat's writings and sensibilities, in many parts of Canada he is lovingly referred to as "Hardly Knowit" for his rather apocryphal remarks, and needs to be taken with a healthy dose of salt. He' written some damn fine books, esp Westviking and a sequel to that, just check the facts. So I figure in "Mowatese" frozen horse shit = frozen horse balls.
