Has anyone heard about the Australian delicacy that is the bum of a Green Ant?
The little golden rear is filled with a honey like substance and apparently quite nutritious. The Aborigines have used them as a food source for centuries.
Downside is if you're starving in the outback and all you have to eat is green ants, you will probably starve to death before you can eat enough of their bums to fill you up.
That and they're liable to sting you. Yay me for having developed an immunity to their stings I suppose.

Are those the ones that hang upside-down from the ceilings of their tunnels and produce juice for their colony?
Or do all the ants of this species just happen to taste that way?

Oh yeah, how could I forget frogs? I used to live on a lake and people would go frog gigging at night--sometimes on my property. I don't know if they actually ate what they caught, but I would hope so. After a while we barely heard any froggies at night. 
As for ostrich, where in the states do you eat ostrich?

I didn't realize ostrich wasn't common all over. There are lots of Ostrich farms in Missouri, Kansas, and Colorado, though it seems like they are raised more for meat in Colorado, and feathers in Missouri.
Seen some Emu farms too, but never found any for munching.

No, I've never seen ostrich meat served anywhere! Now I've lived in the South for eleven years, so I know it's not really served here, but I haven't spent much time out west. I've spent a couple weeks in Wyoming, but the only "other" meat I saw out there was buffalo, rabbits, etc. Never in my life have I seen ostrich meat....

I think of it more as a "What character will M79 be photographed next to next?" thread.

I have to show off my baby. Here he is at my older son's b-day party over the weekend...
I just think this pic of my baby and my Grams is funny
Birthday boy in the bag...
Another of my "hair" pics...
Uh, no candles...

Well if I can't upload the pic I'll post it this way:
Edit: Oh yeah, also had Elk up here, which was really good the first time I had it, and really bad the second time - I guess that can happen with any food though. Oddly enough though, in all the time I lived in Missouri, I never touched Venison. Surprising in a state where a large portion of the male population keeps a store of deer parts in their freezer.

It's amazing how many people forget to take the plastic off before putting one in the microwave.

I took it out of the package not too long ago.
It'll take while before he's no longer C-10. I don't play with my toys the way I used to as a kid.

Certainly a lot different to when Uncle Burnie saw me.
This was two weeks ago at a friend's 21st birthday. Best part was, her and my best friend bought me the jumper I am holding that same night as a surprise for when I arrived. It's a massive Decepticons hoodie. They rule.

Think for yourself, don't let the magic TV box and social media do the thinking for you.
Question EVERYTHING!!
Just because you have a youtube review channel doesn't make you special.
I look forward to attending a Botcon soon only to settle matters with several idiots in person (yes this is a threat).

I'm already gearing up for Halloween, in which I'll be participating as a monster in a haunted house. I was originally going to include a dreadlock wig and a blood-soaked apron over a wifebeater, but I like this look even better.
