Say what you want about Putin, but he truly loves Russia.
We do not have his equivalent in America and the chances that we will have one is diminishing every year. The Palins and the Cruzs are only proposing little bandages to cover gaping wounds.
It’s already too late because there does not seem to be anyone contemplating the survival of America.
Strength though diversity. Thanks liberals.
Ah, a glass of Chardonnay and it goes down just fine...
I agree with it. I just doubt Putin ever said it.
I hate sites that do an audio ambush. That said, never had the DM site do that to me. But then I block a lot of stuff with some add-ons to FireFox (the Pale Moon spin-off is what I use now, actually).
Post #35 told me that Snopes says it isn’t so.
I too agree with it and am sorry it’s not true.
Right up there with greasy grimy gopher guts and dirty little birdy feet.
Wouldn’t monkey meat be Haram (forbidden)?
I’ll know just who to thank.
Its those a-holes that need to hear it when the inevitable happens.
I ate monkey meat in Panama while attending Jungle Warfare school. Bought off of a street barbacoa on a Friday night in Colon.
Didn’t know what it was but it sure tasted good. I was the only one in our group that spoke any Spanglish but the Panamanians spoke with a different accent than the messicans I grew up with.
When I finally figured what we had eaten, and made the mistake of telling the others, I almost didn’t make it back to Fort Sherman that night they were so pissed.
I remember reading a few years ago about an underground market for monkey meat in the USA.
I remember the bushmeat vendors from the Lagos marketplace. Little skewers of this or that (usually identifiable!) critter for sale.
I was a little kid and thought they were toys or something. My parents didn’t clear up my misconception until I was a bit older.
The roaches stirfried in peanut oil in those frying pans made from oil drums were another story however.
Of course. We have Africans here too. I’m sure every western country has this.
That is a great story.
When we got to Panama (the Army always flies one overnight) we drew our gear, had breakfast, and then assembled for the course briefing.
We then broke for lunch.
It was quite the ‘al fresco’ affair. We took our six compartment Army issue trays and went through the chow line. Trays of food awaited us. Thought it little odd that each tray had a card with a number and we were told to write these down.
Good grub.
At the end of lunch a senior NCO took stage and asked us if we enjoyed our meal. There was a hearty round of cheers.
Then he asked, for instance, who had some of #33? Many of us raised our hands and he went on to inform us that we had eaten newt eyeballs, or some such.
Got us all over any squeamishness about offal parts.
Everyone loves being a science experiment.
Ugh.
I was a picky child to begin with. And our meat consumption there, other than canned hams imported from Denmark, was pretty much zero. You never knew what you were buying and what it did in its previous life. Crawl, swing from the trees, hop, slither, gallop, pull a cart, chase mice...etc.
And the company and state department extensively educated us about ‘bushmeat’.
I do remember the parrot flocks though. Beautiful country. If you don’t mind disease and plague.

We never ate it. But I remember particularly the skewered bat-kabobs that could be found on the vendor carts. Still with feet and eyes...
Hell, you’re 22 and will never die.
But trust our government? Never again.
Thx. Couldn’t remember what it was. They also were getting some kind of bacterial illness from it.
