Years ago these folks tried to get Fishkill, NY to change its name to FishSave. “Kill” is a Dutch word for stream, I think...as in the Battenkill in Vermont...

Please do not confuse Yankees with PETA...even up here, most of us (regardless of political beliefs) think PETA is a P.I.T.A.

I think the wife wants to have a ham as well. She bought the brine mix and it has sea salt instead of regular salt.

Tofurky sounds like a foot fungus.

Tastes like it too.

These are the same set of morons who wanted the town of Fishkill, New York to change its name not realizing “kill” in Dutch means stream.

Remember reading about PETA sending frozen TOFurkys to a carrier in the Gulf; the sailor's loved it. Launched the TOFurkys off the catapults of the carrier deck into the sea; trying for the greatest range. LOL

Re:

Monty, what the hell have you done... with Valance?

Yeah... where is that scamp?

Well, I keep on killing him... but it never takes--

Bullets won't kill him, Duke... you have to drive a stake through his friggin' heart from behind when his back is turned!

That just great news, Strawn! Now I have to carry a stake... in my pocket next to my bullet!

Stake my shiny metal arse... enough bullets will take down anyone--

You got that... right, Bend!

Y'all keep it down! I'm working off a drunk... 'cause I just realized how much grief I'd have saved us if I just hadn't done... what I done--

Hummmmm... mmmmmm?

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fabulous_Furry_Freak_Brothers

The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers are a trio of underground comic strip characters created by the U.S. artist Gilbert Shelton. The Freak Brothers first appeared in The Rag, an underground newspaper published in Austin, Texas, beginning in May 1968, and were regularly reprinted in underground papers around the United States and in other parts of the world. Their first comic book appearance was in Feds ‘n’ Heads, published by Berkeley's Print Mint in 1968. In 1969 Shelton and three friends from Texas founded Rip Off Press in San Francisco, which took over publication of all subsequent Freak Brothers comix. The first compilation of their adventures, The Collected Adventures of the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers, had its first printing in 1971 and has been continually in print ever since. In addition to underground and college weekly newspapers, new adventures appeared in magazines such as Playboy, High Times, and Rip Off Comix; these too were collected in comic book form. Shelton continued to write the series until 1992, in collaboration with Dave Sheridan (1974–1982) and Paul Mavrides (since 1978). The work enjoys a sizable cult following, and the magazines are widely available in comic stores.

While most underground comix are humorous, the Freak Brothers live a slapstick existence reminiscent of the best silent comedies. Their entire lives rotate around the procurement and enjoyment of recreational drugs, particularly marijuana. None of them have the slightest concern about gainful employment, and the only use for money is to procure some food and lots of drugs without getting “burned” by unscrupulous dealers or busted by the police. Other storylines include "Fat Freddy's Cat" and a military empire of cockroaches in the kitchen. The stories often satirize the establishment and right-wing politics.

Never a dull moment... eh, Valance?
