i've had deer.
>.<
poor bambi.


TBH, I think deer doesn't quite quailfy as exotic, I have that all the time. But that's just me...

I've had moose and caribou.

Same with moose.

Though, credit for the caribou, that's new to me...
I'll have to try it one day.

scorpions, cuttlefish, goat eyes, snakes, many types of grubs, large spiders, armadillo, crows, things I did not know, and things which I have forgotten.


So far, you take the cake.

I've had chocalate covered crickets.
Oh, and like, candy ants (ants in this little jolly rancher style candy).
Forgot those, thanks for reminding me.
Grubs are good though, I had those when I was in the Air Force

I thought for sure we were gonna get "exotic" jokes in here of the human flesh variety

guess that's just my mentalitydevil on the naughty side

*******************************************************************

ya, anyway I pretty much stop at venison- that I am tired of by now-have had rabbit in stew and shark once

not a big meat eater overall


I was with you on that...

I was told to create my own thread for this...
And tbh, I wanna see what people have to say.
So post up the most exotic meats you've had.

Mine are gator, nurse shark, and python. I've had squirrel and rabbit also, but that's not exotic to me personally.

Can someone give me any pointers on how to do smileys in the forums?
I have only thus far found how to do so in messages, and if I have to copy and paste, that seems a tad lame.

Any other quick tips for getting a little better at posting here is definitely welcome and appreciated as well :]

Thanks in advance everyone!

Just think maybe one day all that money will add up and you can have free health care like we Canadians do. laugh


I'm all for free health care, but then again, I'm also a socialist.

I don't have a Linux live CD. And I'm assuming obtaining one would be expensive. I'm looking for cost effective ways to solve the problem (ideally ways in which I do not have to spend a cent).

The repairman apparently (temporarily) addressed the problem when I sent it off, any ideas on how I could replicate his work?


That is the stupidist thing I've heard.

If you can get on this site, you can look up what Linux is, and clearly see it's free (in most cases).

The other stupid part, is this:
Why on Earth would you want to replicate what was clearly a hack job (if you read the thread you'll see why I say hack job), rather than actually adressing the cause of the issue and fixing it properly?

(My inner geek wants to go killface on this guy, scream at him til he cries and then fix his issue, possibly by replacing Windows w/ Linux)

A woman said "I dont own a toaster because toasters kill more people every year than sharks do" Have you heard anything you would like to share? I would like to hear it.


That's ridiculous. If that was true, "Jaws" would have been a toaster.
yes and we'd all plug sharks into kitchen wall sockets



mmmmmmmm, fried shark, sounds yummy!


I have actually had shark steaks, but felt kinda guilty - oddly enough - they were pretty good


Seems like it would be from what I've heard, but I've only ever had the meat from a nurse shark, I want something like a hammerhead, great white, tiger, or bull shark; They seem like they'd tase better than the nurse did.

Gator is good too though, although this is highly off topic, sorry.

You could try running a Linux Live CD and see if you can get access to your hard drive from that

LiveCD's are free, you just need a working computer that has a working unternet connection and a working CD drive...

His way of "adressing" the problem, was probably some piece of **** hack job, hence why it didn't fully adress the cause, and only temporarily and intermittently.

The Linux way of backing up your files, and a doing full re-install of the OS would be a good start; If it continues, I can probably assist you more, but I would need to see log files from the OS itself, or logs from the Linux LiveCd (Linux logs tend to provide more useable information). Good luck.

Oh, dumbest thing I heard today...

Customer - "My ISP said it's not an issue on their end, they can see the modem just fine."
Me - "Did they do a valid ping test?"
Customer - "Well, IDK, but my ISP would never lie to me."
Me - "Ok, well from my end, I can't see your modem, if I try to ping it, it says 'destination unreachable' indicating an issue with your connection."
Customer - "I JUST told you, my ISP would never lie to me, you MUST be doing something wrong" *mumbles* "stupid kid" *click*

he is lucky if the ISP service end really even looked


Oh, I know. Their ISP is AT&T... They always have our customers reset their routers, perform hard shutdowns of their computers, etc... Stuff that is very VERY bad to do to our equipment...

I talked to one of the owners of that restaurant, and explained everything to him, he is a bit more tech savvy than the manager I had spoke with. He knew exactly what I was talking about, and he knows his static IP, and when he saw he couldn't ping it, we did a 3-way call and we both layed into the AT&T tech when he said "Like the last tech said, we can ping the modem, it's nothing on our end, it must be because you are using linux."

Morons are breeding at an increasingly fast rate, and it scares the **** outta me sometimes.

lets see,on my mothers side of the family we have 10 generations of history in this state

i can't stand seeing "long walks on the beach" cause well i've seen and walked alot of beaches,

surfin on the gulf side of florida sucks

native born floridians are very rare

our new state motto should be "home of the newly wed and barely dead"


I'm like 45 mins south of you...

I agree with all of the above.

I've got idk how many generations, but I know during the slavery period, my relatives had plantations.

I'm full blooded Floridian born and raised.

Surf on either coast is suckish, the East coast is just better SOMETIMES, and usually when we are about to get the **** kicked out of us by a hurricane.

Dirtbike terrain in FL, is deff the best I've come across, we have some of the most amazing supercross tracks I've seen in the nation.

"Who's gunna be murdered now, *****?!"

heh...

I believed all people were good deep down, that this planet was an inherently safe place, and that all meat came from animals that weren't tortured
