blacksmithcrm Posted June 15, 2006 #251 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Karie - I've never been to a Volunteers football game, but saw them play basketball several time in Rupp Arena years ago. Alas, I can't recall that I ever saw a "Smokey" though. I understand that Tennessee is a lovely place to be from! ...And for the that poor fox with the True Religion jeans, norovirus and white diner jacket, I guess he's out of luck. I am a member of PETA (People for Eating Tasty Animals), I just wish their was a good receipe for the beast. I also feel that we'll need a good receipe for Lawyers (Barristers) as well. Although, if one is not available, SFT, Jonners and their cohorts should feel free to continue to practice their pursuit. (What carries a briefcase and looks great in Brown and Black? - A Lawyer covered in dobermans.) Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slow Foxtrot Posted June 15, 2006 #252 Share Posted June 15, 2006 ... Do "the hunt" in a minefield and I'll be impressed. Do it in the open country and you've got a pointless slaughter that demeans the hunter and the hunted. Sorry gents, no honor or glory in that. UNLESS, of course, the fox is wearing jeans and attempting to board. Then by all means blast away! " Sorry Blacksmith old boy, not taking the bait! This subject has been discussed 'ad nauseum' in the British Press, mostly by people who have absolutely no idea what they are talking about. That nice Mr Blair and his so-called government recently passed a law which banned hunting with hounds. I must say that it's had next to no effect, as he found that country-dwellers were not the pushover he expected. Still, it gave him a brief diversion from blowing up half the world, along with Wild Bill Bush and his vigilantes. We live in hope that one day Messrs Blair and Bush will turn their attention to serious miscreants such as those highly subversive people who wear jeans aboard Cunard ships" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slow Foxtrot Posted June 15, 2006 #253 Share Posted June 15, 2006 ........SFT, Jonners and their cohorts should feel free to continue to practice their pursuit. "Well, how very nice of you Blacksmith to offer your support. Most Americans manage to see sense eventually. Jonquil Carruthers suggests that we present you with our next 'brush'. Did you know they can be used in a stew? .. rather like oxtail soup. Not for the faint-hearted but could be good homeopathy against the nobo-virus" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnhmrk Posted June 15, 2006 #254 Share Posted June 15, 2006 I just wish their was a good recipe for the beast. I love a challenge - I've hunted high and low and not found any recipe. All I can find is the Larousse Gastronomique that says "FOX, Renard - Animal ranking as vermin. Its flesh is very tough and with an extremely unpleasant 'wild' taste, but it is sometimes eaten after the animal has been skinned and the flesh soaked in running or boiling water". Alternatively: Did you know they can be used in a stew? .. rather like oxtail soup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stugots Posted June 16, 2006 #256 Share Posted June 16, 2006 We just completed westbound 29 May to 4 June. I believe about 50% Brits or other Europeans, maybe more. I saw more jeans during the day than I could believe. My wife and I were not shocked, but somewhat surprised. The evenings however were dressy and quite enjoyable. I guess it is good to "live and let live" but a lot of folks were dressed down in the daytime. Still it was one of the most enjoyable 6 days I have ever spent. Thanks, Cunard and QM2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Well sir, Jonquil Carruthers tells me that Mr Reynard should first be de-loused and then gently simmered in a cauldron over a slow-burning fire of hop manure. Cooking time is seldom less then 90 minutes. The finished article should then be served in generous portions to politicians and people who wear jeans aboard Cunard" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
