About this post ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ It is crossposted to three groups for the following reasons: 1. alt.ascii-art since that's where it all started, though I feel that it is time to move it to a more appropriate group. 2. alt.animals.felines because I don't have the cooking and slaughtering know-how needed to respond to the details of the post quoted below. Also, because I'm a little bit worried that somebody might take his "recipe" seriously. WARNING! Weak-stomached cat lovers might not want to read further! 3. alt.romath where flame wars are actually on-topic. This is also one of the groups where I'm setting follow-ups. The reason that I include a couple of other groups in the follow-ups is that they are similar to alt.romath, and it's considered "good form" in those three groups to crosspost interesting threads to each other. Followups are set to alt.romath, alt.alien.vampire.flonk.flonk.flonk and alt.fan.karl-malden.nose. Please keep any followups to this post out of alt.ascii-art and alt.animals.felines. If you can't crosspost for some reason, please post your follow-up to alt.romath. If your server doesn't keep the group alt.romath you can access it through http://www.deja.com/ Yes I am trying to get some cat people into this. I guess that could be considered trolling. Please forgive me for that. What I really want is for this discussion to move over to alt.romath, and I also want some of JRO's statements in his "recipe" to be challenged by knowledgeable people. A little background for the cat people and the Romathians ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ What you see quoted below is the latest trolling attempt by a poster in alt.ascii-art who got himself into a little flame war with me during the past few days. Those of you who are interested in such things can enjoy it at Deja: http://www.deja.com/=dnc/[ST_rn=ps]/viewthread.xp?search=thread&recnum=%3c8404ni$bve$1...@nnrp1.deja.com%3e%231/6&AN=564544280&svcclass=dnserver&frpage=getdoc.xp I get the distinct impression that JRO wants a fight, but he has so far refused my invitations to come over to alt.romath and join the flaming fun there.

How to make Tamales...
A recipie.
How long has it been, since you had a
rich, steaming plate of tamales? Remember
how delicious tamales are? NO ONE can resist
a well-garnished plate of REAL tamales, after
all.
Well, no longer will you have to wait
around until you can afford to visit an
expensive restraunt which serves such a
delicasy. I'll share with you the easy
recipie for making your own REAL TAMALES,
right at home!
The first thing you need, is some real
tamale meat. Some folks will tell you to
use beef, or chicken - this is a mistake!
RULE ONE - you can't make a REAL tamale,
without catmeat. Cat; it's the
"other" red meat.
This is how to obtain fine tamale meats:

A good-sized adult cat, when skinned out, should
have enough meat on it's bones to make a six or eight
tamales. Smaller cats and the immature kittens (often
sought for their tenderness), won't yield quite as much
meat, so adjust the number you will need, accordingly.
Maybe you have a commerical source of pre-packaged cat.
Let me suggest, however, that you kill and butcher your
own. Skinning cat isn't as much of an ordeal as you may
think. First, lop off the head, and discard it. It contains
no usable meat, and the brain of a cat is too small to bother
with. Believe me, it would take many, many cats, just to
make a small pan of brains and eggs!

You may then make a longitudal incision on the cat's
abdomen. Reach into the body cavity, and remove all of the
internal organs. Discard them; especially the liver,
which is frequently toxic in domestic cats. In any event,
it is quite inedible. There are no organ meats in cat.
The Swedish make a practice of eating cat genitalia, and
although they may relish these portions, I would not
suggest you try it. Mad Cat Disease has definately been
linked to the eating of cat reproductive organs.

At this point, you can now "skin" the meat. This is
accomplished by grabbing the loose skin around where the
head was removed, and pulling it back. Use a pair of pliers,
if necessary, but try not to resort to using a knife in
places where you have trouble. With a little practice, you
should be able to peel the cat's skin back, and continue the
process until you have rolled it completely off the body.

|�� |�� ; � �| | you'll agree that it IS the best method.
| | : | |
Now that you have your cat skinned, gutted, and trimmed of
extraneous limbs and the head, it's time to wash the meat. If
you skinned the cat properly, there should be no hair remaining
on the meat. Nevertheless, you should wash it carefully, to make
sure there are no stray hairs.
For best results you should soak your cat in salt water, for
at least an hour. If you have guests coming and are pressed for
time, you can skip over this step. If you add a little extra
seasoning to your cat in the cooking process, even a true
connosiuer shouldn't be able to recognize that you skipped over
the soaking process.

What I really want is : for this discussion to move over to alt.romath, and I also want some of : JRO's statements in his "recipe" to be challenged by knowledgeable : people. : A little background for the cat people and the Romathians : ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ : What you see quoted below is the latest trolling attempt by a poster in : alt.ascii-art who got himself into a little flame war with me during the : past few days. Those of you who are interested in such things can enjoy : it at Deja: : http://www.deja.com/=dnc/[ST_rn=ps]/viewthread.xp?search=thread&recnum=%3c8404ni$bve$1...@nnrp1.deja.com%3e%231/6&AN=564544280&svcclass=dnserver&frpage=getdoc.xp : I get the distinct impression that JRO wants a fight, but he has so far : refused my invitations to come over to alt.romath and join the flaming : fun there. The only thing wrong with it is that it doesn't look like the instructions are correct, and he's advocating theft.

"Cat burgle", do you imply? Why, stealing cats isn't a crime; it's a publick service. The pubic needs servicing, and I do all I can to keep it serviced. As to my recipe... There's nothing wrong with it. Try searching for other great cat recipes, if you wish to investigate. I warn you, however, that the recipe for TRUE tamales has been kept a closely guarded secret, until I have now divulged it, for all the world to know and enjoy. JRO

I couldn't care less what they think, but you are deliberately taking one of his posts (which had nothing to do with you) and took it to some groups where you think you might get some support in your argument with JRO since you clearly don't get enough support in this group. So again: grow up! >You, on the other hand, are >re-directing this discussion back into a group where several people have >stated that they would like to see it go elsewhere... It started here and it should stay here until it's sorted out or until either of you get tired of it and stop this shit. I see no reason to take your stupid little arguement all over Usenet. What's next, an "i hate JRO" page? -- Peter Punk \ / ---\\\\--- / \ Old mail has arrived.

Sure! > and took it to some groups where you > think you might get some support in your argument with JRO Why not take a look there. The people who have posted so far agree with him, not me. That's a group of highly individual people (trolls) who don't obey anybody. They love verbal fights. One said he'd printed JRO's recipe and was putting it on his wall! The cat people have completely ignored it. That's all fine with me. > since you clearly > don't get enough support in this group. That's not quite the impression I've got. > So again: grow up! > Again: *You* grow up! > >You, on the other hand, are > >re-directing this discussion back into a group where several people have > >stated that they would like to see it go elsewhere... > > It started here and it should stay here until it's sorted out or until either of > you get tired of it and stop this shit. I see no reason to take your stupid > little arguement all over Usenet. Even when half the people in the group are complaining loudly and saying things like "Please, move this discussion elsewhere"?!? Moving discussions to more appropriate groups is a perfectly normal thing to do. It is not much different to moving discussions to email - except it's still "official" and anybody who wants to can join in. > What's next, an "i hate JRO" page? I already did an "I love JRO's cartoons" page. I then handed it over to him. He did a few changes and a lot of updates to it (you can't recognise it now, compared to when it was new - it's all his now!). I do not regret that either. -- (, http://www.ludd.luth.se/~vk/cgi/asciichat/ /|__--__ . __--__ |\ '__ /|\ _{ _ `.' / `.,_ _________ | _________ _,.' (/ `. / ||``._.'

Sick, in a wonderful sort of way.
But your author has it wrong - the third world is the place
where any idiot can, and often does, own a gun. Some even carry them as
a mark of their barbarity.
