OT: DOWN, KITTY
Way off topic, from the It’s The Offseason And We Are So Bored We Will Post Pretty Much Anything RCR Sends Us Department: Louisiana man finds African wildcat in backyard.
He took it water, then slices of American cheese, then pieces of turkey wing.
[...]
He guessed that the cat’s relatively calm demeanor meant it was someone’s pet: “If it had been aggressive, it would have had my butt.”
[...]
“They told me to go back inside because the cat, you know, might have other options,” he said.
Area residents were, of course, unfazed:
Proving once again that Louisiana lives larger than anywhere else in God’s green America, and that we are all poorer for it.

Actually,
I think the fact that they will eat anything that moves in LA makes the critters more timid. I bet that cat is on the grill as I write. Cajun seasoning makes everything taste good or a least the same.

The article does say the man is upset no one ever got back to him to tell him what they did with the cat…

This story is bullshit: if it had REALLY been in Louisiana, the man wouldn’t have taken it american cheese, he would have served it with american cheese.

The comments were the best…the whole thing devolved into a racist commentary, and a commentary on racism. Imagine…people getting belligerent in the comment section of a blog!

Now ya’ll are fixin’ to hurt my feelins. I mean, as a Louisiana native, we love our animals. Then we eat them. It’s not like we strap dynamite about the chests of our firstborn chirren and ask them to explode themselves.

Twenty-two pounds? That’s one serious fucking cat – my two kittens might not add up to that much when they’re fully grown.

@ sb –
Unfortunately, every post that allows comments on nola.com devolves into a racists pissing contest. Two days ago it was all about how Sean Payton and “the man” cut Deuce McAllister because they’re white and Deuce is black. Pretty sure everyone on the team knew Deuce was black before they cut him, but apparently no one minded when he put up the numbers. Anyway, there’s another one of these loose in the Uptown NOLA area. They seem to be gaining in popularity.
Funny this got posted because yesterday someone was telling me about how he had raised an orphaned raccoon back when he was a teenager (the guy, not the raccoon). I told him how my cousin and I found one when we were younger, and about a year later when the ‘coon got bigger and meaner it bit my cousin. That night we had “stew”. Truth is we love all our animals. Some on the grill, some made into sausage, and some cooked low and slow in a dutch oven. There’s not much wastin’ either. We eat everything but the oink.
Cheers!

The culture of LSU fans is to the blogsophere what rap music was to guilty white affluents in the mid 90s: slightly alarming, offensive to most and therefore the new chic thing to pronounce that you’re a fan of, because it makes you feel like less of a pedestrian cracker.

Isn’t the phrase “Drunk Tiger Fans” a little redundant?

Thanks for posting that video – not only did it creep me out, but the “no audio on right channel for the first 2 minutes” made me think my sound system was busted. Cheap ploy to get me to watch the whole video? Damn if it didn’t work…this time.
