The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for February 28, 2009

Can I try?

One little bite is all I ask. If you don’t like it, then go to bed hungry. Fledgelings are starving in Australia.

I’ll try anything once.

How did that song go, “Greasy, grimy gopher guts…”?

‘Great big gobs of greasy, grimey gopher guts, dirty little birdies’s feet, mutilated monkey meat_- Great big gobs of greasy grimey gopher guts, eat ‘em with a spoon, yum-yum!’

Thank You, was there not also “chopped off heads or hands ” in there? I never can remember the recipe properly.

Speaking as an Australian (okay - not a fledgling, and alright, not starving - just had sweet and sour fish for dinner) he can tell he doesn’t liken’t like them ‘cos he wants DEEP FRIED flattened possum guts!

Sail Possum, please. Not flattened.

Are they sure the possum’s really dead and not just playin’ possum?

The version I learned was “Great green gobs of greasy grimy gopher guts, mutilated monkey meat, eyeballs rolling down the street, jars and jars of all-purpose porpoise pus, that’s what we had for lunch!”

typical kid .. never want to try any thing different
