Bear Grylls just lost me!

[Wahoo]

I get off on those survivor shows like Man vs Wild on the Discovery Channel, but tonite Bear Grylls lost me. He was dropped into the backwoods of Alabama to display his survival skills, and I could almost taste the wild boar he'd caught and roasted, but later in the segment he was actually eating deer pellets! GROSS! I don't care if they are nutritious "bush vitamins" of particially digested veggie matter, I'd rather die with my dignity intact than resort to eating deer dung! Yuck!

[ECO]

Odd timing, I had the TV on yesterday and after a couple "Whale War" shows that survival dude was on. I would eat deer pellets in a heartbeat instead of eating a big spider like I saw him do!

BTW, I think that show while entertaining is a load of crap.

[Wahoo]

Like in a load of deer crap?

Actually, as noted in accounts of early explorers in the New World, Indians during the "starving times" ate deer pellets...as well as insects, worms, snakes, cattail roots, and any thing else that might stave off starvation.

So eating the brown stuff that floats in the toilet is nothing new...I could name a lot of politicians and members of congress who do it on a daily basis!

[ECO]

Any pellet the brown stuff that floats in the toilet is good for you! You can eat goat the brown stuff that floats in the toilet, horse the brown stuff that floats in the toilet, sheep the brown stuff that floats in the toilet and the list goes on and on. Those types of animals only digest what they need and leave the good stuff for dogs to eat and well us if we are hungry enough. Since i don't eat meat/fish, I would eat that stuff over eating a snake, cat, dog, possum, crow...... Just imagine some nice chocolate covers pellets warmed up and served with a cup of blue mountain coffee......

[Wahoo]

Or a steaming cup of cat poo coffee..."good to the last dropping"...

I loooooove his show! But sometimes he make me wanna puke. Wahoo, if your lost in the desert would you drink your urine just to survive?

[Wahoo]

Rose, I pray every night before I crawl into bed that I'll never find myself in such reduced circumstances or so intoxicated that I'd drink my own urine.

[ECO]

Urine is actually good for you, don't worry about drinking it.....much better than having to drink man juice over death...................

[Wahoo]

On all those wilderness survival shows, they're always setting up various kinds of solar stills to produce water where there is none. I think it would be fun to get a sheet of plastic and a rock and a cup and some leafy green matter and set up a solar still on my deck. I might not get any water, but it'll give my nosy neighbors something to conjecture and gossip about.

[Wahoo]

I also thought it might be fun to rub a couple of sticks together over a bundle of kindling on my deck to see if I could make fire, but I figured that could backfire and I'd end up burning down my whole apartment complex.

[Wahoo]

That "cat coffee" video gave me an idea for how to make some Jamaica trip money. If I ate lots of coffee cherries and collected and cleaned and packaged my own coffee beans, I could probably sell them at huge profit to rich businessmen who're eager to pay 400 American dollars per kilo. How will they know I didn't squeeze them from a civet cat?

[Wahoo]

What am I thinking? I completely forgot I already have a cat! Well, not a civet cat, but the next best thing. Starting today no more Fancy Feast for her, just lots and lots of coffee cherries...

Me and you both Wahoo. Bear drank his urine he make it seems like he was drinking water. He ate meat from a dead zibra caucus.YUCK! It must have been laying there for days. It amazes me that he's still alive
