"SQUIRREL SOUP.

Wash and quarter three or four good sized squirrels; put them on, with a small tablespoonful of salt, directly after breakfast, in a gallon of cold water. Cover the pot close, and set it on the back part of the stove to simmer gently, not boil. Add vegetables just the same as you do in case of other meat soups in the summer season, but especially good will you find corn, Irish potatoes, tomatoes and Lima beans. Strain the soup through a coarse colander when the meat has boiled to shreds, so as to get rid of the squirrels' troublesome little bones. Then return to the pot, and after boiling a while longer, thicken with a piece of butter rubbed in flour. Celery and parsley leaves chopped up are also considered an improvement by many. Toast two slices of bread, cut them into dice one-half inch square, fry them in butter, put them into the bottom of your tureen, and then pour the soup boiling hot upon them. Very good."

(I kid you not. Here's the link: http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/13923)

On which American president was this dish inflicted? I want to know. We don't make the Queen eat such things. Send them to Cthulu, I say. If his alimentary canal can cope with vivaldirules then squirrels should not be a problem. Failing that, Marc seems distressingly carniverous these days.

I would guess Andy Jackson and that he probably enjoyed it.

please feel free to add whatever elements to this insane story you think appropriate, with a few significant exceptions (see below). it's a collective endeavour, thus its utter incoherency.

there are only a few rules (that's right, my avatars, my rules) (which i used to naïvely assume were the sort of implicit, commonly understood bases of civilisation as to forego any necessity of mentioning them explicitly, however for at least the first two i discover i was wrong.) :
Rule 1 : NO spiders.
Rule 2 : NO shrimp.
Rule 3 : NO arachnids whatsoever, really, whether marine or land-locked.
Rule 4 : no harming puppies, kittehs, squirrels, or androids.
Rule 5 : i can add rules whenever i want, but no-one else can.
Rule 6 : there is NO rule 6.

Your enormous yellow lips say "No, no no", but your trapezoidal blue eyes say, "Yes, yes, yes".

how come "no squirrels"?... even if good words for'em?.... :-D

anyway I'll find some inspiration for'em and I'll publicize :-P

This Lounge in fact is a bit "putting on lost-way people" so only one neuron will win!...

no no, you misunderstood : you may include as many squirrels as you like (as if there weren't already enough running wold around here...), but you must be kind to them. that's all. kindness is one of the rules.
