83% Cannot Differentiate Between Dogfood & Pate!

In The Far Side, Uncategorized on May 17, 2009 at 11:29 am

The Colbert Report is one of my favorite shows so guess what Stephen finds this early morning am – a survey conducted by the American Association of Wine Economists which reports:

83% Could Not Tell the Difference Between Pate and Dogfood!

The abstract reads:

“In a double-blind test, subjects were presented with unlabeled, blended meat products, one of which was the prepared dogfood.:

Double-blind?

The researchers had no need to blindfold the poor loves – simply serve the “pate” with a cold glass of Buckfast or really push the boat out and try Blue Nun – guaranteed no-one will taste the difference between pate and burnt rubber.

For some reason, Krishnan Guru-Murthy springs to mind as he’s got the weekend off in London and is enjoying chicken curry which fills me with envy – perhaps I’ll try a tin of Caesar on toast but equally imposing upon my consciousness is Eddie Izzard’s yappy dog sketch and “give them a tin of Caesar and maybe they’ll shut the f**k up!”

The most important research result is the conclusion which may now be inferred – dog’s obviously do NOT lick their balls to get rid of the taste of dogfood!

Get a room Fido!

Deadly Snakes in Deadland: Man Bit 11 Times!

Carl Barden is an acquaintance of mine through a fellow reprobate refugee from the North of England making Florida home.

I met Carl a few times when he was flying for a living and had no knowledge of his snake fascination until Neil (my fellow Brit) told me of it – I was in DeLand (locally known as Deadland) a month ago and missed the opportunity to go see Carl and the delectable Denise at their new facility, so with a degree of surprise I came across this on YouTube which was originally published in the Daytona News Journal.
