Tastes just like chicken!

So, why not just have chicken? . . .

Because that's just to mundane. It's much cooler to tell people, "Yeah, I ate an alligator."

Can't say I've ever tried alligator, but I did eat some crocodile when I was in Africa. And yes, it tasted just like chicken, but I don't get the same satisfaction about bragging, "Yeah, I ate chicken." Any nitwit with five bucks can get chicken at a KFC drive-thru. No, I ate crocodile. Me, man. I got hair on chest. *nodding*

You know, I sorta felt the same way when I ate Monkey. Then I brought out some old VHS's and saw my collection of "Lancelot Linnk, Secret Chimp" shows and felt bad.

I figured out who the owner is and wrote to her, but she never responded and she hasn't logged onto AQ since November.

Would it be a bad idea to list the box name and/or the owner's trail name here? Perhaps another boxer might know the owner and can offer some insight to the situation? Also ... isn't there a way to "lay claim" to boxes known to be abandoned?

I had some alligator ( or so it was sold as alligator) at the Taste of Tacoma a few years ago. It was fried,seasoned, and shish ke-bobbed. It was ok tasting. The eel I tried one time at a Chinese restaurant was really greasy. Won't have that again.

There is a difference between the freshwater eel and the salt water eel. (and I always forget which one I prefer--so I end up getting one of each and I hate one and like the other and then I immediately forget which is which again!!) So you might give it a try another time.

Chimps are apes not monkeys. Have you never see *Planet of the Apes*? :)

The time I ate alligater it tasted like chicken that had been fried in the same grease as fish.

Just my culinary inclusion.

Both of them fling poo and look funny. I know it's not real PC to make monkeys dance and act up and smoke cigarettes and such, but still...

Monkeys are funny. Chimps are funny. Gorillas are funny. Humans are funny.

Mr. Yuk, just one more primate in the cage.

Email any of the Louisiana letterboxers next time you go to check on your New Orleans box, and we'll be sure to get you some blackened alligator at a local seafood restaurant.

Or . . . you can take a swamp tour and possibly feed some yourself . . . not yourself to them, of course . . .

Tis true, Ryan, that I can go get chicken at KFC and I don't brag about it (quite the contrary, I don't want to admit it!)

But see, the difference between you and me is I don't WANT hair on my chest! Just my preference . . . *grin*

If men wanted women with hairy chests, we'd be dating apes. ;o)

On behalf of men everywhere, we much prefer you not growing hair on your chest. *nodding* =)
