Berating About Raw Fish (BARF)

[Uncle Russ]

jureal: I grew up in San Antonio and almost all my buddies were Mexican guys. We would take Yankee visitors to a restaurant downtown called "Casablanca." We had a favorite waiter whom we would pay a buck (don't laugh--it was an hour's wage--) to bring our "guest" a huge table spoon full of chopped jalapenos--the hottest I've ever known, and tell him, "Would you like to sample our San Antonio pickles, Senor?" I suspect it wasn't so much his nose exploding, like with the Wasabi, but more like his tounge curling up and shooting out of his ass like that tapeworm I mentioned up above.

As for the rest of you yahoos, I'm ignoring you. You obviously don't take me seriously.

Argo: I wouldn't compare me in any way with DrShark--that man knows how to fish.

d-a: Years ago, I worked with an ex-para-trooper from World War II--a tall, lean, strong man with pure white hair. I don't know how many combat jumps he had survived. We had a young co-worker named Ted who announced one day he was going sky diving. George sniffed his disapproval and Ted said, "George, don't always be against something you haven't tried." Shortly after that, I suspect Ted had two of what he'd only had one of before.

Russ,

You must have had a boring day at work. God only knows what got you on the "BARF" rampage. Somebody in your building must have dropped the "Sushi" word to many times.

I've probably eaten every animal on earth. Some cooked, some not. My gut has been referred to as "Old Ironside". I'll admit, that Old Ironside is starting to get pit marks inside it. It also makes a lot more noise as it ages. It still feels the need to consume at least one pound of butter, bacon, and some form of lard per week. The lubrication from the grease keeps me regular and all my joints well lubricated. Without the above basic three food groups, I would die in a month.

I've gotten where I like my lard and butter melted. When I was younger, I would grab a stick of butter and just start eating it like an apple. I've only see butter on a menu once in my life. I ordered it. I also don't like raw bacon any more. I like it cooked in a frying pan and then use the bacon grease for my daily three fried over easy eggs. Here's a tip for you fisherman. Dip your feather lures and bucktails in luke warm bacon grease. Not only does it keep your tackle box smelling like breakfast, the fish love it.

You mentioned Casablanca restaurant. Did you mean Casa Blanco? It was on the corner of Guadalupe and Brazos. I have many good memories of that place. My father loved that place. Best Caldo in town. The city now owns the property. Just like every thing they touch, it is now ruined. It's part of the Guadalupe Cultural Art Center which the city pumped over 15 million of our tax dollars into the heart of the west side of town to revitalize it. I might add, the most violent side of town. Drugs, prostitution, public housing, homeless, shooting, stabbings and daily domestic violence. Nothing has changed. The tile is stolen daily, as is the decorative iron works and anything else that they can sell. When the sun sets, the old west side comes out.

As a matter of fact, when Obama came to San Antonio, some city council guys picked the Guadalupe Cultural Center for his speech. Mrbill, God love him, has a business in that horrible area. On that particular day, people were walking for miles to see Obama. He put a sign on his building that day. "The next one mile is what your neighborhood will look like after electing Obama". Most of the white democrats have never visited that part of town often referred to as death row or little Mexico. He told me that most never reached the center as they became scared and turned around.

One more thing on this eating issue. I bet I can think of one thing you eat or dream about eating raw. There is one particular thing that all men talk about eating and loving it. Fact is, you have to eat it raw, it smells, grows yeast and really doesn't taste better with age. It will also give you diseases that will make those big tapeworms look pretty good.

Yep!
I remember a guy who during a training drop thought he was coming down into a river, night drop. He said something about making a water landing and I said I didn't remember a river in the drop zone. His next words were here I go.....Did you know that asphalt roads can glisten like water in starlight?
