Earn yourself a bit of extra cash.

Surely that is an indication of where I am now, not where I will end up. In which case, I'd think twice before insulting someone in my position. Yes, I thought so. Quite possibly. Or maybe I have no life because I am dead and in hell (as noted above). Flattery will get you everywhere.

Well, you're right on the money there! Perhaps you don't need a course after all.

Why ff, it appears as though you've got yourself a bit of a stalker! I'd offer up some snaps to this guest for doing some research before posting, but I can't see the point of said research, outside of general stalking reasons. Furthermore, it would appear that your stalker is an idiot, as his/her post doesn't actually make any sense. I suppose that's the best kind of stalker: a dumb one. Then you don't really have to worry about fiendishly clever plans being hatched against you. Just keep your eyes peeled for people sitting on park benches, reading newspapers with eyeholes cut into them.

I really dont care. Just make it so people stop whinging. Your devil-may-care attitude appears to include the use (or lack thereof) of apostrophes. "Dont" and "isnt" are not words. Remember: apostrophes are your friend. [This message has been brought to you in part by the Deathlist: It's not just Entertainment, It's an Education Committee.]

A quick test reveals... You can't use F**k, C**t, sh*t & W**ker (plus some get auto-capitalised for some reason?). You can use bollocks, twat & arse without fear of censorship. And as further reference, a scientific test has also been carried out for your expleting pleasure.

You Passed 8th Grade Math Congratulations, you got 9/10 correct! and You're An Angry Drunk Ever wake up with sore knuckles and a black eye? Thought so. I am stunned by the former (math has never ever ever been my strong point), and horrified by the latter. I am not an angry drunk. I'm a perfectly lovely drunk. I'm just aggresive by nature. [grumbles into empty wine glass]goddam f*cking b*llshit bollocks of a quiz[/grumbles into empty wine glass]

Hippos and Birdies m32! I miss your polls.

Of course, so is Lenin, and he's been dead for yonks.

I've got faith in you, iain! I'm sure you're right. Am already looking forward to the news...

What I shame I am so far away from England on such an important day. How were the celebrations over there? Was there ticker tape and/or bunting in abundance?

Long-ago mentioned interesting-looking talk is now available for our listening pleasure via podcast (you have to scroll down the page a bit).

Another animal I think it might be quite tasty. Along with bat, as discussed earlier in the deadchat. Duly noted. BTW - 'round these parts, squirrel would not qualify as roadkill. If you don't feel the 'bump' as your SUV drives over it, it doesn't count. We're talkin' bear, deer, maybe fox and coyote, etc.

Not according to Moebius. regards, Hein

Are you tasty?

Ah yes. Earnst & Gallo Rosee was a staple of my diet as an undergrad student. I think that pretty much speaks for itself.

I believe that for the first time ever, I can answer this thread title with a resounding YES!:

Ooooh! So when the person for whom you were pet-sitting returned, did you buy another rat and try to pass it off as the original rat?

Oddly enough, I would have thought the skin to be the best part. Though possibly the filthiest. Although if you were keeping him as a pet, perhaps not. Was your pet rat's name "Snack"?

I have never eaten a rat for an impressive or interesting reason, only drunkenly like any normal person. I know not by what standards you quantify "normal", but I personally have never consumed rat whilst inhebriated. If that makes me abnormal, then so be it. To me, normal rat consumption would follow along the lines of: whilst kayaking in deepest [insert your own suitably exotic location here], I dined with the indiginous population. We cooked up such local delicacies as Cream of Rat, Fillet of Locust, and Cockroach Consomme. Much more normal.

I always thought suggesting that dog was consumed in China was a kind of racist slur (hmmm... what does that say about me?). But then a few months ago I was chatting with a friend of mine who is from the Sechwan [sp?!] province of China. He told me that dog meat is, in fact, a relatively common/standard thing to eat of a meal. Apparently dog meat is quite filling, and creates a kind of 'warming' sensation in the body. I'm now quite keen to try it, though I think that if I went to any of the Chinese restaurants here and requested dog meat, I'd be taken for a Health Inspector or something. I ate horse when I went to Sicily. I found it quite tasty - like beef but heavier in the tummy (my tummy, not the horse's tummy). Generally, I am quite keen to try foods that are consumed in other countries/cultures but which are frowned upon in the WASPy West. Having said that, and although I like to think I might have the balls to do it, I'm not sure I could eat bugs or slugs.

Tempus, may I ask under what circumstances you consumed rat? Drunken ones. Oh. How disappointing. I thought there might have been some really impressive and interesting reason for your rat consumption. Oh well...

Since when did "Dead Chat" turn back into "Live Chat"?

Your first sentence implies that members of the forum do not respect Paul Hunter, which is a bit of a leap in terms of assumption. I would guess that most members do respect him, or at least don't not respect him. The fact of the matter is, however, that he is going to die, as we all are. So why not talk about it? As has been (repeatedly) noted above, no one here is wishing him ill, or dead. In fact, he isn't even a DL candidate this year, so unless people have him on their DDP or HDP teams (completely different sites), there isn't any reason for anyone here to wish him dead. The fact that this site appears high on the Google list for Paul is not down to anyone on this forum. We have no control over Google. I know little about how Google works, but I believe I'm right in thinking that the sites with more 'hits' for the searched item appear closer to the top? If that is the case, then if irate guests stop clicking on the DL URL when it appears on Google (and let's face it, the name The DeathList pretty much speaks for itself), coming onto the forum, and posting, maybe the Death List will fall down the Google ladder. Finally, unless you are a member of Paul's family, perhaps you should stop assuming you know how they would feel about this site. Who knows... maybe they're DL members.

Shouldn't this be merged with the 'Deathlist Kitchen' thread? I'd probably eat human flesh if there was reason to... let's be honest, I do hate to miss a meal. I attempted to be vegetarian when I was 14, it lasted for about two weeks. There was a popular expression round these parts many years ago, that a person should be willing to kill and prepare any food they consume. I'd like to think that I could do that, though to date have never had call to. When I worked in the seafood restaurant, though I did not have to kill any of the fish/seafood I prepared, I did have to gut and clean it all. Didn't have a problem doing it. Assumedly there are laws here about eating human flesh, though I don't know for sure. There are laws here about eating roadkill (of the animal variety, I would assume): I believe it is legal to eat roadkill within 24 hours of the animal's death. After that, it's illegal. Tempus, may I ask under what circumstances you consumed rat?
