There is a book our called, "How to Win Friends and Influence People" maybe you could find time to read it, then use it to start the BBQ and I will be first in line!!!! Wonder if you "gut" them like my Daddy taught me too! Works like a charm, if you do it right!

Hope you all are dried out by that time! I think about you every time I turn on the TV and see all the reports about the flooding!

Love ya,

Virginia

Virginia,

Oh my what a messy subject you bring up [-X ,
But this old paratrooper can get the jog done with no mess no fuss.

First after putting them to sleep (bang) I skin them head to toe starting in the middle of the belly. Being careful not to leave loose fur a flying. Remove the feet, head, and with one cut open them up and all falls out.

Believe it or not the Army show me how during survival school. ..OO..

That's the way my dad taught me to skin them also. Like removing a shirt and pants. Then when you get to the paws, snip 'em off with the 'shirt and pants' still attached.

Hi Hon
Nothing better than someone throwing themselves under the bus. I would never do that. That's just not right. I buy them already dead from La Molisano here in Waterbury. I do have some standards though not many.
You rock Carol Ann! "Never underestimate an old printer!" You make me laugh Beautiful! Love ya Hon!

Love
Jeannie

PS You relax tonight while I go down the shop and washup three presses.

I find it rather disturbing, how casually you'all speak of slicing open and disembowelling cute, helpless baby bunnies.

OTOH, the barbecued rabbit sounds damn' tasty. :twisted:

I hear you
It always funny when people who are appalled at the conditions in slaughter houses and fur manufacters and eat meat. They are the same people who watch The Daily Show and think it's the real news and that meat is born in shrink wraped packages with bar codes.
They buy their kid a glove for little league and think it came from a baseball glove tree. People are great Violet especially the ones who live in LaLa land.I have to run. I'm watching the political news and they are going to reveal if Hillary wears boxers or briefs under here pant suits. This will definately affect my vote.
I was very disappointed that Senator Obama couldn't bowl. I thought he had a bit of Polish blood in him. Wrong again.
If any of you Polish people are offended,just leave a message on my toll free number... 1 800 DOICARE?
Hugs ladies. I have to go on Inkednation.com. I'm in trouble again for opening my big mouth. Those tattooed people have no sense of humor Virginia. I Love it!

Love
Auntie Jeannie,Menace to society.

Well, ladies, decorum prevents me from describing how my Daddy use to prepare "bunnies" but I will PM Carol Ann. I have done it a couple of times and it does work, but my dad was a master at it and well, moving right along!

Girls just being girls!!!!

Love ya all,

Virginia

Oh, Carol Ann, I'm looking forward to having some grilled rabbit for dinner and tossing back some Guinness; of course, red or white wine will be just fine, too!

Grilled Rabbit . . . tastes like Chicken . . . Mmm mmmmmm, good!! :mrgreen:

Hope you're keeping high and dry, girlfriend!!

*Hugs*

Oh I have no illusions as to where my meat comes from. (Also I pay good money not to have to see it happen.) My proposed solution: genetically engineer muscle tissue that grows sans cow. (Why that's right, as a matter of fact, I *am* a Technoprogressive! What clued you in?) Cows - what a waste of brains and bones.

Apologies to all you girls who do but you'll have to add my name to the 'Fluffy Bunny Huggers Society', I couldn't eat rabbit even if I can get it shrink wrapped from Sainsburys.
With respect
