I was thinking that there were a lot of silver poles around the room!

Food on plates? now theres an idea!

Just exactly what kind of place were you in?

It was a fast food joint, McDonald's. It was actually a strange thing: they were testing what was a as-yet not existing product called "Chicken McNuggets" (yes THOSE Chicken McNuggets). It was a McD's at the side of Highway 95 and for some reason decided it was a good place to test them. There were reps from McD's and when the lady was handing them to us with our order (along with opinion sheet, samples of all the different sauces to try, etc.) she asked if we wanted plates. "Duh, yeah" should have been my response but I was just a kid at the time.

nah, just pop some in my face next time you see my mouth open...
I liked the McRib myself, but I heard the animal they made them from is extinct now.

Road kill is extinct?

is that possible?

Never! Not as long as there are open roads and a blatant disregard for speed limits.

Reminds me of my favorite story in Weekly World News, back when they actually printed some true "news of the weird" items. They had a story about a woman who pretty much dined exclusively on road kill. A Chicago DJ hunted her down and interviewed her on the air. She explained that she HAD to eat road kill because she'd away on a vacation and when she returned, gypsies had taken over her house. No one would help her remove them, so she had nothing and was reduced to dining on whatever the road provided.

Seriously. She was dead serious. I wonder if no one would help her get rid of the gypsies because no one could see them but her.

Hmm, had she been reading the "Spiderwick" books?

They obviously didn't have a seeing stone!

It was probably Road Kill Beef Jerky.

"The Tasty Treat From The Middle Of The Street."

Not everyone that eats road kill is a toothless hillbilly or crazy.

Open roads......yes. It does not take a blatant disregard for speed limits to make road kill. Case in point. Several years ago I bagged my first deer, with my pickup truck at 40 mph. 5 mph less than the posted speed for that road. I missed the first two that crossed the road, could not avoid the third one. Ended up with 70lbs of venison from that one.

Did the pickup survive?

When I Drove to Alaska, I had a heavy duty "brush" guard put on mine. A friend of mine had taken the same trip a year prior to me, and had managed to hit a moose! Pretty much destroyed the truck (and didn't do the moose much good either!)

He ended up flying home!
