LowerCaseRepublican Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory?id=1505255 In most places, a politician has to kiss babies in order to succeed. Arkansas politicians have to eat raccoon. The small east Arkansas town of Gillett doubles its population on the second weekend of every year as candidates and political junkies gather for its annual Coon Supper. More than 60 years old, the event has become a required stop for anyone seeking or holding political office in Arkansas. Originally started as a fundraiser for high school athletics, it's now the ultimate meet-and-greet for the state's politicians. "If anybody wants to be in the political scene in Arkansas, it's a must to attend the Coon Supper," said Phil English, the master of ceremonies. -- Bill Clinton had to eat raccoon in order to become a major player in Arkansa politics. Seems kind of fitting with the way that most elections have become almost reality TV spectacles in their own right. Soon the merger of "Fear Factor" and the US political election system will be complete! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoodAsGould Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Ive been to Arkansas and most of its small town and crap..... but that town in that dumb Paris Hilton show doesnt represent a lot of Arkansas. They actually have a really good school system besides the small hick towns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not making fun of some guy from Indian for worshiping a cow, I'm finding it gross that a guy from Arkansas ate raccoon. That's freaking gross, no matter how "ignorant" I am for saying it.

And people in India find it gross that you eat beef. Muslims find it gross to even touch a pig, even a damn football. The 'ignorance' is in the comments degrading people because they have a different culture. People that are slightly different from you because they live in the south. You know ... hicks, people from Arkansas, that kind of thing. In fact, I bet most of those people in Arkansas even know that state names should be capitalized.

3E8 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 I would eat raccoon meat just to see how it tastes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 People eat alligator, which lives basically in swamps. People eat snake. Look at a lobster some time, or a crab. Ugly things. Suck the slime out of an oyster. Crawfish. Not everything that people eat come prettily packaged in grocery store. Personally, I've sampled rabbit, squirrel, quail, pheasant, duck, buffalo and black bear. Some things were not to my taste, others were fantastic. I don't know what raccon would taste like, but I wouldn't be afraid to try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3E8 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Buffalo and ostrich burgers taste very good. There are some upsides to eating unorthodox meats. I believe buffalo and ostrich meat is lower in fat and cholesterol than traditional ground beef. The same goes for venison, I'm pretty sure.

Rex Kickass Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 I've eaten all of those you have YAS except squirrel. Also have eaten horse, which was quite good. Had the chance to eat rattle snake but it didn't look good. So I passed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
