Thanks man. I really love it.

We get some big ole frogs, too. Too bad I don't care to eat them.
 
wasme said:
Nice workout.

Sweet looking yard... what is in the pond?
Click to expand...

Frogs and Goldfish. The goldfish are only 2-4" because the pond dried out a couple years ago. There has been pretty large koi in there in the past.

Fried frogs legs are legit man. Sorry, that's the southern illinois coming out in me.

I take your word for it. I wouldn't be opposed to trying some though.
 
Awesome leg workout!! Wow! You have a gorgeous yard too!! Love the pond! I wouldn't eat the frogs either! Lol
 
Back is nice and sunburned today. I made it up early even though I really, really wanted to sleep.

They taste like chicken! At least the frog legs I've eaten in the past did. Like tiny little chicken legs lol

I think I will be trying squirrel here soon. Not sure what to expect, I've heard mixed opinions.

Blah!!!! My dad loved squirrel but my mom won't let him eat it. It use to make me barf. I can't even watch animals on TV when I eat.

She won't let him, why?
 
RegisterJr said:
Oooh. So, when I cook one I should definitely NOT cook it inside?
Click to expand...

Lol, nooooooo!!!! And unless you like game-y meat, add tons of herbs and seasoning. The skin is tough also but that may be the way my dad cooked them. When my dad use to hunt them, he'd burn and skinned them before he brought them home. Blah.... Makes my skin crawl just thinking about it. I can picture the boiled head. Ommmmmmg!

Lol, my dad always made stew out of them. :D
 
Really like your yard but the pond rocks. I had a pond at the last house and miss it. Add koi brother! I really found it relaxing to sit and watch them. Oh, killed the legs I see!

Thanks Mark!

I love having coffee sitting on the bridge too.
 
Yuck!!! I can't imagine eating squirrels! That's like eating fancy rats! Gag!!! Lol

Have you ever watched the travel channel's Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmerman? He eats the most disgusting foods ever! Lol
 
wasme said:
Not sure how I'd feel about this lol did you catch them or ?...have you ever eaten alligator/snake? just curious
Click to expand...

We caught them.

Yes, I'm a huge fan of alligator tail. Not so sure I'll ever try snake though.

Awesome job! Always love your extra "wife" grips! Gotta love spell check!!

I have had gator and it was actually pretty good!

DANGIT! Good catch again! Dunno why I miss that every time.

I will say, you ladies have better spelling and more appropriate grammar than most here. I've got to be less lackadaisical.
 
Thomas the weight moved here was inspiring! Great job brother!
 
Frog leg & gator basically taste like chicken (for real) with a slight fishy/aquatic aftertaste. But really similar to chicken thigh, & both are delicious (at least fried, but so are a lot of things battered/fried, so take that fwiw).

Zimmerman once ate some guinea pigs on some island. They looked phenomenal, & I'd like to eat it someday. Guinea pigs are also adorable, & when my aunt had them I could cuddle with them the entire time we'd visit. I could never kill one unless I was starving, but if it's already dead I'd love to eat it lol
 
Ur lifts seem to blow up when I miss a couple days. Good work fool

Don't know how to multi quote so I'll just catch up on a few things

Fancy rats-agree 100%. Wood rats with a bushy tail is always how I looked at them as well. My dad loved eating them. Used to crack the skull and eat the brains. Him and gramps. Yuck. Not me

Had gator but no snake. But I'm in favor of if if tastes like chicken , I'd rather have chicken lol.

Guinea pigs , awfully close to rats too. But I might give it a try.
 
I'd try a guinea pig.

Didn't lift today. I'll definitely get 'back' in tomorrow and arms on Saturday.

Will definitely end my slump here soon.
 
BAM!!

This will help pull me out of my slump:

JimBuick sent me those from his personal stash to log for BPS. What a really good guy!

I have some meal planning to do...
 
Yessir!
 
Awesome!!! Yay! You'll really be ready to kill it now!!!!
 
I'm looking forward to it too. Haven't taken anything in a while.

Creatine, neither. I wonder if that's why my strength/stamina has fallen off a little.

Anyway, going to destroy MD back today. Almost slept in AGAIN, but started to feel guilty... and fat.
 
My Dad used to say: "When you're dead you can sleep all you want, for now let's go!" Go slay some iron!

Bam! It was a good back day! Nothing spectacular, but great pump!

However...

I had some free time: New PR on front squat. 225x1, and my legs are still trashed from Tuesday. I'm getting better at balancing the bar.
 
Strong front squat PR!!! Very nice! Congratulations Thomas.
 
Thanks Mark!
