OT: Dadgummed Man Eatin' Lizards

NDN,
Finally you admit something ,"I'VE" known since DAY ONE!!YOU'RE WARPED! That's why you get along with that EVIL Russ!Glad I ain't like you two!
THE "PURE" SAINT!!
 
See, that lizard is another legitimate reason to keep a large bucket of icewater in the tent. ......
 
That critter is a Uromastyx lizard from the agama family. I want one but they run over $100 around here. They are veggie eaters. So nothing to worry about.
God Bless.

They may not hurt you, BUT they would dayum sure make you hurt yourself!!!!
Can you imagine stepping on one of those in the dark?:eek: :rolleyes:
 
Well, well, well...

Sarge, I reckon that big tail has a lot of fat it.
Render that out and then you can coat up those legs with sumpthin like crushed crackers and have a big "chicken" fry-up. If you like drumsticks that is.:) Don't look like there's much else there, unless you wanna do the gumbo thang.;)

'Course if what you're eatin' now sounds better, then carry on. Especially if there ain't a lot of 'em.

It is a nice looking critter though. (from a nutjob who has a couple of anise swallowtail butterfly chrysalis around just cause it's fun to watch nature work--being stuck in the city warps one).
 
I'll have to pass on seeing how they taste, or how nice a scabbard their hides'll make. I'm not a vegetarian or a "tree hugger", but I do love nature, and avoid harming any critter I don't have to. Scorpions and other dangerous critters are another matter. I kill 'em where I find 'em, as quick and humane as I can. Nothing personal, just looking out for my boys.;)

I have some "tree hugger" friends who think anyone who hunts is a nut job who kills every little animal they see. But then they view anyone who owns a gun as a nut job, and have irrational fear of weaponry of all sorts. Part of the reason I keep all my sharp and pointys in my bedroom. Used to display them in other portions of my house, but my then "tree hugger" roomates kept complaining that they were afraid that somehow the weapons would just leap out and attack them. Not to mention thier opinion of me whenever they happened to just see me handle, just a mere pocket knife, was that I may suddenly freak out and attack em. Even if it was something as mundane as cutting vegetables for dinner. Hell, one of these people is my sister, who one would think would know me better, than to think I would suddenly flip out. Though Im not surprised at thier reactions. I remember in High School health class being handed a pamphlet on the top ten indicators that someone may be abusive. I had expected to see such things, as volatile temper, drinking, history of abuse, overlly aggresive, etc... Instead I saw such bs as "if your boyfriend likes: knives, guns, hunts, watches violent movies, they may be abusive." This was what was being taught in schools before Columbine, I would hate to see what non-sense they are telling young folk now, in this age of Girls Gone Wild, and JackA$$ (that durned stunt show on MTV).
 
Fed,
Ask your SIS & friends,if only bad guys carry weapons etc. WHO will protect them !! Good guys like pointy things also!!

My best camping, hiking, canoeing, buddy, went to Texas A&M as a wildlife ecology major (yup, she's a "tree hugger", last I saw of her she's out in northern California studying spotted owls:rolleyes: ) I told her since she was choosing a career that would involve working outdoors in out of the way places, she needed to learn some field skills. So, I taught her many things, map and compass, firemaking, shelter construction, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

Once, while out on a field study of grasslands, the researchers she was with found themselves needing to open a very tough fabric bag full of grass seeds, and none of them, all grown men, were toting a knife. Much to her credit and my perverse pleasure, this wee 5'4", 110 lb, slip of a girl, strides up with a "tsk, tsk", whips out a razor sharp hunting knife I'd given her, and casually lays that bag of grass seed open like nobody's business. She said they'd pretty much just tolerated her up to that point, being "just a girl", but that afternoon on the way back to camp they let her ride in the front of the truck.:D :D

She was with a truckload of Aggies, thats kind of a scary thing. It probably would have been real entertaining to watch them open a bag of seed without a knife.

I was at a party once, where the husband said " Hey, I've got a great new Aggie joke." His wife defensivly said " Hey, I'm an Aggie". He looked at her for a second and said "OK, I'll tell it real slow".
Everybody was rolling on the floor laughing.
