Roast Zombie Duck with Mango Salsa

[Moose]

... hold the Mango Salsa.

Perky (http://www.startribune.com/217/story/965516.html) is one tough bird.

The ringneck duck survived being shot and spending two days in a hunter's refrigerator -- and now she's had a close brush with death on a veterinarian's operating table.

I, for one, would like to welcome our new zombie waterfowl overlord.

I smell another campy sequal coming. First "Dawn of the Dead" and "Day of the Dead", and now "Duck of the Dead".

Scene 1: Unsuspecting elderly couple sitting on a park bench feeding the ducks, but today for some reason the ducks don't seem quite right. "Jerry? What's wrong Jerry?" the old man says, as a familar duck approaches. QUACK!

(FYI, any Hollywood talent execs out there, I'm still looking for a job. PM me with your offers ;) ).

when they run out of duck puff for their sequals they could try it with sheeps, "Shorn of the Dead".

That's just ba-a-a-ad.

I smell another campy sequal coming. First "Dawn of the Dead" and "Day of the Dead", and now "Duck of the Dead". Well, following the original pattern it should be "Dusk of the Dead". So you're only off by one letter. ;)

[Maksutov]

Well, at least the folks involved showed the duck some respect by not naming it "Howard". I think "Perky" is a souper name!

"Night of the Living Duck"?Perhaps Perky now knows whether the light goes off or not, and maybe how. Let's find out. Anyone want to place a long-distance duck call?

[Frog march]

you could ring duck a la Orange.


now that is bad.

do you have Orange mobile service in the US?

This is more the way I saw it.

I give you . . . Black Sheep. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0779982/)

An experiment in genetic engineering turns harmless sheep into blood-thirsty killers that terrorize a sprawling New Zealand farm.

Ok... I've seen this story all over the place now. But; I've never seen any of them address the one question I've had.

Why would a duck that was shot by a hunter, and "chilled" by that hunter, end up in a vet's office? Change of heart? Wife? 15min of fame? :think:

Legal reasons, probably. Its one thing to shoot a duck under the auspices of a hunting permit while in the field. Shooting the bird in your kitchen tends to cause problems with the locals.

I would also imagine the local ASPCA might take issue with more manual forms of putting the bird down.

Isn't that what cleavers are for?

Who would have known?

Again; no-one asked...

Maybe the hunter finally realised it was indeed Rabbit season after all. :)

Yeah, that really gets me when I'm channel surfing past Animal Planet and one of those SPCA "animal cop" shows is on and they are crying about some duck or goose (I've seen two of one and three of the other) with an arrow through its neck that was still alive. Its not the effort they go through to save it that annoys me, its their job, its the attitude. "How could someone do this to a helpless animal! (wail, sob)" Ah, they wanted to eat it? And it wouldn't fly into their mouth? The way half of them carry on you'ld think someone was doing this to first graders.

You're completely right.

A complete lack of empathy is what all humans need. Torture for animals all around!

And an arrow -- such a FINE tool it is! It's not like there aren't, say, GUNS around, right? Guns that kill quicker, right? No, you need to use an ARROW.

Fine, then! Why not go back a bit further! Start stabbing it with a rusty fork and wait for lockjaw to kick in. Perfectly humane.

Some people do take the "animals as members of families" thing to disturbing levels.

"How could someone do this to a helpless animal! (wail, sob)"

Don, I'd have been just as upset to see a deliberately injured animal that was let go to suffer. Many, not all, but many people who get into animal rescue actually have no problem with hunters or hunting. I used to hunt and have no objection to responsible hunting.

The very last day I went out was the day I wounded, but failed to kill an animal. We searched for a half-hour, but we never found that partridge. And yeah, if there's an animal out there that can be considered truly helpless, it's a partridge. They don't recognize in the slightest that humans are a hazard to them. I've walked up to within literal arm's reach of one before it hopped off the trail, and being able to do that isn't especially uncommon.

I decided (vowed, really) that I'd never hunt partridge again with a .410. It would be a .22 or nothing, and I would go for nothing less than a headshot. That way, if I missed (and that's rare with a .22), it would be a clean miss and no harm done. A hit would be lethal.

I ended up never having gone hunting again, and I sold all my rifles when the (Canadian) gun registry became mandatory. I couldn't afford the 500+ dollars to register them all. No regrets, though. They were just taking up space.

To say that the problem these people had was with the hunters may be misunderstanding their point of view. I for one would have been upset (furious, actually) at the hunters' incompetence and/or negligence.

I've known some first graders who deserved it. And frankly, I'd rather have a duck running around and pooping all over my house than a 6 year old doing the same. Shoot the kids and promote an avian future!

[davidlpf]

Sounds just ducky too me.

Now Wulfy, If I may defend my statement. There are plenty of instances where the bow is a much more logical tool for harvesting game birds than a gun. Less range is a big one, less shot holes is another. Ever bite down on a piece of steel shot while eating duck? That activates the fastest reflex arc in the human body. Quiet. And beings as how you live in Texas this could be an alien concept, but some folks are legally forbidden to possess firearms. (We have a serious "Nanny-culture" problem out here in California.) Doesn't mean they can't hunt anymore.

No, we've done that one already, haven't we?

If it walks like a duck, and quacks in your refrigerator . . . :D

Of Course!

Seriously. Disney sues day care centers with Mickey et. al. on their walls.
