Suppose we’ll have to make do with lamb this year.

This is disturbing:
Pangolins, sometimes called scaly anteaters, are covered with protective horny,
overlapping scales.
Pangolins have small heads and long, broad tails.
Pangolins are nocturnal and remain in their burrows during the day. All pangolins are able to roll
themselves into a ball to defend themselves, and it takes considerable force to unroll them.

They are being imported through Malaysia. I blame Obama.
Mmmmmm. Toss another pango on the barbie, will you, love?
Does eating pango cause extra-large erections or anything? I mean, usually, eating exotic stuff is linked to sexual prowess, you know?
And pango-prick is so alliterative.
I’d be wary of letting that thing get anywhere near my face.
Wild…
It kinda looks like Jeff’s armadillo mascot…
I wonder whether the “save the earthers” who also cop to “multiculturalism” in their politics get the willies when confronted with stories like this? It’s almost as if the do-gooders slap an “endangered species” label on some critter (chimps, gorillas, pangolins, whales, etc) and the local types that used to consume them occasionally immediately ramp-up to an industrial scale, going out of their way to rid the earth of the thing as fast as possible.
No no no, we ordered PENGUINS. P-E-N-G-R-I Oh fuck it.
OK, OK…my translation skills are once morerequired.
“Pangolin”: Vietnamese for “oddly pale armadillo“
ohdeargod whatthehellISthatthing???
To be honest, I’ve been fed up with the fucking Asian proclivity to eat anything that moves, for a long time. Get over it, assholes! It’s not like you need any more people. Stick to cows. Stupid fucks.
As with panda-milking, I would have been happier never even knowing of the existence of those things.
Better Half is not going to be happy. Not. At. All.
Stuck with lamb? Not necessarily. Make an offer on twenty pounds of spotted owl.
That looks like more than one. And, frankly, they seem to be having sex together or something.
All kidding aside, I received mine a couple of weeks ago, before the government closed in. Bon appetit!
I had no idea these rare albino armadillo dragons that sleep all day existed, and now I’m fucking irate that a 5 ton heap of them was found going to Vietnam. Don’t they have enough weird shit to eat in that jungle already?
Man. That’s just gross as shit. How does anyone look at thing and think of eating it? Don’t they have bats or buzzards or maggots to eat over there? Hell, cats look appetizing by comparison.
