I hope so; I haven't felt so uncomfortable waiting for closure in a story arc since this.

Is anyone else just all kinds of creeped out by that Roast Beef post?

I mean I figured Ray would just back down at that point, swallowing a live little baby bird and all....
But he did it, and I can see the Ray-style reasoning behind doing it, but all I can think of is a baby bird slowly choking to death inside him.
The 'Death inside you' thing also makes me wonder if we are going to get some crazy korean bbq lunch black magic going on.
Probably not but it feels like it might be leading somewhere, it is Ray after all.

Now that I'm thinking about it, all the waiters and stuff knew what was in that jar, do they do this kind of shit a lot?

Well, to be honest, this is what it is like to heave death inside you. Painful. Traumatic. Yet, also in the vein of getting in touch with one's primal lion.

Theres a fine line between primal lion, what with the hunting and such, and just eating a defenseless baby bird alive that some creepy korean guy gave you.

But hey, its Ray..

I'm just waiting for a post from Pat about this topic, because I'm certain that his freaking out about the entire issue will be hilarious. I hope.

i thought the baby bird thing plus the egg thing was heck of ironic.

About Molly not having an SS card - when the hell did she die?  I don't think this is ever addressed.  She doesn't seem particularly Victorian, but if she died in the 80s or 90s, it seems like there would still be people around who would know her, so maybe she could get an SS #.  Or Ray could get one forged.

A few months ago, in the name of cultural understanding and office politics, I ate two balut.

Exhibit A:

From Destroy All Monsters

Another legendary Filipino snack is called balut. Balut is basically a boiled embryonated duck egg. To make a balut, you must take the gestating duck egg and cover it with layers of hay. Pour warm water over the eggs several times a day. I think the idea is to simulate the warmth of a mama duck's ass sitting on the eggs. After 14 days, the little duck inside should be just about ready. When ready for consumption, the duck embryo should be nearly whole, with legs, bill, feathers, the whole nine yards. I have been around my relatives several times while they ate balut, and never tried it once. Drinking seems to go hand in hand with eating balut, which makes sense because you'd have to be pretty hammered to eat a half-formed boiled embryo. (To see some American dude eating a balut while a bunch of Filipinos laugh, see [Part One] and [Part Two] ).

I can't get these files to work right, but if they work for you, you can understand that I too know what it is like to have death inside of me.  And since it was during work, there was absolutely no alcohol involved.

Why Ben Franklin?

That's just a tad bit choppy.

I'm a little more careful about what I put in my mouth. I know what you're thinking, and you can save it.

Why Ben Franklin?

Ben Franklin is a no-brainer for a pineapple enhancement.

Roast Beef's post is absolutely awesome.
I feel very similar to Ray under those sorts of circumstances. It's not about what you're willing to eat or not. It's about how willing you are to throw up or go to the hospital or get mad screwed up.
Seriously, once you've had booze with a rattlesnake in it, a baby bird doesn't seem all that bad.
I love the Korean Barbeque. Where else can you cook your own chicken Livers while you choke down some rude, raw squid?

As for Philippe maturing to Sugary cereals, I can totally relate. There are tonnes of parents out there who will not let their kid eat any cereal with sugar as the main ingredient. It's very normal for parents not to want their kid to get diabetes at age 8 because of Sugar Bear, or that Coco Puffs Rooster, or the Leprechaun. All I ever had at home was Shreddies, Cheerios, Rice Krispies and Corn Flakes. I went throught my phases with each one of those until Highschool where I discovered the ultimate study snack: Frosted Mini Wheats. I still steer clear of the sugary stuff, occasionally delving into the sugary, Maple Nut Oatmeal Crisp. Mostly it's raisin bran and Special K for me. Philippe has entered a world of profound responsibility.

They should make a live baby bird cereal. Bird Bran!

Ego got it right . . . almost.  you have to have ray's blog in mind when reading RB's.  But what the heck is ironic about it?  Its mystical and awesome!

At first I couldn't tell if Ray's entry just randomly ended or if the RSS feed got cut off again (as tends to happen to me during peak hours). But hey, sleeping pills and alcohol, it's a winning combination!
