I eat meat shapes.

[NoSheep]

[CoffeeCat]

1. Are you talking about those...

...chicken nuggets shaped like dinosaurs?

My kids dig those.

[NoSheep]

3. Exactly! You nailed it. And Chuckwagon. I've had that on a bun.

[CoffeeCat]

12. Isn't Chuckwagon...a dog food?

I swear I remember a commercial about "Chuckwagon", with the little train causing the
dog to bark.

You're eating that on a bun?

Those dino nuggets are good on a bun...but you have to rearrange them several times to find
the right fit on the bun.

[NoSheep]

16. Ha! Well, here's the story of the Chuckwagon:

I was starving some 20 odd yrs ago when I came upon a Tasty Freeze in Asheville NC. I wanted something like beef, and I didn't want a hotdog or a poor excuse for a hamburger. So I saw this thing they had on the menu. Chuckwagon. I asked what it was. The counter lady reached into the cooler and held up what I could only call a meat shape. Clearly, she couldn't call it at all. Had to give me the visual. That shit's been funny to me for 20 yrs and it just gets worse with McRib etc...

[CoffeeCat]

25. That reminds me of the lady at the movie theater...

OH, this cracks me up...

The woman working the concession stand at the theater asked us if we wanted "golden" on our popcorn.

Apparently, they were forced to quit calling that warm, liquid oil "butter"--because it wasn't butter. So,
this poor woman was forced to perplex and boggle movie-goers by asking them if they wanted "golden" on
their popcorn!

My brother (the biggest smartARSE ever to exist) says, "Golden? Golden what? Golden retriever? Golden
cuff links? What??"

Oh, that poor woman. I think she quit that day.

[NoSheep]

28. Great story! It's sad and funny at the same time. I'd have busted a gut

personally!

[Catherine Vincent]

39. LOL!

He could have also said "Golden showers? what?" :evilgrin:

[CoffeeCat]

42. LOL!

From the look on that poor woman's face---she had heard it all!

She probably heard "golden showers" many times.

She looked as if she lost her sense of humor many miles ago.

[kenny blankenship]

86. that stuff whatever it is smells horrible

like a gas station bathroom visited by a someone who likes Indian food, but who shouldn't eat it.

[radwriter0555]

7. We were never fans of ground up chicken butts fortified with fillers and wood pulp...

My kid would never eat em!

And she was even fussy about her fish sticks as an infant.. but give her fresh green beans and some corn in any form and she was happy as a CLAM!

[CoffeeCat]

8. How do you do that?

My children, ages 5 and 6, wouldn't eat a green bean or a piece of corn to save their lives.

I take that back. They would eat corn if it was popped and in a paper bucket at a movie theater.

[NoSheep]

11. My friend's children would only eat beige food. Sounds like your's may qualify.

fries
tots
mac n cheese
rolls
apple sauce....maybe

[CoffeeCat]

14. If only it were that easy!

If my children liked beige foods, I would be happy, because that would give me more choices.

My six-year old likes five things: Peanut butter, Laughing Cow spreadable cheese wedges, carrots, applesauce
and pretzel goldfish.

She is not allowed to take peanut butter to school for lunch--because one child at her elementary school has
peanut allergies.

So...packing her lunches is quite interesting!

[NoSheep]

Don't you see??? All those things are basically BEIGE!!!

If you mixed them all together, they'd be beige. I swear, it is a new diet catagory! :popcorn:

[radwriter0555]

27. I can't imagine life without peanut butter.... that's just not fair to a child, now

is it?

That's all normal kid stuff, she's eating fine! If she tops it off with juice or milk it's all good.

[radwriter0555]

24. Well we would occasionally delve into the orange food groups... including

kraft mac and cheese or cheetos. We're not total freaks, LOL!

[NoSheep]

30. I say those qualify as "warm" beige, lol!

[radwriter0555]

21. I honestly don't know. She is a gourmet I suppose.. the child loves curries, thai

food, mexican food, the hotter, the spicier, the more exotic, the better... she's a 'foodie' like me I guess. She knows food well, and she trusts me to guide her on exotic food choices, and I never make her eat anything that tastes awful. We're relaxed about food and meals as well, and definitely eat healthy although sometimes we succomb to a bowl of chocolate ice cream for dinner as a rare treat; there is never anything from a box in the house, since I always make everything from scratch. Her big craving right now is the maple yogurt from Whole Foods, we really miss it.

I just don't make her eat anything I wouldn't eat. We've always shared our meals. She's a real food adventurer so far.

As a little kid, I used the reward factor; if she ate more veggies, she'd get a bigger dessert or something, but I always trusted her to trust her nutrition needs as well. The body asks for what it needs instinctively... and for some kids 5 months of pb & j sandwiches are what their little bodies need. It's also a huge issue about having the right foods available to fill the needs. If you have junk in the house, the kids will eat the junk. If you have apples and bananas and granola and yoghurt they'll manage to eat it and survive. Oddly, they won't starve to death! Keep the good food choices around, eliminate the crap, and that's what they'll manage to eat. Make sure it tastes good though. Make it appealing.

[NoSheep]

26. Actually, I only eat the good stuff. The more Thai the better. I'm just trying

to have a ball with these folks who are hashing it out (pun intended) about eating meat. I have eaten many meat shapes in my time. But fortunately, I learned about good food and try to cook it all the time. Thai is my favorite and I make some good green curry , som tom and nom tok!

[Swamp Rat]

29. Kids around here love corn

especially after it has cooked in the pot with crawfish, potatoes, garlic, and tons of Cayenne Pepper . :9

[NoSheep]

32. Lawd, chile! I cried the fuss time I saw me some crawfish!

I used to live in LA where they eat this at every gathering. I can't deal with the eyes. Crawdaddy Shapes with no eyes? MAybe.

[CoffeeCat]

40. Those dino nuggets...

...don't have eyes.

I'm just sayin.

[NoSheep]

43. But they do have those little dino-dangling hands, don't they?

http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=&imgrefurl=http://plastic-flamingos.com/dinosaur_lawn_ornament.html&h=256&w=316&sz=30&hl=en&start=8&tbnid=GQJ2Rc8RWoD51M:&tbnh=95&tbnw=117&prev=/images%3Fq%3Ddinosaur%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26safe%3Doff%26sa%3DG

sorry, you'll have to click for the visual.

[CoffeeCat]

50. Two dangling dino hands...coming right up!

Ketchup or ranch with these?

[NoSheep]

54. OMG!!!! The 1st one on the left on the bottom row: Clearly dangling!!!

[CoffeeCat]

60. Clearly...

...this frozen-foods company created anatomically correct dino nuggets.

Obviously, they employ a paleontologist who works with them on the "design".

Just look at the detail on the stegosaurus. Those scales are perfectly proportioned!

[Canuckistanian]

69. It's uncanny - I'm suddenly transported back to the Cretacious

And I'm there, nibbling on some leaves and saying, "Hey, what IS this shit? I'm liking it."

[NoSheep]

61. I'm shocked at the realism there! Fish or Chicken?

[Swamp Rat]

53. LOL!

When I was a child, my dad got a free sack of crawfish from a local university... after the med students had removed the eyes. :D

Me, I look 'em in their beety little black eyes, crack 'em in two, then suck out their salty brains. :9

[NoSheep]

55. Dayum! Now that is some timely art!

[Target_For_Exterm]

58. LOL!! Swamp Rat, your stuff is great.

:rofl:

[CoffeeCat]

62. LOL!

That's awesome!

I'm laughing and going "Ewwwwww!" all at the same time.

Great stuff.

(And really. Who would allow Junior to kiss their children?)

[Cobalt-60]

68. mmmmm crawfish....

[NoSheep]

10. That's good to hear!

:7

[lumberjack_jeff]

2. If God had wanted us to eat animals, he wouldn't have made them look like crackers.

Or something.

:)

[NoSheep]

5. Fish sticks. That's the only kind of fish I can morally consume.

How can anyone possibly eat anything that looks at them. No eyes on my food.

[troubleinwinter]

81. No, it's:

"If God hadn't wanted us to eat animals, he wouldn't have made them taste like meat."

Or something.

[tridim]

4. Is the McRib back?

[NoSheep]

6. Christ I hope so. I haven't had a decent pork rib food product that I could

eat without having nightmares for some time now.

}(

[CoffeeCat]

15. I heard a commercial on the radio...

...yesterday about the McRib. Apparently, it is back.

So, there ya go!

I've never had one. Are they tasty?

[Target_For_Exterm]

19. I've eaten a few. I like them. I work hard not to think about

what's in 'em, if you know what I mean.

[CoffeeCat]

31. I knew it...

This is a Soylent-Green-type situation, isn't it?

[Target_For_Exterm]

37. LOL! I think people would be more sanitary than the things

I worry might be in there.

:rofl:

[NoSheep]

20. mmmmmmyeaaaaaahhhhhhhh!

[NoSheep]

9. Perhaps it is more honest to say I eat shaped meat.

:shrug:

[Blue-Jay]

13. What about animal crackers?

Everybody loves animal crackers!

[CoffeeCat]

17. What about...

...SpongeBob shaped cheese crackers.

It's seafood. It's cheese. It's a cracker.

There ya go...three of the four food groups in one tasty snack!

[lumberjack_jeff]

18. What about Swedish Fish?

I can't live without the taste of their succulent flesh.
http://bigskycandy.com.nyud.net:8090/gummi19medd.jpg

... and peeps. Animal infanticide was never so yummy.

[NoSheep]

22. Now THAT is a blast from my DU past!

[Target_For_Exterm]

34. I don't know why that picture of Bush and the squirrel makes

me laugh so much, but it does. It hits my funny bone in just the right way.

:rofl:

[NoSheep]

38. I have a case of the giggles myself!

[CoffeeCat]

45. This thread is pretty humorous...

Meat shapes! A great springboard for discussion.

[NoSheep]

47. Meat shapes are a fact of life. It's good to laugh at the facts when you can!

:7

[CoffeeCat]

44. Same here...

Some nights I catch myself focusing on that Bushy-squirrel picture.

It is so funny. Like you, I have no idea why it is so funny.

[Blue-Jay]

48. I don't know either.

Absurd humor, I'd guess. I can't tell you how many PMs I've gotten over the years asking me what it was supposed to "mean". I always explain that it doesn't mean anything. It's just funny.

[NoSheep]

51. It's chimpestentialism.

[CoffeeCat]

57. Maybe it's funny because...

...the squirrel looks more intelligent that the pResident of the United States.

Seriously. Look at Junior's dullard expression and his squinty eyes.

The squirrel looks alert, and like he has some sense of his surroundings.

Junior looks glazed.

Plus, the squirrel looks better in a suit.

[NoSheep]

59. You've nailed it! The varmint is more acceptable than the parasite!

[Target_For_Exterm]

63. It's the look on Bush's face. It's the doi duh stupidity of his

look combined with the absurdity of a human sized squirrel in a suit. They just match so well it makes me laugh.

[NoSheep]

64. shrub is no match for that squirrel. ;-)

[Target_For_Exterm]

73. The squirrel does look far more intelligent.

The squirrel looks like he could get things DONE, if you know what I mean.

[Target_For_Exterm]

23. Burger King has chicken nuggets shaped like little 3 pointed

crowns. It always makes me mad that you have to spend big $$$ to get only 4 of the freaking things, though. 4 chicken nuggets just tickles my taste buds.

[NoSheep]

33. It's like some beer. One makes me sleepy. The second pisses me off.

The third one's a charm though!

[NoSheep]

35. Hey! Aren't any of you Meat Shapes gonna nominate this for the greatest page?

:wtf:

[CoffeeCat]

65. I just did...

...this is some classic stuff here.

I feel like I'm back in my college dorm room again.

[NoSheep]

67. Hell! It's like this every DAY at my house. How else are we gonna survive

these fascist idiots???

Thanks for the fun, TwoSparkles!

:hi:

[CoffeeCat]

70. So true...

We have to sprinkle in some fun--as we plod through the totalitarianism and the
shredding of our Constitution.

Thanks for making me laugh...several times, NoSheep!

:hi:

[CoffeeCat]

36. What kills me is the McDonald's....

...Mighty Kids meals.

They're "super-sized" Happy Meals.

I mean really. Let's call a "Mighty Kid" what he really is...a kid
who will be getting an angioplasty for his tenth birthday.

[NoSheep]

41. And a gastric bypass for desert!

:9

[NoSheep]

46. I just want to thank everyone who helped make this thread possible.

I needed a break from all the serious stuff, and I believe if you keep it all in the lounge, the folks that REALLY need to lighten up will never get there.

:kick: :grouphug:

[Target_For_Exterm]

52. Thank you, NoSheep. I've enjoyed your thread immensely!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[CoffeeCat]

66. Thanks to you Nosheep..

...for starting this gem.

We all need to go down the "meat shape" road, every once in a while.

[RiverStone]

80. Agreed. Lets propose to the mods a NEW forum:

General Discussion: Meat Shapes


That way, we always know where to go to lighten up.:P

[Canuckistanian]

49. What you do on your leisure time is none of our business.

But, what the heck...Myself, I like to braid my pubic hairs... what?

Too much information?

[NoSheep]

56. You should start the next one: "I braid pubic hairs".

:popcorn:

[Canuckistanian]

74. Is that a dare?

Well, Bring It On, suck-ka....

Erm, I mean - I decline, with thanks, at this time.

[BlooInBloo]

71. I like meat. I like shapes. Good 'nuff for me.

[CoffeeCat]

72. Pork trapezoids for everybody!

Meat shapes! Meat shapes!

[BlooInBloo]

75. 15 Sausage Great Stellated Dodecahedra coming right up! You want fries with that?

[Blue-Jay]

76. Pork trapezoids NOW! Meat shapes NOW!

Hey, its GD: You're supposed to type in CAPS and ask for things RIGHT NOW!!!

[RiverStone]

77. If you take the chicken, out of the nugget...

What do you have?

[Blue-Jay]

78. Breading and an extra, comma.

I keed, I keed!

[Target_For_Exterm]

79. Bush? (the chicken)

[troubleinwinter]

82. I agree. "Shape"

[Target_For_Exterm]

83. Kinda light on the cheese puffs there, ain't ya?

That's barely a taste. But a very nice meat shape, I see.

[troubleinwinter]

84. Sorry about that. I got a little "head start" on ya.

[troubleinwinter]

85. Have you cross-posted this thread to the 'Cooking and Baking' forum?

... or are you CHICKEN?
