The Carnivore Project

Interview with the Shameless Carnivore

Not my interview, of course. I live in an inflatable raft, tied to a buoy floating off the Isle of Mann. Even for the length of a two minute interview, guests get a bit uncomfortable. Possibly because my tape recorder is made of fish bones.

Anyway, Scott Gold, author of The Shameless Carnivore, was interviewed by someone for the Tampa Tribune that eventually condescended to capture a few of Scott's words, as well as their own random musings.

Omaha Beef

The Carnivore Project has a new favorite team - the Omaha Beef. The Beef are in the ninth year of professional football, playing as part of the United Indoor Football Association. Home games are played at Omaha Civic Auditorium, nicknamed (I love this) "The Slaughterhouse" and their mascot is "Sir Loin". What's not to love?

Not only the Beef, you know, the Beef - they're also really good. After a hard-earned road win over the Sioux City Bandits (laaaaaame), the Beef are riding a seven game winning streak, and sitting (at 8-2) with the best record in the league. GO BEEEEEF!

Note: The Omaha Beef are only the new favorite real team of the Carnivore Project. The favorite imaginary team will still remain the Kansas City Beef, of the London House Rules Fantasy Football League.

Oink?

The Week in Meat

Tooth and Claw, the organization devoted to promoting peaceful coexistance with Britain's natural predators (the four-legged kind, not just meat-bloggers), is helping promote "Wild Wonders". The initiative takes 55 of Europe's top nature photographers and sends them on 90 assignments (44 countries!) in order to show off Europe's natural heritage. You can follow the whole thing at their web site, www.wild-wonders.com. Nifty pictures.

That's a Twitter box in the right-hand column. I'm not sure how long it will last, but I'll do my best to keep it updated and vaguely Carnivorous.

The cheeses of the month are Strathdon Blue, Gubbeen, Berkswell and Waterloo. The Berkswell looks especially delicious. And Gubbeen is a lot of fun to say. Try it. "Gubbeen"

A little late, but how good was the Kansas City draft? Sure, we're still shaping up for a 13-loss season in 2008, but 2011 is OUR YEAR!

Great comic on XKCD on stove ownership. It also applies to the Foreman Grill, and aren't those supposed to make people healthier? (Thanks, Julia)
