the trump effect - white people afraid of anything darker than their coffee stained teeth.
  ♥ 6:18pm Listener Robert:

in one of Peter Lamborne Wilaon's talks in the 1980s, we learned that one likely origin of the word and concept of BBQ was from pirate boucaniers. And pirates were notoriously mixed as to race.

UH OH
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:20pm Carmichael:

Tons of Sikhs in farming here in Northern California. But do they eat pig?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:20pm dale:

The Origin of the Word Barbecue. Today I found out why barbecues are called that. The word “barbecue” comes from the Caribbean word “barbacoa.” Originally, a barbacoa wasn't a way of cooking food, but the name of a wooden structure used by Taino Indians to smoke their food.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:21pm Planet Tyler:

I was cat called today by a white guy. Take from this what you will, but it was the first time I was cat called by a white guy and it WASNT absolutely pornographic and stalky and creepy.

Avatar ♥ 6:29pm Will from Seattle:

sikhs can eat pork apparently, but the meat they eat has to be killed quickly
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:30pm Carmichael:

Pig manure is quite toxic. It leaches into the soil and affects the water tables.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:30pm chris:

i work with a sikh who is a strict vegetarian, so i think mileage varies about diet, like the rest of us.

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:33pm Michael 98145:

"... residents must contend with waste from millions of hogs, which fouls the air near large operations and can contaminate local water supplies with germs and excess nutrients." pig manure is extremely, unpleasantly smelly.

In Sikhism, only lacto-vegetarian food is served in the Gurdwara (Sikh temple) but Sikhs are not bound to be meat-free. The general consensus is that Sikhs are free to choose whether to adopt a meat diet or not.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:38pm dale:

i read a book about trucking in europe called a thousand miles from nowhere (after the dwight yokum song). it was mostly about paying off border inspectors and sleep deprivation.
  ♥ 6:38pm Listener Robert:

Not only is it pig science, but since they're bowling, it's pig sports too.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:38pm northguineahills:

what oogoo said...

When I grew up in Japan I lived on a hill above a pig farm, and when the wind blew the wrong direction, hooooboy! (olfactory unpleasantness abounded )
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:38pm Ken From Hyde Park:

That was discovered accidentally after the farmer's failed experiment of trying to teach pigs to bowl.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:39pm northguineahills:

Take the pig heads bowling, take them bowling!

Your homesteader type looks at a pig as practical way to store fat and protein for Winter.
They are excellent converters of stale donuts and leftover garden veg to ready meat. We
probably should not say this during Ramadan, sorry.

Tofu has no discernible taste dale

I like how the WikiWiki writeup on sorghum puts the phrase sorghum molasses in passive-aggressive judgement quotes:

  6:50pm Betsy O:

Many veggies don’t eat meat because of the source being animals, not because of the taste that meat has.

Right on Betsy
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:52pm dale:

it's probably the white farmer who refuses to provide bathroom facilities for the farm help who is at fault for the lettuce recall. but hey -he's white, so why blame him when you can blame the immigrant pickers?
