Cooking a mean shredded pork

Sometimes, I like to make a mean meaty shredded pork burrito with a juicy filling, after a long day of work.  To do this, I will slow cook a pork shoulder rot with sloppy joe sauce, mixed with burrito seasoning, and a shot of A-1 sauce.  Cook it for several hours on low heat.

Another Embarassing Snake Story

Okay, I just came across another story on the Web.  In this case, a man in Taiwan had to take a dump at home.  A few minutes after he sat down on his toilet, a snake bit his "twinky" and held on for a few seconds.  The poor guy went reeling in pain, but luckily for him, this was a non poisonous snake that crept into his toilet.  I believe this incident occurred two years ago; you can look it up on the web.

An Old Creepy Snake Story From Down Under…

Eastern Brown Snake from Australia...one bad boy if you get bitten...don't piss them off!

All righty!  Here's another snake story I heard.  This one comes from Australia back in 2009.  A tourist was driving through the deserts in Queensland, when he had the urge to take a pee.  He pulled over, and started to do the wee wee in some bushes.  Unfortunately, there was an Eastern Brown snake, hiding and waiting for some prey to come close.  I'll call this snake Jessie.  (Not sure if it was a male or female snake, so Jessie will do.)  While I'm at it, let me give this tourist an alias as well.  I'll call him Earl...yes, I'm choosing Earl since I'm a big fan of the show My Name Is Earl, and for that reason only.  Well, as "Earl" started pissing, he got Jessie pissed off.  Jessie lunged at Earl, and chopped his nuts.  Luckily for Earl, some paramedics were nearby, and they wrapped his little manhood, and got him to the hospital in time.  Earl threw up his lunch, and spent the night in the hospital.

One lesson to learn:  When you travel in Australia, don't pee in the bushes.  You might piss off a brown snake like Jessie, and get bitten where it counts!

Snakes - A Love Hate Thingy

Snakes fascinate me.  I have this love hate thing about them.  You saw that picture of the white cobra I posted.  I read a story about a guy named Eric Bortz in New Jersey who got bitten by that cobra.  He bought that snake along with a copperhead and rattler from a place in Pennsylvania.  That story gave me the heebee geebees...what kind of idiot is he?  Why would he be so stupid, as to endanger everyone around him?  what would have happened if his home caught on fire?  What if the snakes got out and bit his wife?  Fortunately, he got bitten, and survived!  Yes, I say fortunately!  It took something that nearly killed him to send him a message.


Now that I got that off my mind, I say I have a love hate thing about snakes.  I know they keep vermin under control, which is quite cool.  But a few weeks ago, I was doing an oil change, and I went to grab a piece of cardboard to creep under my car, then I saw a triangular head pop out underneath...scared the wits out of me.  It turned out to be a brown salamander or lizard hiding underneath.
