    Uncle Apple, I'm wanting to add something to this so bad that's it's killing me. However I have been asked to tone down my conservative views and cooks on the big units on the forum. As such, I will just say that you are my favorite Uncle.

    I think they should have a reenactment of Surviving the Game, but with lions instead of Gary Busey 


    and you really cant compare PP to poaching endangered species for sport.

    I googled Cecil the Lion at looked and dozens of pictures of him. I don't see any type of collar on him. I'm not taking the hunter's side here but this collar doesn't appear to be as easy to spot as the media is making it out to be.

    Where did you read it was visible?  I didn't read that. They have giant manes.

    I just saw it watching TV and that's what warranted my google search.

    Well I just read half a dozen articles and they all said they discovered the collar after he was dead (and presumably before they cut off his head).  You must not be watching real news. Fox, right?  You know that is an editorial channel.

    I very rarely comment on any thread not related to BGE cooking-an exception here.  If anything good comes of this then it is the high profile web site that may get help going forward:  http://www.wildcru.org  Can't unwind history (as much as we love revisionist writings and speeches) so make the best of a sorry sequence of events.  Many were culpable.  FWIW-

    Appreciate the stereotype @nolaegghead

    It was on my ABC local news station and I heard it again on Entertainment Tonight that came on right after while I was reading the forum. Haven't watched Fox in years. The henfest is annoying.

    It was reported by the pundits that the collar was discovered after the fact and then smashed like Hillary's server. The pundits kept saying how large the collar was and that basically any idiot could see it. Of course I added the Hillary server comment just to fan the fire.

    @DoubleEgger HAHAH I'm sorry man.  I just assumed you watched them because of how informed you are of current events.  All fun and games, right?

    Absolutely @nolaegghead I read a lot of news on the net but you have to make a lap around all of the media sources to get a full picture of what's really going on. Everybody has an agenda these days and it's sad.

    So you assumed I was conservative because I am informed. That is the best compliment I'll ever get from you!

    @SGHWhy hold back?   It's ok to have a different point of view then most people. I've been called an uneducated hate monger simply because I'm a conservative, bible  believing evangelical, who teaches  Sunday school and children's church.  At the end of the day this country gives you he freedom to have open debate and discussion on all topics.

    I bet the dentist has Fox News playing in his waiting room.

    I dunno, I think the psychotic dentist reminds me more of "Ted Nugent" than "Keith Olbermann".
