Wasn't it Iosif Dzhugashvili who said something like "A single death is a

I'm hoping my number comes up in the Power Ball Lottery before it comes up on
Park & Perfetti Crematorium's to-do list.

I don't understand what an endocrine problem would have to do with
mega-silicone into the ta-tas. Karen seemed a normal, average wife and clerical

famously asked .........

A little pink is OK with me. But, oddly, bloody chicken bones are *very*
off-putting. I don't get that reaction with beef, etc. Just with poultry.

Followed a tanker truck yesterday labelled "PORK BLOOD Not for Human
Consumption". And I wondered "Why not?"

      Title: Irish Black Pudding
 Categories: Pork, Offal, Grains, Sausages
      Yield: 8 Servings
 
      1 lb Pig's liver
  1 1/2 lb Unrendered lard; chopped
    120 fl Pig's blood
      2 lb Breadcrumbs
      4 oz Oatmeal
      1 md Onion; chopped
      1 tb Salt
    1/2 ts Allspice
           Beef casings
 
  Always served with an Irish "fry". The preparation of this
  pudding may be impractical these days due to the difficulty
  of procuring fresh pig's blood and casings.
  
  Stew liver in boiling salted water until tender. Remove
  liver, and mince. Reserve cooking liquor. Mix all
  ingredients in large bowl. Stir thoroughly until blended.
  
  Fill casings with mixture. Tie off in one-foot loops.
  
  Steam for 4-5 hours. Leave until cold.
  
  Cut into 1/2 inch slices as required and fry in hot fat on
  both sides until crisped.
  
  Servings: 8
