See, she swore there was a lizard in her car, and that it was a foot long.

This poem leaves the nastiest taste in my mouth… you can just taste the mediocrity… and it tastes bad.

On my recent vacation, I took the opportunity to visit my brother at his place of employment: the full service meat counter of a grocery store chain.  They take great pride in their meats, and boy did he have some interesting stories and perspectives that I felt that we all should know for our own enlightenment and understanding, so we can become more courteous shoppers:
