The actual quote (that I decided not to use) from the show is worded slightly differently, and it's kind of worse in context. Maybe I needed to go with the actual quote anyway. Everyone would still be confused, but at least I'd guess the problem isn't with my English or anything like that.<br /><br />--- RedcrowAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3889388775673754833.post-63725270797353940232014-12-29T15:38:14.343-05:002014-12-29T15:38:14.343-05:00Sorry, I get literal sometimes - I remember hearin...Sorry, I get literal sometimes - I remember hearing someone comment on the best strategy for scavenging meat from a road-killed deer (something about taking the front legs and front part of the torso and leaving the rest), and I wanted to contribute in that direction.

Are you saying "she probably thanked deer for its meat not being rendered unusable" or did you take "putting every part to use" to mean "eating all of it"? The first is slightly weird for me, since deer didn't actually intend for his meat to be edible in case of his death (but then, neither did he intend to die), the second... wasn't what I meant. Leaving aside morbid fandom in-jokes - meat isn't the only thing animals consist of, so it's not the only thing that can be used. But it *was* a morbid fandom in-joke, so my apologies in case my post confused you just as much as your comment confused me.<br /><br />--- RedcrowAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3889388775673754833.post-14876578502282146532014-12-28T08:15:38.317-05:002014-12-28T08:15:38.317-05:00Depending on its injuries, the intestines might ha...Depending on its injuries, the intestines might have burst and rendered much of the meat unusable.Packbathttp://packbat.net/w/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3889388775673754833.post-48862178201840888702014-12-27T08:47:26.036-05:002014-12-27T08:47:26.036-05:00Poor deer.

(I know my English is far from perfect, so clarification just in case: what I mean is not that it *sounds* like the start of one - though it is - but that it might lead to a new one being born that day/night/whatever.)<br /><br />A ritualistic part of me is kind of pleased she thanked the deer too, even though it didn't intend to become a meal. It's weird, because that part of me doesn't get outraged that I *don't* thank animals I eat,so why the opposite makes it pleased, I'm not quite sure.<br /><br />(The fandom side of me wonders whether every part of the deer was put to use.)<br /><br />--- RedcrowAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3889388775673754833.post-73456234133320861832014-12-27T00:47:31.815-05:002014-12-27T00:47:31.815-05:00I should start keeping a list of Gripping Introduc...I should start keeping a list of Gripping Introductions.
