In watching Battle Guinea Hen from last night's airing of Iron Chef on Fudd.. I mean, Food Network, there came a point at which the chosensha (challenger) broke out a vessy to steam a guinea hen in. A vessy, you see, is a heavilly sterilized pig's bladder. It's very airtight, making it an excellent choice to steam whole birds in as it doesn't let any air or steam out.

How does this pertain to the subject of this post?

One of the chosensha's assistants had to.. guhhhhh... lean in and blow the damn thing up like a baloon.

Okay, I know it's sterillized past the point of sanity. But it's Still. A. Pig's. Bladder. The man had to.. he.. his lips.. i... *runs off to pray to the porcelain goddess*

It's sterilized, and then he puts human germs in it. :) (That's secondary to the bladder.)

Have you never eaten a hot dog?

Well...there's eating hot dogs and then there's thinking about hot dogs.

Never read "Little House on the Prarie"? They slaughter a hog, and clean the bladder, and blow it up like a balloon for the girls to play with.

I don't see what the big deal is, but that might be cause I've cleaned animals for food before...

The Porcelain goddess sure is busy lately, this is the third vomity post I have read today! ;D
