"Nothing more than...Feelings"

Bird Run.

/obscure?

They are fairly tasty, though. Guy across the road from my uncle raised them and would slaughter one every now and then. We would get a few steaks. It is red like beef but tougher.

Cinderella story.

etc.

Seriously, why no Caddyshack in this thread? I am disappoint.

My family owns some land up around Montgomery, New York, that we use for part of our business. A neighboring property is home to an eccentric guy that raises emus, among other animals.

About 8 years or so ago one of his emus got loose, ran in through our gate, and was lost for many months on our several-hundred-acre partially wooded property.

Our field workers began to see the emu peering at them from a few dozen yards away, moving to be within sight of them as they moved around the property.

I guess the emu was lonely or something. From time to time, the eccentric neighbor would show up and demand to be let onto the property to search for the emu; he tried (unsuccessfully) to barter for this with emu meat and unspecified business services performed by his llamas.

Should have just played some Smashing Pumpkins and left out some razor blades. That emo would have popped right up.

Emu, Joe! It's the pork of the future!

Get the fark off the golf course!

Dieter must have an Emu... for art

Every time I see or think about Smashing Pumpkins makes me think of when I went to see 38 Special at the University of Rochester back in the mid 90's. My best friend and his wife are alumni from there and they got tickets for the show at one of the halls there. It was a small hall that appeared to be a basketball court that can convert. We went hours early so that we could get in line and when we got there, there was only a 7 or 8 people in line. We waited for quite a while and when everything was said and done, the place was practically empty. We were right up front 4 feet from the stage. I was embarrassed for Rochester but back to the Smashing Pumpkins bit. While waiting, these college numnuts came up and asked what the line was for and we said 38 Special. The response was "What is that, a gun show of some kind?" I told the little puke to go back to listening to his Smashing Eggplants or whatever crap of the day was and get lost.

I can't believe that nobody bothered to point out that that bird is NOT an emu - it's a Rhea, which is from South America. Emus have mohawk-like feathers on top of their heads, and bluish colouring on their faces. GIS rhea if you don't believe me. That's a rhea, not an emu.

Evil looking beast yer emu. Won't kill you as much as a cassowary will though.

If I had $1,000,000, I'd buy you an exotic pet - like a llama, or an emu
