How would you like to try that experiment? Might be amusing to see you oil up an emu....

You kinky devil...

Okay Robert, I'm sure there are laws against throwing babies around like that.

And BibwitHart I'm shocked at you?! Have you seen Clerks 2 and been getting ideas from Kinky Kelly?

I apologise! I have had a serious talk with my fingers and decided that from now on all things written by them must be quality controlled by my brain first.


What is Clerks 2?


I actually had thought emus might object to have oil poured on them and might be a bit annoyed, that is what I thought would be amusing.

Would an oiled emu move like greased lightning?

Now I have that image in my head of some minor deity with the job to grease up all lightning that Thor is going to throw. Whithout protective gloves, as he is punished for some insubordination...

I wonder if you could locate a suitable volcanic area with boiling hot springs, oil up a bunch of emus, and then drive them in the direction of the boiling water. You'd get gigantic fried chicken!

Forum post of the year there I feel.

And recipe glitch of the decade:
Greased or not, you can't "fry" in water.

And as my Chinese friend would say, "evelyone knows emus can't fry".

They would be more stewed, I guess.
Another glitch for volcanically cooking emu in Australia/Victoria, there is a distinct lack of "active volcanoes" the few that exist have been dormant for an incredibly long time, and are considered non-active for the most part. Lucky us!

It's like the Tin Man in Wizard of Oz: without regular oilings, you get rusty emus.

I love this forum. Where else would people debate the possibility of frying emus in volcanos, and it's the "can't fry in water" bit is seen as illogical?

It's a good point, though. I hadn't even thought about that. Could we build some sort of giant skillet, then?

no no i still like the volcano bit, but try hawaii, you can run them past one way to cook one side and then turn them around to cook the other side, truely fast food!

You could drop them on an active section of a constructive mid-ocean ridge and pressure cook them?

Do emus sink or float?

Get enough 303 ammo in them and they'd sink.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure all this requires virgin emus, and who wants the job of checking that?

Would emus from the Virgin Islands count?

Have they been educated enough? I doubt if you could get enough neurons firing at the same time for an emu to count up to one.
