Being a corrupt dictator is hard work!
Currently up for debate in Keanugolia:
The Issue: In a bid to provide a new revenue stream for Keanugolia's Beef-Based Agriculture industry, it has been suggested that Dogstar could be added to the menu.The Debate
#1 ) "The fact is, the Dogstar population is out of control," says Beef-Based Agriculture spokesperson Violet du Pont. "We have to do something about them anyway, so why not market them as tasty snacks? We could have dogstar kebabs, dogstar pies, dogstar-on-a-sticks--the possibilities are endless! Let's not pass up this golden opportunity to provide a feast, if you will, for our economy."
#2 ) "I agree that something needs to be done about Dogstar over-population," says random passer-by Anne-Marie Chicago, "but eating them? That's kind of gross. Let's just shoot the ones we have to and shovel their bodies into ditches like normal."
#3 )"I am shocked and appalled!" declared SPCA President Jessica Hanover. "If anyone needs to be culled, it's us humans. The Dogstar were here first, remember? We need to take this as a sign to get our industry--agriculture in particular--to back off. The Dogstar is part of what makes Keanugolia a great nation!"
I'm having a little trouble getting behind the "overpopulation" arguments. As far as I can tell, Dogstar has been more of a rare and endangered species these days.
I'm leaning toward supporting position #3, in spite of the fact that Ms. Hanover continues to annoy me by referring to them as The Dogstar.
I think she may be on the crack.
So...what do you say?
Shall I pass a law making it okay to eat Dogstar?
Maybe we could just eat parts of them :)

Marketing them as 'tasty snacks' sounds good.

Posted by: Keanuette on January 17, 2003 11:54 AMI propose chocolate-dipped popsicles -Thanx to Tyler *tm*, who's keeping us ALL off work ;-)
Of course, you could also genetically manipulate them into a handy size (portable Keanu!) The population might dissagree, but hey! You're the dictator, right! :-)
i don't think we should literally devour them, but maybe a little licking wouldn't hurt.
;)
Not trying to be a party pooper, I don't think they look very happy with the news. Perhaps, krix, you should let them know about the *ahem* sucking idea.

Posted by: kat on January 17, 2003 07:01 PMAs a representative of KETA (Keanuoglians for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) I have to demand that reason and compassion guide your decision.
Dogstar, be it on a stick or kebob is murder, no matter how you slice it...as it were.
Posted by: scott on January 17, 2003 09:24 PMno scott, you misunderstand me. i only want to lick them while they live. no murder involved, though there may be a "little death."
Posted by: Lori on January 17, 2003 09:39 PMWell, they certainly do look tasty. Yum. ;-)
Posted by: Muffy on January 18, 2003 12:50 AMYou know that if you were to lick 'em just right, I think the dogsters would be praying for that "little death" Lori was talking about.
I would like to try and find out, you know?
Posted by: Tyler on January 18, 2003 07:35 AMI think, when describing my comment above, the word "obtuse" is the best fit.
Posted by: scott on January 18, 2003 06:35 PMOh Scott, you're just not used to being around so many Dogstar bitches in heat. Just keep your extremities inside the passenger compartment at all times and you'll be fine.
Posted by: krix on January 18, 2003 06:52 PMI have to harily second all the tasty treat, lickem good comments above...
