Anybody remember "The Mouse on the Moon?" The astronauts of Grand
Fenwick took live chickens with them. That way they had fresh eggs on
the way up and fresh chicken on the way back.

I actually just picked up a copy on DVD and haven't watched it yet. I
loved Peter Sellers in the original "Mouse That Roared", too bad he
isn't in the sequel...

It's a good thing the flight is only one orbit, cause they're gonna be hungry
an hour after they eat their meals!

I thought it was the Swinetrek, and one of the crew is Dr. Strangepork.
Memory is a funny thing. I can't remember what I had for dinner yesterday, but I still remember my locker combination from Jr. high.

From the "Swine Trek Compendium, 3rd edition":
Ship Registry Name Class NPORK 1701 Swinetrek Battle Cruiser NPORK 1701-A Swinepork Galaxy Class Cruiser
"Following the near-destruction of the Swinetrek by the Bork at the battle of Wolf-blowyourhousedown-359, completion of the Galaxy-class cruiser NPORK A1/57 was accelerated, she was renamed ''Swinepork', and assigned the official registry number NPORK 1701-A. The crew of the Swinetrek was reassigned to the Swinepork. The Swinetrek, too damaged to return to battle-worthy status, was refitted with minimal life support capability and ended her days as a garbage sow".

Yeah, me too.
That would have been 1968-69 for me. I don't remember mine but my wife does and we shared the same locker, so does that count?

um, do they *really* eat cats? I ask this in all sincerity as I know
for a fact they used to eat shar-pei's(currently shar-pei's are illegal
in China)
Personally I think it's barbaric and damn near canibilistic(psychologicaly speaking; think 4 legged loved ones). But then again, I'm North American. I think nothing of devouring a cow :)

So do many Chinese, Sharpei dogs to be more specific. One of the
reasons for their near extinction was the fact that many were eaten.
Definitely gives new meaning to the term "Dog food". :-)

Ted,
Just go into an open air butcher's market in any village in most countries and look for the long tailed rabbits.
I've lived in six countries counting the USA and three of them considered cats and dogs a regular item in the market. Not so much in the big cities, but very definitely in the villages. Just reset your viewpoint to having an annual income of $200 for a family of 6 or 8 and try to think of something you won't put in the food bowl (you can't afford a table or individual bowls).

Bob,
Let me rephrase.... I'm a spoiled North American :)
My point is that me being a North American my/some culture views cats/dogs/wabbits(got one of them too) as friends/family.
I can't remember where but I'm fairly certain there's a culture(India?) out there that actually worships cows. I bet they think we're total heathens for our treatment of cows as just cattle.

Well, asside from the pet problem, what is the relative desirability
or palatability of the various meats: cat, dog, horse, possum and
other "US game meats"?
