    As a man who once downed a bowl of poshingtang in Korea, I think we can say that certain Asian cultures biting dogs is also not news.

  2. jimmydageek   19 years ago

    What is really headline worthy is that the dog the man bit was uncooked.

  3. crimethink   19 years ago

    Abdul,

    True. But biting RAW dogs?

  4. thoreau   19 years ago

    Now that Abdul, jimmy, and crimethink have won this thread, what else needs to be said?

    Dang. My first "win" on H&R and I have to split it three ways...takes all the fun out of it.

  8. Jamie Kelly   19 years ago

    I'm waiting for the class-action canine lawsuit. This scourge must be erased from our society. For the puppies.

    Bite me.

  11. crimethink   19 years ago

    jimmydageek,

    Aw, shucks. I win enough threads, you can take my share of this one.

  12. Abdul   19 years ago

    I'll take my prize in an extra large helping of poshingtang, with a side of kim-chee.

  13. fritzthecat   19 years ago

    Could we open a new restaurant on the Potomac called 'Poshingtang DC"?

  14. arbiter elegantieae   19 years ago

    winners : thread :: canine fragments : watermelon patch
