Pet Peeve: When I'm home on a Saturday night and anything at all replaces COPS in the 8 pm slot. Like right now.

Favorite show on TV!

You have no idea. As some who makes a living selling meat, including Foie Gras, I can't stand them

The way they make Foie Gras is torture..and Veal..yikes...those Baby cows never get to smell the roses..sucks...O.K. time for some KFC..lol

I actually kind of have a problem with foie gras as much as it taste sooo good. Veal kind of sucks too but I will always use veal stock for many things. In a perfect world we would not eat fish how we currently do.

I'll say this and it's not because I sell it, but Moulard Ducks are treated like GOLD in comparison to almost any animal out there raised for food. The gavaging process mimicks a natural process for the bird and after the first couple of times, once they get over the fear, they actually enjoy the process. It's 100% painless.

Veal can also be raised very humanely as well. Doing so creates a VERY expensive product, but it can be done. If you see Veal on a menu somewhere for under $30 a plate, chances are it's coming from an inhumane factory farms.

PETA should go after the chicken industry if they want to do something worth while. People eat more chicken than anything else and they live the most inhumane life of any farmed animal.

Pet Peeve: DRIVE THE F&%ING SPEED LIMIT. You don't have to go faster than the limit, but please at least drive at it. This drives me CRAZY and happens every Sunday when I'm heading to or from the mountain on 302. Every single damn time I'm on that road I get stuck behind someone going 45 or slower in the 55mph zones. I don't care if you're out for a leisurely drive to go to church or do errands, some people actually have places to go on Sundays. If you don't want to drive the speed limit, than pull the eff over and let people pass.

I think most people view PETA as freaks because they have been so extreme. It would all be more easy to follow if they were a little more moderate.

This is a real broad statement but Maine drivers are the slowest and most conservative I've ever seen. I constantly passed on double yellows on roads like route 5 or 2.

Only place I've encountered slower drivers is in Pennsylvania, which interestingly enough has the second oldest populatin in the nation behind Florida or at least it did when I drove through it often four years ago. Interstate 78 is BRUTAL. People have no qualms about going 60 in the left lane on that road.

I agree..that happens to me on the way back from Blue mountain all the time when people go 5-10mph under the limit and then they get a long line of cars behind them...Last year someone was doing that and I was in a pissy mood..so I was tailgating them and flashing my high beams to try to either run them off the road or have them speed up. Well the driver went from like 40mph to 60mph..and then 1/2 mile later they hit a deer..and busted their entire front end and I swerved around their car and all the glass/plastic and made it home to write another trip report on www.paskiandride.com

Yeah PA is the 2nd oldest population next to Florida..a great place to be in the tombstone business...and my ex-girlfriends Dad would drive 55mph on the NJ Turnpike where even Grandmas in vans go 75mph...it's very dangerous to go that slow..and some people like to sit in the middle lane going really slow as well..it would be nice if everybody just set their cruise on like 71mph...and stayed in their lane..

On the way home tonight, I had my 15-1/2 yr old drive ( needs the hours with an adult for his license). I had him keep the speed limit to 5 mph over. You should have seen the traffic pile up behind us but it really is my job to keep him in line. I wish we had a "driver in training" sign on the car. I did advise him to keep to the right where he had a choice and told him it's perfectly okay to pull over in a safe place if he feels that there's too much pressure on him from anybody behind him. Of course I lecture him on keeping 3 seconds from the car ahead of him. He doesn't hate me yet.

I have more than a few for driving, but:

-People who don't stay to the right. Second to the right I think is OK for 3+ lanes, but other than that, there's a reason they're called both the fast lane and the passing lane. If you aren't going significantly faster than a person that you are passing, get the hell out of the way.

-People who slow down before the exit. In particular, my exit off of I-91S has about a quarter mile, uphill ramp until you get to the stop light. Often, people will be at 55-60mph before the lanes even split, and often forcing people behind them (and sometimes still fully on the highway) to do the same. The longest stopping distance from 70mph listed in Car & Driver's road test listing was a Jeep Wrangler, at 217 feet. Don't force me to be next to 4000 lb chunks of metal going 20mph faster than me just so you can take a little longer to slow down.

-That cops don't enforce the laws that actually matter. If people didn't drive distracted (phone, food, in-car conversation, whatever,) cut people off, change lanes without a signal, drive without their lights on in the rain (and why isn't that illegal in CT?,) etc., then there would be far fewer accidents, and people might finally realize that it isn't speed that kills, it's idiocy that does.

I was paying attention only peripherally and it turns out he opted to be cameraman while 3 of his buddies hammered on the milk. Still debating whether it should be on youtube. It is pretty funny and gross.

But yes, that is my only son.

Today's pet peeve: Froguls.

They look like sweet spring moguls but have the consistency of concrete. Saturdays soft corn froze overnight to form them and it didn't really warm up today.
