The other comment is that, as far as I know, chili contains
beef
and
although deer and antelope were here long before the
conquest,

Just a gentle correction for anyone who cares. There have
never
been
antelope in the Americas. You are probably refering to the
pronghorn -
"Antelocapra americana". It is not related to antelopes nor to
any
living
animal. As the scientific name suggests, they are sometimes
placed
in
a
group of animals called "goat antelopes" although they are
neither.
Other
animals in this group: chamois, saiga, takin and muskox. Other
than
the
muskox and takin none are actually related.

Oh yeah?? Well if that be true, tell me
this--------------------
why
would
"where the deer and the ANTELOPE play" be in the words of the
most popular song of the 20th Century !!!! ???? I'm talkin'
Home on the Range !

McDave

But, but.....that's the same song that has non-existent buffalo
roaming
too!

Well, one of those non-existent buffaloes tore the arm off a cousin
of
mine when he was on a picnic in the Wichita Mountains of Oklahoma
in 1972. He was a native OKIE, a Warrant Officer in the U.S. Army
Artillery,
and should have know better than to wander among the herd in the
rutting season !! They did let him stay in the Army until his
retirement.

A one armed Okie can't pick much fruit in California.

You're sure right about that.... particularly one who cain't
tell an Cantaloupe from a Antelope !!

No one has mentioned the Texas Jackalope.

Jim
================================================== =====

No, they haven't. But, I had one back in my OKIE days.
Actually, I bred it myself. Turned out to be a cross between a Jackass
and a Jack Rabbit. And, when it died, we used its skeleton for
a Jack-o-lantern.......

case of snakebite.
Furthermore, always carry a small snake."

I guess I better quit this cross-posting. Many on this newsgroup get
all "quivvered up" when a guy cross posts! It's considered worse than
cross-dressing !
