roadkill pics (cross post)

[xfer]

Toby and I saw this on our way up to Vermont for Thanksgiving--probably the most spectacular roadkill I've ever encountered. the pictures don't really do it justice. the road was bright red with blood for a dozen yards and the flesh was spread over that distance in lumps and piles. it was probably a deer, but there wasn't a single identifiable piece. it smelled kind of like a horse, though.

I slipped on a piece of the animal while I was getting out of the car examine it. we didn't arrive at the condo until about 3am and my parents scolded us for keeping them waiting while we photographed roadkill.

That's fargin' awesome dude. Talk about non-descript meat! Glad you decided to document this.

Did you fall on your tongue?



And I won't get into trouble for opening it at work 'cause there are no visible nipples!

no, i grabbed hold of the car door and didn't fall all the way down. my shoe had nasty blood all over it for a few days, though.

Did you pick any of the mystery meat up to use as a side dish for Thanksgiving dinner?

Are there any more pictures?

 

[xfer]

there were two more that didn't come out, taken from the moving car. finally we gave up and stopped and sloshed around in the road.

It looks like a Semi wiped it out.

Speaking of Semis wiping shit out, I saw a video today of a couple who stole a $1000 riding lawn mower and were trying to evade the police when a Semi just fucking destroyed them. I heard they died instantly. Perhaps you have seen this video. It was insane. Ohh, I'll make a link to it!! www.mike-w.clara.net/cl0ps/www.video-clips.co.uk_crash.mpg There is no blood or guts, so people with queasy stomachs need not worry.

BTW, that picture is disgusting and xfer you are disrespectful for descrating that poor, beautiful creature who was an innocent casualty of human studpidity. (notice how I didn't specify what kind of creature it is because I can't tell.)

dude, if some animal is wandering across the highway, i don't think it's human stupidity i'd blame for its messy death.

I don't think the deer realizes that this big strip of hard stuff poses any danger to them. They figure it's just part of the environment. On the other hand, sensible people know that deer walk across roads frequently and they can recognize when it's going to happen. Also, sensible people know to try to avoid hitting large objects, at the very least (and insensetively) to avoid damaging their car, let alone trying not to kill something.

Did you watch the video? It's crazy!

Right. That would be "deer stupidity". Not that you can expect much more from them.

Yes, I've seen it! The best part is the single spoken line.

I added stuff .

Actually, I haven't watched it with the sound on for fear of hearing something nasty. I'm listening to it right now.

I think that the line adds tension and drama. I like it. It creates an awesome build-up.
