Update.

$1:

A woman who claims to be the one caught on camera apparently plucking and eating a bird on the Montreal metro is not apologizing or embarrassed by her actions.

In a Facebook thread first reported on by Nunatsiaq Online, Christina David wrote that she isn’t “crazy” and that if people were disgusted by her actions, they should not have watched her.

“It’s not like we get to eat our country food everyday,” she wrote. “I was so happy that I didn’t care where I was at the moment.”

Not Asian, Inuk.

I'm an angler. Grew up eating pickrel I caught. That's my "country food". When I lived in the city fishing opportunities were rare.

I still wouldn't have filleted one on public transit.

Odd.

This is why I abandoned public transit, because of the "odd ones" including but not limited to the inebriated, those with no concept of personal space, those who think "hygiene" is a greeting to your old friend Gene, Mr. "Hey buddy got any money?" and his brother Mr. "Hey buddy got any smokes?", and of course those who choose to clean and eat raw bird right next to you.

You can't put a price on not being stuck in a can with certain people.

Yeah there's a certain part of Canadians who's ancestors came from Asia, you know use the last name first. One family in particular, the Yagatas.
I've met most of them in front of the liqur store. Yagata Dollar. Yagata Smoke. Yagata Ride. Yagata Toonie. Yagata Neechange.

When I lived in Toronto, I was part of the medieval recreation society called the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA). A major part of that society was "heavy fighting", that is tournaments with sword and shield. We had to make our own armour. Rules for armour changed that year (1989) so everyone had to put a camail on their helm. A "helm" is a big helmet, covers your whole head. The camail is a skirt that hangs from the helm, covering your neck. I knitted one of chainmail (the medieval term is maille). That involved winding wire around a rod, then cutting the spring to form rings, then joining rings with pliers to form a sheet. It's basically knitting with metal. I brought my "knitting" on the subway. I was worried of the same sort of reaction. What I got was a few people reacted as if I was strange, similar to this woman. Others were curious and watched.

As for food, my parents both grew up on a farm. My father grew up on a large grain farm, with a 3 acre vegetable garden and fruit trees. My mother grew up on a small subsistence farm during the Great Depression. They raised chickens, and as a child was taught how to slaughter chickens, and prepare them for cooking. When I was young my father went hunting every fall with my mother's father (his father in-law), so we had ducks and deer. My father "dressed" the deer, but my mother prepared the ducks. I grew up preparing real food.

Values taught by my family: anyone who doesn't understand where food comes from, anyone who thinks food comes from a box or a can, is a child that never grew up to kindergarten age. Those who harassed the woman on the Metro are spoiled brats!

I'm sure your dad dressed the deer on the bus ride home.


There is a place and time for things, plucking a chicken on the metro
isn't it.

Not surprised by that revelation, nerd boy. Does your "shiny new pony" wear a suit of armour?

Nerd and proud of it. Nerds rule. Nerds keep your computer running, and Bill Gates was the richest man in the world when he retired.

You remind me of an incident in Stratford. There was an SCA demo tournament. My fiance and I walked in costume down the sidewalk. Teenage boys laughed at us, until they saw us get into shiny sports car. My Firebird was 2 years old at the time.

But I don't participate in the SCA any more. I'm getting too old to fight. In 1997 bruises healed slowly, and more time has passed. But any sports jocks should realize, SCA "heavy fighting" is full contact, with rattan swords that have the same weight and balance as a real medieval sword. Twice as long as a policeman's night stick and twice as heavy. And we were trained by martial arts instructors. In 1989, SCA instructors from Guelph were hired by local police to teach how to use riot shields. But club politics got too heavy. Decided if I have to deal with politics that bad, I would get involved with real politics. I was amazed how similar ceremonies around "court" in the SCA were similar to real parliamentary ceremonies. So some skills do transfer. You could call parliamentarians paid nerd boys.

So they open a new fancy restaurant in the Hotel, the local college trains up a bunch of the untrainables to staff it.
We pull up and out the front door comes the Hostess, all dressed up nice. She looks really good.
She spies some piss-tanks she knows stumbling by down the street and sticks her fingers in her mouth lets out a piercing whistle 'HEY HARRY LOOK AT ME I GOT A FUCKIN JOB HEY?'

$1:

There is no law against plucking and eating a raw bird in the metro, but Couture says the woman could still face criminal charges.

"Given that it visibly upset people, we consider it to be disturbing the peace," said the police spokesman.

So wait, the people went over to HER to see what she was eating and got all freaked out about it, but she was the one disturbing the peace?
