I wouldn't want to ask people to just give me money cause they like my website, but do please take a quick look at Barger's Boutique. You might find yourself a little something-something for 2 or 3 bucks that you just can't resist! Any of the round images you find around MoreThings will get you to an Amazon page to buy my stuff and help ol' Al keep the lights on.
Links
To explicitly state the obvious, these external links go to interesting and provocative websites, but they speak for themselves. I don't necessarily agree with anything they say - especially that no-goodnik Richard Marcus.

Umm, roasted goathead! A tasty anthropological field report from the Accordian Cowboy:
I am proud to say I witnessed a passel of Greeks roast both whole lamb and goat (aka "devil-lamb") on 2 spits for my girlfriend's Easter family celebration. The style is to cleave the whole lamb/goat off the spit when done, then family members eat immediately, grabbing hunks of roasted flesh from cleaved parts and bones, hot off the roasted carcass.
Higher status males ceremonially eat the head parts, with the bravest eating 1 or both eyes from the freshly hacked skull. I was an honored guest, being that I held (and took a bite of) the goat head. I left the eyes to the ethnic Hellenics.
Of course I asked about ritual slaughter, but no go: Whole lamb and goat come from the Greek butcher. "We're not like that crazy Santeria bullshit", said one. :)
