that makes sense...at least its more civilized that what the French do when they are eating Ortolan Buntings...these lovely little birds..are captured when very young they are force fed in a darkened environment then when they have been fattened up...they are drowned in Armagnac..then cooked..and the gourmet diners do this when eating them....bones and all....there all pagans...

Apparently...this disgusting eating habit is not allowed in certain parts of France...and the only way they can get round the law is by ..not letting people see them eating the pare wee burdies...

The dealer sold his screens at auction $320.00. Theirs were a little more elaborate. By the way "BigWull" is that pun? :o
