William MacKenzie King, the longest serving Prime Minister in Canada used to commune with spirits via psychic mediums including those of his dead dogs. It was only revealed after his death but was a big part of his life.

I agree it's weird.

I wish this was a "burial" option over making some creepy guy in a suit richer than he already is because you need just the right box for grandpa's meat sac.

Bandcamp is owned by union busters. Only use on Bandcamp Friday for best effect.

We live in a rural part of Canada that has been left behind by modern times. Mostly by the choice of the residents. I grew up during satanic panic. It was crazy here. My wife and I let our kids listen to anything they want. They always have. They're 10 and 12.

Their friends often comment about swear words and "sex, drugs and rock and roll" themes of the music they listen too. As an old man I get to regale them with stories of how crazy the Christians were over heavy metal and punk rock when I was a kid, including their grandma.

Now I yell "you're gonna go to hell!" As a joke to them every time their friends bring it up and I am around.

We hatch our own and we have all heritage breeds for various reasons so we end up with a lot of roosters. We have 42 hens at different stages right now and probably 3-4 roosters left.

Barred rocks are generally very gentle birds. Even the roosters. Keep touching him and talking to him and he'll be good for a while. They tend to get a little ornery when they get older.

We do solely a meat breed for eating.

We use everything. It all supports how we live. We do not use the grocery store very much and even though we are poor we actually give a lot of food away to our neighbors and friends. The roosters will be used for coyotes that are invasive species where we live and affect all the other populations that feed us.

Could have just offered up 15 roosters this morning. They'll go to trapping bait instead.
