Beyond bizarre. Truckload of rotting meat is spilled on California roadway, along with ignition of a wildland fire after a swarm of bees skeeves out the driver. I can imagine the officers drawing straws to see who has to do the accident report. 
Grilled Chicken with Honey Glaze
Ingredients
1/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
2 tablespoons orange juice
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1 small clove garlic, minced
1/8 teaspoon salt
Dash pepper
1 2-1/2- to 3-pound broiler-fryer chicken, cut up
Directions
- For sauce, mix honey, orange peel, orange juice, mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Grill chicken, skin side up, on an uncovered grill directly over medium coals for 35 to 45 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. Turn chicken over after half of the grilling time. Brush often with the sauce during the last 10 minutes.
- Bring remaining sauce to a boil; serve with chicken. Makes 4 servings.
Noooo no no no no NO. We want a recipe that uses rotting chicken. And bees. No fair honey. (And no fair just taking “beets” and deleting the “t”.)
I imagine the gang over at alt.religion.kibology will have big fun with this. Bees are iconic to Kibology, as are any and all manifestations of Discordia.
Nice sig, OP
Were there dogs, that when they barked, bees shot out of their mouths?
This happened about 1-2 miles from my new house. I was not notified until I saw it on the web yesterday. 
Um … notified? What do you call the smoke?
Smoke does me no good if I’m inside watching TV… I need a phone call or something!
Rotting meat? California? By any chance, was the CHP roasting some crab shells filled with sake over the smoldering wreck of burning rubber and diesel…?
