Blurgh, tell me the Disgusting Things You Must Do

@ZipperJJ: Just how many critters do you slaughter in that killing field you call a “back yard” so that the vultures have you on speed-dial?

…Until I looked down and noticed that I was driving over a dead deer carcass.
… if I’d left that mower deck down I think I’d be in the running.

That would have been one for the record books for sure! And would’ve easily beaten my best animal cuisinart story by a couple hundred lbs.

So this morning I killed my first mammal....

I’ve told the story before, but many years ago when I was learning to fly I killed a rabbit in midair with a Cessna. Airports unsurprisingly have lots of small critters: open spaces, lot of tallish grass, and no larger predators. So I’m landing one day and I’m a few seconds from landing when I spot a jackrabbit sitting on the runway just ahead, just beyond where I’m aiming to touch down. Being a benevolent sort, I adjust my aim up a bit intending to fly over him at a couple feet of altitude …

That whole thread from ~4 years ago has a bunch of entertaining animal corpses in it.
