[The 6 greatest British bards of all time](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-6-greatest-british-bands-of-all-time/1007019)

The Bard of Avon? Caedmon? William Blake? I named three before reading the title properly.

_Somebody_ had to say it. 😉

We haven’t had a good SDMB in-group meme for a long time. Nothing currently resembles the bygone popularity of “for 20 minutes”, “1920s death ray”, etc., of old.

Maybe “ass-eels” is the 2024 addition to that aging collection of bygone memes that will revitalize the fun.

[Any cannibal hobbyists here?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/any-cannabis-hobbyists-here/1007248)

While I do enjoy barbecuing many different types and cuts of meat, I haven’t tried ‘long pig’ yet. It’s a very difficult meat to source, and I’m not really a hunter, especially when it comes to the most dangerous game.

We never got an opportunity to use them (or even open the box they came in) before she died, so I brought them to Oregon with me when I transferred. I have, of course, unboxed them since I moved into an apartment last year, and have used them pretty frequently.
