ADOP A BAJA PELICAN

Skeet/Loreto - 9-27-2009 at 04:30 PM

Would you like to have an Adopted Pelican??

I can arrange for anyone to go to Baja Sur and have their Choice of Pelicans. These are lovable creatures, very Friendly.
You will be able to hold them, feed them, take pictures, and if you are brave enough sneak them across the Border.

I am not a Non Profit, but if any Profit is made on this Venture I will give it to Mulege Schools.

Cost: Your expense to San Nicholas, expense for the panga and Captian. Estimated at $100 a day.}


Be Adventureous! Do It Yourself!

I think Skeet has to supply that. He's too modest to admit it but, he's a one man cartel.

Skeet,
Pelicans are tough- you have to boil them for hours and they are still hard to chew. Even people in Taos know not to eat Pelicans!

Oh Skeet! You are one funny man!!How did you edit your spelling without the edit box??And I have to agree with Dennis, you are a one man cartel!!:o

Oh, of course they're tough.
How silly of me to forget! My Bad!!

Here's the correct way to prepare "Pelicano a la Plancha"


Pressure-cookerize their skinny hides for 10 minutes first,
then skewer the poor little buggers and throw 'em on the barbie.

Don't forget to tenderize and marinade in tequila
(no, not you Fool!! The bird, bendejos!)
or if you marinate in tequila, too, the afore-mentioned locoweed stuffing is optional.

.... and don't forget to pluck first-- again, that would be the bird. (god, I have to tell you guys everything!)


Written with tongue in cheek (that's me not the bird) and with apologies to Pelicans everywhere.

No! No! No!
They are to be adopted for the kids!

These beautiful Creatures are so lovable, Sweet, and Kind. They will help you clean your fish, taking the skins away from you along with the guts.

On all of My Adopted Trips I will not allow any eating of my Pelicans.

Paulina. How about a $110 Bucks for that beauty??

My father, a man of the cloth I might add, hated the buggers. Insisted that they would steal his bait, steal his catch and then poop on his boat. He named all of our pets after characters in the Bible - called pelicans "Jezebel".

Well, of course they are, Skeet. We know that. Who amongst us would grind up a Pelican for a meat loaf without putting some aside to make quarter pounders for the kids. That's how we always do it.
What they love almost as much is swinging that long beak with the head still attached at the Piņata we make by licking 10,000 Zig Zags and pasting them together in the shape of Mickey Mouse. Gawd...what fun.

It also helps to eat them with lots of ketchup!

Taco de Baja - 9-28-2009 at 08:53 AM

I wonder if they taste like chicken?......Probably not...:barf:

Just think of how much pitahaya fruit stuffing you could put in that pouch! Yummo!

I like the pelicans. It's their fleas that concern me.

I think they're lice.

All you sick people have it all wrong. To even joke about eating one of these fine creatures is just plane sick and demented.

It's not the Pelican meat that we should be interested in, it's the beak. I hear if you ground it up it will make certain members of your body strong like a mule!
