The boxing business certainly can be a dog-eat-dog world. That's something world champion Manny Pacquiao should know.

For Pacquiao, boxing actually is a man-eat-dog proposition.

The Filipino fighter, a champ at multiple weight classes, got into the sport while trying to escape crushing poverty. And what was it that finally pushed Pacquiao to become a boxer?

"That's why Manny ran away from home and became a boxer," said his trainer, Freddie Roach, according to England's Daily Star. "He saw his dad eat his dog. The Philippines is a poor place; there's no welfare, no health system, and if you don't have a job or money, then ...

"Manny was 14. He was very upset, and that's why he ran away from home. He ran away to Manila and ended up in a boxing gym."

And your point would be what exactly? When people are starving they'll eat anything?

[indigo]

Was the breed of the dog a boxer? I know, bad taste.

[Don]

I've eaten dog. I've also eaten Raccoon Opossum, horse, kangaroo and Squirrel. They are all animals right?
So what was the point of this thread again?

I don't tend to eat food that isn't fairly ordinary. The worst experience I've had as an adult was eating a little cube of Sashimi. The taste was ok, but that cold, nasty, snotty texture almost found it's way back up. I was literally running for the trash can.

I won't say on a message board whether or not I've eaten that. I don't know why not, this thread is doomed anyway.

I'm sorry, but this thread right here about the "pussy" reference Actually, my ex-finance years ago wouldn't pet pussy much less eat it and oh, yea, okay, nevermind...

I took this thread as a story about how close this boy was to his pet and when his father probably ate the dog from hunger, Manny could never bring himself to eat his own "animal" whether he was hungry or not. Is this thread an attempt to show that just becasue Manny is in a primarily poor country he valued his pet more than he valued his appetite? Is that right or as per usual, am I confused?

lol...this is too fucking funny. I'm choking on my water....

Keep at it then.

You must have had a bad piece. I could eat good sashimi and sushi until the cows came home.

I don't know. The taste was ok, just the texture. Very close to raw oysters. Not sure why anyone wants to eat those either.

Would this thread have to do with a past comment about another person from the same country ..........

We are lucky in the USA that we don't have to eat our pets. I'm sure that if one of us got hungry enough, we would go into survival mode and eat a dog if that was all we had access to. I hope we never have to find out. I'd much rather have a leg of lamb than a leg of pomeranian.

That issue ?

Old reference to another thread by the person who started this thread. Maybe no corrilation, but simular theory.... Liam have you not given up on that whole mess?

[Red13JoePa]

this bullshit is like clockwork.

[Saint John]

I've eaten dog. I've also eaten Raccoon Opossum, horse, kangaroo and Squirrel. They are all animals right?

I've had snake, buffalo, sparrow, kangaroo, squirrel, turtle, and ostrich, to name a few of the odder cuisines. I'd like to try dog and raccoon, but I'll just stick to killing oppossums as I hate those ugly little fuckers.

So what was the point of this thread again?

It's two-fold. It's a lame attempt to mask frustration over Arnel's success and the fact that a lot of people were dead wrong about his singing abilities, and the old "Hey, remember me?" routine. This is nothing more than a tired and lame attempt to start a volatile thread.

[Voyager]

This is nothing more than a tired and lame attempt to start a volatile thread.

Exactly. Let's leave the payt-pooh-lee stuff in the past. It didn't help anyone.

It helped Arnel. He read that garbage and I think it made him work harder. Oh, the irony!

[Andrew]

:roll:

Exactly.

Bullshit post designed to cause trouble, from someone that pops in every few weeks with a similar adgenda.

I'm glad folks are laughing this off, but Liam.....I don't give a rats ass who in this world eats what, I know what you are doing and one more post like this EVER and it will be your last here.

I did mention on this thread that only a small percentage of Pinoys eat dogs and the majority find the act disgusting. Take this story and the Pacquiao household as an example. While the old man eats dog, his son Manny doesn't. In fact, Manny left his loved ones and lived on the street just to show his disgust for what his father did. Most Pinoys would feel the same way and some would have done the same thing if a similar incident happen to them.

...of course an idiot would conclude that because Manny's dad, who is a Filipino, eats dogs, then the entire Pinoy population must be dog eaters too. Since Arnel is Pinoy, then surely "Arnel eats dogs"

He just posted it wanting an uproar on this thread. Unfortunately, for him, it didn't work. No one really fell for it.

And in other news...


Hummingbird Back At Feeder Again, Grandmother Reports
The grandmother of six wonders if the small bird will return for supper.

DES MOINES, IA—Area grandmother Eileen Lankford, 82, announced Tuesday that a hummingbird, which she has reported seeing on multiple occasions in the past several weeks, was back at the birdfeeder outside her kitchen window.
"My little friend was back today," said Lankford, who has spent the past three afternoons periodically looking out the window to check if the hummingbird had returned. "We had a very nice time together."

In a series of voicemail messages and notes to her children, Lankford informed them that the hummingbird stopped by her home at approximately 12:05 p.m. "I was waiting around all morning, and then suddenly there he was," Lankford said. "I thought the little fellow would fly off right away, but no, he decided to stay for a meal." Lankford ate a chicken salad sandwich wrapped in a napkin while watching the bird.

Referring to the hummingbird as her "special visitor," Lankford said she was impressed by the bird's appetite, noting that he "certainly liked to get his tiny beak in there." Lankford was reportedly delighted that the hummingbird found the food to be appetizing, though she did express concern that the small creature might choke from eating so quickly.

Lankford confirmed it was the same hummingbird that had made previous appearances at the feeder, claiming she recognized it by its handsomeness.
"He is quite dapper, and has such a lovely color," Lankford said. The hummingbird sighting is only the latest in a series of events that has prompted Lankford to compose handwritten letters to her loved ones. In the past year, the grandmother of six has alerted her family members to such occasions as the blooming of the tulips, the blooming of the azaleas, the first dusting of snow, and her birthday.

Although she called it "a shame" that the hummingbird could not stay at the feeder for more than 15 minutes, the recently widowed Lankford acknowledged that the busy bird probably has a family of its own it needs to care for. "He flaps his wings so much," Lankford said. "I don't know how he does it without stopping to take a nap, my goodness." Lankford, who received the birdfeeder as a Christmas gift from her two granddaughters in 2005, said her late husband John used to fill the feeder every morning with an artificial nectar solution of water, white granulated sugar, and red food coloring. According to Lankford, a neighbor boy she hired to mow her lawn now performs the task, though on several occasions he has accidentally spilled the solution on the ground.

"I just wish he'd be a little more careful," Lankford said. "That food is for the hummingbirds, not the bees and the ants." Lankford has experienced a number of other setbacks with the birdfeeder in the past few months, including mold forming inside the apparatus, and the wind blowing it to the ground. The feeder, however, sustained no permanent damage, and was able to be restored to its proper position three weeks later when Lankford's son visited to install her bedroom air conditioner. The hummingbird's appearance marks the most notable event to take place in Lankford's backyard since May, when Lankford reported seeing a cat she didn't recognize.

Although the small bird has not returned since Tuesday, Lankford plans to remain stationed in the kitchen until two hours past dusk each night to ensure that she does not miss it.

"I hope he comes back again soon," Lankford said. "Every time I see him frolicking around, it makes me smile."
"He's so full of life," she added.
