They said we could use the kitchen.

I'm ready. I found a funny hat.

This grill needs to be cleaned before we can use it.

It needs to be cleaned?

More likely, It needs to be decontaminated.

I didn't think you were going to cook the meat.

It's safer with wild deer to clean and cook the meat thoroughly. It's very easy for a body to pick up parasites.

Even political bodies?

Especially political bodies. In those, the mass of the parasites often outweighs the mass of the host.

What's that?

This is the best part of any animal.

[!1.4]AAAHH! IT'S THE LIVER! YOU'RE GOING TO EAT BAMBI'S LIVER!

I used to enjoy mealtime conversations.

As soon as I can find some, I'm going to toss my cookies!

Eeew! Yuck! Gross!

Oh, hush. This is no different from what you guys do.

Haven't you ever visited a robot recycling yard?

Well, uhm…

Don't tell me you're one of those robots who faint at the sight of battery acid?

It's not my fault. I just have a sensible nature.

Something smells good.

Yeah, I think it comes from our place.

[!2.0]OH, CRUD!

The last time something smelled this good, the grease pit was on fire!

When you get scents like that coming from our kitchen, you know there's trouble!

[!1.5]TROUGH PARKING

Hello. Thanks again for letting me use your place.

Did you just see a wolf in a blue dress carrying a beautifully prepared grilled liver platter and prime cut of venison steak?

Yep.

We must be imagining things.

Right. No way food like that could ever come out of our kitchen.

Hi, Sam.

Hey, that's liver! How did you get a hold of that?

It's easy. You take the deer, slice open the belly, move the intestines to one side, then reach into the abdominal cavity and…

[!1.2]Urp!

I know just how he feels. With good food like this available, I'd purge my previous meal too.

Feeling better?

Yeah. Let's get moving.

Three bits of advice. Never talk about food with a carnivore. Never get sick in a space suit.

MEN

WOMEN

And most important, never occupy the stall needed by a guy being sick in a space suit!

WOMEN

What? People have actually been banned from “The Golden Trough”?

“Bruno Bunkleyutz. Banned for stealing customers.”

“Dave Schumacher. Banned for eating too much and failure to properly amuse a cat.”

“Sam Starfall. Reserved. Hasn't done anything yet, but we know he will.”

It's good to know that some people still have faith in me.

What's that song you're playing?

I don't know. I downloaded it from the net this morning and now I can't get it out of my head.

It's either a really catchy tune or a computer virus, I'm not sure which.
