Hey, folks, there really is a guar.
It's a bison-like beastie which closely resembles a cross between a
guernsey and a rhino (if I remember correctly, I only saw one once
many years ago at the Oklahoma City zoo). Anyway, it was colored like
a guernsey, but heavy and ponderous like a rhino.
Maybe that's why they call it a guar?
GUernsey And Rhino
And they really are on the endangered species list! However, I doubt
that their gums have anything to do with it.

Did anyone ever tell you that TARTAR SAUCE is made from mayonnaise, pickles, olives, capers, etc.? Don't you believe them! Go ask your dentist what tartar is! I can't think of a grosser substance to put on fish, even if it's my own! And watch for a new product coming out in the grocery stores... PLAQUE SAUCE. They figure if people buy tartar sauce, they'll buy anything. Plaque sauce comes in a variety of flavors: smokey beef -- made with plaque taken from the teeth of people who just ate hamburgers cooked on a weber with mesquite chips tuna -- made from plaque taken ... well you get the idea liver -- caviar -- mixed vegetables -- and best of all ... oreo -- this sauce has actual black bits of the real thing -- you know how that stuff gets stuck in and between your molars They may come out with 'chunky peanut brittle' but at this point, it would be too expensive to produce. -etan

Who would have thought that those cute little coyote's would ever get near extinction? Just like baby sealskins, if there's a profit to be had, it will get had, by gad! We saw that with the "ASCII bug" -- ASCIIentius Hydroptera, the microbial code converter. Gone within 7 years of its discovery. But it's not just creatures useful to the technocracy, it's also those that have found unique niches within it. I kid you not, man, I have read things about the Datamedia terminal ecosystem that you would not believe! They are talking about attacking actual *lifeforms* that find pasture and sustenance in the domains of a Datamedia terminal. Can you imagine? They are speaking of destroying the primordial digital ooze that seeps from its case! They want to commit specicide on the ONLY KNOWN colony of a light absorbing lichen! It boggles the imagination.
