You're kind of funny. First off Ted Nugent is an underrated guitarist he has been bashed by rolling stone magazine (which is actually a compliment in my opinion.) for his political views and given no credit for his music ability. All you would need to do is listen to the Penetrator Album the Damn Yankees albums, or the soundtrack to the Pierce Brosnan movie "Nomads" if you weren't convinced by earlier works. That said I am not really that big of a Ted Nugent fan so I would hardly call him an idol nor would I call any other guitarist an Idol.

But if you want to go down that road fine my influences are actually guys Like Ritchie Blackmore (it's his birthday in 45mins as I right this....hows THAT for your frackin idol worship?) of Deep Purple ,Rainbow and Blackmore's Night fame, Michael Schenker of UFO, MSG and Scorpions Fame (FYI mr. nugent fan, Ted's old singer Derek St. holmes sang for MSG for a while.) Uli jon Roth who replaced Michael Schenker in the Scorpions and his brother Zeno. There's a few others but most are from across the pond.

I mentioned I was an omnivore and therefore a predator I did not separate myself from being part of the food chain with that statement. However I will try really hard to not lose any sleep over worrying about big cats and crocodiles (and whatever else you mentioned.) trying to eat me. Being that I live near Orlando I even try really hard to not worry about killer whales in bath tubs trying to eat me.

finally if you are trying to instill some fear in me about my dying early from what I eat don't waste your breath (I hear CO2 is bad for the environment.) I at some point will die I have no idea how it could be 5 minutes from now it could be tomorrow it could be 50 yrs from now I have no idea nor do I care. It is a fact of life. Considering how I live on caffinated soda (which is mostly sugar...a plant product.) that is just as likely to kill me as eating meat will. Living long is not all it is cracked up to be btw . I worked a retirement community where I watched people who lived very long lives and in the end their brains turned to jelly and they crapped themselves until they kicked off (usually in January after the holidays...they drop like flies.) I have since told many of my friends and relatives that if I start to slow down mentally I hope something eats me before I get to that point (I keep water monitors...several of them) . I still stand by that statement which come to think of it makes yours about things eating me in some attempt to shock me kind of lame.

Last but not least no thanks on the triple fried meat I prefer mine lightly browned on the outside and very much bleeding on the inside.
