Flagged for removal

Calling all carniverous sorts. If you've never tried making your own beer can chicken, you should be shot and roasted with a beer can up your ass. It is one of the easiest, and most delicious meals I've learned how to concoct. Even my incredible vegetarian friend, Melinda will confirm this. One night, after a huge feast of BCC, (beer can chicken) my dear friend Melinda asked if she could have my carcass. Well the chicken's carcass, rather. When I asked what a vegetarian like herself would need a chicken carcass for, she rattled off a list of practical uses like making a stock (she cheats), making meat shakes for her dog, fashioning a whimsical hat etc. I agreed to give her the carcass and she volunteered to pick it up the next day. A few days and text messages later the carcass was still sitting happily in my freezer, which prompted me to post the following on Craigslist. The post was promptly and unceremoniously "Flagged for removal". I suppose I'm lucky I didn't have the Phoenix police department banging down my door demanding to know where the remains were.
