He's looks just like the Japanese kid on Glutton Bowl who ate 33 hot dogs in 5 minutes. He's just a tiny well muscled little boy. This is about the time dj's say something "witty" like "Say there's a guy named Tom there -- do you call him a Peeping Tom?" Then I say "hardy har har" or a nice Ed McMahon "heyoooo".

It's true! The eviscerate is sold to rendering plants for a protein additive. Dog food would be an example of a product that might have Culver Duck eviscerate in it. The blood is sold as blood meal for gardening purposes. The feathers are in high demand for down. The fat is sold for food service. Culver Duck fat is comprised of mostly polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats. That in itself would be enough to warrant the demand; but, the flavor of duck fat is indescribably delicious.
