Snake found in broccoli

Holy dinosaur! This is amazing.

When I saw this appear as an active thread, I thought surely someone must be pulling my drumstick.
 
Talk about beating a dead bird.

I do remember being baffled and more than a bit put off by CFL’s posts back when I started reading the forum.

Yeah, I used to take frequent extended breaks, like 7-8 month long breaks, from the forum in large part because of him and a couple others. He seemed to develop a sort of odd vendetta against certain posters, most of whom were fellow skeptics, not woos, and constantly insisted he understood American culture and the American idiom better than any Americans because he lived here for a short time. Got real old, real fast.
 
What did it for me was when he figured out the real life identity of one of the woo members and put up a series of "I know where you live" posts about which Randi and the mods did nothing.
 
Well, according to Bigfooters, Bigfoot has a Tapetum lucidum.

So, based on that, Snakes could have eyelids.

However, a legless lizard, which is often mistaken for a snake, does have eyelids.

Back when this thread was recent forum memory, I did fine one single pop culture instance of a human leg being called (derogatorily) a drumstick.

It's in the Simpson's episode "Flaming Moe's" (season 3, episode 10), the one where Homer tells Moe the recipe for a drink he'd invented and Moe takes the credit and gets (temporarily) rich from it. The flashback back story of how Homer invented the drink begins:

HOMER (VOICE OVER): One night, Marge’s beastly sisters were showing slides from their latest vacation.
[SLIDE of...]
SELMA: ...And this is Patty trying to plug her leg razor into one of those ungodly Czechoslovakian outlets.
[SLIDE of one of the sisters in a lounge chair wearing a bathing suit, revealing very hairy legs]
SELMA: As you can see, we never did get the hang of it.
BART: Ay caramba!
HOMER (VOICE OVER): As I stared up at that hairy, yellow drumstick, I knew I needed a drink.

I had until now only heard of him, but just read some of the threads linked in this thread
All I can say is

WOW

I would have had CFL on ignore pretty much immediately, and what I found disturbing was that when I was reading the NDE thread, Steve was the calm one, he cited facts and figures, gave links, did everything 'by the book' whereas CFL was the rabid attack dog type, constantly misrepresented Steve's case, setting up strawmen and generally was abusive and his posts content free

And he was one of Randy's favourites?
