#2 This is the result of an overly effective endangered species protection program for the Canadian Goose. The stupid things no longer bother to migrate, and there are so many that I've ceased to worry about a protein shortage should the world come to an end.

#3 Plenty of them around here. They walk around like they own the place...and crap like dogs.

#4 We have what my life and daughter call 'the lake' behind our house (it's a retention pond but I get a dirty look every time I call it that). For 3 seasons a year we have more geese than I could eat in a lifetime. They're fearless and they do indeed own the joint.

#6 Fairly dumb too. My stepfather had some geese and we had just changed the oil on one of his cars. The goose went up, looked at the coffee-can of oil and then dunked his head in it. Had a layer of dirty motor oil from the neck up.

We thought it was funnier than hell.

#7 I had a goose. She slept with the dogs and chased cars with them.

#8 "They're fearless and do indeed own the joint" > iff they're like the Gooseys I'd seen here in Guam and the USA, YOU BETCHA. I've seen large mean dogs cower before the Power of Geese.

#9 JFM, I just googled it for you. Here you go:

Roast Goose with Cumberland Sauce and Apricot Stuffing.

Cooked my first goose on New Year's Day. It was a different recipe but very good stuff. Much more flavorful than turkey.

#10 Any minute now PETA will be re-classifying geese as "air kittens".
