Somewhat unsettling VIDEO. Analysis needed. (No… not a liturgical abuse.)

Someone very thoughtfully sent this video.   This is a Komodo Dragon.  The meal is an adult goat.  No silverware.

Did I know that Komodo Dragons could do that?  No.  I did not.

This is little off beat for this blog, but I felt strangely compelled to share it.   There has to be a good analogy in here somewhere, puns about “getting your goat”, etc., aside.

One thought that came to mind involved a certain presidential candidate and the potential opponents.   Another was of a certain “large” chess pro and his opposition.  I have memories of consuming the Summa something like that when I discovered it in my 20’s.   It might foreshadow the relationship of a future Pope Clement XIV-II (XIV²?) and a certain Society which is now about as lively as that caprine canapé.   As for that Society, I sense a similar but rather longer lasting and very much hotter experience of being devoured if major changes are not effected.

    Upon seeing a Komodo Dragon do a Komodo Dragon thing I have realized that -40 Celsius in Canada is not so bad.

    Japanese comedienne “Ayako Imoto” [young sister Ayako] being chased by a komodo dragon. This was one of the “funny” game shows on Japanese TV. They tied a piece of meat to her and she had to outrun the dragon!!

    I think I need some Brioschi after viewing that.

    I wonder what drink would be the most appropriate chaser for that meal?
