LOL JILL I love the way the skunk tail forms a question mark . . .like ya never can tell WHAT's avaiable . . .
A radio show I listen to has a comical 'faux-pas' commercial, with cute music, for 'Bert's' road kill, where you can get 'Tortellini' and a complete set of bowls... then this mother asks, "Timmy, how's that possum?" and he shouts, "Awsum!", and at Bert's they promise you won't even see the tire marks . . .

I heard of these guys that marked all the roadkill on their way hunting, that way if they saw anything unmarked on the way back they knew it was fresh stuff and good to go. I kinda contributed to roadkill one day at the shop. I saw a gal hit a deer and a bunch of people stopped to check it out. The thing was hurtin' pretty bad so I went into the house to get my gun, it only took a few seconds but everyone except one guy was gone when I returned. Anyway I called Wolfhaven, a local wolf resort or something and told them there was a fresh one at the shop. It was gone a hour later but maybe I should have cooked it up.

Hey Sheila, cool commercial. But it got me thinkin', see. Why hide the fact that it's roadkill? A real enterprisin' feller might be able to cut some long zig-zag shape pieces of metal out with a plasma cutter. The pattern of each one is like unto a tire tread. Put alot of 'em parallel, and you got a grill that imparts a roadkill look to everything! Oh Joy!
In time, people will come to accept it. By sheer repitition, the government has people believin' all sorts of stuff, so you know it works.
Now all I need to add here is something religious(gasp!). I got it: That missionary with the soup joke. I wouldn't be at all surprised if I told this here before, if so, sorry. (Mammas don't let yer babies grow up to be dopers, they'll fergit all sorts of stuff...)
So there's this missionary see, he's out on his first 5 year stint. They serve him a bwl of soup, but in it is a live fly. He loses his appetite, doesn't eat the soup.
Six years later, he's there on his second 5 year stint. They serve him a bowl of soup, again it has a live fly in it. This time he carefully removes the fly and eats the soup.
Eleven years later, he's there on his third 5 year stint. Again, he's served a bowl of soup. This time it has no fly. In disgust, he hastily snatches a fly out of the air and tosses it into the soup, then he can eat it.
The other day, I saw a plastic container of M&M's. I was about to eat a few, but my wife warned me that they had been spilled on the floor. I told her that we've had so many things dropped on the floor, that these are like the missionary and the fly. Do something long enough, and it becomes acceptable.
Now where's a plasma cutter???

Back again, I actually had the following conversation earlier today, but I must've been so excited about the tire tread grill that I fergot. (mamas don't let...)
I was telling a friend about how we just got two free roosters from freecyleknoxville. (Freecycle is an internet site where people give away stuff they're no longer using. They're in a lot of cities.) My son's roosters had died, and he needed a replacement so that his hen's eggs would be fertile.
Anyway, my friend said that if I needed farm animals, I should just take out an ad in the paper that says: will pick up unwanted farm animals.
He said that when he was young, he lived on a big farm, but had no animals of his own. So he took out the above ad. He said people will call about all sorts of animals. Pigs, goats, chickens, cows, even mules.
I quickly realized most of those critters are on the dinner list as it is, so I should take out an ad myself. All that's left is to figure out the wording: "Will take unwanted farm animals. This is not a rescue service. WE EAT FARM ANIMALS!-YUMM!"

Now I have another good reason to get that plasma cutter. Ever since we went to see Dan in BC there has been this joke about Jim getting a plasma cutter for the farm. I was teasing him the other day and he grinned and said - "You have more toys than a spoiled only child already", which is true because when Dad passed away he left an entire woodworking shop to me including a lathe.
Seriously though, your idea (if original) is a great one. Road kill grills would be a hot seller with the young 'uns around here. Great grad gift LOL.

Kelly, I thougfht about that mass marketing bit myself. Didn't George foreman get his name on a grill? Well, this one might be peddled to the classic rock crowd by none other than Jimi Hendrix. If I recall, he had a song called "crosstown traffic". In it are the lyrics: "...tire tracks all across your back, I can see you've had your fun...".

Sheila, sung to which tune? All I can think of is the Beatles song: "...blackbird singing in the dead of night..."
