Of course, if the squirrel had been processed by stainless steel
spokes, no lead contamination would have occurred.

A lead blender? Hmmm.... I'm no metallurgist, but, uh, I don't see
lead tines making quick work of ice cubes for long.
Nor am I a hunter, so I'll have to ask. Are squirrels typically hunted
with something akin to birdshot? Is that shot not made of lead? In
fact, "put it through a lead blender" sounds like a Spillane-esque way
of saying that you hit a squirrel with too big a cartridge.
BTW, this thread is very much on topic, as Ringwood has some great
mountain biking. It's a popular destination for NYC folk as it's one
of the closer places for "real" riding. Didn't know that it's a toxic
dump. Great.
