It's not a typo. "CSS" is Eric's middle name.

Better: The 2000 World Forecasts of Edible Offals of Bovine, Sheep, Goat, Poultry, Horse and Ass Meat Export Supplies by Sheep, Goat, Poultry, Horse The Edible Offals of Bovine, Ass Meat Research Group; or this opus by Chilled and Frozen Horse and The Fresh.

The world forecasts of eible offal for two years ago cost over $300. If we measure how much offal was eaten that year maybe we can check the accuracy of their forecasts and decide if future editions are going to be worth the expense.

Actually, I'm not sure I'd trust the findings of the Ass Meat Research Group.

"Chilled the Fresh, et al" would be a great rap group name.

"Ass Meat Research Group" would be too, come to think of it. Baby Got Back, anyone?

Well, I hope Amazon approves my review of The 2000 World Forecasts of Edible Offals of Bovine, Sheep, Goat, Poultry, Horse and Ass Meat Export Supplies. The price may seem steep, folks, but trust me: it's that good. Five stars!

For posterity, then: yes, they did (scroll down). I am surprised, to say the least.
