I knew someone who smoked a lizard. The following is quoted from
alt.punk:

"He put the lizard in a wire mesh popcorn popper, and killed it by
smoke inhalation. He spent what seemed like a half hour or whole hour
drying it over the fire. He put it in this one guy's tobacco pipe and
lit it, puffing until he produced puffy lizard smoke. Then he took a
huge hit and blew it out in everyone's face who was there. Except
me. I knew him well, and suspected that he was going to attempt to
share the experience. I had backed away.

When I asked him what it tasted like, he shrugged in a matter of fact
way and said, 'Lizard.'"

The guy was the drummer for Drunks With Guns, an insane St. Louis post-
hardcore band.
