2017: When Cows Roamed the Earth – Before Ethanol

Big Bone Lick, KY (Strutts News Services) – According to Thursday’s MSWikipedia update, before ethanol depleted the corn crop in the US, cows, pigs and chickens were as big as barns.

Back as early as the 1990’s, one cow could provide enough milk and butter for a township of 1,000 or more. Now that ethanol is more profitable than producing corn for feed, the wheat crop has been eradicated as well. Citrus and tomato crops were outlawed in 2012, when President ProTem Chelsea Clinton, by fiat, mandated that only fermentable federally-approved grain be produced on the same soil.

A side note: Suet lamps are coming under scrutiny, and are becoming scarce, except on the black market. You can get ’em as cheap as 6,540 euros if you look for the bargains.

Saturday Matinee: Gone With The Wind

Necessary? Yes. Fun? Ditto. Sophomoric humor? You betcha.

Here’s another blast from the past…

Cap’n Kirk steps on a duck.

This guy is amazing. Prolly retired and living off of royalties by now.

I’m gonna leave you with this related video. Gotta go open a window. Later.

Missing Cat – “Plato”

Looks like one of ours, named “Plato.” No idea how he made it all the way to Hollywood, though. I’d call, but Verizon won’t let me dial magic marker black without paying a premium.

Fooooooooooosball

When Bunky was foosball savvy (won 3rd place in an invitational in Pampa Texas in 1982) he liked the keeper position and could score with bank shots. Good thing there are enough beer holders on THIS table ’cause it’s gonna be a long game. No  keeper bank shot goals here.

“PHWEEET! Everybody Out of the Pool!”

Russian single-occupant jacuzzi comes furnished with its own life guard. We won’t EVEN speculate on how it’s heated, where the water jets are, or why it bubbles occasionally. You’re on your own with this one, folks.
