Well considering it costs $3.80 to plant a bushel of corn and its selling for $3.40 a bushel. Then milk took a ten dollar dump (thanks mr president and China) and now beef is dropping. I'm gonna have to moonlight as a male escort again to pay the fines the EPA will impose after they are done screwing the good people of Akron, they have $250 monthly water bills. Considering all of the above, making tobacco sounds pretty nice.

I ran into this and thought of this thread...

Nate, I'm talking about just the plant. It's already in Mark Ryan's backyard, about the size of a small elementary school gymnasium.

I saw a homosexual goat just the other day. It was at the local Wal-Mart. I know he was a homosexual goat because he was buying Clay Aikins' christmas cd. :rofl:

Chrissake, you'd think with all this demand, they would have expanded their production line by now. I'm getting real suspicious it's artificial scarcity

I predict it will get a tad easier to get very soon, but from my understanding they are artisan blends made by hand.

I thought all the goats belonged to the Muslims? We all know they are GOAT FUCKERS!!!

See, I say something about getting rid of the cows and now I'm up all night dealing with cows.

 

[cosmicfolklore]

I'm not sure which is worse, cows or a Billy that threatens anything that moves during rut. For a few months out of every year, I can only deal with him if I have a golf club in my hand.

I'll trade your Billy for our oldest breeding bull. His name is Risky.
A story.

Back before I was old enough to know whats going on, the farm owned half of a breeding bull. A stud named Prince. Of course he got mean as hell. One day he got it into his mind he wanted to go after my uncle. Ended up breaking 2x6 boards to go after him and pinned my uncle to the ground. Luckily my dad and a couple employees were near and managed to get the bull off of my uncle. Probably would have killed my uncle if the bull didn't break his leg. Since the farm owned the bull along with another farm we had to load him in the trailer, take him down to THE Ohio State University (about 3 hours drive with trailer) to fix his leg. The bull then spent three months in a box stall and healed fine. We use metal pipes now instead of 2x6's for neck rails.
