If Abbie Hoffman were alive today...

Way to go Tuatara,
I give thanks that some of our culture did not surcumb to the temptations of evil and greed.
In all my years in the Haight, and all the people I knew back then. I only know 1 couple that is still together and that's Bernerd and Judy. They were very cool people and did a lot for me and my boy Jomie. ( if your listening I love you guys and thank you from the bottom of my heart).

I had to get back to The Garden.. I was in danger of losing my soul to the drug demon.
I was rowdy and ten feet tall. I wasn't caring a gun, but I did have a switchblade in my pocket and had used it.
I didn't like the badass me that I was becoming. I was a Flower Child. I was on a quest to find GOD and found the devil instead. But facing the demon opened my eyes and I got the hell outta me. I changed my mind and took a left turn and got back on my path. I belive that I would be dead by now if I would have contenued on the path i was traveling. My babies saved me. My love for them overpowered any demon that challenged me. I laid the drugs down before they took my soul. It wasn't hard. I had so much to replace them with. The love of my family is worth far more than being a drug addict any day of the week. Some learn in life some learn in death. Life is better.
Brightest Blesings

Isn't a "female cow" redundant? I was raised on a farm, too, and a heifer is a cow that has never had young--look it up.


Actually, we had 60 head of sheep and if God put anything dumber with four legs on this earth , I don't know what it is. Even a goddamned possum can feed itself. To this day, I won't eat lamb or mutton; it makes me ill to smell it. Jesus, I hated those fucking no-brain, B.B.-shitting , stinking, escape-artists. The fuckers would eat nightshade and die, stand in a herd, not running, while dogs ate them alive, get loose in the middle of the night so I had to herd them home. The goddamn rams would try to kill us, the ewes would keep us up in the middle of the winter birthing, every spring we had to dock tails and de-nut the rams-- AND THE WHOLE FUCKING TIME THEY HAD THAT SHEEPY-STENCH OOZING FROM THEM!

Thank God every one I ever knew is long dead! Would that their memories were too.

 

Must be something to do with what part of the farming community your'e from. My dad always called them first calf heifers, and in the sale papers, and at the livestock sales that's what they called them too. There even appears to be such a thing as a SECOND calf heifer in those parts...

Oh, and you forgot SHEEP LICE. And fishing the bitches out of the multiflora rose bushes when they get all tangled up... And standing out in the rain getting pneumonia when they could be in the barn if they weren't so DAMN stupid!

 

Yeah, probably a local thing, but I'm going to check the dictionary anyway.BTW, speaking of sheep my friend's father was almost killed by a ram. He was in his late 70's, fixing fence by himself in the winter,when a ram knocked him down and broke his leg. My friend was at a wedding reception when his mother called. He found his dad trying to crawl through the pasture in the cold. After he accompanied his dad to the hospital, he went home and shot the ram. He should have shot the whole goddamn shebang--the wool isn't worth squat-- but he makes too much money selling the male lambs to the local Greeks who eat them at Easter.

 

Went head to head with one when i was 5,left a circuler ring on my forehead with a lotta little bumps from where his antlers had been cut off,then there was the time i was kicked by an ostrach...how many of you can say that?

 

Not I. I ate ostrich burgers once tho. And chased a pair of emus with the car. Boy, they're fast, and stupid too. They would NOT get out from in front of the car, just ran down the middle of the road for almost a half mile...
Been stepped on by a horse, chased out of the pasture by a bull. Attacked by roosters, geese, and turkeys. Spit on by a llama. "Ridden" by a cow in heat, and pissed on by billy goats. AND broke a 2x4 over a rams head one time, then ran like hell... Fuck a bunch of farmin'... I made a Tee shirt that said that on it, with a picture of a farmer on a stump doin' the wild thing with the sheep...

I suppose Abbey would have liked this conversation.

 

Sloth Outta Here!

 

Just a reminder Gate68--sheep have horns, they're permanent; deer have antlers, they shed them every spring.


Baa, baa, black sheep, have you any.... Thudly leans over the fence...BOOM! Silence in the pasture.

 

i knew i'd get that wrong'oh well.It still hurt.
Our emu died on our front porch waiting for my wife to get home.Just sat there and fried.Then our pot bellied would get real friendly when her time of the month came around.Then there was my daaaad(ol farmer joke).

 

Thass alright, Gate-- we all make mistakes. For example, I once thought I was wrong, but I was mistaken.
