And you can be in charge of unloading them.

I think this whole thing is just a back-door way to attack people who like eating beef. Start slaughtering cows with no replacement. Beef prices will drop at first, then rise astronomically. Turning everyone into a Vegan is the agenda behind the agenda.

Thanks for the ping billhilly, that has to be one of the funniest things I've read in a while.

I bookmarked it to send to all my friends later, since I am preparing to leave for Reelfoot Sunday to enjoy one of those catastrophic event results that has had a good ending -- the best crappie fishing and duck hunting found anywhere.

Gosh, when did they recruit PETA members to serve on UN committees?

My God. I wish I could be with you at Reelfoot. This is the time of year that the Mallards, and all of the other Mississippi flyway ducks are at the peak. Sometimes they make great clouds as they circle in the sky.

Remember Floyd while you are there.

This was pretty funny.

Yesterday, I got into my eeeevil SUV, after I preheated it for about 5 minutes, and drove to the store and got a flat iron steak.

Stuffed it with mushrooms, onions, red peppers, and broiled it. The impact I had on the climate was well worth it :-)

Or we'll all be up to our necks in melted glaciers, in which case we'll all ride cows to work.

There is nothing that compares to comfy leather. We get to ride First Class, while the whacko's paddle a Naugahyde sofa.

You're making me hungry!!!!!

I read another post by you about the flat iron steak.

I'll do my part to eliminate as many of these gas producing, evil, bovine planet destroying, non-native creatures as I can.

Maybe then I'll qualify as an "environmentalist."

I consider myself to be somewhat of a PLF (Plant Liberation Front) activist myself. I can't stand the destruction of all those helpless fields of corn, beans, and other veggies.... makes me sick to think of the eeevil exploitative things that like them.

So, I do my best to go after the critters that devour them, namely cow, pig, various birds, deer, and hopefully soon moose, caribou, and buffalo (if I can get a draw in the future) :-)

Hilarious.

That said, writing software to operate trains is pretty darn fun. The rest of his nice little dystopia sounds appropriately awful though.

Save the planet, eat a cow!
