“Let’s see these pasty-faced gutless wonders pour red paint on some leather clad bikers”
The Appalachian Trail access point is right next to the local biker dive.
During the summer, sometimes, the smelly hippies come in for ice and other sundries.
By the time they leave, they’re wall-eyed, cold sweating and pasty faced.
And we don’t even say anything.
We just...stare...and smile.
So far, not one peep about the yards of dead cow skin standing around in the place or the bloody burgers on the plates.
:)
I find this story to be a wonderfully illustrative example of the stupidity of these people.
About 1 BLOCK down the Street is the “Dairy Barn” where you can visit the Dairy herds that exhibitors have brought to Des Moines for the prestigious Fair competition.
These animals (and Dairy herds in general) are treated like no other livestock on the face of the planet. They are pampered, washed, brushed, and doted upon by their owners. They bring the little babies along to the fair and put up signs ASKING people to pet them, take photos, etc...because they want them to be docile and completely accepting of humans so that they grow up to be friendly cows.
The fact that they targeted the Butter Cow (which is created each year specifically to promote that industry)...is just hilarious. Of course, they could have “painted” some of cattle further down the Street...those that are bred to be future steak...but they would have had to deal with real animals and their very real owners (who often sleep overnight in the barns next to them).
Are they envisioning that they are going to “free” the pampered Dairy cows into the wild? That would be quite the event....the herd would probably find the nearest farm and politely ask to take up residence.
Keep up the good work.
