what the fuck,here ?

I get up at 4am and the DishTV is fucked all the way to Damascus and back ...

I got 500 channels of bullshit in Arabic, Indian, and some kinda moonspeak-bullshit
I'm assuming is Korean, but fuck me if I know ...

the local network channels are working, but they are on a separate dish,
pointed at a separate satellite ....

anybody else got the DishTV and seeing this shit ?

if I wanted to know what the rest of the world was watching, I'd ... well, I'd ...
fuckit, I don't CARE what the rest of the world is watching, these cocksuckers ...

and it looks like it's some kinda of holy islamic package, anyway, a bunch of babbling mullahs
and chaste Indian soap operas .... why can't the DishTV fuck up and give me all those $14.99
one-time-view porno movies ?

not that I need that at 4:45am, I'm just sayin' ....

looks like it's back to 'normal' now ...

scared the bejesus outta me for a minute - thought my idiot brother's forwarded emails
mighta been correct, and them all-kaydahs had done infiltrated ...


I've seen the DishTV do some weird shit, mostly with screwed up programming info on the guide,
or dropping whole sections, like all the ESPNs or the deep-9000 educational channels, which is
understandable, but I ain't never seen nothin' like that there ....

MSNBC was an Indian "Antiques Roadshow" type-thing, CNN was motherfucking People's Republic of China
Official TV, and best of all, FoxNews was some screaming mullah, with a news-scroll with that squiggly-writing
going the wrong way across the bottom of the screen .... if I'da been a little more awake and thinking, I'da
ran the DVR on it for awhile ....

the program info still said "Fox in the Morning" or whatever; whatever the cross-up was didn't
affect the program guide; also, the pay-per-view porno channels were apparently unaffected ....


helluva way to start the day ....


also:
black angus cows are the dumbest animals on the face of the earth ....

Poor Papa Bear. But my question is why were you up at 4:00 in the morning? I know farmers have a long day but is that a normal time for you?

Oh, and don't worry..it was just Big Brother messing around with your head. They practiced the kill switch in my area the other day so they figured they might as well try the dish network in yours. Web or TV, they see you... :mrgreen:

nah, not really, man ...

black angus cattle are dumb as fuck ....I've been really pissed off that they've
replaced the whitefaced Herefords out here ... I wanted whitefaceds when
we started this little clusterfuck, but the deals on any herd numbers were all for
the angus .... hopefully, I can kill all these off by gross mis-management in the next
few years and get some camels ....

Massive quantites of Mezcal will cause halucinations. Trust me.

Yes, (well, no in my case :D ), but the hallucinagenic properties of Absinthe are due to the Wormwood, not the dop.

I've burnt Wormwood before and it had no noticeable effect on me-I've also drunk it in a tea.
(Probably because my head's so far out there in so-called normal mode.)

Maybe the dumber they are the more delicious they are :P (nah, even a dairy cow tastes good)

We like to raise brangus because they still put on weight in the heat of summer.

right, and maybe that's what irritates me .... beef is fucking beef, and the preparation is more
important than the breed of fucking cow ... it was the "demand" for angus beef from them
New York City "steak houses" that got everybody into it; now that there's so damn many of
them, there's no advantage in selling prices ... and the sheer stupidity of these animals does not
equal out any of their cost ...

All cows are pretty stupid, really. You can beat the crap out of one trying to get it to move, and it'll just stand there... not that I beat the crap out of cows or anything, but I have seen one practically choke itself to death because it wouldn't go in the pen after it had been roped. A cattle prod works like a charm, though.

There's no difference in the taste of the beef, but there is a difference in the shape of a cut of meat. Beef cattle have bigger muscles, so the steaks are bigger. Dairy cows are kinda tall and lanky.

There's a pretty decent difference in taste/texture between factory farmed beef and pastuered beef though. Plus, I'm a softy, I like the animal to have a good life before being slaughtered to please my tastebuds. :wink:

The difference you taste is the difference between grass fed and corn fed. Corn puts more fat in the meat. Also the less a cow moves around the more tender it will be. Factory farms are gross.

I only raise one or two at a time, in a small outdoor enclosure. They don't have a lot of room to run but they're not living chest deep in their own shit either.

I could see a group of aliens saying the exact same things about us.

Cows hardly need much room to romp, they're pretty happy as long as they're not in pain so I'm sure yours are thrilled to stand there and eat grass!
