That is sheer, tact, Brian. All you gotta do is blog about it and voila! Next thing you know you’re raising a sausage king. Kym can’t blame you. After all, you’re not calling him it. Everyone else is.

Man makes a shovel or a shovel is a measure of a man ?

Right on Brian, I thought Damon would jump right on this story. His grandpa Jack C. was the ultimate shovel man. He had his personal shovel and you’d better not touch it. He would give you the shirt of his back, lend you anything he had, jump in and help you or do it for you. But never touch his shovel. I think everyone that tried to use his shovel had Jack tune them up to the point of wetting themselves.

He was a very good farmer and his shovel was his main tool - an extension of his arm. If he wasn’t in his truck or on his tractor he had it ready for work. I saw him cut a weed that was so close to a plant a Japanese Gardner would have had to of been on his knees to accomplish that feat. He was the master of irrigation. He could set a stream of water while I was getting my boots on. Digging headers or pulling furrows through, there was none better. Jack was named farmer of the year once so I can say he had shovel of the year also.

He kept his shovel sharp as a razor and expected everyone to do the same. I can still hear him saying as he checked my shovel “what you doing with that club?” To him a sharp shovel was a shovel a dull one was a club. A sharp shovel will cut so much better than a club, and that means it takes less energy to do the same work.

Nothing I have written is news to a farmer -for that matter any craft is made easier by having good tools that receive good care. So in closing “YES BRIAN YOU ARE A STRONG MAN IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE”

Treebeard would be proud to know that one of his relaltives has been found. That Juniper is probably 300 years old. Now we need to craft into something that will pay tribute to the ages and the hands that have touched its trunk; from the Almighty creator on down to us little chumps. I’m serious bro! we are going to make something grand…

The Colonel is coming to your blog? Mmmm, I love chicken. If you get a chance try to get his secret recipe. Or an even better question is whether he loves his original recipe or rotisserie more.

Mandi, I don’t know about righteous, but I am right. I know that I said I wouldn’t offer any more market commentary here, but I was honestly alarmed and felt that my friends should be notified of the situation. Not surprisingly, six days later, the Pres. of U.S.A. formally informed the public that a crisis was at hand. The “critical mass” is the same that I’ve been warning about since 3/2007 (when I suggested buying gold, which was 650/oz and is now 850/oz [a 25% increase] and contrasts sharply with the broad market [down 20% in the same time frame]). The cool thing about this blog is that it demonstrates 100% accuracy in my reporting. I think my audience will be hard-pressed to find equal results anywhere else. Then again, it’s just money. Important events that I hope to blog about soon are the arrival of my sister’s twins and the Colonel. I’ll get the picks up soon!

Kym, don’t you mean June 27th? That’s the problem with opinions.

I know how much you like cutting down wood with power tools, but Abraham and I kind of think that June 26 of this year was pretty awesome. Ah, the trouble with superlatives.

Comment on Should I Help These Good People from West Africa? by Iver Anderson

How can people laugh at such a sad story as this one? Bloggers can be so coldhearted. My heart is touched by this and I for one feel inclined to help these poor, unfortunate creatures of God. Of course, 20% is just too little for such an altruistic act of benevolence. However, it’s a good start. For such an act of generosity and sameritanism, I would require at least 45%….and some stake in those diamond mines.
It’s hard to be so noble.

YOU’RE RICH! YOU’RE RICH! … let’s see, how should WE spend the money? I have plans, my brother…oh, how I have plans. Please move forward with this transaction, POST HASTE!

BTW, if I were you I would surely give them my real bank account number - maybe even my savings account!

Wait! Miracle of MIRACLES! I was just notified that, I just won the lottery in the Netherlands!

OH, HAPPY DAY - NOW we are both rich!

…truly the gods have smiled on us!

Justin is amazing. Who knew that there was a website designed, not just to alert you to the scam (like snopes), but to retaliate against it? Only the infomaniac whom I’m proud to be related to. Wanna see the future? Check out his blog: justincaldwell.org (also conveniently located in the column on the right of this site).

For heaven’s sake, help them! It appears that after the “brake out of war”, their prostates were attacked.

Or you could ask him to send photos with a loaf of bread on his head.

Either way.
