Where to go? I don’t know how to write anything anymore. My mind stays whirling, kind of like a limited slip differential in mud. One tire is spinning but the other one….
I don’t know what to think about how to market show stock in the current climate. It’s going to get better…but when. Well photographed hair still seems to sell well in the goat world.
On that note, aren’t there enough of us that remember glamour shots and how hair, makeup, lighting and camera angles can make one look better than they normally do? I don’t get it. The sheep people don’t even shear these young uns when they photo them. Normally in a pen with straw as the footing. The hog jocks might only snap one picture with a head up and nothing else, standing in wood chips. The cattle jocks, the people that invented all of this clipping, fitting, videoing, and dolling up crap…they don’t do anything special to get their show stock ready to sell. A minute long video of a clipped calf walking across a pen. BUT, these goat deals have to be glamoured to the hilt. Why is that? Way To Go goat folks.
I have seen several posts that involve an excerpt from a Dean Koontz book from 1981. Supposedly, this dude either knew what was coming, had a great imagination or just wrote a coincidence. I don’t know. I haven’t actually read the book just the excerpts that apply to today.
There is another book from some little known author named Stephen King. Yeah, that Stephen King. The scary movie kingpin that also had something to do with one of the best damn movies ever–The Shawshank Redemption. Since you all have time, I recommend that you read his book “The Stand”. Or go find the mini-series on some tv deal. It isn’t specific as to time and virus type but IT will make you think WTF is going on today. I actually like a lot of his writings, even though I don’t like scary crap. His stuff makes you think, it ties to real situations and normally involves a religious background while being non-denominational or political. Even though one will be thinking about religion and political affiliations. Way To Go!
Now, Where To Go? How about a joke? Kind of clean. But, relevant to the times.
A suspected covid-19 patient is lying in bed in the hospital, wearing an oxygen mask over his mouth and nose. A young, female nurse student appears and gives him a partial sponge bath.
“Nurse”, he mumbles from behind the mask. “Are my testicles black?’
Embarrassed, the young nurse replies, “I don’t know. Sir, I’m only here to wash your upper body and feet.”
He struggles to ask again, “Nurse, please check for me. Are my testicles black?”
Concerned that he might elevate his blood pressure and heart rate from worrying about his testicles, she overcomes her embarassement and pulls back the covers.
She raises his gown, holds his manhood in on hand and his testicles gently in the other. She looks very closely and says, “There’s nothing wrong with them. Sir, they look fine.”
The man slowly pulls off his oxygen mask, smiles at her and says very slowly. “Thank you very much. That was wonderful. Now listen very closely– Are -my- -test- -results- back?”
That story does not mean that you should wear a mask HOPING for somebody to misunderstand you.
