The weather people are a whole lot like goat reproductive technicians. \u00a0Their success rate isn’t always very good BUT, they still get paid. \u00a0Right or Wrong. \u00a0We ended up in an ice hole around here. \u00a0And they weren’t calling for it. \u00a0At least the wind wasn’t blowing.<\/p>\n
I lose track if this is a goat website, ag teacher blog, NW OK weather report, movie\/music critic or foodie site. \u00a0In the end, it really doesn’t matter. \u00a0If you don’t like what you are reading, go read somebody else’s stuff.<\/p>\n
It is about time to start peeling some hair off some wethers and see if my hands have been lying to me. \u00a0Might wait till the weather warms up a bit. \u00a0I don’t know if any kid from Shattuck will ring a big bell at the shows this year. \u00a0But, the stock looks good, in all 4 species. \u00a0At this point in time, if you feel like you still got a chance, well, you still got a chance.<\/p>\n
Several are trying to make strides on feeding and fitting while others are working to step their game up on the showmanship scene. \u00a0In the end, I like the effort and I like the stock. \u00a0I hope some get some hardware to validate their work. \u00a0No matter, (win, lose or dang, I didn’t see that coming) \u00a0the journey is important.<\/p>\n
Been hooked up and busy dealing with Shattuck FFA stuff. \u00a0I really can’t complain as I have gotten to deal with some top shelf kids and adults. \u00a0Although, I have had to deal with a computer program quite a bit. \u00a0FAET. \u00a0Yep, that makes it a four letter word.<\/p>\n
Weather–check. \u00a0Goats–check. \u00a0FFA–check. \u00a0Hang on dudes, lets keep the randomness flowing. \u00a0Unless, it freezes up like a faucet at the ag farm with an undrained hose still hooked up to it.<\/p>\n

Iconic movie roles.<\/p>\n
If I ever turn the keyboard over to somebody, there might be a strong chance that Tom Kester could do it. \u00a0That dude must not be right in the head.<\/p>\n
Roles that nobody else could properly play. \u00a0One in mind, is Stephen the mad Irishman on Braveheart. \u00a0Great character. \u00a0“He wasn’t right, n the head.”<\/p>\n
There are several actors that play iconic roles–that IS what they do. \u00a0Tom Hanks, Kevin Costner, John Wayne & Harrison Ford.<\/p>\n
Then there are those that have had excellent careers but they have played a role or two that NOBODY else could do better.<\/p>\n
For example, Rocky. \u00a0Sure, Sly Stallone is a fallible actor. \u00a0But none of us would change the original Rocky character. \u00a0It works.<\/p>\n
Bad guys–How about Al Pacino as Tony Montana in Scarface? \u00a0He killed that role. \u00a0Or Anton Chiggur in No Country for Old Men.<\/p>\n
Cops–Jerry Orbach in Law & Order. \u00a0He made that series. \u00a0How about Frank Drebin in the Naked Gun flicks?<\/p>\n
Samuel L. Jackson as Jules in Pulp Fiction. \u00a0“Say what again!”<\/p>\n
Powerful characters–Can a voice actor be on this list? \u00a0Heck yeah. \u00a0When two of the most memorable characters of ALL time are backed by the same dude, then, yes. \u00a0Besides, it is my list. \u00a0Darth Vader and Mufasa. \u00a0Oooooohhh, say it again. \u00a0 Mufasa. \u00a0My friends, James Earl Jones can use that voice and can turn a role into a role of a lifetime.<\/p>\n
Aaaahhh, here we go. \u00a0Let’s tie this back to the goat game. \u00a0One of the best pieces of livestock that I have ever dealt with was a buck named\u2026.Rainman. \u00a0And that role played by Dustin Hoffman was iconic.<\/p>\n
And, one of my favorites, Robin Williams as Mrs. Doubtfire.<\/p>\n
Then there is this entry. \u00a0The role made the actor famous. \u00a0He has made other good movies. \u00a0Maybe even a bad one or two. \u00a0Once you have seen this flick, you never forget it. \u00a0Slingblade. \u00a0Billy Bob Thornton wrote, directed and played the main character. \u00a0“Some folks call it a sling blade. \u00a0I call it a kaiser blade.” \u00a0Bad Santa was dang good but Slingblade is iconic. \u00a0Unmnhh, hunmnh. \u00a0If we were to make a most under-rated movie, this one might win it. \u00a0Dang good flick with an iconic character.<\/p>\n
Iconic does not have to be on the big screen. \u00a0This show is right at 30 years old. \u00a0But it ain’t aged a bit. \u00a0In fact, “The older the violin, the sweeter the music.” \u00a0And those characters will live forever. \u00a0Gus and Captain. \u00a0Augustus McCrae and Woodrow F. Call.<\/p>\n
“I like to kick a pig, every once in a while. \u00a0How would I do that?”<\/span><\/p>\n “I put a lot more value on the animal than I do my name.”<\/p>\n \u201cI won\u2019t say I did and I won\u2019t say I didn\u2019t, but I will say that a man who wouldn\u2019t cheat for a ____ don\u2019t want one bad enough.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n “I hate rude behavior in a man. \u00a0I won’t tolerate it.”<\/span><\/p>\n “It’s not dyin’ I’m talkin’ bout. \u00a0It’s livin’.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And then there was Phoebe Cates. \u00a0Hunh. \u00a0For some reason, I am ready for the weather to warm up and go swimming.<\/p>\n All iconic. \u00a0Yes, there are more.<\/p>\n People, have a good one. \u00a0Have a better tomorrow. \u00a0I hope that all of you get to deal with some iconic characters on a regular basis.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The weather people are a whole lot like goat reproductive technicians. \u00a0Their success rate isn’t always very good BUT, they still get paid. \u00a0Right or Wrong. \u00a0We ended up in an ice hole around here. \u00a0And they weren’t calling for it. \u00a0At least the wind wasn’t blowing.
