This is one of the top 5 pieces of pig that I have ever eaten. \u00a0And people, I eat a lot of pig! \u00a0Crazy good!<\/p>\n<p>These are not scientific #s, \u00a0however, I bet that I am not far off. \u00a0I would bet that 95% of all people just really want this upcoming election over, and that it goes their way. \u00a04.9% are looked at as conspiracy theorists and they don&#8217;t believe the poll #s, or anything else associated with politics. \u00a0AND then there are that .1% that really just wants that 4.9% to shut the hell up and not teach anything to anybody about the reality that the 95% does not know exists.<\/p>\n<p>Guess which percentage that I would own real estate? \u00a0Yeah, that 4.9% \u00a0 Except that I am the vocal minority of that 4.9%.<\/p>\n<p>I truly wish that I did not know what I know. \u00a0I am not prepared to turn the industry upside down, but I can name names, dates, conversations, and show you exactly how things happened. \u00a0I can use a crayon, a blog or a legal document to explain it all. \u00a0You may not like me, may not know me, but you will go &#8220;Hunh, it&#8217;s hard to argue with him.&#8221; \u00a0 Which would explain\u2026a lot\u2026.about\u2026&#8230; why you are still reading this stuff.<\/p>\n<p>All of this brings up a logical question. \u00a0Why don&#8217;t you just type it out and let&#8217;s get the lawyers some work?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve never done any drugs. \u00a0Never smoked pot. (Had a couple of contact highs at a concert or three, then went out and bought 20+ McD&#8217;s cheeseburgers and gave to homeless people and some gangsters at a quick stop.) \u00a0And no, I&#8217;m not an alcoholic. \u00a0You regular readers can probably tell when I shouldn&#8217;t be driving or typing. \u00a0And you can dang sure tell when I&#8217;m just being real. \u00a0If I&#8217;m typing, I ain&#8217;t going nowhere. \u00a0It&#8217;s always late at night or way early in the morning. \u00a0I have no chemical problems.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s simple. \u00a0I&#8217;m a stock show junkie. \u00a0I don&#8217;t want to blow the program up. \u00a0I just don&#8217;t like the BS, squat to pee, chicken shit stuff that goes on behind the scenes. \u00a0I would rather it not happen, but when u ass clowns do it, at least make it look proper. \u00a0That, singular action, in of-its-self, \u00a0removes a person like me from the equation. \u00a0Use good ones. \u00a0That&#8217;s it! \u00a0It&#8217;s not crazy. \u00a0Use a good one, consistently and you immediately negate a person like me from the equation. \u00a0 \u00a0Sure, I wish that there were bigger names, people with titles that had a wheel-barrow to haul their nuts around. \u00a0There isn&#8217;t. \u00a0They all have some money on the line somewhere. \u00a0I did. \u00a0However, I have learned that there are things more important than a fricking $. \u00a0 \u00a0I don&#8217;t care who I offend and I am not afraid of those that I offend. \u00a0\u00a0So\u2026..here we are.<span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">\u00a0 \u00a0Coast to Coast&#8211;this simple blog has been discussed. \u00a0I am aware. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">Why am I a stock show junkie? \u00a0I&#8217;m that guy that has taken many of kids, regardless of species, to the backdrop at all levels of shows. \u00a0I have no nerves headed down the ramp at OYE. \u00a0 Why? \u00a0Those kids are ready. \u00a0My kid, your kid, our kids. \u00a0All of the above. \u00a0I, we, all of us did our job and this is the fun part. \u00a0Somebody is getting ready to buy me dinner and drinks at Trappers. \u00a0 Yet, I still get the chills, when a young kid takes their first animal into their first county stock show ring. \u00a0You can&#8217;t replace that feeling. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m that crazy dude that loves when a competitor asks for help. \u00a0 Not one time have I cashed a check for that advice. \u00a0Speeches, stock shows, ag mech, who cares\u2026.I&#8217;ve always answered. \u00a0I may not tell you everything till you earned it. \u00a0I may even tell you how you have been screwing up. \u00a0And we all like to hear negative advice. \u00a0But, without fail, I will get you going down the right path. \u00a0I know, that&#8217;s crazy.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m that guy that watches an experienced showman help a beginner and realize the respect from the beginner and the desire to help from the expert. \u00a0Both parties are winning, if they aren&#8217;t worried about a $. \u00a0Kela helped make all goat showers in Oklahoma better. \u00a0Free showmanship clinics whenever asked. \u00a0And always worked with families that asked for help. \u00a0Then, I watched as those younger showmen turned into the Schovanec kids, Lexi Vanderwork, Bree Taylor, Chesley Comstock, etc, etc, etc. \u00a0And now, Braden Schovanec is one of the best at coaching elite showman. \u00a0It just keeps rolling downhill when it is right. \u00a0Seriously, it doesn&#8217;t cost a thing to roll down hill. \u00a0But if you want to go uphill, you are going to pay to ride a lift, rent a jeep or buy a donkey. \u00a0And that is the stock show world in a nutshell.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m the guy that gets amped watching a showman work and get better at each workout. \u00a0They walk out of the ring each time, and asks, &#8220;What can I do better?&#8221; \u00a0And then takes your advice and does it better the next time. \u00a0It&#8217;s crazy how fun that is.<\/p>\n<p>I may be crazy, but there isn&#8217;t any of you that think that I am dumb. \u00a0Cuz\u2026.if I&#8217;m dumb, you are dumber for reading this crap! \u00a0 \u00a0I ain&#8217;t reading your blog. \u00a0Hunh\u2026just saying.<\/p>\n<p>I may start the day with 12 and end the day with 13. \u00a0I truly, do not care who I offended.<\/p>\n<p>I did \u00a0hear a term called Jelly Juice. Kinda like Tim McGraw, &#8220;I like it. I love it.&#8221; \u00a0Now just figure out how to market it with a 100% tied to the name. \u00a0IDK. \u00a0 Maybe U R Jealous. \u00a0I&#8217;m not but I absolutely love it. \u00a0Seems fun. \u00a0Not my ideas but I like it, would buy some of it and would need some more of it. \u00a0I just need a hoodie if you get it figgered out.<\/p>\n<p>People, if we can&#8217;t have fun with all of this; then it&#8217;s time to give it up. \u00a0And this is not the time. \u00a0I may be opinionated, yes, for sure, but\u2026..<\/p>\n<p>As a stock show junkie, it would be hard to be run for public office and when questioned, explain the stock show world\u2026.and answer honestly\u2026..even if you were completely clean. \u00a0 Think about how you would answer those questions?!?! \u00a0 Truly, think about it. \u00a0 Not as a parent, ag teacher, breeder, jock, whatever. \u00a0 Take a step back and ask yourself that question. \u00a0The stock show world should be a shining light for the non-agriculturists to learn about animal husbandry. \u00a0Instead, we are happy to live in the shadows, hoping that a tv channel doesn&#8217;t shed light on a recurring problem like we saw back in &#8217;95. \u00a0Yeah, you Okies remember what I&#8217;m talking about. \u00a0And if you don&#8217;t\u2026.you need a history lesson.<\/p>\n<p>I should probably go back and proof-read this one. \u00a0I&#8217;m tired. \u00a0It is what it is.<\/p>\n<p>This blog was supposed to be a short one. \u00a0I guess that I was crazy for thinking that.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ll tell what is crazy! \u00a0This Dragon Lady smoked a pork loin on the traeger. \u00a0She bacon wrapped this deal and used the just right amount of garlic powder and black pepper for seasoning. \u00a0OH!!
