Greetings Lee!

 BM>>> but I guess you would know the meaning of it with all the bullshit
 BM>>> in Texas.

 LL> In Texas and Oklahoma the stuff is called "cow chips".  Never "cow
 LL> pies" or "horse apples" or anything else.  There are annual chip
 LL> throwing contests in Amarillo, Texas and Beaver, Oklahoma.

Dunno about Beaver, but Amarillo smells like cow shit. That's because
steer hauling truckers stop there for an over-nighter.

 LL> Beaver claims to be 'The Cow Chip Throwing Capital of the World'
 LL> whose residents swear they have the oldest such competition anywhere.

Well, they're OKies, what else can you expect from them.

 LL> I will leave it up to our resident Texan (Roy W) to verify the truth
 LL> of this matter.

You've got it pretty close.

 LL> But one thing is indisputable -

 LL> If a horse and a cow fall in love, get married and have a baby,
 LL> then their offspring would leave 'apple pies'!

Could be cherry pies, depending on the taste-buds of the taster.

 TR>>> Texas is in line to overtake Saudi Arabia in oil production soon.

 BM>> Not sure where you get that from... but according to most analysts,
 BM>> texas production will reach about 3.4 million barrels/day by the end
 BM>> of the year due to shale, which will scorch the land to make it
 BM>> totally useless when done, as compared to Saudi Arabia's daily
 BM>> production of just under 10 millio/day. Let us know when they
 BM>> overtake them Tim. Are you using the same crystal ball Reagan used?

 LL> US proven oil reserves (1970) - 39 billion barrels
 LL> US proven oil reserves (2011) - 26.5 billion barrels

 LL> That is a 32% decrease.

 LL> I wonder what US proven oil reserves will be in 2030?

 LL> That is including Texas, of course.

 LL> I wonder how those numbers will compare with oil from the
 LL> rest of the world.  Not only will the US have a problem with
 LL> its own oil reserves, but so will many other countries.  And
 LL> that includes Saudi Arabia.

 LL> I fully expect the price of oil to be AT LEAST $140 a barrel
 LL> by or before the year 2030.  And that price will continue to
 LL> rise ever upward.

 LL> Shale oil and frakking is NOT the godsend the oil companies
 LL> are pretending it to be.  But that is another topic, for another
 LL> day.

Actually and honestly, state agencies, who do more for their own
state's welfare than the EPA does, don't agree with you...

 TR>>> Texas is also becoming the place for business to re-locate and
 TR>>> dare to grow their business without much interference from the
 TR>>> state.

 BM>> Sure, less "interference".  Guess blowing up a town is good for
 BM>> business but screw the people who live there and who died.
 BM>> Brilliant.

 LL> Clint Eastwood painted the town red.  And got a fistful of dollars.

Was that in California or New Jerkey?

 RW>>> Speaking of the bullshit in Texas, SFB-Obama has dared to show his
 RW>>> pitifull face in Austin...not that being here in any capacity above
 RW>>> his station in life will do him or any liberals in Texas any good.


 TR>>> I'd guess that the only reason he hasn't been shot or blown up yet
 TR>>> is everybody, even would-be assassins, don't like the notion of
 TR>>> Biden being POTUS.


 TR>>> But I wouldn't make book on his life expectancy after Jan 20th,
 TR>>> 2017.

 BM>> So you have inside information on this Tim?  One could possibly say
 BM>> you're predicting the killing of a former president.  I'm sure the
 BM>> Secret Service would love to hear more... please continue while I
 BM>> dial (202) 406-5708.

 LL> Here is a true story of what happened to a fellow I know -

 LL> Young feller, in his 20s, a college graduate but lazy as hell,
 LL> decided to go on the public dole.  But how to get on?  That was the
 LL> thing.  He needed a plan.  A most devious plan.

 LL> Being that he had graduated from college, he had no more money coming
 LL> in, as his daddy thought it was time for him to get a job.  If being
 LL> allergic to work could be considered as being a disability, he would
 LL> qualify hands down.  But life was not so simple.

 LL> To be fair, he did try to work a few times.  But he never was able
 LL> to hold a job for longer than three days, as he would quit before
 LL> anybody could say "Boo!"

 LL> And then he came up with The Plan.  And when the opportunity arose,
 LL> he put The Plan into action.

 LL> He made arrangements to spend some time at his uncle's house, so
 LL> his parents would not be too upset when his little operation got
 LL> under way.

 LL> While at his uncle's house, he began to fast.  No food, drinking
 LL> nothing but plain water.  He did this on day one, with no apparent
 LL> change taking place.  He continued doing the same on day two, with
 LL> no apparent change taking place.  And then, on day three, it all
 LL> started coming together.  On the third day, while still refraining
 LL> from eating a dang thing, he began to hallucinate.

 LL> This also happened to be the same day that President George H.W. Bush
 LL> was to give a speech at the Cajundome.

 LL> While having a vision/hallucination, he called the cops and told
 LL> them he was going to shoot the president.

 LL> Well, it did not take long for the men in blue to show up,
 LL> surrounding the place, taking him into custody.

 LL> After spending one week at the nuthouse, he was approved for SSI.

 LL> The first thing he did when he got his check was to buy a sniper
 LL> rifle.

 LL> Go figure.

Wasn't this nut case your buddy who ended up in a Florida institution for
lamers?


    Have a day!
