  6. Ah horseshit...yes it’s as american as apple pie and homicide. Can’t get enough horseshit or cowbell. Horses don’t wear cowbells. I think cowbells are wonderful and I used to put a miniature cowbell on my English Pointer so the sound would scare other animals before he found them. I know, this was a fairly stupid idea! But back to horseshit, some people think there are ‘goood’ seeds to pick from the horseshit. Even if there are some good seeds, it’s really not worth the effort.

  7. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MICKEY !!! Seems that a lot of great people were born this time of year. 100 years ago tomorrow my father was born.
    Hello all… Maybe when we have to start looking for tiny seeds in the manure pile it proves that we all have been too complacent for a long time. Sometimes it is hard to believe that humans have screwed things up so badly.

  9. Hayseeds found: on the subway yesterday, I met a drummer en route to a demo. He’d made a weather-proof drum body out of black plastic conduit (about 16” diameter). For a head, it was some newfangled raincoat material. It sounded fine to me but also had an interesting resonance, probably from the hollow spaces of the reinforcing bands. http://tinyurl.com/2fku72
    Turning pieces of greedy developers’ dreams into musical instruments could be a path to revolution. Edward Abbey would approve.

    Happy Happy, MZ. I’m old enough that I demand a recount on my birthdays. http://tinyurl.com/2udyq4
    Incidentally, most/all of the documentary “Hacking Democracy” is on YouTube, in sections.

    My favorite line from Fight Club is “On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero,” but there are plenty to choose from.

  10. While its true horseshit isnt the best manure to fertilize a garden with (I tried it once on my corn patch and ended up weeding out alot of grass) it will work in a pinch. If its all you’ve got its better than nothing. I guess it is natures way of ensuring that meadows/plains stay grassy.  Buffalo poop is probably seedy too.
    Lots of berry seeds need to pass through a birds gullet or bears stomach in order to germinate…
    There were a few years where my life was real shitty. I thought up quite a few gardening analogies...weeding before planting...fencing/boundaries...composting the shit into gold...reaping what you sow.
    I was never a very good gardener.  Things would always get too wild and overgrown...I had a hard time deciding what plants had a right to grow..maybe I wasnt Hungry enough.  When people start to mow and prune and manicure it feels like a sickness to me, keeping nature at bay.
    One year I didnt mow at all, it was so crazy tall the kids got lost in it.  One of my friends said: come on you gotta mow it down, after all we’re human. Thats what humans do I guess… mow it down.  Eventually in the fall before it got all matted in the rain, we sythed it down and made a huge pile. It got so hot under a tarp it was steaming.  Captcha says: present, as in even shit can be a gift if you know how to use it?

  11. On topic for a change...I live down-wind from a dairy farm. When the wind is just right, I get the strong smell of “farm”. It never bothers me. Actually, I kind of like it. It is soooo natural.

    How’s the birthday going, Mickey? I hope that something very special and nice happened in your life today. You are one of the most genuinely nice guys around and you deserve the best.

    RMJ:"Sometimes it is hard to believe that humans have screwed things up so badly.” I agree

  13. RMJ, I agree. I like the smell of farms, skunks, etc.
    They smell much better than the synthetic colognes men and women wear. I don’t know what anyone finds sexy about smelling like fiberglass resin.

  14. Every good wish to you MZ, happy birthday.

    Zen, I also play an instrument made out of black plastic conduit material. You calling me a hayseed? That’s cool.

    Shit of a different sort: The NewStandard is kaput.

  15. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MICKEY, AND MANY HAPPY RETURNS!

    I for one can’t find many hayseeds, although on my most recent visit to Melbourne, I did read large chunks of Chalmers Johnson’s latest book ‘Nemesis - The Last Days of the American Republic’, a comprehensive critique of the military-industrial complex in the US and brilliantly written.

    Hello to Michael, JOS, Frances, Ehtesham, Joe of Maine, Rosemarie and Keir from a still wet Daylesford - but we really need the rain.

  16. Keir, that’s a cool-looking horn. Next time I’m headed to Amsterdam, I’ll be in touch. Maybe I’ll manage to shanghai a few USDA-inspected war criminals and you can give me directions to the ICC’s “Receiving” department.

    Captcha sez “idea.” : P
