Yeah, so Merle Haggard is a Republican and I'd go see him in a heartbeat, unless of course the proceeds of his show were going to the purchase of PackNPlays for new mothers with the understanding that the mother's lack of a PackNPlays is the sole reason she may otherwise choose to have an abortion. Then I might not go see Merle. That's just dumb. <br /><br />Anyway, what with girlfriend being as red as the blood of a fresh Nugent kill, and with her using the proceeds of her concert to ensure expecting mothers choose to carry and birth their children, children they then place in free PackNPlays, those PackNPlays providing that essential safety net that causes the mother to go "hmmmm...maybe I don't have to have an abortion, now that I have a free PackNPlay!"...aaaaaaaand I think I'd rather not be in that audience. And that audience might not want me in it. And especially on my birthday. I was an unplanned pregnancy, and my mother chose to carry and then birth me, on November 6, 30 years to the day before Crystal Gayle played the O'Shaughnessy. But she had a damned choice, and it wasn't influenced by someone giving her a damned free PackNPlay.<br /><br />What is a PackNPlay anyway? They didn't have PackNPlays in 1980. They had scary play "pens" with netted siding (choking hazard when torn) and metal crank type mechanisms for lowering its sides (pinching hazard when cranked).<br /><br />So - birthday party. Don Williams. Tulsa Time. Here's a guy noodling in Tulsa. Watch 'til the end. You'll be glad you did.<br /><br /><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/a60F45l2CYs?fs=1&hl=en_US"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/a60F45l2CYs?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>Stuffed Pheasanthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13362503055946018359noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3358753615039864555.post-2576967673342650872010-10-11T19:24:00.007-05:002010-10-11T19:37:23.951-05:00Travis Tritt and his sableI haven't posted here in over a year.

And, hold on to your cowboy boots here - Old James plays, like, twice a year. And one 'a those times is usually in Texas. We're bringing 'em back up here just for you, because we love them and we love you. And The Guystorm played our inaugural LM/DM show and rocked the Turf on a Wednesday night. Far be it from us to even anticipate what they're gonna do on a Saturday at the Nomad with a bunch'a party dudes back from the damned Lone Star State.

We can all benefit from self-discovery.<br /><br />And thanks to Amber from City Pages for <a href="http://blogs.citypages.com/gimmenoise/2009/03/delicious_live.php" target="new">snapping these great photos! </a><br /><br />Here are a few pictures our deer friend (clever) Robyn took in between bites of elk. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihNxSrM0RdQx3hgy0wAoxA3Ax0I3I00GbbM_ZKYA-lbUK81O1VQ6-LespGRAgEU42CxBY6Bw94xgrX_c8EAypr_9Ptq6sShlE81l5C2Am1u8X9xMSRldwdmm3_Qtj_JP2i4H92xctWLRoF/s1600-h/DSCN0138.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihNxSrM0RdQx3hgy0wAoxA3Ax0I3I00GbbM_ZKYA-lbUK81O1VQ6-LespGRAgEU42CxBY6Bw94xgrX_c8EAypr_9Ptq6sShlE81l5C2Am1u8X9xMSRldwdmm3_Qtj_JP2i4H92xctWLRoF/s320/DSCN0138.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312443306795657394" /></a><br /><i><c>Your Chief Taxidermist serving up meat at the pool table</i></c><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoxzqojaGRDjvkOjdoNsnkL63MNkv3B5gFKO2rBkFgA4V54uPqg3HtoVgFAyHyuiQ-LYPZdPQ2VLTXy3FBsX0SepR5kVcRo2qZ2R5HsGPw0kDQiCY7147CiOOd2LEIxg48cvWKJnKUFV3i/s1600-h/DSCN0139.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoxzqojaGRDjvkOjdoNsnkL63MNkv3B5gFKO2rBkFgA4V54uPqg3HtoVgFAyHyuiQ-LYPZdPQ2VLTXy3FBsX0SepR5kVcRo2qZ2R5HsGPw0kDQiCY7147CiOOd2LEIxg48cvWKJnKUFV3i/s320/DSCN0139.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312443605942812530" /></a><br /><i><c>Landon's leftovers</i></c><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUJoHN-dYPiWavOWwSCg9MeJYBYTFT5QAtS3M14BsfNKedhWKpF96Zs0d2BO6q5ADnq4KRKIjeb00laBAVkzh0i6chefussuTKXQyFtxlF6jhFCWhvBf4EOGnhHRFWOC0cv2jf_PQXF6rf/s1600-h/DSCN0140.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUJoHN-dYPiWavOWwSCg9MeJYBYTFT5QAtS3M14BsfNKedhWKpF96Zs0d2BO6q5ADnq4KRKIjeb00laBAVkzh0i6chefussuTKXQyFtxlF6jhFCWhvBf4EOGnhHRFWOC0cv2jf_PQXF6rf/s320/DSCN0140.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312445078132518786" /></a><br /><i>Nick, everyone's favorite door guy, taking in some meat.

Did you miss me? You must have, judging by the calls, letters, emails and flowers! Anyhow, I’m back where I belong with two feet planted firmly in the blogosphere. So what’ve I been up to? Well, the fact of the matter is that blogging just isn’t paying the bills yet (no affront to you, Madame Editor!!), so I’ve had to focus my energy on my daytime gig as a psychometrician, measuring the tastes, talents, and personality traits of the masses.<br /><br />Well, it’s been time well spent! Just take a glance at the recent professional journals! The KHO Appreciator broke the field wide open!! As Robert Christgau put it, “he’s the Vampire Weekend of personality testing.”<br /><br />I digress…<br /><br />So, I’ve decided that a nice way to get back into this crazy business of blogging is by giving you a little taste of what I’ve been working on for the past few months.<br />I’m sure you’re all familiar with the pop-up ads for personality tests on all of the popular social networking sites. Well, have you ever wished that there was one more closely tailored to the outdoors enthusiast? One that might tell you something about the life that you live? I thought so! That’s why I’m so damned proud to present you with “What Kind of Meat Stick Am I?”. Just go through and respond to these statements on a scale of 1 to 5 (1: Strongly Disagree, 2: Somewhat Disagree, 3: Neutral, 4: Somewhat Agree, 5: Strongly Agree). When you’re done, add up your score and check out the Meat Stick Scale at the bottom to find out what you are. Now, I’m going to spare you the treatise on method and just assure you that this is an incredibly well thought out test that is incredibly accurate. So be as honest as you can be and enjoy! Also, feel free to post your results as this test should also be quite useful in helping us understand what type of authoritarianism the country is likely to slip into should the economy get much worse!<br /><br />The Test:<br /><br />1- I am an archetypal outdoors enthusiast...<br />2- Guns help us git' to gittin' 'r done...<br />3- I think it is ok for my employer to distribute religious materials in the breakroom...<br />4- A network of private armies financed by industrial trusts & cartels is probably more realistic...<br />5- I find that sports analogies make me feel better about certain inter-office dynamics...<br />6- I consider myself a bobcat in the sack...<br />7- You don't feed the dog good hamburger meat. Especially in times like these. Dogs eat dog food...<br />8- I follow through well past completion...<br />9- Deep seated insecurities prevent me relating to the natural world in an authentic manner...<br />10- The federal government should take a more active role in the regulation of cultural production...<br />11- Sudden interest in eastern philosophies is a sure sign of an extra-marital affair...<br />12- If men like Vince Lombardi were running the banks we wouldn't be in this mess...<br />13- A robust centrism is the Jacobinism of our time...<br />14- I often end up where I started...<br />15- I think it is ok for my employer to use sports analogies to rationalize certain decisions that negatively affect the well-being of my co-workers…<br />16- A private army of Vince Lombardi's would be much more efficient...<br />17- The rapid growth of social networking sites is the best example of the Sinicization of our culture...<br />18- We are entering the final stage of the current Era of Personal Responsibility...<br />19- I have the basic skills required to run a household by myself...<br />20- Marijuana's long-standing connection to jazz music is what distinguishes it from other legal drugs and makes its use another example of the Sinicization of our culture…<br />21- I like to work alone on projects... <br />22- I would describe most of my opinions as commonsensical...<br />23- A new spirit of commonsensicality could still save poetry from petit bourgeois charlatanism...<br />24- I hold most of my co-workers in high regard...<br />25- While I do not believe in the doctrine of biblical inerrancy, I can still appreciate novels & films by artists that do hold this view…<br />26- I married the love of my life...<br />27- Solid evidence of the existence of the Skunk Ape is out there...<br />28- There is less difference between deep space and the deep sea than a modern, scientistic culture will acknowledge...<br />29- No Name Steaks are just more convenient sometimes...<br />30- I find the concept of self-esteem silly for non-Buddhist reasons...<br />31- We need another Emerson to clearly articulate the importance of Teamsmanship...<br />32- The flat tax would be a commonsensical tax...<br />33- I think that the federal government should take a more active role in the regulation of my insecurities...<br />34- I provide more than enough for my family...<br />35- I am an active participant in a number of membership organizations related to gun rights...<br />36- I get frustrated when a sports analogy does not make sense because I'm talking to someone that does not like sports...<br />37- I would sacrifice certain liberties to get the hunting season extended… <br /><br />Normal Beef Stick – 37 to 50<br />Teriyaki Beef Stick – 51 to 65<br />BBQ Beef Stick – 66 to 95<br />Extra Spicy Beef Stick – 96 to 110<br />Smokey Beef Stick – 111 to 130<br />Venison Meat Stick – 131 to 145<br />Ostrich Meat Stick – 146 to 170<br />Alligator Meat Stick – 171 to 182Bear Meat Stick - 183 to 185 <br /><br /><br />So that's it, guys. I hope it's been enlightening. Keep your eyes peeled on this fine blog as I'll be coming around alot more often from now on! Also, get yourself down to Stuffed Pheasant's first Live Music/Dead Meat event at the Turf Club featuring many local music bands and the KHO Appreciator himself (<em>I'll be holding a single red rose!</em>). Hope to see you there!<br /><br />Outro Music:<br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/8dHUfy_YBps&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/8dHUfy_YBps&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>K.H.O.

You will be pouring free wine down your gullet. You will be crossing your fingers as door prizes are drawn, hoping you are the lucky winner of that jerky. That bait bucket. That rabbit fur-lined camo hat. Or, if you are truly lucky, that South Dakota is Big Cock Country trucker hat. In fewer than 48 hours, you will be satiated and you will be stylin'. <br /><br /><img src="http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll170/stuffedpheasant/lmdmflyerlores-2.jpg"><br /><br />We will see you at the Turf Club, Wednesday night.Stuffed Pheasanthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13362503055946018359noreply@blogger.com0
