CAN'T BELIEVE THAT WE ALL MISSED THIS!

[pogo]

If they had just parked a load of the subject material in the vicinity, they would have made their point.

Say, isn't Siouxie in NC right now? Wonder if she's involved in this?

[Bethie]

BYOS and be prepared to par-tay!

[Edgar Greenberg]

The stuff does stink, and it spreads disease. I'm with the protesters. Until they clean up the mess, I Edgar Greenberg, will not hog. Of course, I don't eat it anyway, but that's not the point.

[Esther]

No one can say we North Carolinians don't know how to have fun...

[Esther]

You know, I think they could have sent a much more powerful message if they had brought actual hog waste with them. I mean, after all, it's not like there's a shortage of it.

[Esther]

Question: why is the bot only asking me to type in the secret code after a second post?

[Clean Hands]

Ours is not to reason why; ours is but to spam and lie.

The bot likes to harrass commenters (particularly frequent commenters), and let spammers through with depressing regularity. The bot is a perverse and twisted little thing, and has earned my eternal emnity.

DOWN WITH THE BOT!

[Richard the Weasel-Hearted]

Makes a darn sight more sense than holding the vigil within nose-shot of an actual hog farm.

[SW]

That's offal!!

(lol doc R!)

[ubetcha]

I imagine the protestors left a bit of waste themselves.

[ubetcha]

Also, I haven't posted in a couple of days and the blucking fot made me do it twice for that last one.

[ubetcha]

But not for the last one only 45 seconds later. Go figure.

[Esther]

I just KNOW the bot is actually a squirrel. Now they're using blogs, the terrorist bastards...

See? I try to expose them and they come at me with claws out and hackles up!!!

[Richard the Weasel-Hearted]

... and proved your point while making it. Nicely done!

[Esther (BOT H8TR)]

Is it just me or do the bot codes look like secret messages?

Or is the bot really just a glorified vanity license plate generator?

Or... is someone - perhaps a local animal control officer who went mysteriously missing some time ago - trying to smuggle out a message to us?

[MAC]

If pigs are so smart, why can't they learn to use the toilet like other animals - say, Dick Cheney?

Here in Wake Forest, North Carolina, we stopped going outdoors way back in 2005.

[MareBear]

Ummm, isn't 3 pm Wednesday to 6 pm Thursday only 27 hours? Or do hogs tell time differently than we do?

[pete]

The age old American tradition. People protesting against something that they know nothing about.

Oh, and Edgar, hog waste from modern production farms does not spread disease.

[Esther]

lol marebear - maybe just seemed longer for some reason...

[pete]

I wonder if people really believe that food grows on the grocery store shelf. If the idiots manage to shoot down large scale production agriculture some people will starve to death (yes in the United States).

[pete]

Stevie,
"Offal" is the inedible parts of a carcass.
just saying

[gjd]

They did actually have a child's wading pool full of the s...tuff.

[CJrun]

pete's right, although that's a bit scary, around here. The Lagoons stink to high heaven, but their impact isn't disease spreading. If the dikes around the lagoons fail, a serious nutrient loading problem hits the streams and rivers, the reason (notice) the RiverKeeper is instigating this. This is basic push and shove, local politics... the farmers have spray nozzles, the RiverKeepers have wading pools, the middle-ground is no more new lagoons and better dikes around the old ones.

It's reasonable for everyone to hope for better dikes....

[Siouxie in North Carolina]

Ducky...no ..I had NOTHING to do with this very worthy cause.

[pete]

Even Rosie O'Donnell, CJ?

[Clean Hands]

Only if she's in the lagoon before we strengthen the walls around it, pete.

True story: friend of mine was driving to work early one morning; unbeknownst to her, a liquastore cow manure pond next to the road had failed, in the direction of the road. She was lucky to avoid a serious accident, as that stuff has approximately the driving characteristics of KY Jelly on wet ice. She never did get the smell out of the wheel wells of the car.

I am intimately involved in production agriculture and grew up on the farm that I now operate. That said, I would not choose to live within a 1/2 mile of a cattle feedlot or within 2 miles of a non-confinement hog operation.
