GM's Thread About Everything/GM's Thread About Nothing (16 Viewers)

Having binge watched it all over the winter and caught up on this season's episodes as well, I finally entered the Game of Thrones thread only to discover that I didn't understand a word of what they're talking about in there. I have apparently skipped over lots of seemingly unimportant details like names and been greatly distracted by boobies.

You caught the important parts.

 
been seeing a lot in the media about strahan and ripa and just realized they apparently have a show together in the mornings.  who knew?

 
I don't get this chicken coop phenomena. It's huge here too... Are eggs really that expensive to folks, that they want to build and maintain a dwelling full of ####-spewing birds? 

Horrible fad.

Bummer, man.  Sorry to hear.

On a sort of related topic, our HOA is again asking residents to give feedback on allowing chickens.  Currently, our HOA has a strict policy against chickens, goats or any other animal that has become trendy and hip in East Portland, where the dirty hippies and Tommyboy live.  I'm vehemently opposed to allowing chickens because #### you go buy eggs at a store.  This is not a farm.  It's a neighborhood and I will burn #### to the ground if I start hearing cockadooodledooing in my quiet, peaceful neighborhood.  

Also, my theory on adding chickens to the neighborhood would make the coyote problem worse, no?  Right now (and like you, Foghorn) we have Missing Cat posters going up all the time.  No, they aren't missing; they were dinner.  Or breakfast.  Wouldn't adding chickens increase this problem?

"Farm fresh" eggs from chickens that walk around and do free-range chicken things are definitely tastier than regular eggs. They are also WAY more expensive than regular eggs.

With that said, I don't want to be a chicken rancher either.

$4/doz around here for grazing chicken eggs.  

Regular eggs are usually $2.19/doz. - so $4 more a week for a couple of dozen.

 
Not that I'm politicking for the "chicken hipsters", but if you're raising the chickens you know what they're eating too.  So you know what's in the eggs by default.

No fracking way I'd stand for my neighbor having a yard full of roosters though.  My dog would "accidentally" get left out one evening before the first week was out.  Hell, the coyotes here would probably come in from the scrub and take care of them anyway.

eta: Was going to say "yard full of cocks", but knew that wouldn't end well.  **Insert "Yard Full of Cocks is my Band X Tribute Name" here**

People who grow up in big cities learn street smarts.

People who grow up in the country learn how to fish, hunt and be self-sufficient.

I grew up in the suburbs and about all I have to show for it is knowing where to find parking spots at the mall.

Why would I need to know how to hunt and fish if I live in the suburbs?  

 
You don't have roosters if you have a backyard pen, just ladies dropping eggs. And the eggs are much better than store ones

You want even better eggs? Try duck eggs HFS are they better than regular chicken eggs, not cheap at all at 7/dzn but wow.

They are awesome. We buy them at the farmer's market, along with artisnal cheese, baby kale and organic lard.

I'm kidding about some of that.

I'd never eat kale.

Just because you live in a safe, sanitized, and boring little world where most of your men friends probably wear guy liner doesn't mean that there isn't another world inhabited by rough men that you just wouldn't understand or fit into.

You have an open invite to join me at the next gathering with my brothers in my MC, 100% of whom are tatted, many with full sleeves. I'll buy you a beer and a shot for each one of them you tell how "stupid" they look. You have to buy me a beer and a shot for each one that knocks out one of your teeth.

You're too much of a debutant to get a sleeve, and you feel uncomfortable around people who don't run in the same little metro circles that you do. Fine. I get it. Why the hatred of people who choose to live a different (and probably better) life than you though?

(Full disclosure: No sleeve. Yet. Just a single arm band with my MC's name in it on one arm, and the other shoulder inked with the unit I served with in Iraq. You wouldn't understand that group of men either.)
