Stop and Shop carries ground buffalo for $4.29 a pound

Beef has increasingly become a less than ideal choice these days with worries of mad cow disease and fears stemming from added hormones and chemical in cattle feed. Bison meat however carries none of these concerns: because one Bison have little need for extra protein in their diet:

There have been no known cases of mad cow disease in bison, and the animals’ natural characteristics make it useless for ranchers to give them extra protein from animal byproducts

said Martin Marchello, an animal sciences professor at North Dakota State University.

The animal just doesn’t do well with a real high-protein feed, so there’s less tendency to even want to move in the direction of supplementing feed,

In addition to the peace of mind this brings the animals can be traced much more easily, with the bison industry being so small if a problem does happen to spring up they could easily pinpoint the source. Not to mention Bison has all the delicious flavor of beef yet 70% less fat and 43% fewer calories than regular ground beef! Bison is higher in Iron than beef, has no problems with E-Coli in and even has less cholesterol than chicken or fish.
The meat is bright brick red and, as one wit said,

the he-man hunk of beast flesh is so obviously a carnivore’s delight, it can stun a vegetarian at 20 paces.

However, on the downside it is hard to find and usually expensive when you do. I have never seen it in any supermarkets and believe it is pretty much only available online. Although I do know of one national chain restaurant that offer Bison, that being Ruby Tuesday. In addition I have seen Beefalo on the menu in a steak house in New York. A Beefalo can have up to 3/8 Bison genetics with the other 5/8 of the genetics coming from virtually any of the domestic breeds of cattle (Angus, Limousin, Hereford, etc.) or from any of the newer composite breeds (Beefmaster, Santa Gertrudis, etc.). Beefalo meat also offers many of the same benefits as Bison.

99% of our lives today are dominated by advertising (source, my little brother). 5 year old kids are being sold like DVD rentals to advertising companies who parade them around places where five year olds hang out (Disney world, Mickey D’s, basements of forty year old men). TV shows have way too many sponsors. “Olympia Sports presents the Nike Burger King tournament of Odor Eaters Bank of America Championship at the Met Life Golf Course built by Goodyear. Closed Captioning by Walden Books.” I know people have to make money, like this site

but I mean come on. We’re not hitting you with 50 pop ups per second (pups) trying to get you to buy anything from anti-wedgie cream to Japanese slaves. We’re just trying to make sure Mr. Haynes can pay off his Wal*Mart bill. But, these large corporations seem to be more interested in buying every second of our lives than on improving their product. Movie producers will spend more than half of their budget on advertising. I say they should more guns, bigger explosions, better stunt doubles, free popcorn for us all. But that will never happen, instead they will paint MI4 on some fat guy’s back for fifty bucks.

Despite the large, grotesque volume of advertising in the modern world, the most aggravating aspect the the evil world is suicidal advertising. Ads so annoying they can bring a depressed person to the edge of death, if they don’t bring the company there first. For example the head on commercials. Head-on apply directly to the forehead. Head-on apply directly to the forehead. Head-on apply directly to the, what was it, oh yeah forehead. This one commercial had brought hours of pain and agony to me and Mr. Haynes. I want to know who came up with that commercial. Do they teach in advertising school that if you say a product’s name repeatedly the consumer will either buy the product of donate their TV to a homeless person (I perfer the latter). I don’t even know what Head-on does, and since my doctor tells me I have a perfect forehead, I will never buy the item. And to take it a step further I want the ad pulled, fearing it will lead to a generation of americans that will associate their foreheads with emotional trauma (if you would like to join the noble fight leave a commment).

A reveiw of Head-On from EPinions.com

“I tried HeadOn headache relief for the first time. I used it according to the directions and within a few minutes the skin on my forehead began to become irritated. It was “cold” and “burning” at the same time! I tried to wash it off with soap and water but the irritation only got worse. After about 20 or 30 minutes the burning sensation stopped. It didn’t seem to do much for my headache either. I’m not at all impressed with this product.”

To conclude, the rich have money. The rest of us have to work hard. However, if you like the content provided here and would like to help make sure Mr. Haynes can pay off his Wal*Mart bill make a donation using paypal:

Who invented the word “yo”? Who knows? Who cares? I do. Yo is one of the most versatile words in our modern English language. It can be used as a friendly greeting, “Yo, whats up my . . . “, to answer a question in a positive way, “yo, for real,” and in a negative way, “yo, what you talking ’bout,” and with the exception of baby, it is the most common word in contemporary music. All these facts make this word very appealing to a bored, middle class white guy. So I decided to to some research.

The 2006 Merriam-Webster dictionary defined yo as an interjection used especially to draw attention or express affirmation. While this may be what some old professor may interpret the meaning of the word to be, it is not a proper definition of what a yo response may indicate. This definition equates yo to words such as “hey”, and “yes”, but it obviously has a more important meaning to the world. MTV did not reach out to a generation and an era by saying “Hey we rap”, they simply said “Yo MTV Raps”, and by doing so they reached millions of Americans.

An online etymology(the study of the origins of linguistic styles) dictionary gave this response,
“as a greeting, 1859, but the word is attested as a sailor’s or huntsman’s utterance since c.1420. Modern popularity dates from World War II (when, it is said, it was a common response at roll calls) and seems to have been most intense in Philadelphia. ” So I decided to do some research. Why did philadelphians say yo so frequently, and why were sailors and “huntsmen” uttering the word in the 15th century.

The answer to the second question exists in the Greek language. Apparently the Greek word “loa” was used in the same context as our beloved yo. And apparently when English folk heard the word they anglicanized it by changing the “L” sound to a similar “Y” and came up with yo. And as mentioned, this translation is credited with occurring in the 15th century. I still don’t know why the definition credits sailors and huntsman, perhaps sailor commonly sailed to Greece, and picked up the word in that manner. And maybe huntsman just wanted to sound cool.

In the Military sense the word comes from the danish word for yes “yo” which rapidly became slang for here during role call. Its likely the word was picked up by the British who came to the aid of Denmark and Norway when the Nazis invaded in 1940.

However the American word yo is documented as originating in Philadelphia due to a large Italian and African American population that contracted the words you and your to simply yo. Its first documented use was, as mentioned, during role calls in the military. However it did not rise in popularity until the 1970s when Rocky Balboa famously declared, “Yo! Adrian.” Since then the word received common use, and with the popularity of hip hop it has become one of the most recognizable words on earth.

Get this the military developed a bomb that they would drop out of a plane, and would parachute down to earth while opening up and releasing a bunch of bats was loaded with a small napalm bomb, when they flew off from their bomb contain would pull a straight that set them to detonate in 30mins. They would then fly off and roost in Japanese houses, the bat bomb worked perfect in testing. Unforunatly the bomb was never able to actually be using in war because they developed the atomic bomb not long after and just decided to scrap the bat bomb.

This whole argument that Jesus did not exist as a historic person has gone way too far. So far that now some man by the name of Luigi Cascioli has channelled Enrico Righi in court upon the existence of the historical Jesus. Cascioli even goes so far as to say he has provided proof that Jesus did not exist and was based on some 1st century Jew who fought against the Roman army. On top of this Cascioli now says that Enrico Righi must provide proof that he did exist. That is pretty crazy, especially since we have so much proof that Jesus existed: such as any Western History book, the Bible, Josephus (a Jew historian who wrote about Jesus). What more do we need to prove that there was a real Jesus; a body? Well we obviously will not find a body since He has risen. I just do not understand we never had anyone changeling the Muslims as to whether the prophet Muhammad existed, or the Buddhists as to the existence of lord Buddha, or try to say that Alexander the Great did not exist. Why is that? It is simple it is because their influence was so great that there was no reason you could question the fact that they existed as is such with the influence of the Jesus Christ.

CNN news report on the trial

Our achievements are shaped by the terrain of our lives and the strength of the foundation we set. In building the life we’ve imagined, we must be true to our beliefs, dare to be ethical, and strive to be honorable. For integrity is the highest ground to which we can aspire.

In reaching our goals it is of the utmost importance to maintain our integrity. For what profit is achievement if we fail to maintain our integrity. It is no profit at all, for without integrity it does not matter what you have. Without integrity our achievements may be remembered, but we certainly will not be remembered in a positive light. Lets that a case in point of Benedict Arnold. Benedict Arnold was more than likely a great general, but he was not remembered for the achievements he obtained in battle. He was membered as a traitor and in fact his name has become synonyms with the word traitor.
