Breeders is great to watch & small wagers just to keep it interesting. Usually pay good prices.
Change the "is" to "are" and it makes better sense.
CharleyMike, I sure wish y’all had said up front you were from Texas. At least then I could have guessed you might be referring to horses or cattle or for those so inclined, sheep. We are big kids on this thread, most seem to be over 18 (not too sure about hurr’cne, ‘cause his abstract reasoning skills don’t seem to be fully developed), so there’s no need for you to say, “It has been my experience that those who don't get it, won't and, if it is then explained, they are so embarrassed to admit they didn't get it they then deride the sense of humor of those who do get it.”

Hmmm, Mr. CharleyMike, very interesting statement. So you are saying not everyone understands the nuances of the ambiguous farm terminology you use, and you’ve found this creates great embarrassment. Mr. CM, have you considered that the voyeuristic activity you describe is perhaps embarrassing to you, rather than the person you are talking to, and that this is why you personalize their perceived embarrassment by your obviously defensive remark about their derision of your sense of humor?....ah, your hour is up…please see the receptionist, let her imprint your credit card, and I’ll see you this time next week to hear your response.]
AK to CM: I gotta hear why you believe your 'jewel' of a post allows you to think you are "wonderful, good-looking, annnnd intellectual".
CM to AK: Where'd the jewel reference come from? You got "jewels" on the mind or something?
CharleyMike, a “jewel of a post” is a figurative term; because of your farmish orientation has subtlety of language has been lost. Please note that the word “jewel” was used and that you have changed it to “jewels” so that you can see the word in a context you are familiar with.

Mr. CharleyMike, I hope you have reflected on my questions from last week; however, before you answer, I was reviewing my notes from those iHub postings that you have found so troubling, and it appears there may be a defensive pattern in the way you respond to people. I see that you posted the following:
Where'd the jewel reference come from? You got "jewels" on the mind or something? A simple observation that not everyone can be wonderful, good-looking, and intellectual elicits defensive snide remarks. Try real hard not to be so defensive.
Notice how you have strung together a series of non sequiturs . Jewel becomes jewels, you then feel threatened and issue a defensive insult, and then summarize by projecting your own feelings onto that supercilious Mr. Kvetch. ah, your hour is up…please see the receptionist, let her imprint your credit card, and I’ll see you this time next week to hear your response.]
AK to CM: “Computer Tip of the Day: "Ziiiiiiiiinnnnnnnng. Went waaaaay over your head, huh!" would indicate you have spilled coffee in your keyboard, and the sugar is making the keys stick.”
CM’s response: “no sugar in the coffee. Kinda' gets my motor runnin' and it goes fast enough for me as it is.”
CharleyMike, what does one have to do with the other?

Mr. CharleyMike, I hope you have reflected on my questions from last week; however, before you answer, I was reviewing my notes from those iHub postings that you have found so troubling, and I have concluded your defensive pattern of posts may be self-induced by the amount of time you’ve been spending out on the range engaging in your prurient pastime of watching breeders. What has convinced me of this is the constructive and well-intended comment by that nice Mr. Kvetch about your computer keyboard, and how you again gave him an irrelevant and deeply personalized answer. If you re-read the posts, you will see another non sequitur. ah, your hour is up…please see the receptionist, let her imprint your credit card, and I’ll see you this time next week to hear your response.]
Well CharleyMike, I’d like to give your posts a comprehensive response, but I need to go out now to buy the fixin’s for the hot sauce for tonight’s BBQ. Y’all take care now, and don’t let Mr. Chur-ak git to you.
Your big-city friend,
AK
p.s. Does the expression “All hat, no cattle” mean anything to you?
