Cowpooling - Emerging food trends

Tag: General InterestKevin Hail @ 7:40 am

The New York Times wrote an article in yesterday’s paper about the emerging trend of home grown food, such as produce grown in the backyard. Companies will come to your house, plant and tend a garden and deliver the produce to your backstep for you every week. That’s my kind of service. I’ve noticed that there are two kinds of guys in the world. The guy that enjoys working in his yard, mowing it and tending it. And the guy that enjoys watching someone mow his lawn. I’m of the latter group. So this is pretty much right up my alley.

One offshoot of this trend is several people raising a cow together and then getting a divvied up share of the meat upon slaughtering. This is cleverly called, Cowpooling. True.

Diner hit by car

Tag: General InterestKevin Hail @ 7:28 am

This is great!  A guy is minding his own business drinking coffee at a diner when a car going 55 MPH crashes through the wall and collides into him.  After getting violently shoved across the diner  by bricks, metal, and debris he is unharmed.  The best part is how he just casually picks up his hat and puts it back on.  I think that if he’d had the Root Tooty Fresh and Fruity meal he’d have resumed eating.
