and the "ll" does seem to be the preferred spellling.

I bet you could write us an essay extolling the art of picking up a turd from its clean side.

There'll always be one term for what you spout, Buzz...horseshit.

Why do you need to get into Buzz's grill? Buzz is one of the nicest, friendliest posters in this forum. Although I don't agree with all of his posts or opinions (he's definitely drunk the kool-aide when it comes to Muhammad Ali), I think he is a pretty knowledgable poster. We get it; you don't like his sense of humor. But, geez, saying all he spouts is "horseshit?" Come on . . .

G.I. don't know horse shit....

I grew up on a dairy farm and learned early in my life that cow manure is useful. That usefulness may have been born out of necessity, though. After all, the manure from a herd of 50 cows has to go somewhere right? That's how I learned that cow manure makes a great fertilizer. But we only had a few horses on our farm so I started wondering if horse manure is useful as a fertilizer too.

Although there is a wide range of weights among horses depending on the breed, an average adult riding horse weighs approximately 900 - 1,100 pounds. A horse that size produces around 8 to 9 tons; or between 16,000 and 18,000 pounds of manure every year. That's a lot of horse manure.

What is done with that manure? One option for disposal is to haul it to a landfill site, but that is not an eco-friendly option and some landfills will not accept horse manure. (Like the one G.I. operates).

Besides Putting valuable fertilizer into landfill is just well....a real horseshit idea.

The best option is to spread the horse manure on land so it decomposes quickly, or to compost it and then use it to improve soil quality.

A great way to use horse manure is to add it to a compost pile. When adding the manure to a compost pile, any sawdust and wood chips present in the manure are okay. They are a good "brown" component to compost. It takes about six months for the manure, sawdust or wood chips, and any other materials added to the compost pile to completely break down and become what many people call "black gold."

Because the compost pile is a living thing, it needs water and air to thrive. Your compost pile should be turned each week, adding water as needed to keep the compost pile damp. You'll know the process of breaking down has completed when the compost material is dark and crumbly and fresh smelling.

Once the horse manure and other materials have turned into the "black gold" it's finally time to put the black gold to good use. While compost isn't officially considered a fertilizer, it contains nutrients that are great for plants and soil. Some good ways to use your horse manure compost are: as mulch for garden plants and around landscaping; as a soil improvement component for sandy soil; as a soil improvement for clay soil; and as a material to help control erosion.

Now we can all say we know that horse manure, that smelly waste product from a beloved animal, is a useful by product that is environmentally friendly.

Unlike Luther McCarty, Peter Jackson, Sam Langford, Joe Jeannette, Sam McVey, Harry Wills and the latter version of George Godfrey had lengthy careers during which they were top fighters for much of the time. It is a fact of life that a staggering number of top black boxers weren't able to fight in world championship bouts for one reason or another from 1880 to 1950. While there were understandable reasons, including business ones, why certain world champions and their managers didn't seriously consider challenges from top black fighters, that doesn't make it completely right.

Agree with this.

Maybe it is Irene's time of the month.

Pretty good analysis here, except I don't quite see the "material to help control erosion" part.

What kind of cows, BB?

I suspect black and whites.

I've always had a desire for a nice, little Jersey cow.

p.s. For the milk.

yance...don't pay attention to all that....I was talkin' shit.

But it acts like a bit of glue for soil.....so to some degree, it helps keep your shyt together....on land.

I lifted that info, but it's so close to my story, I felt it appropriate. My Grandad had about 400 acres in Texas, Longhorn cattle and an diverse array of other cattle. He loved the land, and farmed a big section as well. Pigs, chickens, pony's the whole nine yards.

My reccomendation on this? Leave it where you found it.

...and stop changing the subject. It's a boxing forum.....and the specific subject....Elite of the elite.

Time of the month? Really? Did you write that one yourself, Yance?

I mean, if you were reaching into a barrel of the most insipid, generic insults imagineable, you could hardly have done any better.

PS - TKO2 (with shoving)

The humour is a point of secondary distaste, so I guess, your unfounded self-assuredness aside, you really dont, "get it," after all.

you commenting on somebody else's "unfounded self-assurance" . . . Talk about the pot calling the kettle back . . .

If the boot fits, Ray

Pound that table, m'man

You don't even know what the phrase means . . . Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable: "Said of one accusing another of faults similar to those committed by himself." It's the equivalent of saying: "Look who's talking!"

You are the 2nd biggest example of "unfounded self-assuredness" on this board . . .

G.I. has made it clear, that "folks like him" (even I don't know what this means...and I'm me) have never pleased his general disposition. I get the sense, (and on more than one occasion) he has alluded to words along the lines that It's my "tone".

However, I'm fine with it never being brought up as an issue again for the rest of recorded time. Though I realize that would be selfish of me.

At this point, I'd like to issue a disclaimer that neither G.I. or myself are the "elite of the elite". I don't want this to get confusing for anyone.

I guess the question that is on everyone lips and only GI can probably answer is can Sukanya Roy become the first Champion in history to go back to back in the spelling championships. Unlike in heavyweight boxing, it seems that the sport is striving and the quality of spelling is better than it has ever been.

Looking at the list of winning it words, it would seem that the 30s and 40s were a bit of a tough time for spelling bees as a sport. Back in those days words like initials, fracas, Knack and therapy were good enough to take the title whereas today you would be laughed out of any classroom in the world if you could not spell such simple words.

Still saying all that, when all is said and done, Frank Neuhauser could still trump most of these modern clowns with a Gladiolus. Frank transformed the sport from uncivilised No Holds barred spelling to the modern game. before winning the inaugural tournament i heard he walked into the room and said I can out spell anyone in the Class room. And he never lost a challenge. There may be rumours though that he drew the sex line. He never spelled against a female and never would.

I said if the boot fits...and my accusation, quite right, is that you were quite wrong in your assertion as to why I dislike Buzz. Its all very much in order --- but in true lawyering fashion, you are doing your best to muddy the waters. Im very impressed...really

That table must just about be dropping its screws by now

This is actually pretty funny, you have to say

Unlike some of our finer members, I have no qualms giving credit where its due...Ray may be waiting a while.

The greatest clue (these days) that is given at spelling bees is information about the lineage of the word to be spelled. Origin, etc. For those who study etymology get a great inside track based on this info alone.

And due to your unfounded self-assuredness, you actually think I give a rat's a** what you think . . .

Is that your close?

Quit while you're behind, Ray

unfounded self-assuredness

Yeah, that's definitely you . . .

Definitely, Ray.

As our good friend descends into Rainman-esque perplexity, I am reminded it is the time of Easter, and though I am not a man of religious persuasion, I will take compassion on the good man just the same.
