MLPFC Shit Posting

For anyone playing CFB Risk, apparently Cockeye State has been backstabbing us and organizing an attack on us by almost every team we're surrounded by. Cockeye State, Texas A&M, Texas, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Stanford, Hawaii, and Oregon are all in. Thankfully, only three of our territories in the Rockies are attackable this turn.

We're coordinating with our allies to crush the Cyclones. Defend Las Vegas, Reno, and Colorado Springs, or attack Stillwater, Tulsa, Montana, or anything owned by Cockeye State.

There was no caption, but that was a child's funeral photo in the tweet. The armed folks in the back were protecting the grieving family from wolves and buzzards. It's a Nebraska tradition that lives on to this day in Valentine where GiaH has family ties.

On my last trip back to The Good Life I spent some time at the Custer County Historical Society in Broken Bow. In honor of my great grandparents who homesteaded there in 1862, I became a Patron.

The nice older ladies were so knowledgeable and the subject of the grim looks on the homesteaders in every photograph came up. Turns out that was the standard pose as the film took several minutes to expose and it is extremely difficult to hold a smile for that long. And here I thought they were all just a bunch of sourpusses.

He had always rented our facility for his bull sale for years. Last March was obviously the first one I've had to deal with and their demeanor, ungrateful like attitude just rubbed me wrong. They rented the facility dirt cheap too. They left a mess in the pens and among other things left a poor taste in my mouth. Those cocksuckers never once contacted about signing another lease or discussing rent until they had already printed all of their propaganda, sale catalogs, flyers, etc which of course included our facility as the location.


In a not so nice way I told the shitbag on the phone if he can run southeast Nebraska farm ground to 27,000 an acre he can build his own fucking sale barn. First local that he sent to try to sweet talk me into giving them another year and offering more lease money doesn't even own cattle 😂.

While I would never argue with the incredible volunteers at the Custer County Historical Society, something seems fishy about the horses. Have you ever seen a horse stand perfectly still for a few minutes? What about if there are flies around, and fly spray hasn't been invented yet?

Those horses should be blurry as hell! I suspect someone typed "Nebraska, 1887" into an AI photo generator and this image is what came out.

The time it took to take a picture varied depending on the camera & lighting, but with the right setup, taking the picture could be almost instant, even back then. Probably wasn't typical, but possible. Couple other examples:

Thanks, Inspector Factcheck. If this is true, why is bigfoot always blurry?

Just being outside in sunlight like in that photo would greatly reduce the exposure time.

Good insight. I agree with you that animals and even small children would not be good subjects for the old photography methods. Most of the Nebraska historical photos I've seen are only people and no animals except for one notable exception of a family in front of their sod house with a cow or goat on the roof grazing, lol.

As an aside but relevant to our discussion is Civil War photography. There are vast numbers of Civil War photographs but they tend to be posed or candid shots of people. I do recall seeing horses though, especially at Gettysburg, and they weren't blurry. I don't know how they accomplished that.

Notably, there are no photographs, only paintings or drawings, of actual battles. The reason frequently given is that it was too dangerous (well duh). But it would seem that even if they could have managed some photos they would have been one gigantic blur. The closest thing I've seen were photos of Union or Confederate troops, I forgot which, marching through Sharpsburg, MD on the way to Antietam battlefield. They must have been stopped to rest as the pictures were quite clear although there were some random blurred soldiers who were obviously moving around.

Fun rabbit hole to go down.

My apologies for the MLPFC getting bogged down by talk about photography technologies/techniques in the 1800s. I was only trying to joke about how skittish horses are.

That said, would you rather talk about civil war era photographs, or who can capture the most digital Pokémon's or Pikachu's, or how many murderers @God is a Husker is tasked with prosecuting in the stabbing capitol of America? It is a difficult choice to make for me.

Let’s discuss my Lincoln visit. In the past 36 hours we have:

1. Attended the Huskers vs Sparty WBB game Thursday night. We were up by 22 at halftime and pissed that lead away, almost losing in the last minute. But they hung on……yeah. 🙄

2. Stayed with our long-time friends (Th. night and last night) who live 20 miles sw of Lincoln, near Kramer/Hallem. These are the same friends who abstain from drinking every February (“Love yore Liver” month) and it makes it not as much fun hanging with them. Oh well…….😉

3. Slept in Friday morning as the friends had a funeral to attend. They were gone from 8:45am-1:30pm and we used the time to slip in a ding (two for Mrs B).

4. Stopped at this Denton casino/horse track place (didn’t even know it was a full-fledged casino, right under TO’s nose). What a shit-show that was. Crowded as hell, way too many machines and tables for the available floor space.

5. Headed into town and arrived at the Zoo Bar at 4:30 to catch the early show. Local band (The Scalliwags)……four old guys (keyboard dude was 71) that did a pretty damn good job at some blues tunes. Several songs were their own. A few cover songs. Hadn’t been in the Zoo for 3 yrs……spent somewhere between 100-150 nights in that place since it opened in 1974. Love it……😎

6. Headed south on our way home (to Kramer) and stopped at 9th & South st and ate at the “9 South Char Grill”. (Thanks @Husker Priapism for the rec). Great spot, great menu. Will be going back, as there were several things on the menu that looked good.

7. Home to the friend’s farm. Good night’s sleep and now headed out for the two hour drive back to Beebeetown to the farm I grew up on, where we’ll hang out with my 93 yo mom for a couple of days.

8. Finally……the reason for our trip down here and that’s to babysit three grandkids in west Omaha/Elkhorn Mon-Sunday while their parents spend a week in Cancun.

Could be an adult beverage in my future on Thursday with a few “friends”. Hope I survive that little ordeal……..🤣
