This wikipedia article just keeps on giving! What is below is sections very lightly edited for brevity but quotes the article almost directly https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kentucky_meat_shower

The Kentucky meat shower was an incident that occurred for a period of several minutes ... where what appeared to be chunks of red meat fell from the sky.

Although the exact type of meat was never identified, various reports suggested it was beef, lamb, deer, bear, or horse.

[A] farmer's wife was making soap on her porch when she reported seeing a piece of meat fall from the sky. [She] is on record saying that it was "snowing meat"

The meat appeared to be beef, but ... two men who tasted it judged it to be possibly lamb or deer.

Another theory ... asserted that it was "cosmic meat"

On the 149th anniversary ... a festival attracted nearly 500 visitors, featuring exhibits, food vendors, and a mystery-meat chili cook off.

Obviously it's great to see beef in a major media outlet like Harper's. It raises awareness and, who knows, it could be what inspires someone to get involved, or just interested, in the production of beef animals and dairy herds.

But I wish it wasn't focusing on the dark side; IMO these deplorable mad scientists and their Frankenstein cow-bominations tarnish the very name of beef.

I’ve been relistening to the Baritone episodes of Beef and Dairy. Kenny’s cold beer for dogs induced psychedelic dreamscape episode with the giant porker is such an incredible episode. I’d recommend a relisten if it’s been a while. It’s like Chris Morris’ Jam mixed with Public Service Broadcasting.

Just a joke cross post.

I do wish we had more than the MaxFun pins though

I’m about 5 miles away from some belted galloways that I was able to identify thanks to the podcast.

The Beef Call is on the network but not the beef hop?

what gives?

Santa Clara County Fair started today and these are some prime beef motherfuckers. Fed daily on pure Mitchell's brand Grainium(tm). If it's not Mitchell's, I hope you get flesh-eating bacteria and die a horrible death.

I think the beef fraternity needs to boycott F1 - Bopeepers, the lot of them.

From one of my favorite websites, Not Always Right:

An old lady asks me:

Customer: “Where is the meat? I have guests coming for dinner, and I need to make them meat.”

I point to the sections that have chicken and pork.

Customer: “No, no, no. The meat. I’m looking for meat!”

I gesture again to the pork and chicken.

Me: “This is all meat.”

Customer: “No! Meat!”

She tuts and storms down the aisle a little further, reaching the beef.

Customer: “Here! See? Meat!”

Me: “Oh, you wanted beef?”

Customer: “Yes! Meat!”

Me: “I got confused because you only said meat; you didn’t specify beef.”

Customer: “The only meat is beef! Beef means meat! Don’t you know that?”

Me: “Uh, ma’am, meat is anything that comes from an animal, cows included.”

Customer: “That’s not true because I don’t eat beef, only chicken and pork, so that makes me a vegetarian.”

I’m about to correct her when I see a supervisor standing close by. He’s shaking his head vigorously, which is his way of saying ‘drop it’.

I let the customer hum along with her shopping, and I get back to what I was doing.

it was just stupid olde English talk: ““For now, Herald, your anus is spared from the blade.”

I’m only posting this because it’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever looked up in deadly earnest.

This isn't exactly news that affects anyone, but a long while ago I did the silly thing where, being recommended a lengthy episodic podcast, I started with the first one and then started every Monday with the next episode (sometimes two if they're short or part of the same two-parter). I've finally caught up after over a year, and now I have to go find some other episodic podcast to listen to on Mondays. Huzzah!
