How Much Manure Does a Horse Produce?

Every once in awhile, I check out our SiteMeter to see where our readers are coming from. We get readers from YidWithLid, Jihad Watch, Weasel Zippers, and other anti-Jihad sites.

And, we also get readers from Google Searches.

Today, I clicked on one of those Google Searches to see what the person had been searching. Here's what it was:

How Much Manure Does A Horse Produce?

Is that funny, or what? I would even say it is appropriate.

Maybe some of our readers, who sometimes get offended by things I write, ought to take note:

Infidel Bloggers Alliance is the number ten Google Search for "How Much Manure Does a Horse Produce.


All I've got to say is, this is not the first time I've been compared to a horse.

Which end of the horse? :)

Pastorius said...

LOL

I guess that depends upon who's doing the comparing.

midnight rider said...

Dude we've moved to #7 on that search list.

Woot!

:)

Pastorius said...

This is almost as proud a moment as the day I found out that Brooks William Kelley cited us as a source for his book The Martyr's Prize.

We've worked so hard and so long, MR.

I think I'm going to cry.

Where's MLAR? I need a woman's nurturing, calming touch right now.

;-)

All I gots to say is, it should have been a jack ass.

Horses are much too intelligent for you to compare yourself with.

Pastorius said...

You wouldn't know until you tried me out, now would you, MLAR?

My kid's dog (the kid in Palin Country) tangled with a horse last week. Broke his chain off their property and into the pasture next door. Usually charges at the horse and gets away but his lead was still attached he got tangled in it and the horse kicked him in the head. 3 missing teeth hole in the lip.

Still crazy, though.

Pastorius said...

I'm guessing the dog produced some manure in that instance.

When I posted that piece on horse manure I did it for a good reason, as you all will recall. Sometimes it's things we would not ever think of that provide us with luxuries and safety that allows for a life of the common man to soar above anything dreamed of by men prior to our time. Those who go on about "ecology" and saving the planet don't seem to factor in the fact that cars save us from drowning in horse shit. That was one aspect of the story that made it worth my while to find out about horses.

Glad the world beats a clean and lovely path to your door to find this story.

midnight rider said...

yeah, he did. He was also out cold for a few moments.

This is going to be very interesting when he meets his first bear up there.

Pastorius said...

Dag,
I'd be willing to bet we get a disproportionate amount of Google hits from your stories.

Pastorius said...

Hey MR,
You're gonna like our new IBA Banner Headline. It ought to be debuting in the next day or so.

Dag said...

If it's a pile of horse manure, I take credit for it.

Pastorius said...

As well you should.

Dag said...

Sorry, I'm not smart enough for subtexts. I like my horse shit plain and simple, which is sort of in response to your comment somewhere else.

On that topic, I see that Spencer is quarrelling with others among us in this business. Such is the nature of dealing with ideas. No one is exactly right, but its very hard for most of us to admit that the other guy is anything but wrong.

Still, Sarah Palin is our best hope for a good president. On that question, there are only angels or daemons.

Pastorius said...

Who's he fighting with, Dag?

Dag said...

Too many to mention, all of whom we know well and respect. I admire and respect Spencer; but there is a limit to how far one can go in being "right." I like to think a safety valve, as an example a bit of humour, goes a long way toward saving oneself from the kind of foolishness we see today among some of our best communicators. If we allow ourselves to become too important in our own minds, then our cause is us and not our cause for freedom an the furtherance of Modernity, such as keeping the streets clean of horse manure, keeping our public health in good shape, and so on. If we allow our pride to become our purpose for acting, then we lose. I'm not saying spencer has done this. I say that we can see it in every sectarian history we car to look into, from the history of the Early Church to the French Revolution or the Russian Revolution, and then too, and so on. It's not ab out us as heroes; we are blessed to live in such a time that we have this chance to do such great good. I for one am thankful for it.

I also love that people like reading my horse manure story. I AM human, you know.

Pastorius said...

Just don't indulge in the temptation to make the horse manure story all about you.

;-)

Pastorius said...

If we allow ourselves to become too important in our own minds, then our cause is us ...


That's a great aphorism.

Dag said...

Yes, horse manure has an aphorism all of its own, which some of us rural types actually like the smell of. Like pine forests and wild flowers and blue sky wind. We can enjoy this in large part because the war between man and Nature is over, battles now raging rather than us losing all the time to death and destruction. That is one of the many greatnesses of Modernity. We can love Nature because it's not constantly killing us and we helpless to stop it.

Having made that sort of point, we Modernists lose sight of Nature and fall into apathy from lack of struggle and care. things are so easy, nd so many are so wiling to do with us as they will, for our benefit, that too often we just roll over and let them do it. Ease is not a good thing, it's just better than death. We still have a great work ahead of us. It takes courage and sacrifice. I like it. I think it's a blessing.

This revelation opens up vast new opportunities for taking advantage of Google Search. The only thing that puzzles me is that we didn't come up 10th on the list of something to do with sex.

Dag, so long as there are politicians it will take more than cars to keep us from drowning in horse shit.

Dag said...

Horses! I went to the track and bet on one. The guy in the back half of the suit broke his leg and they had to shoot him. I haven't bet since on anything like that.

Pastorius said...

RRA,
We come up high on sex searches all the time, but I don't comment on that.

I just thought this one was particularly funny.

It isn't so funny that we might come up high in the search for "horse dick".

LOL

Well, maybe it is funny, now that I think about it.
