No, this isn’t a follow-up on this previous post.
This is completely different from that Mom issue. This is a glimpse of what the world would look like if it really were run by men.
This is from a release by Phil Yanov from the Greenville Spartanburg Anderson Technology Council:
We need to talk about a cow
One of the cool things about my job is that I get to hang around people who follow their passions. Even if that passion is the absolutely crazy idea that ordinary men should be able to barbecue an entire cow on a seriously reinforced metal rack. I know that this sounds like something that can’t be done, but it can and has been done right here in Greenville. My friends are going to do this again. You are invited. It’s called Bovinova 2.0 and while seeing may be believing, smelling, tasting, and experiencing it is even better. Check out the website. Buy a ticket. Plan to join us this weekend for a visually stunning event.(Yes, this was the same event that was featured in the Wall Street Journal. This year, a cable cooking channel will be filming a show there. You can be a part of the fun. Get your ticket.)
I see something like this, and it reminds me of the sort of thing that comes up on TV or something and makes my wife say, “Only a guy would think of something like that.”
Stuff like… dropping major produce (watermelons, pumpkins) off a tall building to see them go splat. Or placing explosives in them where they stand and blowing them up. That sort of thing. Or almost any sort of weaponry.
The sort of thing that makes you think Tim the Toolman is nearby, grunting, and somehow responsible for the idea.
Something like… the headline on this post, which I stole from the release itself.
“Only a guy would think of something like that.” Darn right.
Only a guy would think of something that awesome.
If I wasn’t already signed up for the Ronald McDonald Charity of Columbia Sporting Clays shoot in Camden that day, I would go to Bovinova.
Brad, looks like you’ll have to take one for the team and go report on this.
Here’s something else that women, wonderful as they are, would never think of: Inserting Bo Jackson into Super Mario Brothers to totally run the board.
Ah, the peculiar genius of the male animal!
