I'm not in any way knowledgeble in agriculture, but I happen to be an advertising major. More importantly, I happen to posess a transcript of a Stan Richards interview in which he discusses the cows. The Richards Group is the ad agency that handles the Chick Fil A account--located in Dallas. Basically:
"The cows are exceedinly likeable. They are rebellious and mischievious. And yet they are cows. Interestingly, they are Holstein cows and Holstein cows are not used for beef, but nonetheless that's the kind of cow we chose to use."
So yeah--they're dairy cows, but I guess they're cuter cows than beef cattle. It's one of the most successful ad campaigns of all time, so I guess people don't really care about the discrepancy.

Does anybody know much about livestock? I was just wondering if the mascot for Chic-fil-a is really a dairy cattle. I was thinking that it was. So why would the mascot that can't spell want us to "eat more chikin." Will we not drink as much of its milk if we eat chicken? And it doesn't like us milking its udder? Can somebody that has an agriculture background please fill me in?

Tuition deregulation is a sham. They're making it sound like it's based on the free market idea of letting supply and demand set the tuition price, but in reality what I think they're planning on doing is making it virtually free to attend school if your family makes less than $40,000 a year, and everyone else has to shoulder the burden through higher tuition.
If tuition deregulation passes, UT has already said it plans to raise tuition by 30%. That's on top of the tuition hike we suffered last year and this year.
Isn't it great? Our universities mismanage funds and engage in wasteful spending, but we have to suffer for it.

Holy Crap. I just read about the pending tuition & fees increase for UT. Going from $3,950 a year average to $4,819 a year average (Residents only). That would make UT the second most expensive school in the Big 12 (behind Missori and ahead of A&M). The increase in Non-residents would put them 4th in Big 12. Why such an increase?
Or does it cost so much more to police all the protests, so they had to get the money somewhere?
*The numbers came from the Big 12

So I too checked out the 50 cent website. Now, I do love my rap music, and I do like the new 50 cent album, but yeah when a website starts out with a massive flash of 50 shooting you... yeah that boy is ghetto. Of course he has been shot 8 times, which if I know my entertainment stats, makes him the most shot up rap star that's still alive. I also enjoyed the part in his bio about having been born into a Brooklyn drug dynasty. Now, I wouldn't exaclty call having your mom who sold crack get shot before you hit 13 and never knowing your father to be "born into a dynasty" like he lived in some sort of fantasic world. Now Pablo Escobar's kids, that would be a fuckin dynasty...

And using correctly normally includes no smoking and less alcohol consumption. Damn I'm glad my woman is on the pill. Well actually now she's on the patch, but same thing. Only instead of remembering everyday, it's just once a week.
Ah the miracles of science.

yeah, mandi just forgets to take it at the same time, which apparently affects the pill's effectiveness. better safe than sorry.

Actually, if used correctly, the pill is more effective than a condom. It's the "if used correctly" part that screws some people over, no pun intended.

You know, UTPD is full of a bunch of fucking morons. You know you're facing allegations of racial profiling, and then you continue actions that could provide more evidence? Smooth.

You know what a mood killer is . . . when your pet keeps coming in and jumping on the bed and eveuntually you have to get up and throw their ass out of the room.
And speaking of 50 Cent. I went to his website. Holy crap, talk about reinforcing negative racial stereotypes. It could've been a satire site set up by the KKK. And read the forum. It had me laughing for an hour.
