CB Lingo Class

For those of you not from a corn producing state, this is an up close view of a corn ethanol plant. I spent today being the seatcover (CB lingo for passenger) in a rig (CB lingo for semi truck) hauling corn northbound to the Pine Lake Processing Plant. At least we weren't hauling four legged go-go dancers (CB lingo for pigs) and didn't have to travel through any antler alleys (CB lingo for deer crossings). I will not get into the economic consequences of the ethanol boom on the global economy at this point but I would suggest buying a few cows and a pasture if you like to eat beef and drink milk without taking out a small loan. You should also hire a scientist to develop a food substitute to feed your herd cause farmers aren't stupid enough to keep their corn to feed cattle when they can make a million selling it to corn ethanol plants until, of course, supply and demand allows them to make a million on cattle sales. Note: I did not use the CB term 'good buddy' cause it no longer just means a fellow truck driver. Out on today's highways, it refers to a gay truck driver and that's not really how you want to refer to someone coming at you 75 miles an hour in an 80,000 pound craft unless you are a good buddy yourself. Until my next CB lingo class...over and out...
