If I was given the choice of which animal I would eat the rest of my life, I would take a pig first off. No thinking needed. My second choice though? It would probably be cow, but chicken is going to get a good hard look. If you ask me if I want a steak with no marbling, or a chicken thigh, I'll ask you how many chicken thighs you got?
I am with you. I would take a pig. You can eat pig meat every meal and never get tired of it. I like beef steaks that have some fat in them, that is why I prefer a rib-eye. I eat a lot of "organ meat". Calf liver, pork liver, chicken liver, fish and chicken gizzards. I like the dark meat of chicken and turkey. To me the breast are too dry so I let the wife have them since it is her favorite piece of chicken.

But I do have a hard time eating the "lights" of beef and hog meat. My grandma always buried the "lights" with the rest of the guts when it was hog killing time. They killed hogs on Thanksgiving Day or weekend. So no lights for me either although it is a Scottish tradition to eat them in haggis and we have a Scot Irish heritage. I will eat haggis but lights by themselves, I would probably pass and let @BBUK have my share.

Talking about food makes me hungry and I smell food coming out of the kitchen. The wife is busy.

I never even heard of a pig gizzard. (Just my take.) 😁 ;)

All I've had to eat today has been beer and brats. Misleading though. Only had one brat, but plural beer.

I hadn't had a beer since mid-February then two days ago My Darling and I were in Walmart. (I passed them by two days previous to that.) but this time I loaded up with 24 Yuengling Lager bottles and 12 Yuengling Black and Tan bottles. Had two, two nights ago and one last night. Who knows what this evening brings but they are close.

Just finished the yard work (mowing and weed eating) and cleaned up for the beer fest that generally follows. I don't drink beer generally, only after yard work and softball. Hofbrau is the beer today. Have that and Warsteiners in the fridge.
 
So, I was telling some guy my age (mid-60s) at work how at 91 my father's favorite TV show is still Gunsmoke, and he hit me with an obvious, but surprisingly tough question: Chester or Festus?

After a long spell of thinking about it, I think I'm going with Festus - but a close call.
My choice would be Festus as well. Watching him and Doc go at it was classic.

Festus Hagan all day long. Chester never got it done in my book as far as a nearly lead character. I think of Matt and Festus in a longer term and more successful duo of Andy and Barney in the more comedy show of Andy Griffith.
 
Dern man. If her husband looks like Bruce....watch out.

I never liked him in my best John Wayne voice but he sure played some great bad characters. I think him killing John in the Cowboys cost him a lot of roles and fandom. Some fans go nuts over that stuff. A great character actor though. I liked him in "Diggstown". (Have that one in my collection.)
 
He was great in The Burbs.
Saw him the other day in Support Your Local Sheriff as one of the Danby boys.

Watched a movie earlier today before tuning in to the Reds then yard work (full day) called USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage. Knew the story and the movie is pretty much on the mark. It still pisses me off what happened to them in the water and to the commander after he got back.
 
I like the Yeungling beers. I like the Sam Adams beers, the Foster's Lager beers. the free beers, the cold beers, the first beer, the next beer...you see, beer is the essence of life and the mother of us all! Respect.

Before I messed up my leg, I ran a lot. I had a subscription to Runners World magazine. Read that Bruce Dern was a marathon runner.

Dusting off John in a movie would tend to make you learn to run and run fast in my way of thinking. Seems I watched an interview where he'd have never thought the backlash from that would have been so severe. Also watched an interview where John told him he would be forever hated.

I looked it up just now and I know it's an estimate but it states Bruce is worth about 12 mil. That doesn't seem like a lot for his total body of work. It seems he'd be worth a lot more. (Just my thought process as Bruce has to be one of the top villain's to be in movies and TV.)
