Thread below the Gardening Thread: Cows and the Alamo [KT]

Serving your mid-day open thread needs

Elsie-282x300.jpg

Here's a little history for a Saturday: Many Americans today may not know that Elsie the Cow was both the face of the Borden Company and one of the most popular celebrities in America during her heyday. She's no Hedy Lamarr, but she has had quite a list of accomplishments for a cow who started out with the name "You'll do, Lobelia".

Back a little further in time, there were quite a few nameless cows at the Alamo, presumably lost to the Mexicans. Now this is some history I really didn't know anything about: The Borden Brothers whom Elsie eventually came to represent were running one of two Texas newspapers when the Texas revolution started. After his brother joined the army, Gail Borden, a former schoolteacher, carried on as editor with another brother and a partner.

On March 30th, the Borden brothers and their partner disassembled their press and evacuated San Felipe with the Texian rear guard, a short distance ahead of the advancing Mexican Army. They set up the press in Harrisburg two weeks later, and just as they were about to go to press with new issue - the Mexican Army caught up to them. The soldiers threw the press and type into the nearest bayou and arrested the publishers. Fortunately, the Bordens did not remain long in durance vile, for in another week, Sam Houston's rag-tag army finally prevailed.

Gail Borden was still raring to go in the newspaper business, and mortgaged his Texas lands to buy a replacement press. The Telegraph resumed publication in late 1836. . .

When the brothers sold their interest in the newspaper, Gail Borden tried out careers in politics and real estate before developing an interest in food preservation. His first product, a long-lasting dehydrated "meat biscuit", won a prize at the London World's Fair and was popular with Arctic explorers, but did not win him a contract with the U.S. Army.

Yet he persisted.

It took Gail Borden three years of experimenting, developing a vacuum process to condense fresh milk so that it could be canned and preserved. . . . By the time that he died, in 1874 - back in Texas and in a town named Borden, after him - no one could deny that he had not been wildly successful as an inventor and innovator.

So, if Sam Houston's army had not prevailed after The Alamo, there likely would never have been an Elsie the Cow.

No Eagle Brand Condensed Milk? No Pastel de Tres Leches?

I think this little excerpt from the link at the top of the post is an interesting window into America of Yesteryear:

Elsie traveled to Hollywood in 1940 in a private railroad car to play Buttercup in the film, Little Men. Her calf, Beulah, was born during this time, and Elsie and Beulah returned together for the final summer of the New York World's Fair.

Special provisions were made for the birth of Beulah's little brother. Elsie was making a guest appearance at Macy's around the time she was due, so Macy's put up some temporary drapes in the store window where Elsie was the main attraction. The baby was born quite discretely without having to be in public view.

Then a contest was held to name the baby bull. One million entries were received and ultimately the judges picked "Beauregard" in honor of the Civil War Confederate General P.G.T. Beauregard at the Battle of Bull Run. (They clearly disregarded the fact that Elsie would have been a Union cow.)

Hope you have a great weekend. Planning something memorable?

27 If u live in Austin TX and are male, force the Alamo draft house to let u in to Wonder Woman or sue them. They cannot exclude men from the showing or law is meaningless. I've had enough of liberals.

First the same chain elsewhere, and now this.

If public accommodation laws are what we have been lectured about, if cake bakers are forced to serve under all cases to protected classes, they cannot do this, it's a hill to die on and no, u don't need to merely identify as one to qualify.

It's this kind of crap that we tolerate instead of suing them right back and picketing and destroying their lives is why we R losing. Libs are flaming lying hypocritical assholes, and thry must be forced to live up to their own code of rules.

45 And here;'s the level of intelligence from some commentator at the UK" Daily Mail"

Pity that Melanoma hasn't got a brain to go with her expensive dresses. Educated, intellectual women do not spend fortunes on clothes- they donate money to good causes instead like medical research. Zuckerberg's doctor wife and Mrs Steve Jobs are classic examples. Empty headed think expensive clothes will compensate for their lack of class.

How does this person know what else Melanie spends money on that Jobs or Zuckerberg's wife don't dress quite fashionably when it's called for? Why does she assume that because Melania dresses well that she is stupid?

After the final lunar landing the scientists at Houston sent samples of moor rocks all over the world so that all of mankind could participate in the research. After the last rock was sent, they realized Texas A&M had been omitted from the list. So an enterprising engineer went out behind the Houston complex and dug up an old cow pie. (Aggies would never know the difference.)
About 6 months later the scientific papers began to be published. The results were fantastic until the paper from A&M captured the headlines.

The left hates anything beautiful. They want everyone to be as ugly as they are. They spend their days telling us that whatever is ugly and perverted is really beautiful...so much so that we now have at least a generation or two who have completely skewed ideas of what is beautiful. I'm not just speaking about physical beauty, either. Things like the beauty of a newborn baby, grace,freedom and concord are foreign concepts to the vile left.

Once, civilization appreciated and celebrated beauty, both the physical and the intangible and we were a better culture because of it.

80 I think California dairies have been using cows for the past couple years in ads. There is a series where the cow lives with a family and uses a valley girl accent. Those are funny. I like the red cow used for Laughing Cow brands.

Cows in my area right now look pretty seedy -- winter coats are not all off and they are still a little lean. Went through farmette country last weekend and checked them all out -- good thing I wasn't driving because I would have run off the road for bald eagle's nest rather than checking out the cows.

92 "They cannot exclude men from the showing or law is meaningless....they cannot do this, it's a hill to die on"

I dunno that we really want to go that far. From what I understand, the theater is NOT excluding men from ALL showings of "Wonder Woman," it is simply making SOME screenings women-only. A man who wants to see the movie can still do so, he just has to go at a different time, or perhaps to a different theater (surely there is more than one theater in the Austin area showing this movie).

Ultimately it all comes down to the right of association among PRIVATE parties in a PRIVATE venue. Public accommodation laws do exist for a reason -- to counteract the Jim Crow laws that excluded blacks from certain facilities at ALL times -- but I would think that as long as reasonable accomodations for the excluded group are available at another time or nearby location, strict enforcement of these laws on private parties shouldn't be necessary.

Nothing wrong with dressing for comfort, but in today's world where wearing underwear sticking 6 inches above the waist of your pants is considered cool, nobody who chooses to dress well has anything to apologize for.

181 "how is it different from Whites/Black Only, Jews/Catholics/Muslims only?"

You take the principle of non-discrimination too far and you end up with, for example, Catholic schools being forced to hire out and proud gays or pro-aborts, or the Boy Scouts being forced to admit girls and trannies. I would think that a PRIVATE association such as B'nai B'rith or the K of C would be able to have a "Jews only" or "Catholics only" membership policy, and even to have occasional events at their privately owned venues that are Jews only or Catholics only.

As for the "white/black only" issue, let's not forget that Jim Crow was an official state (and at one time, federal) government policy enforced on everyone, ALL THE TIME, regardless of their personal beliefs or wishes. Restaurants, bathrooms, drinking fountains, etc. were white only or black only 24/7/365, not just once in a while or for particular events.

There has to be a balance between non-discrimination and free association and finding the proper balance isn't as easy as it might look, especially now when these principles are selectively enforced for the benefit of particular groups only.

Such icons were calculated to be emblematic of masculinity then. A good example was Smoky the Bear. Someone you would want to emulate, he exuded authority. No shirt for the otherwise sharply uniformed, gruff Smoky. There was always the sense that if you misbehaved, he might rip your lungs out.

In recent years, its authorities have struggled to contain extremist violence against religious minorities, foreigners, gay people and secular intellectuals. Attendance at madrasas, or Islamic schools, is swelling, and more women are wearing the hijab, or head scarf.

Catholic tradition holds that one of the Twelve, Thomas - migrated to South India and established the Church there. When I had my taxes done the Indian woman was surprised I knew about the Catholic population in her country.

Which is distinct from the Catholics from the former Portuguese colony of Goa.

247 I used to work in Borden County, out in the West Texas oilfields. Only town is Gail, with about 50 people. The entire County has only about 400, the fourth least populated in the US.

Well, it's one of those ultra-haute couture art pieces that even most runway models can't pull off as a garment --- something made more for the museum than the street.
Yet Melania pulls it off beautifully, IMO.

(I happen to love it but can see why others might not.)

In any case, the Italian press was ecstatic and it made the Frogs green with envy. Heh.

Should have just defeated the nazi's and left. A good hard dose of real stalinism would have been good for them and with all that extra territory to keep control probably would have hastened the collapse.

250 Maybe. But if the Soviets had been in charge of west German education, there might currently be a significantly larger number of them who are as bad as Merkel. Although they might not have gone in for the Islam thing the way they are now.

258 "A Line in the Sand; The Alamo in Blood and Memory" is a good, brief history of the Alamo and how it came to be an American icon.

It presents a balanced view of the circumstances leading to the battle, and the struggle of the flawed, yet heroic defenders, both Anglo Texan & Hispanic Tejano; all fighting to wrest freedom from the dictator Santa Anna.

If you regard Texas as part of our Founding as I do, then you should know there were Tejanos who fought for the Cause--our Mexican Founders, including Juan Seguin. That's right--and they wanted borders, too, just like Caesar Chavez.

In the book there is a story of a successful American family of Mexican descent who come to visit the Alamo.

The father, a CPA with a degree from Wharton, poses his family in front of the Alamo for pictures, and tells his girls of the integrity and courage that were displayed there, and the need to emulate those qualities in their own lives.

He is promptly set upon by a white grad student, brimming with PC platitudes, who aggressively hectors the father. Failing to be put off politely, the sophomoric Sandanista rudely continues (quoting directly):

"You shouldn't be teaching your kids this stuff."

The CPA stopped short.

"Escucheme, bolillo (Listen to me, white bread)," he said sharply. "If Santa Anna would have won the war, this whole city would be a shithole just like Reynosa. Soy tejano (I'm a Texan). Mind your own goddamned business. It's my Alamo too."

And so it is.

Self-identify as a woman and go see it.

It would be funny as Hell if power were to fail in the theater during the women-only screening. Panic might ensue. Not that I am suggesting anything, no sirree.

264 I don't like the way Elmer positions his eyebrows in that sneering way.

I wonder if the Rock stole that from him. Borden should sue.

Elmer is a roody-poo candy-assed jabroni. That eyebrow is The People's Eyebrow. If they want to sue, Just Bring It, and I will Layeth the Smackethdown.

268 Not the solution. The left will agree to someone claiming to I'd as female. That's part of th hole point. It's 100 percent arbitrary and apways its differ not only for them, when they do it. Men, Identifying as such, must be able to go. Period. Public accommodation laws are to be followed, or we don't have to do it with something like homos and cakes
