Under the Buckles Blog post Titled ASPCA Demands Cancellation of TV's Greatest Show on Earth, 4/11/08 which we have also posted here, as I expected it to get hot, and didn't want it to disappear. We will use this tread as a dumpster, to post censored comments. Possibly we will learn the definition of Pompous Asshole. Lets not forget Ringling is Mr. Woodcocks favorite whipping post. He likes to point out how bad it is, but apparently doesn't want somebody else to point it out to him. Sounds a little Pompous.
" THERE YOU HAVE IT! SOME POMPOUS ASSHOLE IS GOING TO TELL US WHAT WE CAN WATCH ON TV.
I SUPPOSE PEOPLE WITH AN OPPOSING VIEW COULD VOICE THEIR OPINIONS AS WELL!"

Johnny,
John, you are starting to sound a little pompous. They don't sit and watch the same thing for 2 hours. Every 8 seconds it is a new bull and a new cowboy. "Cowboy"!!!! Theres your "western heritage", and "old west" John. It isn't Buffalo Bill and his Congress of Cowboys and Cowgirls. He was a footnote to "western heritage." Is a football game the same thing for 2 hours? I suggest it is something different every time the ball is snapped.
Some folks are bored with barrel racing. Are you suggesting that they are destroying the rodeo, and "western heritage" because "cowgirls" compete in that event? You really don't get it about killing the goose that laid the golden egg, do you. The ticket buying public is the goose John. You feed it what "IT" wants, not what "YOU" want to give it. If you don't, it doesn't die, it just goes someplace else to eat.

P.S. I will refer any one interested in the definition of Pompous Asshole, to the thread started the day John Milton Herriott took the time out of his busy schedule to pay us a visit.

Lets see now. I read ads, etc. where they used to put on a rodeo in various buildings, arenas, netc. where now they are putting on bull riding only. Even our cable TV channels here have fequent. [almost every night] of bull riding period. If anyone can sit for some two hours of one right after the other they would have to be a hard core affecianado of this event, but aqs I say families that are not rodeo people per say, but proud of our wqestern heritage and with the family go to see this wonderful bit nof Americana with yes its "sports and pass times of the old west" are being left out and when these producers realize they are indeed killing the goose that laid ba golden egg are hurtin, it might be too late. It goes way back to Buffalo Bill and his Congress of Cowboys and Cowgirls. Quite similar to taking the ring curbs out of the circus. The highly intelligent Baby Boomers that have decided we are going about it all wrong and killing people in Iraq and elsewhere is the way to go. God help us all.
