What's the story with the cook book?

Long story short, the First cookbook was good, he took preorders for a 2nd cookbook, and for whatever reason, never happened.
Onstad went quiet, not much happened with the strip for a long time. Onstad wouldn't address that he took money and never delivered.
He finally said that he was going to make things right years later

I'm not entirely certain Onstad isn't writing wikipedia pages for literal rodeo bulls.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodacious_(bull)

quote:

Bodacious was dubbed "The World's Most Dangerous Bull" due to his habit of jerking guys down and then head butting them.[1] Many cowboys tried to ride Bodacious in his career. And many of the ones who did attempt a ride fell victim to his head butt and no longer had the face God gave them. Unfortunately, statistics were not as well maintained at that time. Generally, records show that Bodacious was attempted more than 130 times. Some say 8 and others say 10 times did he give up a qualified ride.

quote:

The first man known to own Bodacious was Bill McCann.[5] He would always laugh when he recalled how he sold the most famous bull in bull riding history for pennies on the pound. McCann was in the business of buying calves from Merrick Ranch. He and his co-owner, Bill, owned Geary Livestock Auction. They would buy from Merrick and then sell from the auction. Merrick Ranch was well known for its high value Simbray bulls and the robust calves they produced. When he and Bill got the call that there were 300 head available for purchase, they reacted swiftly. It was steer cutting time. McCann loaded his trailer up and drove to Oklahoma's Arbuckle Mountains. Bill culled about 16 of the fattest Merrick bull calves. His buyers wanted smaller calves, that, when castrated, would not drop a lot of weight. Plus, he liked their looks. These were eye pleasing cattle with gray-blues, creams, and one yellow. His buyers would want these calves. Well, those were good days; now the Merrick Ranch is no longer in existence.[5]

Unfortunately for Tuff, he would go for another attempt that resulted in a buckoff that culminated in the worst wreck on Bodacious in history. It required severe facial reconstruction surgery. After Hedeman and another rider, Scott Breding, suffered traumatic facial injuries, Bodacious was retired for being "too dangerous."
It's like a mix of Ray ripping off half of Cody Travis's face during the GOF and Lyle's girlfriend getting her neck snapped by his Baja, leaving seven of her teeth stuck in the steerin' wheel. Lyle even says "it was like a goddamn close-cab mechanical bull."

Call me low, but I do enjoy a good old-fashioned TV Dinner. I cooked one tonight, while Pat was away with his new fellow. Guess I'm going to be doing a lot of cooking on my own for at least a while. That is good, I can get by. I can turn on an oven with the best of them, I like to kid.

Tonight's dinner was a Swanson Hungry Man Classic Fried Chicken dinner. It was on sale at the Bell, two for one, and to wash it down I chose good, cold milk. Oh how my meal was fine. The lengthy cooking time was a temptation of agony, but at last I could peel the cover off and eat. Oh how I dined. Oh how salty the meat, how perfect the mashed potato compartment with its yellow area where the picture-perfect square of margarine had melted. The corn I did not care for. Oh how sweet and sticky the delicious berry crumb dessert. And I have one left.

I am only worried at my insatiate behavior after I finished the meal. I was in a salt-lust and ate an entire jar of peanuts. I will walk for a few hours, and drink orange juice, to help break down the nuts. The walking will help rock the sea in my stomach and erode the food into a fine, fine sand.

i had some peanuts earlier, and so was thinking about this

I made Galaxy Nachos for the first time last night. Toasting the corn chips definitely helps with structural integrity, but has the side effect of making them taste like slightly burnt popcorn. It's just the right amount of nuttiness in a complete bite with beans/salsa/jalapeno/what have you, but kind of weird on its own. As it is my birthday, I will be having Nachos at every meal.

(Man, Achewood was prescient in identifying the security issues at Yahoo, huh.)

AA Gill was fascinating because he was the kind of old-fashioned racist who believed that French and Welsh are races, and would write about it. Thanks for the link, because if I hadn't seen his picture I'd have always assumed that he was one of those cranky old men who look like half-melted candles.
