*writes on board* 0 0 3 3//4 0 3 3 "Again, talking in our secret coded language, we all know what that means... so somebody else coming in, sneaking in, are [sic] totally clueless. They probably think it's somebody's pin number and are going to try to break into my bank account. I'm not that dumb... now it occurs to me that that would be a great pin! I'll think about it... I'll have to think about it. Ahh anyway. Well, that's the dental formula. Again you can see that cattle have no upper incisors, they have a dental pad, pinch the grass..."

"Anyway, it was a big social upheaval of what's going on on the plains. These cowboys want to move cow [sic] across land so they can take them to market. People were trying to homestead that land. Lots of people got killed in the process. But in the end, Joseph Glidden sorta solved that problem by creating barbed wire so that you couldn't move animals across my land but you could also fence the animals into a particular space. And what you really see is that the age of the quote cowboy lives for about 10 to 12, 15 years. The cowboy died out. The cowboy became a rancher. There's still people who like to do it and dress like it and so on, but it's just not the big thing it was when we think about the history of the United States."

"A lot of you, I'm sure, are clearly aware that in 1874, Joseph Glidden invented barbed wire. And that pretty much was the end of cowboys. Because what's happening at the same time is there's westward expansion... people are trying to build farms in the middle of the United States and they don't want some cowboy riding his cattle right across their ground. And so that's why when you watch the musical Oklahoma *starts singing* "oh the cowboy and the farmer can be friends"... no?... Oklahoma was a play. Oklahoma is a state. How am I doing?"

"… so what happens? Now you get a bunch of crazy bums and losers that get on horses… sorry that’s just another name for cowboy."

"In 1867, a really smart guy named Joseph McCoy bought up a piece of land and he named it Abilene, Kansas. It was right on the railhead. Then he sent out flyers all throughout the southern United States that he would pay forty dollars for anything that could live - forty buck a head… you bring it here, I’ll give you forty dollars. I don’t care if it’s the mangiest looking piece of animal I ever saw in my life. That’s good money. So what happens? Now you get a bunch of crazy bums and losers that get on horses… sorry that’s just another name for cowboy."

"You don’t let foreign proteins into your body: they can be infectious agents and they can kill you. So the reason our stomachs don’t let proteins into our blood just run around and have the opportunity to kill us is because they can be dangerous elements... that’s the whole purpose of your stomach and your small intestine and your liver. They don’t know what you’ve eaten. They don’t trust you. God knows what you put in your mouth. So they’re going to take everything in, your liver is going to look at every chemical that comes in and goes “that’s poisonous, I’m breaking that down... I’m taking that apart, you’re not going to kill me!”."
