Has this ever happened to you?

We were watching Django Unchained a couple of weeks ago on the BluRay and I blurted out-"There weren't Boer goats in this country back then! They need to get their historical breeds right!" Nobody knew what I had just said-I could have been speaking Japanese.

I have almost driven off the road looking at a cow. I don't watch much television any more, but I used to go nuts at the inaccuracies I saw on television. The old Bonanaza show was one of the worst offenders. On the rare occasions where they showed cattle on the ranch they were dairy beef. With a very few phone calls whoever was in charge of livestock procurement could have found some beef cattle to rent, or even some Longhorns. Then on one show of Family there was a milk goat. Only it was a wether. In the area where Family was filmed there were a lot of 4Hers with dairy goat projects. They could have found a nice doe to borrow in nothing flat. But no, they used a wether. Could have been worse. It could have been a mature buck. Then there was the unforgettable sement of The Incredible Hulk where the soundman, trying to be dramamtic, used a tape of a hog for the vocalizations of a Brahma bull. There was a scene near the beginning of Juraasic Park that about sent me around the bend. The one where the Tyrannasaurus (sp) Rex broke through the side of the truck. I kept yelling that you don't attempt to handle large dangerous animals that way. And then there was the scene where the main characters were gallivanting alongside a herd of large dinosaurs saying they didn't need to worry because they were herbivores. So are Cape Buffalo, but you don't want to get close to them.

Happens all the time. My husband thinks I'm nuts. Made him stop one day going to his dad's home in Livingston to see a coop in someone's backyard!!

AHA!! so that was YOU sneaking in my backyard!!!

Yup, do it all the time!! My grand kids call me crazy chicken lady! You are not alone!!

YES!!!!! I have a horrible case of "chickennamingofbreedtitus"

i think my symptoms are at their worst when i watched the show "Merlin"
and i kept hearing the chickens doing the stress call.

my family walked in on me yelling at the TV to see what was wrong with the chickens!

As a Army family we do that with military movies, point out wrong stuff. I also point out amish areas by looking at the road side. My kidscomplain that I name EVERY country song as soon as it starts, singer not even singing. I do the chicken and livestock thing too.

Me too! My poor husband thinks my twins and I are the only obsessive compulsive chicken/coop/animal spotters in the world! We've started him obsessing about what animals he can spot and show us while driving around. "safely of course". We were thrilled last evening to see a herd of 16 deer run across the road in front of us. (The car behind us seemed to be mad about it though.) Can't wait till we can spot the next one! Susie Q And I love that quote, "refusing to have a battle of wits with an unarmed person"!!!

Yep, happens all the time! It's become somewhat of a novelty with my friends to point out chickens and ask me what kind they are...but that's also the kind of entertainment that happens when you put tired, stressed out vet students in a room together! Lol
