[...] I think I started using this word because I was collecting food for my brain, and because I knew that I wanted to have it around to look at and digest on a regular basis. To discover that it’s primary usage is one associated with livestock (just like the word tether) amuses me to no end. I suppose that sometimes it does seem like there is a part of my brain that is a big, dumb, hungry cow that needs to be fed and kept from wandering off. I just never thought of it that way before. No particular fondness for bovines. [...]
