There's nothing important about this post!

Just what does a thrasher do, anyway? Does it beat the plant until the seed (wheat, rye, whatever) separate and fall off the stalk?

Okie, so the thrasher beats it until the seed separates from the stalk.

Yep. It was used for the "grass" grains (wheat, rye, oats, barley, etc.).

Ut oh, we may be in trouble.

[J.W.Neely]

Thrash who?

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

Thrash Johnson. He lives about a mile away, one of Buck and Betty's sons. But that's not why we may be in trouble.

What do you mean  " WE "?

[Micheal Fortune]

Then they come along and hooked up a cutter and a thrasher all in one, combination cutter, thrasher, self propelled, and call it a combine.   You may thank that loaf of bread in your bread box to the modern combine.

They also cut rice Slim, you ain't lived until you stuck some big cane tires on a combine and drove it off into a rice paddy....

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

What do you mean  " WE "?

Oh no you don't, J.W., you can't wriggle your way out of this one, this time! You're in it, right next to me and Slim and the rest of us.

Of course, we all know....

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

See, there's nothing important about this post. And nothing posted has been important, until Slim posted that thing about the thrasher, so now knowledge has been exchanged on this otherwise trivial and light hearted thread, and now someone could possibly claim that there is, indeed, something important about this post!

And

It is all Slim's FAULT!!

Actually, that's Milt, the cornfused pilgrim who moved West and decided to be a turkey rancher. At the last Pepper Mill Creek Gang's shoot, we had to save Milt and Milt's Thanksgiving from a bunch of turkey rustlers, The Heckler Gang, cranberry poachers, and pie thieves. This particular Milt is after he got shot.

Well, that 'splains it. The other night I was showing my better half some of the threads and she commented on it. She thought it had a Pilgrim hat on. She was right! 

Slim

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

She's a smart lady.
I show my son these threads... he laughs and says we are "random."

I reckon he's correct.

Kind of. Random means you never know what is going to be said next, nor the direction of the conversation. It's..... random.

From him, it's a compliment.
