@@BlueJayYT My esteemed audience, back in my day, the world was but a strange and surreal place, where esoteric truths were whispered in hushed tones and danced on the fringes of perception. But alas, the tides have turned, and we find ourselves in an era where frenworld has become clownworld, a carnival of absurdity and incongruity. Amidst this chaotic tableau, let me tell you a tale of a shy girl of Indonesian descent, hailing from the quaint province of Brabant, Belgium. She, in her uniqueness, stood as the sole beacon of individuality among three girls who had found solace in adoption. From an early age, she bore the weight of a diagnosis known as ADD, that enigmatic acronym signifying "Autism Denial Disorder" in the language of the English. Maya, for that was her name, embodied the stereotype of a NEET, though she defied the norms by being a female. Within her, social withdrawal grew like a tangled vine, entwining her spirit and rendering her dependent and introverted. Few friends graced her presence, and the walls of her autism crippled her ability to engage with the outside world. A peculiar existence indeed, for Maya was no stereotypical hero, devoid of courage and burdened with apathy and reluctance. Her relationships were marked by passivity, her social anxiety casting doubts upon the worth of her being, leaving her disheartened, yearning for a raison d'être. Seeking to fill the void, she sought solace in the realms of anime and offered technical support to a certain Coco, whose nature eludes my comprehension. But what, you may ask, does this enigmatic tale have to do with the Jacks and the soy? Fear not, for I shall connect the ethereal threads. Within the realm of these strange communities, a Jack is but an entity, bearing the essence of soy, embodying a symbol of submission to a particular narrative. Gem and coal they may be, akin to upvotes and downvotes in other realms, each carrying its own weight and significance. Cobson, however, traversed a different path, as a coal forced into existence, forever marked by his inauthenticity. And so, my dear compatriots, as I stand before you today, stripped of levity and armed with this harrowing revelation, I beseech you to heed my words. Behold the shifting tides of our existence, where war has assumed the mantle of deity, casting its shadow upon the fabric of our lives. In the depths of "Blood Meridian," I discovered the indelible truth, woven by the pen of CornCob Muccarthy, whose likeness bears a disquieting resemblance to the essence of my own being. War, my friends, stands as an undeniable force, an unsparing arbiter of destiny that transcends mortal boundaries. Through the pages of that unforgettable tapestry, I bore witness to the relentless march of violence, an all-encompassing tempest leaving nothing but chaos and ruin in its wake. The divine authority it wields surpasses mortal limitations, demanding our attention and reverence. Therefore, as we stand on the precipice of this epoch, let us not falter, nor turn a blind eye to the perils that surround us. Embrace the revelations of CornCob Muccarthy's illustrious prose, for within its pages lies a path to wisdom and understanding. Let literature guide us in this tumultuous journey, as we navigate the enigmatic labyrinth of our world, seeking solace amidst the swirling storms of war, absurdity, and even the enigmatic realm of Israel.

Doing 2 week shifts living in a remote “line shack “ with his horse, checking fences, helping cows give birth, repairing windmills, breaking ice on ponds and troughs in the winter so the cattle could drink, slathering Vaseline on cow’s udders, because they got sunburned from sunlight reflecting off of the snow, and they wouldn’t let the calves nurse because it hurt.

She explained that in the 40ish years between the founding of the town and 1905 there were only two murders within the town limits and that both killers were dualy tried convicted and hanged for their crimes.

Bs deadwoods murder rate was historically off the charts

The north filly joke was superb, I love it

Amazing video as always, keep up the great work man!

I dunno why, but there's something so satisfying in seeing Alex suffer through the most humiliating and painful things that can happen to a person, all the while Jay laughs, taunts and mocks him.

19:10 “Oh Kansas” cough “me have medicine” as someone who’s been to Kansas I can confirm

It’s shocking how little has changed in the American West. Not even joking, get away from tourist spots and it’s basically just this but with a modern twist.

I only found your channel a few days ago & now I'm bingeing every episode that's currently available! I'm a diehard history nerd & big fan of comedy. You are absolutely hilarious my friend. Your content is completely original & remarkably creative. You have a gift & I for one, truly appreciate that you are sharing it here with all of us on KZread.❤ p.s.- The bird is my favorite part of your videos btw, don't ever change it, plz! 🙏

20:46 I was not expecting a Justin Trudeau jumpscare

That pentagon joke was absolutely unexpected.

4:34 as someone from north Philly, this is the funniest and most accurate shit I’ve heard in a while.

I grew up farming cattle. Grew up in the saddle, although most of my youth I preferred bareback. In my teens I used my dirt bike though. It was pretty monotonous to be frank, but in my older age after the oilfield and army, farming isn't so bad. Especially if you're netting zero with your food cost.

I feel like it was significantly worse in the mid to late 1800s

Thanks for putting in Elmer. His story is just so good.

For those wondering about the current day conversion of a cowboy’s monthly pay it’s equivalent to 900($25)to 1440($40) dollars.

ok, I'm officially naming a human town on Lost Initiative 'Armadillo Ball-Deep' and there will be a Sheriff named 'BlueJay' looking for the outlaw 'Tombstone Philly-hatin'-Cheesesteak' -- This is too good.

Hi there BJ! 😉 I'm enjoying your videos. I find them to be informative AND funny! Good job. Keep up with good work! SUBSCRIBED!

I love how literally the “cowboy” is another word for farmer or cowherder lol. If you wanted an exciting life on the wild frontier, try the revenant. That’s closer than whatever Clint Eastwood gave us lol.

Always a good day when Blue Jay uploades.

So glad you are back... These videos really brighten my day!

This one was so well made, great jabs and peak entertainment please. Loved it.

Building my own log cabin out of logs and rocks might not be easier than modern apartments and houses, but damn it would be cheaper these days.

This is outrageously good production..well done sir. Youve out done yourself again.. A day with a BlueJay video is a great day :).

I live in Utah, have for 44 years now. That makes me, "The man from Utah" (old western movie). What I can tell you is that the "old west" never really made any sense. Even the dates are weird. One of my teachers described the "old west" as the time from when the was "opened up" (taken from Mexico) 1846 to the time the trains started making the journey faster 1869. In 1846 the Donner/Reed party took a "shortcut" theorized to take two weeks off the trip to California. No one but the indigenous had gone that way so they had to cut a trial through the Utah mountain's. A trail a certain group of religious extremists took to reach the Salt Lake Valley one year later in 1847

@@cavaleirodosul284 Out west? Not so much. 1920's you're talking about the prohibition gangster times. Even Bonnie and Clyde did most their stuff in the 1930's. Of course you have outlaws in every time. But that romantic criminal trope was mostly jazz age it "old west". Billy the Kid, who was definitely a kid died at age 21. Died when the change over really happened from cattle raisers driving their herds over the planes. Was being phased out by the railroads. The fact the cattle war happened in New Mexico isn't quintessential. That was one of the last places that drives were still going on in an industrial scale.

This is just me, but I never met anyone who confused a cowboy for a gunslinger

As a Canadian viewer with self appointed "official authority" to speak for all Canadians I am both deeply offended and deeply honoured by your low blows at us in this video! (obviously kidding and loved the jokes as always).

"Do you know how to mine?" followed by broken sobbing absolutely sent me

I find it hilarious that the Cow in Samonella’s video on the journey of a beef cow is also named Craig. As if this Craig is him grown up. The prequel if you will.

For some reason I find this moving PNG of a bird incredibly adorable.

Something to dull the pain till I go back to work. I feel it

You have a real talent to get laughs out of otherwise incredibly bleak topics. Love your channel!

I don´t care about any wacky upload schedule, every time I see a new video of the funny, talking blue bird it makes my day :)

7:29 | Sir, I challenge you to a duel. Today at noon, in front of the local KFC. Nobody insults the Double Down

Holy shit blue jay, this is easily some of your best work, Ive watched literally all of your videos and this is my favorite so far. Absolutely hilarious. You should do the golden age of piracy next, would love to hear about the joys of scurvy from you

“Legendary on neither side of the Mississippi” had me dying

Fun random wacky fact about the Val Kilmer/Tombstone reference: Not only does the town of Tombstone exist in Arizona (and it's a MASSIVE tourist trap), but inside one of the saloons they play the movie Tombstone on repeat all day, every day. 7/10, would go again. In all seriousness, the Copper Queen Mine tour in Bisbee right next to Tombstone is pretty awesome as well.

@@BlueJayYT Back in my day, surviving the wild west only cost a whopping 14.88 dollars! Oy voy, those were the days before frenworld became clownworld and before them soyjacks took over. We had a good ol' time, being based and all, without a cunny in sight. Now, let me tell you about this shy girl of Indonesian descent hailing from Brabant, Belgium. She's the ONLY one of the 3 girls who wasn't adopted, and boy, she had quite the story. Diagnosed with ADD, or as they say in English, "Autism Denial Disorder," Maya was a stereotypical NEET but female. With immense social withdrawal and crippling autism, she found solace in anime and tech support for Coco. Ah, those were the days. But now, it's over.

This video was a RIDE! Fantastic work BlueJay, you make great stuff.

Having had my catalytic converter stolen from my 2006 Honda Accord the third day of having it while going to school in Philly, I was not expecting that line and nearly spit out my drink. Well played BlueJay.

I may know a lot of this stuff, and you just covered the history for most people. Popular history tends to focus on the cool stuff.
