OK, he named his cow "legs"?

1500 pound legs? To quote Robin Williams - "Those arent calves - those are STEERS!"

"It"??? In my book, if it's pregnant, it's a "she".

Another cow 'body-blocked' her. The same thing happened to me when I played field hockey.

Pregnant in a manure bog? I've heard of odd cravings during gestation, but this . . .
Calls to mind the milk judging scene from "Napolean Dynamite":
(sip)This one got into an onion patch . . .(sip) This one wandered into a manure pit.

So, wait... why would someone need a 12-foot-deep manure pit?
Also, why does this bother no one else?

Posted by: Sarah J | June 08, 2006 at 12:37 PM
YAY! Rock garden!! Those are the best kind, or at least the easiest to take care of.
Posted by: Sarah J | June 08, 2006 at 12:39 PM
I have never managed to kill a rock, anyway.
And thanks, everyone! I kinda figured I would get it, but I was still a little nervous - and it still is not official, but it looks like just a matter of getting the paperwork in order.
Posted by: ASKtCDaAC | June 08, 2006 at 12:42 PM
huff puff huff puff *drags suitcase full of Tecate up to new thread; falls into chair*
I just want you all to know that as a direct result of this lastest move, I have Little Peggy March-ing through my brain:
"...and where they go I'll FOLLOW, I'll FOLLOW, I'll FOLLOW/ they'll always be the KILTIES, the KILTies, the KILTIES/ from now until..." it takes too long for the thread to load.

So what should we call this thread?
YAYYYYY ASK! (If I could find one, there would be a "and the crowd goes wild!" sound link right here, but I can't, so please imagine it.)

Posted by: Meanie the Blue | June 08, 2006 at 01:57 PM
What should we call this one? I have it as MOO on my bookmark bar (just cause it's short) but I think it needs a name. MOOsik II? Any other ideas?
Posted by: Sarah J | June 08, 2006 at 02:03 PM
I called it moovie kilt.
*hugs everybody back*
*is sad for wolfie*
Posted by: southerngirl | June 08, 2006 at 02:14 PM
I think we've already had a MOOsik II, Sarah. But this made me think of something else.... In the '70s, a Finnish author named Tove Janssen wrote a series of children's stories about a lovely, huggable group of creatures called Moomins. There are worse things than being a Moomin.
Posted by: sharon share-alike | June 08, 2006 at 02:15 PM
I vote for "Moomin Kilt" because I've never heard of them before, and because they're so dang cute.
Posted by: KDF | June 08, 2006 at 02:28 PM
even if they don't have mouths or noses
Posted by: Sarah J | June 08, 2006 at 02:30 PM
We're mouthy enough to make up for it. :)
Posted by: KDF | June 08, 2006 at 02:32 PM
They are extremely cute--and they have many wonderful adventures, which I think is appropriate for this group. So I dub us the MOOmin (Most Of Our Minds INtact) Kilt.
dub dub dub dub dub dub dub dub...
You KNOW I love doing that.
Posted by: sharon share-alike | June 08, 2006 at 02:34 PM
Hi everyone who wasn't here when I said hi before!
D'ja ever have one of those lifetimes when everything just went right?
Me neither, but I am determined to make this one go that way from now on. It is amazing how just a couple of completely
out of the blueunexpected events can turn everything around!I just always call them the kilt.
Posted by: ASKtCDaAC | June 08, 2006 at 02:35 PM
the new sites, not the unexpected events

I kinda liked it better the other way, Sarah.
*smoooooooch* for ASK! I'm so glad to hear it. AND I'm hoping that that potential *FOOM*age you mentioned before might be still contributing to your happiness? Hmm???
(Yes, I'm being nosy. Sue me.)
Posted by: sharon share-alike | June 08, 2006 at 02:52 PM
Everyone, go check out the Miami vs. Dallas thread on the MB. A few goobers showed up to trash Dave for poking fun at Dallas, and ASK just did an outstanding, effective, and very classy job shutting them down.
*smooches ASK, is proud to be a Kiltie and an FOD (Fan of Dave)*
Posted by: KDF | June 08, 2006 at 02:57 PM
YKWY(NY)ADBBAW it's the first thing you check in the morning
(my email alerts me when I have messages and usually in the morning there aren't any)
Posted by: Sarah J | June 08, 2006 at 03:11 PM
Well, I just said what I think, anyway. No place for that on the blog, imho.
Sharon - be nosy all ya want. Not just potential, anymore, and yes - she is the underlying (no pun intended) reason for my new and improved outlook. People just respond better to this ridiculous smile than they did to the old sneer.
As far as the job being unexpected - I didn't apply for it, they called me asking for an interview. I showed up in khakis and a Hawaiian shirt with all the earrings in and basically just saying, "yes, I'm good enough to show up like this - now what do you have to offer?" And they basically offered whatever I want. I like that kind of offer. When I went back this morning, I dressed a bit nicer, but kept the attitude. It worked, but when he introduced me to the assistant principals, the principal did say that he was a bit disappointed that I didn't have a Hawaiian shirt on.
Posted by: ASKtCDaAC | June 08, 2006 at 03:12 PM
Actually, I know because I knew immediately what "YKWY(NY)ADBBAW" meant.
And it is the second thing I check - I always have e-mail.
Posted by: ASKtCDaAC | June 08, 2006 at 03:14 PM
And I am proud to be able to say that I knew the famous Sarah J when all she did was make cupcakes.
Posted by: ASKtCDaAC | June 08, 2006 at 03:15 PM
yet another one from me - the job is now official.
Posted by: ASKtCDaAC | June 08, 2006 at 03:22 PM
YAYYY!!!
Okay, now we need to suck up to Sarah J, because we really need some cupcakes.
oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please...
*is inspired by ASK's new outlook and very happy for his great day*
Posted by: KDF | June 08, 2006 at 03:28 PM
Congratulations, ASK! And I like the principal's principles.
(I'd wait a week or so before showing up in the grass skirt, though)
Posted by: Betsy | June 08, 2006 at 03:35 PM
Woo Hoo!!!
*high-fives ASK*
Congratulations, and I'm SO happy for you. Good stuff happening in both your professional AND personal life...I'm grinning like crazy for you over here.
You deserve it, too.
*smooch*
Posted by: sharon share-alike | June 08, 2006 at 03:49 PM
ssa's crazy smile
Posted by: Sarah J | June 08, 2006 at 04:17 PM
That is a great smile - but I kinda imagined ssa being a little more...legal.
Posted by: ASK, the Clearly Deranged | June 08, 2006 at 04:21 PM
It's her smile on someone else's face
Posted by: Sarah J | June 08, 2006 at 04:23 PM
Thanks, Sharon. I'm not sure what I did that the karma train finally pulled in this way, but if I find out, I'll sure keep doing it!
Betsy - school doesn't start for a couple of months, so I'll be able to keep the grass skirt on until August.
Kay - I seem to recall you had a job opportunity coming up somewhere in the future - I'll send all the karma waves your way for that one when the time comes.
Posted by: ASK, the Clearly Deranged | June 08, 2006 at 04:26 PM
Sarah, sweetie...I love you, but that is NOT my smile.
THIS is my smile.
Posted by: sharon share-alike | June 08, 2006 at 04:31 PM
I just get a "tripod image" there Sharon.
Posted by: ASK, tCDaAC | June 08, 2006 at 04:35 PM
your smile is green and blue dots?
Posted by: Sarah J | June 08, 2006 at 04:35 PM
Oops. Let's try this again.
Posted by: sharon share-alike | June 08, 2006 at 04:39 PM
...or not. Humph. Nevermind.
Posted by: sharon share-alike | June 08, 2006 at 04:40 PM
Its okay Sharon, we know you are cute.

*snork!* Thanks, ASK!
Posted by: sharon share-alike | June 08, 2006 at 04:50 PM
Time to go handle more RL stuff. Back late - after the game.
My prediction - Split in Dallas, Mavs take 2 in Miami, then finish it up in game 6.
But Shaq seems awfully inspired.
Posted by: ASK, tCDaAC | June 08, 2006 at 04:59 PM
sure it will happen.
What was it that Dave wrote to Shaq.
Welcome to Miami, Start winning!
Onto other subjects.
Moomins sounds familiar. Will they be going door to door? If so, I have been trained in it.
Posted by: Alfred | June 08, 2006 at 05:12 PM
Alfred!! Seems like it's been a long time since you've been around
Posted by: Sarah J | June 08, 2006 at 05:15 PM
yeah, Alfie, like since October 25, 2005 or so (last kilt site, for all you moomins out there)
Posted by: ASK the Clearly Deranged | June 08, 2006 at 05:20 PM
Sorry, finals got a good hold of me. Then the day after I just slept. Barely woke up this... afternoon.
Vacations are so nice. I guess I just needed a weeks break before getting into things again.
Boy am I, I will be taking Summer Classes.
Posted by: Alfred | June 08, 2006 at 05:20 PM
Oh and in case anyone is in the need for surplus tacky paintings.
Posted by: Alfred | June 08, 2006 at 05:25 PM
My grandparents own a condo. I get nostalgic for the old paintings in it. They feel like some one decided to make the most generic art possible.
Posted by: Alfred | June 08, 2006 at 05:27 PM
After looking thought this, I could decorate an entire apartment for less then a $1000. My mother would have a heart attack though.
Posted by: Alfred | June 08, 2006 at 05:33 PM
Tacky art gives me heart attacks too, so I won't click on the link
Posted by: Sarah J | June 08, 2006 at 05:35 PM
oh ok.
The furniture is pretty funny as well.
Posted by: Alfred | June 08, 2006 at 05:41 PM
Oh yeah, something interesting.
One side is a game called real-life and the other is a picture of a town called crysis. Which one looks computer rendered.
Posted by: Alfred | June 08, 2006 at 05:43 PM
I was kidding, that art is really really bad
Posted by: Sarah J | June 08, 2006 at 05:44 PM
Wee are gathered here today, to mourn our loss of SarahJ. She was a wonderfully cheery soul but she looked at tacky art and died of Heart Failure.
May she rest in peice. And may the after life give her much better art from here on
Posted by: Alfred | June 08, 2006 at 05:50 PM
almost as bad as the MoBA
Posted by: Sarah J | June 08, 2006 at 05:53 PM
That is a worthy peice of art. I am truly grateful that they have a museum for such.
Where is the angst section?
Posted by: Alfred | June 08, 2006 at 06:12 PM
If you want a disturbing game try this.
Posted by: Alfred | June 08, 2006 at 06:20 PM
*zips in*
I have lots to say. (Unusual, I know)
1. Congrats to ASK!! WTG!!!
2. Here is a seriously neglected rock garden.
3. I just call these March 18 Kilt 7.
4. I told that dirtbad on the basketball thread he was rude, and DB personally thanked me!!! YAY me!
5. YAY, ASK!
Posted by: Eleanor | June 08, 2006 at 06:25 PM
This is March 18 8 for me.
Posted by: Eleanor | June 08, 2006 at 06:26 PM
so far 8 have been kilt. We do not know how long this will last. But there seems to dancing in the streets over this matter.
Posted by: Alfred | June 08, 2006 at 06:32 PM
The rock garden has bad chi.

{{El!}} What an honor! To be addressed by His Daveness himself! I'm all envy over here. WTG!!

Actually, I know because I knew immediately what "YKWY(NY)ADBBAW" meant.
Check. Me too!
El, I was very excited for you when Dave addressed you by name! And, okay, I was kinda jealous.
And *snork* at ASK, The Clearly Deranged and Apparently Cute for "underlying."
Posted by: KDF | June 08, 2006 at 07:17 PM
I was jealous too, but then, don't we all wish we were El?
(except SJ, of course, who is obviously the best possible person she could be already)
Posted by: ASKtCDaAC | June 08, 2006 at 07:24 PM
I am glad I am not El. It would mean a lot of changes in my life. And the suddenly being a woman part would be the first.
Posted by: Alfred | June 08, 2006 at 07:33 PM
If you had been El all along, it probably wouldn't be that much of a shock. Except maybe first thing in the morning.
Of course, being attracted to A-Rod would be a bit much for me to take.
Posted by: ASKtCDaAC | June 08, 2006 at 07:39 PM
Yeah, and then wondering if I am in Seattle or LA... That would make me look a little odd. Because they have so much in common, I could wear the same clothes.
There is another problem I suddenly see. Wearing womens clothing, not so bad because I am in fact El. But I might feel odd. Yesterday I had no need for a bra. Today I must wear a wrather sporty one.
And I don't care much to be a lawyer... or a mother for that matter.
Though saying, "I brought you into this world, I will take you out!" with feeling will have so much more meaning.
Posted by: Alfred | June 08, 2006 at 07:42 PM
On the other hand I think El is cool.
Posted by: Alfred | June 08, 2006 at 07:57 PM
I think I broke the internet...
Posted by: Alfred | June 08, 2006 at 08:07 PM
My internet still works, so you couldn't have broken the whole thing
Posted by: Sarah J | June 08, 2006 at 08:11 PM
oh good to read.
Well going to a dinner thing with some friends.
Hopefully my parents will figure out that I am going on dates. The last 10 have not been noticed by them. then they complain that I need to go on more dates.
Posted by: Alfred | June 08, 2006 at 08:22 PM
*snork* at Alfred
Tell them! I bet it will make them happy.

Posted by: ASK the Clearly Deranged | June 08, 2006 at 10:44 PM
N E 1 still awake? Fyi, I'm attempting to fly standby to Oregon to see my sister and my darling nephew tomorrow morning. So if I get on, you probably won't hear from me all day. I'll be too busy singing silly songs and reading Beatrix Potter books aloud. If I don't, I'll be here blowing up kilts and cursing Delta under my breath sometime around noon.
