oh.

that's b-a-a-a-a-d.

FIRST! to make that bad joke!

[slyeyes]

.....New Zealanders had no reason to be embarrassed about their sheep population...

One shouldn't be embarrassed about their kids.

[jon]

Tourists will be flocking in from as far away as West Virginia, & the Ozarks!

[slyeyes]

Hmmm....should I go for the hat trick, or leave well enough alone?

[Siouxie]

New Zealanders' love affair with sheep...

hmmmm

[slyeyes]

*sigh*

[otis wildflower]

Cue pissed-off fundamentalists in 5.. 4.. 3...

[Gadfy]

The 15 to 1 ratio is to blame. It's just too easy

[Christobol]

That's 15 sheep per person!

If you can't laid in New Zealand...

[Gadfy]

if ewe can't get laid in New Zealand?

[The Dread Pirate Chris]

"...enjoy dinner with a lamb..."

So now I have to wine-and-dine the livestock before I paint its butt orange and put a dress on it?

[Christobol]

*menu at New Zealand McDonalds*

Big Mutton
Quarter Pounder Mutton with Mutton
Mutton McNuts

"I'll have a number 3 with a coke."
"Would you like to McMutton size that?"
"Sweet mercy, no!"

[Siouxie]

Chris, like you always say...whatever bloats your goat...um..or lamb in this case.

[Jemmy]

I have to tease my ex about this. Not at 8 AM on a Saturday, but I have to tease my ex.

And C-Bol, McDonald's may not have had a mutton burger but they did have a Kiwi Burger. It had a fried egg on it.

[Edgar Greenberg]

Half of me is tempted to wonder why mutton should even have McNuts, and the other half is thinking ewww.

[southerngirl]

*is not surprised to see c'bol on a sheep thread*

*is surprised that he was relatively well behaved* ;)

[Kaffy (In Disguise.. With Glasses)]

It wasn't me, I swear!!

Well, there was this one ram....

Um, never mind! Moving on, nothing to see here...

[sthnbelle]

Congrats, jon - you're faster than me - I sent judi a mess 'o links, including this one!

[Christobol]

just trying to keep you off balance, southerngirl.

[bathead]

And how many are wearing wellingtons facing cliffs?

[fivver]

Have they re-written the nursery rhyme:

Marty had a little lamb,
it's fleece was white as snow.
And everywhere that Marty came uh, arrived,
the lamb was there, you know.

[John]

Are there greeting cards for Lamb day?
Songs?
"I just called to say, 'I love ewe'...."

[Kaffy (In Disguise.. With Glasses)]

Ewe are the sunshine of my life...

[insomniac]

new k.y. jelly ...mint flavored!

[estrogen centrale]

insom - hysterical!
I just forwarded this article to our resident Kiwi, asking him if he is buying the lamb chops for the house on 15/2 (that's 2/15 for us Yanks.)

[BillyJoeJimBob]

Always remember to practice safe sex -- put a mark on the sheep that kick.

[JDH]

Snorks at BillyJoeJimBob...Is it true what they say about what Aussies have taken to calling New Zealander sheep ships:? "Kiwi love boats!"

[Mot the Hoople]

The Aussies have got nothin' to be smug about when it comes to sheep.

[AFKAT]

Ahhhh, New Zealand...where mem are men...and the sheep are nervous...

[AFKAT]

Ahhhh, New Zealand...where men are men...and the sheep are nervous...

[Jemmy]

My ex's response, from Wellington:

"I guess now it will be easier to buy velcro gloves."

[Baaaarry]

G'day. I think you people in the EweSA are being very harsh on us kiwis. Haven't any of you ever thought, on a cold day, how nice it would be to get into something nice and warm and wooly? Anyway, You can get a better grip on a sheep's ear, You can sell a sheep when you're tired of it, Sheep don't shy away from boots and leather, A sheep won't care if you keep your fish bait in the refrigerator, Sheep grow their own fur coats and Sheep don't mind doing it in a pickup truck.

[Ed]

Did you hear that New Zealanders have recently found two new uses for sheep? Yep.... wool and meat!
