Claybone,
Re personal_name
Sometimes the cow doesn't give any milk for an extended period (no pun
intended)of time. The cow tends to have headaches or is tired alot.
Sometimes the milk is old and soured.
The milk has gotten boring over time and it's time to taste new milk.
Just a few of the many answers to justify looking for milk.
Also, if you were getting the milk for free in the first place, why
would you have bought the cow anyway?????????
JaKe
|
200.20 | | CAM::WAY | Outfielder in the Bourbon | Mon Apr 02 1990 09:18 | 15 |
| Yes, and it's very important to remember to give the cow a
tuberculosis test on regular occasions. Milk from tubercular
cows should not be consumed.
Also, you have to watch out for mastitis, an inflammation and
possible blockage of an udder...
There are many hazards about keeping a cow at home. This should
really only be done by trained professionals.
If anyone has any cow questions, feel free to ask, and I'll impart
as much of my vast knowledge as I'm able...;^)

� How many stomachs do cows have?
Three or four, depending on where you start counting.
� Why do brahma bulls have that hump?
For balance when engaging in reproductive acts. The Brahma
bull is so agressive towards the female that often he can
get out of balance. The hump offset this peculiar tendency.
� Are charlois overrated due to pasture effects?
Only if the pasture is saturated in clover....

| It depends on whether or not they lose their cud.
If they don't, then there's no problem, because it serves the same
functions as a child sucking its thumb. A thumb sucking child can
literally have a building fall down around its ears and be none the
worse for wear.
However, it the cow loses its cud, then the cow could be scarred for
life. In fact, if it's bad enough, the cow will never produce milk
again, producing, in fact, small curd cottage cheese...
You heard it here first,

I don't think that's quite right, Frank. That hump is caused by the
cows' front hooves clamping action. I know that this is true since
my hump didn't appear until after I started dating. Of course my
hump is really scar tissue formed from long fingernails.

If anybody gets the chance to see it, I'd recommend a really gnarley
movie I saw last weekend.
It's about this farmer who's out walking in the dell when he hears
a voice out of nowhere say "If you plow it, he will come." He then
proceeds to take apart this little league field and turn it into
a meadow, to the great chagrin of the townspeople, and also his
wife who made a lot of money selling popsicles at the games.
After some time, he looks out the window, and sure enough, there
is this big ol' cow standing in the middle of his field. He goes
out, and sure enough the cow is none other "Jersey Joe", who was
rustled years ago and was presumed dead. The farmer just stared
in awe as the cow crapped in the field, and disappeared back into
the corn.
Days later, "Jersey Joe" reappeared with some other bovine buddies.
There was Mrs. O'Leary's cow who started the Chicago Fire. And there
was Elsie the contented Borden Cow (or was that Lizzie, I can't
remember.) Then came Ferd'nand the Bull, the cow that jumped over
the moon, and the cow that Jack sold for a handfull of magic beans.
Then the farmer hears another voice, "Ease her pain," so he grabs
the milking stool, takes the situation in hand and milks it for
all it is worth.
An udderly fantastic film. See it..it's called "Field of Creams."

riot! The picture shows her in a shoulderless dress that pushes her
boobs up. And of course, the resulting bulge is where the 16 fluid
ounces was injected in each one! The wording of the headline was
really humorous too (wish I could remember it exackly)!
Another rag's headlines: "Priest explodes during Exorcism!"
Too much.

What's wrong with SPORTS ?? The problem is exemplified by the
majority of responses to this very note ......
The "old" SPORTS had some very unique personalities ...... folks that
knew their sports, enjoyed barbing back-and-forth and didn't have to
resort to Dolly Parton-based humour .....
IMO this "new" SPORTS has become dominated by a few cliques ... which
is o.k. except when the replies take on a "you-had-to-be-there"
focus ......
Noter A " Wow, that beer you drank last night sure must have mixed
up your head "
Noter B " Yea, and weren't those pretzels great "
This may be interesting/humourous to those who "were there" , but to
the majority of the folks reading this file (and thinking of
participating) ..... YAWN.
I, personally, find the sexual humour pretty boring too ..... not
that I'm a prude, but c'mon ..... most of this stuff reminds me
of a high school locker room conversation.
Just my opinion ...... as Joni Mitchell said " You never know what

Check out MUSIC. I mean, they have these really radical debates.
If you think ACC Chris and Mr T go at it, you should check out the
PMRC note over there... one of the noters actually tries to make
everyone follow these debating rules and stuff...

200.65 | Dan's Obfuscations could be AntiNoting perhaps... | CAM::WAY | Outfielder in the Bourbon | Wed Apr 04 1990 12:55 | 21 |
| � Unless, of course, you were referring to all the "facks" he likes
� to create on certain subjects.
Yes, that's (clearly) what I was referring to.
Of course, there is a school of art/music called Antiart or Antimusic.
Particulary in Antimusic, one does whatever one can to destroy the
logical flow of what music is. An example of the ideal anitmusic
piece would be one where the music is written on a CRT, and as the
notes are played they disappear. the CRT display would be the
only copy of the music EVER in existence.... A sunset is a good
example of antiart.
My point is that even in antiart there is some "creativity".
Thus, when Dan sits down to leave us some DanSpore(tm) in the
form of a DanDiatribe(tm), he is, in his own way, being
creative...
Hope this helps,

MrT specializes in facks (tm), T-hypocrisy (tm), emotional diatribes,
and, occasionally (the most recent example being him accusing Georgia
Tech of paying off the refs in the Michigan State game) ludicrous and
deranged ramblings. (BTW - My own feelings are that he picks this

| THANKS for reminding of the reason I don't read this notes file very
often.
I suppose it did not occur to any of you so called men that not one
woman responded to your three day dribble. I don't wonder that any of
you sport geniuses noticed there are very few women who even use this
file as a forum to express what added dimensions sports give their lives.
I am a very big fan of organized sports, male and female. I have
been watching professional sports for 30 years of my life and I would
not take back one moment of this time for anything. My heart has been
broken by Montana, Clark, McCovey, Mays and countless others who gave it
there best, which wasn't good enough for a win that day. I stuck with
those GUYS and the teams to see some of them get to the top. It has been a
bumpy ride most of the time, but there is nothing like the feeling of
your team going to the SUPERBOWL or the World Series.
The main topic of discussion in this sports note seems to be how to
best beat up the players on the teams you like and cry like a bunch of
babies when they lose.
I too think this file can be much more than statistics, but where is the
heart of the sports that you claim you like. I have always admired the
men in sports who have the guts and the heart to go the distance. I
just don't think you guys even know what that means.

Caught "Amazon Women on the Moon" on the tube the other night.
They had to edit quite a bit for television, but where they cut
out a few parts, they inserted new material that was not in the
original.
This movie is tooooo funny. I especially like the singer called
Clarence "No Soul" Something-or-other. He's this black dude who
sings all Carpenters and Barry Manilow Songs...you know, the sappiest,
candy-coated songs ever written. If ya want a few good belly laughs,

| When I started this topic is didn't have anything at all to do
with anything at all serious about Sports. It had to do with
"Where have you gone RCASO". It had to do with what I thought
was Mr T leaving the file again (which turned out not to be true).
It had to do with some of the past noters who are maybe no longer
with the company, who used to liven things up.
You wanna see how sports affects our lives? Read the file, read
the drivel. For often times hidden in the stupidest replies are
the grains of the truth.
For me, I don't have to sit here and argue about whether player x
has more desire than player y. I won't assume to know something like
that since I don't know what motivates them to play the game to begin
with. I know why I would play, but not necessarily why they play.
Sports can be a microcosm of life. But it can also be a really
good way just to relax. Kind of like Cheers. Every answer doesn't
have to mean something....expecting that is like expecting to find
symbolism in the type of lettuce in a salad in a foreign film.
Sports doesn't really affect my life unless I'm watching a game.
Players (most of them) are not my role models, and after my teams
loses a game, I realize that the sun still comes up in the morning,
I'm still breathing, and the team will have another chance to disappoint
me again soon (follow the Whalers, the Red Sox, and the US National
Soccer team, and you get to know this....)
What happens in this file is that people, in a small way, through their
junk notes, and their serious ones, put in stuff about themselves.
Get to know THEM and you'll get to know how sports affects them..

I don't participate very often because we're a bit out of it over

I liked [ The man who turned a personal affliction into a career --

I also loved it when they were watching out the port, and the moon blew up, and
you could still see a piece of it hanging on the string that had been holding
it up.
It had some pretty good spoofs of the whole fifties genre: Sci-Fi movies, dorky

| Speakin' of livestock...
Two farmers met in town and got to talking. One farmer mentioned
to the other that he had a prize female pig on his farm, the second
farmer said that he had a prize male pig on his farm, so the two
farmers decided they would mate the two pigs and share the litter.
The next day farmer #1 picked up his female pig, put her in a
wheelbarrow and wheeled her over to his friends farm. While the two
pigs were in the act the first farmer asked the second farmer
"How will I know if my pig is pregnant?"
The second farmer explains, "Tomorrow morning, if she is rolling
around in the mud, that means she is pregnant."
After the pigs finish their act the first farmer picks up his female
and wheels her back to his farm. The next morning he wakes up and sees
his female out in the fields eating grass. So he again puts her in the
wheelbarrow and brings her to his friends farm. The next day she is
again out in the fields eating grass so the farmer loads her into the
wheelbarrow and wheels her over to his friends farm.
After about a week of unsuccessful attempts the farmer is at his wits
end, when he wakes up in the morning he can't bear to look at the
window, so he asks his wife,
"Honey, is the pig in the field eating grass?"
"No, she's not."
"Is she rolling around in the mud?!?"
"No, she's not rolling in the mud either."
"Then what is she doing?!?"
"She's sitting in the wheelbarrow!"

| Hey A&W, how'd you interested in sports?
My wife didn't used to care about football (or any other sport) for
years. It was really tough to be able to enjoy settling back with
a cold one and make it through the game without her getting upset
and feeling deserted. We talked about who was wearing the pants
in the family. With that out of the way she decided that if I
did the dished early enough then there would still be time to catch
most of the game.
To make a long, painful story short, I had to find a way to get
her involved in football watching. The main problem was that she
just didn't understand the rules and the object of the game. No
problem there. After explaining the basics of football she started
looking closer at the linesmen as they got ready to start a play.
Now that caught her attention when the screen filled with all these
shiney buns wrapped in semi-transparent pants.
That's all it took for *transformation*. Now its no problem to watch
a football game. If she's busy doing something I just yell, " Hey, Ma!
There's a game com'n on!". She says, "I know! It's Washington! I
LOVE their uniforms! I'll be right there."

| Hawk -
I wouldn't *dream* of looking when you pick up da heifers. It's
just that the whole freakin' *bus* is gonna stop when its a
good-lookin' bull (and youse guys don't get to peek, neither).
re root beer -
That's why the signature works, 'cause that's the strongest stuff
I drink. But I do a *great* high on it. Makes me a cheap date.
re how I got started wif sports -
damned if I know, it was sometime in high school. Prolly when my
best friend took me to my first Black Hawks game -- her dad was
manager of Chicago Stadium. We sat about 6 rows up, blue line,
right behind the bench. Except when we got the seats *between*
the benches. Hockey ain't the same on the tube, that's fer sure.
She jest showed me the publicity pic of Keith Magnuson, at 16 that
was all it took....
re curling -
It's played on ice. There is a big 'stone', which the teams slide
along the ice. You use a broom to sweep the ice ahead of the sliding

| I saw it (from afar), and it looked like a big, round, flat bottomed
stone with a handle. It reminded me of an oversized version of my old granny's
irons... the kind you used to heat up on a stove instead of plug in. It looked
like the `curler' would take a little run and slide the rock towards the target
(a circle?), and the other people on the team used brooms to sweep in front of
it, or brush snow in front of it, in order to control the speed. Actually, it's
probably fun to play, but not exactly something I got off on watching.

| After Hockey, Curling is the second most popular sport in Canada.
I kid you not. It's on CBC alot in the winter. The explanations
given in here are pretty close - it is a little like shuffleboard
- strategy involves getting your stone closest to the center ring,
and if you do that, protecting it by placing a stone in the way
of your opponents. You can bump your opponents' stone out of the
circle. The sweepers, who now use a nylon broon instead ofthe ol
corn broom, try, as Steven said, to guide the direction of the stone,
but more importantly, they try to guide the SPEED of the stone.
By increasing the tempo of the sweeping, they rough the ice up and
make the stone slow down. Good sweepers can make or break a curl.

Didn't they also invent that other stupid game where you try to
hit a little white ball into a hole a half a mile away? To warn
others that a ball was on it's way down the course, the player would
yell "Oh! It is hit", later shortened to "Oh, 'tis hit", which later
became the name of the game now known as "Oh Shit".
True story. Now would I make something like that up?

KING-SIZE ROMANCE
120-lb man tells why big gals make best wives and lovers
Gigantic fat gals are the sexiest women on earth, according to a skinny,
120-pound Romeo with a king-sized appetite for love!
Good-looking Gary von Schwebel, 25, is one of the ever-increasing number of
regular guys who are convinced that big women make the best lovers and wives.
Gary only has eyes for girls over 300 pounds. He'd love nothing more than
to settle down with a 500-pound beauty. When it comes to large ladies, Gary
admits, the sky's the limit!
SPECIAL BEAUTY
"I've been fascinated by the beauty and charm of fat women ever since I can
remember," declares Gary. "There's something very exciting about a girl who can
literally fill your arms.
"They're difinitely made for cuddling!"
Gary, who works for a financial institution, dated women of all sizes in the
past. But he soon learned that big women are more affectionate, compassionate
and caring than their skinny counterparts. They're also more faithful to men
who appreciate their special beauty.
INFLATED
According to Gary, there's a deeper, more spiritual side to fat women which
makes them ideal wives and mothers. And he's quick to point out that fat
doesn't mean ugly.
"My old girlfriend had long blond hair and the face of a Playboy model,"
Gary tells [name of rag]. "At 300 pounds, she looked like an inflated Heather
Locklear."
Finding heavy dates was no problem when Gary lived in Los Angeles and Casper,
Wyoming. But big gals are slim pickings in his new hometown of Albuquerque,
New Mexico.
"Fat women in Alguquerque are too weight-conscious," Gary explains. "I'm
looking for someone who's proud of being big.
"That's the kind of woman I want to spend the rest of my days with and
develop a spiritual bond with."
Convinced that his beloved behemoth is somewhere out there, Gary is asking
[name of rag] readers across the country for help in finding her. He is
romantic, easygoing, sensitive, totally sincere and willing to devote himself
forever to that one special person.
"I know I could make her the happiest woman in the world," he says confident-
ly.
Gary would love to hear from pen pals of any age.

TOUGH GAL IS A BOUNCER IN THE MEANEST BAR IN TOWN
Tough gal Joey Speicher has been whacked in the face, smacked upside the
head and threatened with a gun, but that doesn't scare the chief bouncer at one
on the toughest country-and-western bars in the west.
Joey, who stands 6-foot-3 and weighs a rock-solid 240 pounds, keeps hard-
drinking cowboys under control at the Beacon Club in Casper, Wyoming.
At the first hint of trouble, Joltin' Joey jumps off her barstool and grabs
the roughneck with a powerful armlock or shoulder hold.
She lets troublemakers off with a stern warning the first time, but promises
to "get ugly" if they want to take her on in a fight.
If a fight breaks out, Joey jumps in the middle and brazenly declares to the
barrom brawlers: "If you want to try me, go ahead - but I promise you'll get
your butt beat!"
Even though she gets his at least five or siz times a week, Joey says that
being a gal bouncer has its advantages because "cowboys are raised not to his
women."
But not all of the guys follow a gentleman's code when Joey tosses them out
the door on the seat of their pants.
One bar patron bashed in Joey's face and broke her nose in the parking lot
after she kicked him out of the club.
NO FEAR
Joey says she was a bloody mess - but she got up and hit her attacker three
times before he went down for good.
Another time, Joey found her life being threatened when she encountered a
drunk with a handgun kicking a car door in the parking lot.
The man threatened to blow Joey's brains out, but she cooly told him to go
ahead - and then she turned and walked away, showing no fear.
Joey says she's tangled with enough customers at the Beacon Club so that
most patrons know not to mess with her.
The night manager at the Beacon says she's one of the best bouncers in the
business because she can talk people out of fights - and she's not afraid of
action, Joey's boyfriend isn't too keen on her profession however.
He wants her to pursue a more lady-like career but Joey says she loves being
a bouncer because she doesn't take orders from anybody.

SPACE ALIENS TOLD ME HOW TO GROW TOMATOES AS BIG AS PUMPKINS...claims farmer
with astounding crops
A farmer whose gigantic 20-pound tomatoes are as big as pumpkins says he
learned the secret of growing monster vegetables from green-thumbed space
aliens!
Grateful Mario Cordato claims the aliens' amazing growing method saved his
faililng farm from certain bankruptcy.
"And the amazing thing is, growing huge vegetables is so simple," says the
47-year-old farmer and father of six.
"I don't know why I never discovered it myself. I owe everything to those
men from the heavens."
A team of government agricultural experts has visited Mario's farm and
confirmed that his vegetables are out of this world in size, color and taste.
GIANT ZUCCHINI
Mario's crop yielded tomatoes weighing from 12 to 23 pounds. His zucchini
ranged from two to three and a half feet long.
One head of lettuce was larger than a basketball and weighed more than five
pounds.
"Not only are the vegetables unusually large in size, their nutritional
content and flavor quality is excellent," says state official Hector Redonda.
"however, Mr. Cordato is being difficult revealing his secret.
HARVEST
"He deeps insisting that he was taught how to farm superior vegetables by
space aliens. This, of course, is outrageous."
Investigators are now testing the soil of Mario's 40-acre farm, which lies
northwest of Melo, Uruguay. They hope to identify unusual chemicals or fertil-
izers that could be responsible for the miraculous havest.
But Mario claims they're searching in vain.
"I learned the secret last May," he recalls. "My harvest had been pitiful
and my wife and children had gone to a special evening mass to pray for a
better crop.
"I was sitting in the field when I spotted a shooting star. It kept getting
bigger and suddenly I realized it was coming towards me. It settled in a nearby
grove of trees.
"I was frightened but curious, so I ran over. When I got there, I found a
large metal sphere about 25 feet high. A doo opened and three man-like
creatures came out.
TIMING
"They were no more than five feet tall and wore silver suits. Their skin was
very white and they had no hair or ears."
"I don't recall them making any sounds, but seemed like they were talking in
my head."
Mario claims the space aliens told him the correct time to plant, the pattern
of plowing and the exact amount of fertilizer to use.
"They said timing and positioning is everything when it comes to growing
crops," he says.
"And the exact time and position varies each year. Before they left, they
promised to return this year to instruct me for my next crop," Mario adds.

| SPAGHETTI KING
He can eat 20 pounds of pasta in 15 minutes
Mighty mouth Mike Harvey has a hard acto to swallow because he can eat 20
pounds of spaghetti in 15 minutes.
Muscleman Mike, 29, pounds down mounds of pasta each day as part of his
strict bodybuilding routine. To keep his massive body fueled for exhausting
workouts, his daily menu also includes five chickens and 30 eggs.
"I love eating pasta so much that some people think I must be Italian," says
Mike.
"But I'm just a guy who likes to eat healthy food that tastes good.
"I feel strong as can be after I have a big plate of spaghetti. Popeye the
Sailorman got strong by eating spinach, and I get my strength from pasta."
Mike's power-pasta diet must be working because his chiseled body is the
envy of both men and women, and has brought him many bodybuilding championship
trophies.
He's training right now for another competition, but this time he's only
lifting his knife and fork instead of heavy barbells.
Mike is practicing his speedy pasta-eating skills because he wants to win
the gold medal in England's National Pasta Eating Championship.
FAVORITE
"Eating 20 pounds of pasta in 15 minutes is no big deal for me," boasts Mike.
"It's like lifting weights, you just have to train properly."
After Mike showed off his pasta-eating prowress, oddsmakers made him the
favorite to squash the other spaghetti-eaters when the pig-out contest gets
underway.

In their time, the Clans of Scotland were some of the greatest warriors
on Earth. I'm not an expert on their history (because I've yet to
find a history in the library that wasn't totally impossible to follow).
If you've never been to Scottish games, they are real trip. Most
of the events are weight events, and these fellows are HUGE. Surprisingly
enough, the one event in the games which has no standardization is the
caber toss. There are limits, but the caber at any give games is
different from the one the weekend before.
And not anyone can wear a kilt and wear it well. It takes some manly
legs to do justice to a kilt. And if you piss off a Scotsman who's
got a kilt on, watch out when he reaches down to his right calf. That's
where he keeps his dagger (actually a dirk).....
And if ya keep at it, I'll not let ye on the bus....8^)

Now in this context an "INFLATED" Heather Locklear IMHO wouldn't have
anything to do with air. It would mean she was under the influence of
too many freakin' pizzas, a few hundred burgers, and a couple thousand
gallons of chocolate milkshakes. The only thing to do with air here is
how much flatulence all this food would create.
"INFLATABLE" Heather Locklear means if you get to frisky and bite into
one of her mammaries too hard, she farts and flies out the window of
her own power.
