Ledasdottir remarks: Dairy cows eat too

And then there are those who differentiate between eating apples and other kinds (e.g., cooking apples).

How'd it get changed to "wicked" when we were still discussing cricket?

"patty cake, patty cake, baker's man..."

Well, that makes sense. You probably haven't dated or been married to a gay man...

Heard tell that during the Great Depression, kids used to collect them in Southland and they were dried off in the corner of the hayshed. They were then burned for fuel. And still are in Africa. So they do have their uses ... provided you don't STEP IN THEM!

BTW where did cricket come into this thread, AnnaS?



The idiot also known as Capfka ...

My mother used to work at a Boy Scout Camp, she ran the Cow-chip toss on Fridays. The key is to find a really dry one.

You mean they've all been sad? I suppose I'd be too if some girl started chucking organic frisbees at me.
