OT--Mad Cows (and Canada)

[Overlycheerful]

So it's official: the beast came from Canada.

Nutter! What do you have to say for yourself?

As GW has said, "This will not stand!" And, ironically enough, neither could the cow. Poor thing.

uhem.....

Moo.

Or is that quack?

I used to live close to Sunnyside, WA where the mad cow was found... only for a year though, many moo-ns ago.

I was thinking, wouldn't it be a fun mascot for a team? The Mad Cows... I'd laugh.

Yeah, yeah, yeah... it is serious business and affecting a lot of people in the Northwest (family of mine very much included). If I can't joke about it... noone can.

Well, ducks ARE an alternative. But, personally, I find them too oily tasting.
Chicken tonight?
Or how about a pig roast, IB?

You have to admit that any food that could end up putting holes in your brain is going to have a marketing problem.

I've heard it said that men can't get mad cow disease. "Why?" you may ask.





"because they're pigs".

Umm......... moo?

I'm a vegetarian.

Actually, I don't really know much about BSE, aka Bovine Spongiform Encephalities, aka Mad Cow Disease. How about I direct you to this website for more info:

Besides, I'm out of the continent right now and won't be anywhere near until after the end of the month. My biggest worry at the moment is SARS in Asia, as if I didn't have enough to worry about. Just my luck, I guess.........

Yeah, I do better with real material from my job. That material is usually funnier than what any comic writer could come up with.

Try Balut as a substitute for beef.
