OT: RANT!!!

But - remember that a 'rainbow' ribbon means support of the gay movement! So does that mean a rainbow sheep is a gay sheep?

Oh, the tangled webs we weave............

Oh here I was thinking Jesse Jackson!

Bah Bah Gay Sheep have you any boyfriends?

If you're striving to be PC, should'nt that read "significant others?"

Probably, but even "boyfriends" has too many syllables to scan properly.

I had a word that would've fit, but that one was DEFINITELY not PC.

The "Rainbow Sheep" around here are the ones that have been mated by the ram, who wear a dye saturated "stamp-pad" under their stomachs so they "stamp" the ewes! Always a fun game to count how many more in the flock bear the telltale dye on their backs when you take the dog for a walk!!!

We call the dye Red Raddle in our neck of the woods. The farmer removes those that have been done so the others can be served. Shirley

We often have BLUE raddled sheep here! I have on occasion (in a very large field) seen two colours in use, with two rams!!! I assume they remove the ones with the dyed backs at regular intervals. No sense in wasting energy!

Well - knegg - would sound rather like the english neigh (after all the g is silent in English).

I suppose one never knows..... ;-))

Evil laughter! Cheryl

Gee, how bout if we call white "CRACKER" or maybe "HONKY"? It never fails to amaze me the people who rant about political correctness are almost invariably white. And more often then not red staters in heart if not geography. All political correctness means, the REAL thing it means, not the Chimera the "red staters" would want you to believe, is to repect EVERYONE's rights and humanity. OH MA GAWD what a concept! But then I guess RUSH wouldn't like that huh?

Vulcan, of course! Or Orion Slave Girl. And blue is Andorrian.

You really know how to polarize people, in the Wrong way. Take the chip off and ps I not white, or taupe or, antique white, egg shell white or any other label you want to put on me.
