Zixar! Why are you beating dead horses? Isn't that unfair to them? I know it doesn't hurt them because they can't really feel it when you do... but why beat them in the first place? There's too much beating going on around here I'm thinking.
Tell ya...dead horses is naaasty. Beating them produces nastier consequences......lol sorry Zix...I had a hose die last month ...your topic brought back some vivid mind pics...I agree ...beating is useless...bury em is the only solution......otherwise you have to deal with flies n stench...bloating...eeww
And how much should you tip a cow, anyway? 15%? 20%? Does it make a difference if the cow is raised on an organic farm? If there's a party of 15 or more, is the tip automatically added? If it is, we could all sneak out and leave the dead horses with the bill.
I didn't think so... I just thought he was on a rejecting kick... I didn't take them that way... although they do appear to be very serious in content...
I don't think so either, ex. I think people are just having fun.
About that cow - I don't remember what Amy Vanderbilt says exactly. I'll see if I can find it, but I think you do add more if you get steak and milk, but ground is cheaper.
Once, when I was pre-school age back in the early '50s, I saw a bloated dead mule on my great-grandmother's farm. I don't think I would have liked trying to hit it :-)
The pig-ride... now that was something else indeed!
I say place the people poking possums, the "pokers", in a part of the planet appropriate for possum poking, a place where people can poke with impunity. Then place the possums to poke in that place. Call it "the pokee". Then when people get sent to the pokee, they'll be prepared for what to expect.
Or you could stick some of the pokers in the stickee. The stickee is where the stickers stay when they want to start to stick. Silly stickers would be farmed out to play stickball and get stuck with the stallions standing in the stall. But not the dead ones. I guess.

Steve!
Why would you give money to a cow? the cow would probably just ignore it, poop on it, or chew it.

Now there's something that can't be beat!

what's a "hidey hole"? is it something akin to a "spider hole" like Saddam had?
Is there electricity? plumbing? food?

Heidi Holes, Tom? Isn't that a Swedish movie?
Oh, wait. Hidey holes.
:o--> Sorry.
Never mind.
Carry on.
I think hidey holes come with food and cabinet space, but I can't swear to it.

Well, I think the beating of dead horses can give one something to do when nothing else is going on.

And Steven Wright would say ---
"Once I saw someone poke a stick at a dead possum.
He got up and ran away.
He was only playing possum."
