"The Steaks Were So High"

I was listening to the radio today, while working(big surprise, what else am I going to do?). I heard one of the DJs mention this. I watched it and maybe it is just me but, damn. I was laughing my ass off. My dad owns a large farm in southern MO and used to own quite a few cattle. My brothers and I used to help out(my older brother and I never lived there, my two younger brothers really didn't have a choice). I remember herding the cattle to the coral for various reasons. One year my dad had the misfortune of having a crazy cow. She would seperate from the herd and then, as cattle do, some would just blindly follow her. It got really frustrating. We finally managed to get them all in the coral, even with my brother Andy running around like an idiot(sorry, bro, I can still see you in my head chasing the stragglers and spooking them more than they already were). Now, I find myself wondering if that damn cow was just trying to kill time until the chickens got there(you'll see).

I don't know. Maybe it's cuz I'm a ladies man.

Sorry, couldn't resist. I know at least one guy has looked at it, but, he called me to tell me about it. And, here I thought verbal communication was no longer nessessary.

Farmer Killed By Falling Cow
Tue Jul 26,10:03 AM ET
ZAGREB (Reuters) - A Croatian farmer was killed when a cow he was about to milk fell and crushed him, local media reported Tuesday.

The unfortunate 61-year-old farmer, from the village of Cadjavacki Lug in central Croatia, went into the stable where his family keeps nine cows, as he had every morning for the past 20 years, the Vecernji List newspaper reported.

"I think he slipped, grabbed the milking machine and knocked it over. That must have frightened the cow, which slipped and fell on top of him," his distraught daughter-in-law, who was in the stable with him, told the daily.

"It took me and the rest of the family almost three minutes to get the cow off him."

She said the cow, named Lara, had been very meek and that even children could milk her without fear. The newspaper did not say what had become of the cow.

I look at it as funny in a sad way. Bad for the farmer, good for the cow. However, I would hate to be the person to have that as my obit.

How do you turn a fox into a cow?

"...marry her." Hahaha. Yes. I shall use that one.

Why do they call it PMS? Because Mad Cow Disease was already taken.

Sorry, I had to post that due to the nature of this topic.

Larry, the song is actually done by a Canadian band called "The Arrogant Worms". You should find more of their stuff - it's hysterical. My favourite is The War of 1812.

Arrogant Worms did "Me Like Hockey!"??? I LOVE that song. Whenever there is a game the radio station I listen to plays it usually the time I'm heading home. I always crank it up and sing along. :D

Yeah, they did the Me Like Hockey song. LOL. Their claim to fame. I'll try to find the lyrics for the War of 1812. The Canadians will find it very funny.
