Thank you. That post and pic were exactly what I needed. Any word on what tomorrow holds?

@ 1: You will find out tomorrow...

What a coincidence! I was planning on pickling my liver tonight after work...

Poor Barnaby Jones.

What man doesn't appreciate that kind of navigational assist?

From a lady Jon, from a lady. And no rubber boots, please. Not even if she is hot.

This should be on dirty jobs. Steer Cock Navigator? Breeding Assister?

I think he's probably collecting. Bull jizz is too valuable to let go to waste directly in the cow; the stuff is collected (usually with the aid of a dummy cow and/or an electrical anal probe), and the cows are artificially inseminated.

Well I'll be damned -- Fnarf's right. Poor bull. Thinks he's gettin' some fine cow ass, when all he's really getting is a handjob from some dude with a rubber sock.

Steer Condom Harvester?

Posted by w7ngman on December 23, 2008 at 2:18 PM

@11: Listen up, city slicker - steer don't give much in the way o' seed. They've already been 'harvested,' if you take my meaning.

Well isn't that peculiar? It just so happens that I made a bunch of sauerkraut today, and it was fucking delicious. Nevertheless, I think I'm going to hold off on giving some randy bull an HJ until next year. You know, it's sort of a "too much of a good thing" kind of situation. Thanks Farmer's Almanac!

I don't think "slaughter" means what you think it means.

Are you reading the Almanac for our part of the country or for another part. The ground is too hard for planting potatoes and onions. I know I can't get a hard on in this weather (my penis shrinks into itself like a hedgehog) so I doubt even a bull could get it up in this weather.
