I WILL EXHAUST YOU TO THE POINT THAT YOU WILL BE RELIEVED WHEN I'M FINISHED WITH YOU. AND YOU WILL BE WEAK FOR DAYS. ALL MY LOVE. THE FLU Now get your mind out of the gutter.... And get your flu shot!!!!!! =================================== Actually, the original caption for this picture read: A sheep which evaded humans for six years in New Zealand's Central Otago Mountains has been shorn in front of a live television audience. Shrek's fleece weighed in at 27.5kg and was removed by former world champion sheep shearer Peter Casserley. Mr. Casserley used an old-fashioned pair of cutting blades to remove the fleece, described as "rock hard" in places. Shrek looked a little disorientated when the shearing was over, but seemed to adjust to her new shape quickly. =============================== Just thought you'd wanna know. Is There Gas In The Car?

Sven Golly Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 I'm not sure what to ask first... 1) Is sheep shearing that exciting to the general populace of New Zealand that it qualifies for a live television event? Granted, some (most?) of the tripe that's on N.American TV deserves to be tossed into the nearest active volcano... but sheep shearing?

JeffLearman Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 1) Is sheep shearing that exciting to the general populace of New Zealand that it qualifies for a live television event? Granted, some (most?) of the tripe that's on N.American TV deserves to be tossed into the nearest active volcano... but sheep shearing? Well, Kiwis are really into sheep (figuratively speaking, I hope). It's a country with 60 million sheep and only 2 million people. No doubt there are plenty of folks who are SICK of sheep, though. Funny thing though: you can hardly get a lamb chop. They export it all, so it's hardly available other than in fancy restaurants and tourist haunts. 2) There is a world championship for shearing sheep? Yes, usually won by a Kiwi or Aussie. And another funny thing I noticed while trekking and hitchhiking in New Zealand years ago: as you go by, the sheep all turn their bodies away from you, and crane their necks to look back at you. They synchronize and do this as a whole flock. But perhaps Tom had just been there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that you (Jeff) know SO MUCH about sheep is most impressive. In fact, I believe that such knowledge can only be obtained from first-hand (or something) observation. Your involvement with the sheep community seems to be thorough... and deep. When I can make it out to the next blues jam, I hope we can discuss this further. I look forward to procurring a better understanding of this subject through our conversations in the near future. Sven, I will take good notes and relay my findings to you for your ongoing social advancement with the species.

eric Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 I have a confession to make and maybe someone can help me out, much like we help out the newbies on this forum every day. I have noticed references and pictures of sheep on this forum for some time and assumed there was some inside joke between a couple of people. It now seems prevalent enough that I'm now thinking I missed out on some kind of pop culture phenomenon related to sheep. Either that or it is some kind of twisted innuendo that I need not learn about, even if some of you guys are like long lost brothers. The bottom line: I'm clueless on the sheep jokes! What did I miss? Anyone care to enlighten me on the sheep thing? I considered searching the archives, but it is a prevalent keyword and shrouded in a lot of mystery, so I'm not sure that I would learn much unless I make a public appeal for information.

ITGITC Posted December 10, 2005 Author Share Posted December 10, 2005 Eric, It's ok. It's not a private joke that we wouldn't be honored to include you in. The fact is that, for some guys... lonely guys I guess, sheep replace women when they're 'in the mood'. Although I actually have no personal experience, I have heard that the sheep vagina is very similar to the human vagina. As I said, I really don't know if it's true. However, it makes for an intriguing vision. And therein lies the humor. Unfortunately, I've never seen Woody Allen's movie "All You Ever Wanted to Know About Sex, but were afraid to ask". But since Dr. Dreamer mentioned it, I must put it on my list of 'must watch' movies. Thanks for asking. Is There Gas In The Car?

Sven Golly Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Gas, you're absolutely evil, and twisted. No wonder we get along so well. Eric, the truth of the matter is, this dates back to the last NAMM show (or was it the last Winter NAMM? I forget...). Anyway, a couple of people posted some speculation, and suddenly there was an incredible rush of posts from a bunch of forum folk... mostly newbies at the time, but a couple of people with some miles under their belts... all claiming that, if the speculation were true, they would be the first person to buy "product X" (whatever that product might have been). I made a sarcastic reference in one thread to the 'bleating of many sheep' (paraphrasing, I don't recall the exact wording), criticizing what was a rather repulsive (in my opinion) "me too" attitude, over completely unfounded rumours. People were vowing to dump product they had JUST purchased, if only to get one more bit of sample resolution, or some other fairly meaningless bit of technology. It saddened me then, because it was similar to what I had experienced while I worked in retail a decade ago... people buying gear just to buy gear and never getting anywhere near a return on their investment. Sad, really... like someone buying a Lamborghini to drive to the mall at 35mph to pick up milk. I know, I know... the thought of me expressing disdain, or even posting a sarcastic thought must shock you... completely out of character for me. I trust you'll be able to deal with the paradigm shift this must cause in your world. At the time, Gas was kind enough to consider me the shepherd, whose duty it was to apparently keep the sheep together and bring'em all in for shearing. From there, it was pretty much entirely his twisted psyche that warped the theme to what it is today. I couldn't be happier. ;-) And now you know... the rest of the story.
