I have question E for you. It stands as: what in the name of Odin is cowtipping?

I'm not making fun of you, honest, so pardon my ignorance if it's something very obvious

I believe it involves overturning somnolent cattle for amusement.

That would require a lot of physical force I imagine, and would strain one's back for sure too. I guess I'd settle for some quiter hobbitish type of sports (throwing things, like) if ever in the country

Cowtipping is awesome!

.... Well, I've never really done it, as it sounds stupid, and I don't think my neighbors would like it, and I don't have any cows at present, so.... no cowtipping for me! It also is probably rather dangerous...

But yes, we have had people ask us if we've been cowtipping.

And I live precisely where my location says I live, so I see no reason to further explain.

Muskego, Wisconsin.

Plenty of cows around here, but it's been ages since anyone tried cowtipping in this area. That's more of a "rural college town with bored fraternity members" kind of thing.

Well, that's not terribly far off. My family is largely of Polish/Russian/Ukrainian heritage. My screen name here looks a lot like some of my relatives' surnames. When people ask things like, "what's your mother's maiden name?" you say it and start spelling before they even ask. And they still look at you like you just sprouted mushrooms in your nostrils.

You actually caught someone cowtipping? It wasn't me, I would be more secretive and carefull.

Michty, er, The Might. You've been to Aberdeen? And Glenfiddich? My mother worked there when she was a teenager! You probably walked past me in the street once, not noticing me because you were too busy staring in awe at the majestic city.

Yep, two nights ago on our ranch. We saw some of the neighbors kids were doing it while my brother and I were making the night rounds.

-I'm from Boerne Texas, and proud of it!

Prexactly. And I'm sure if you tried it, you would probably understand how bored (or drunk, as Ibrin suggested hehe) you would have to be to gain amusement from that.

I'm actually from a small college town with bored fraternity boys. Fortunately, they don't go to my even smaller hometown to amuse themselves. That could be quite interesting.


Sidenote. Phantom, I didn't know you were from Omaha? Fascinating. I went up to Papillion a few months ago for a concert, and my step-brother goes to college up there, but that's not worth more than a mention. Are you too cursing the weather, or are you far enough from the Lincon/Crete area that you've escaped the nastiness?
