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.

My brother and I actually caught some kids tippin' our cattle last night on our ranch. You weren't by any chance one of the kids we caught were you?

I actually have an uncle who lives up there! I always pictured with a name like yours that you lived in the Ukraine.

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.

The Might · 02-17-2008, 05:44 AM

Could be...
But why on the streets?

Nerwen · 02-17-2008, 06:22 AM

Where else would you have seen him, Might?

–I am from Victoria, Australia.

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!

Gwathagor is from Newberg, Oregon. He frequently revels in the fact that his state is better than all others and laughs at people who disagree because they are invariably the people who have never been to Oregon for any serious length of time.

Woah...dude...you're really, super claiming a lot. I personally vouch that my own state is the best. And if I didn't live here, I'd live in Kentucky. Why on earth do you claim that Oregon is the best state?

I've been to Oregon, and it is a beautiful state, but... NY is the only state that counts.

I thought you made computer software in trees while wearing flannel, actually. And went shopping on Wednesdays, and had buttered scones for tea...
