Sacred Cows to avoid?

someone runs around in my fields, I wouldn't mind if my cow (if Ihad one) were to chase her off.
But maybe Boulder is a different world....

Ah hah! Perfect! Guard cow, doubles as a lawnmower AND a fertilizer manufacturer.

Actually, it's pretty gross to think that cows eat grass, [censored] fertilizer, then eat the grass again.

Does the cow has to testify in court? -tom

If she does, who gets to clean up the cow pies?

Hmm, is that the reason for the name of the President (Merkin Muffley) in

Rick's delicacy may have prevented him from explaining things sufficiently. The use of "merkin" to
refer to us 'Mericans is not just an imitation of our rugged accent.

Actually, I had intended it simply as the imitation of our 'rugged' accent. Read on...

Look the word up--I dare say no more.

Drat! Now I remember! I had, in fact, forgotten about that. Something bugged me about it, but I
couldn't remember what; now I
do. I first read of it in a newspaper or magazine article about weird products.

Except that yeah, that's the sort of thing only a bunch of limeys would dream up, much less wear.

I'll put it slightly delicately, for the unknowing: Fake hair down there, for women (they make it
for men too, although I don't recall if it is assigned the same term).

Please don't be delicate, it's that that leads to these prolonged subthreads about which side one
"dresses".

It is; the term originates from an age when a full head of pubic hair was seen as a sign of virility
in men, and then common venereal diseases caused one to lose it.

Dear Peter,

Once again the effete university city of Boulder, Colorado, shows its feeble colors.

All this loose talk in this thread about women suing or eating mere cattle--bah!

Down south in Pueblo, women are made of sterner stuff . . .

Well, rather than boast, here's today's front page story with the link lest anyone accuse me of
making it up:

Accused cannibal could live in Pueblo By PATRICK MALONE, THE PUEBLO CHIEFTAIN

The possibility of accused cannibal Carolyn Blanton's release into the Pueblo community isn't going
unnoticed.

Blanton in 1993 was found not guilty by reason of insanity for the murder, dismemberment and
cannibalizing of Peter Green in a case rooted in Alamosa.

She was committed to the Colorado Mental Health Institute at Pueblo, where doctors now want to
release her to live unsupervised in Pueblo except for periodic checkups at the nearby hospital.

The proposal raises questions about the state's repeated claims that Pueblo, home of prisons and the
state hospital, is not a dumping ground for patients and inmates.

State Sen. Abel Tapia, D-Pueblo, said he expects some community backlash.

"It's a concern in Pueblo with the hospital right in our back yard.

I think it happens more than people want," Tapia said of the release of patients and inmates into
the Pueblo area.

"What makes it scarier is that we have people who are functioning fine when they have medication and
treatment but those resources in the community are being depleted."

Tapia cited cuts to community mental health resources in Pueblo during the last legislative session
as the basis for his concern.

"I had a long conversation with (Superintendent) Steve Schoenmakers of the state hospital regarding
releasing patients into the community," Tapia said.

"It was explained to me that they are a hospital. Their job is to treat people and ultimately
release them as functioning people in society."

Tapia said he was told that state hospital doctors are convinced Blanton has progressed sufficiently
to cope adequately with the responsibility of living on her own.

Her release is also recommended only as part of a larger treatment plan, he noted. She would be
required to go back to the hospital each week for four hours of mental health treatment.

A hearing is scheduled Nov. 4 in Alamosa before District Judge Pattie Swift to determine whether an
independent
psychiatric evaluation is in order before Blanton is released in Pueblo.

The hospital recommended Blanton's release, and also recommended that she live in Pueblo so that
ongoing treatment from the hospital will be readily available.

Prosecutors in Alamosa oppose Blanton's release, just as they did last year when she was granted
off-campus privileges. "We're not talking (about) a typical case," said Mike Gonzales, deputy
district attorney in Alamosa. "We're talking about a cannibal."

Blanton, 50, lives at the hospital now and has supervised off-campus privileges. She is being
treated with counseling and medication for schizophrenia, according to published reports.

Presumably, she will be able to feed and care for herself.

Ah, Monty Python . . .

Dear Sir, I am glad to hear that your studio audience disapproves of the last skit as strongly
as I. As a naval officer I abhor the implication that the Royal Navy is a haven for cannibalism.
It is well known that we now have the problem relatively under control, and that it is the RAF
who now suffer the largest casualties in this area. And what do you think the Argylls ate in
Aden. Arabs? Yours etc. Captain B.J. Smethwick in a white wine sauce with shallots, mushrooms
and garlic.

"There is no cannibalism in the British Navy, absolutely none, and when I say none, I mean there
is a certain amount."
- Sir John Cunningham

Proud Colorado, home of Alferd Packer, Fremont's failed expedition, and now Carolyn Blanton! While
Boulder sues cows, Pueblo finds substitutes!
