It's rollin' 'round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine
Since, I don't know when
I'm stuck in Fox Lake Prison
And time keeps draggin' on
But that train keeps a-rollin'
On down to San Antone"

It was a big mistake to play C&W music to the cows at night to calm them down.; 2/13/17, 2:53 PM

Cows gathered around, cause the steaks were so high

She rollin', rollin', rollin'
Though the streams are swollen
Keep them doggies rollin', rawhide

Through rain an' wind an' weather
Hellbent for leather
Wishin' my gal was by my side

All the things I'm missin'
Good vittles, love an' kissin'
Are waitin' at the end of my ride

Move 'em on, head 'em up
Head 'em up, move 'em on
Move 'em on, head 'em up
Rawhide

Cut 'em out, ride 'em in
Ride 'em in, cut 'em out
Cut 'em out, ride 'em in

Michael K said...: Maybe they were all looking for that bull that got the special medicine from the vet.

The farmer was telling the story later to his neighbors who had watched that bull jump all their heifers.

One of them said, "What was that medicine the vet gave your bull?"

The farmer responded, "I don't rightly know. It did taste a bit like butterscotch, though."; 2/13/17, 4:12 PM

PATTY: Well, what else happened in history today, Hugh?

HUGH: In history, Patty, well, today, of course, is the 38th of Cunagonda, and on this day in one nine three eight, BC, that is...

PATTY: Ha ha ha...

HUGH: Mr. George N. Trobus invented the wheel.

PATTY: And just in time!

HUGH: And in 1889, the Peace of Humus broke out, ending the Hundred Years War against the Cows.

PATTY: Yup.

HUGH: And, uh, last year, Patty, you and the viewers will be interested in, uh, noting that the world ended.

PATTY: As we know it, Hugh!

HUGH: Heh. You're darn tooting, Patty.

PATTY: I sure am.

HUGH: Uh, say, who was born today?

PATTY: Ahh, nobody, Hugh.

HUGH: I mean in history, Patty, before they changed the water.; 2/13/17, 5:33 PM

Older than I am said...: Seems to me that if you are running a Prison farm with prisoner labor, and the cows escape from that prison farm, you really aren't running a very secure prison, are you.
Docked Tails? WTF? Don't they know that is no longer socially acceptable? Though I guess if it's only the inmates who have to drink the milk, they don't have much choice.; 2/13/17, 10:24 PM
