Kate చెప్పారు...: HAHAHAHA!

I purposely showed my husband this picture from the NYPost earlier this morning. We have so many questions.; 31-08-23 10:29 AM
Joe Smith చెప్పారు...: The car suspension is not up to the task.

But, 'Murica!

The British papers print stories about the U.S. like we in the U.S. print stories about Florida : ); 31-08-23 10:30 AM
n.n చెప్పారు...: Ole; 31-08-23 10:37 AM
Rory చెప్పారు...: Seems to be an entry in a parade related to a rodeo. Also seems to be a converted police car:

PM చెప్పారు...: "That's not a knife."; 31-08-23 10:47 AM
Curious George చెప్పారు...: New Headline: The only thing that has ever happened in Nebraska that wasn't reported by David Begley on the Althouse Blog.; 31-08-23 10:50 AM
David53 చెప్పారు...: Boy & Dog license plates. Ha!; 31-08-23 10:51 AM
farmgirl చెప్పారు...: This just made my day!!! See how that car lists w/Watusi weight??
Lololol!!

There may be hope for us, yet!

Be best.
America- the beautiful!; 31-08-23 10:51 AM
phantommut చెప్పారు...: I love this country.; 31-08-23 10:55 AM
Iman చెప్పారు...: The suspension has no panther love for Jumbo!; 31-08-23 11:00 AM
mezzrow చెప్పారు...: Versatility made the Crown Vic the choice for police departments across North America.

And that's no bull...; 31-08-23 11:05 AM
Kevin చెప్పారు...: Why didn't he designate it as an emotional support animal?; 31-08-23 11:11 AM
Left Bank of the Charles చెప్పారు...: Don't take your bull to town, son
Leave your bull at home, Lee
Don't take your bull to town; 31-08-23 11:12 AM
Goetz von Berlichingen చెప్పారు...: That car looks remarkably capable of carrying that load. maybe the driver is himself a Watusi and only was taking the bull with him in case he gets thirsty on the drive. If you know the Watusi you will know what I mean.

I love Nebraska and will be vacationing there in October. Born in Nebraska but haven't been back in many years. Lovely people. Lots to do outdoors. Weather sucks, usually, but I am hoping for a big Nebraska thunderstorm so that my German wife can experience it. She has never seen the Missouri river either. She thinks the Rhein is a big river. It'll blow her mind.

I'd like to say hello to Begley while I am there.

Norfolk in Nebraska is pronounced 'Nor-fork' because it is situated on the north fork of the Platte river.

Looking forward to Runzas, steaks and fresh sweet corn, and long walks along the Missouri where one doesn't need to deal with pesky mountains like here in the Sierra Nevadas. The Henry Doorly Zoo is world class. But I'll be sad to see the spot where Johnny Rosenblatt stadium used to exist. Spent many a day there watching the Omaha Cardinals play. Met Curt Flood and Lou Brock when they played there. I was even introduced to Stan Musial there once.

Might even take in a Huskers game. I have the connections.
Go Big Red!

lonejustice చెప్పారు...: "Nebraska Man" is trying to outdo "Florida Man."; 31-08-23 11:34 AM
Ice Nine చెప్పారు...: One quick glance to the left by Howdy and it's Safelite time.; 31-08-23 11:36 AM
Leland చెప్పారు...: What's wrong with a man taking his bovine for a ride?; 31-08-23 11:39 AM
James K చెప్పారు...: "Was that wrong? Should I not have done that? I tell you, I gotta plead ignorance on this thing..."; 31-08-23 11:45 AM
traditionalguy చెప్పారు...: This may be a sign of a Hindu President coming to pass. Other than that I have no thoughts.; 31-08-23 12:01 PM
Dave Begley చెప్పారు...: Nebraska. It's not for everyone.

Seriously, think of the difficulty and risk to get that bull into a car.

And the bull's name is Howdy Doody.

This is my state. And I do love it so.; 31-08-23 12:16 PM
Dave Begley చెప్పారు...: Goetz:

Happy to meet up.

dbegley@lawyer.com; 31-08-23 12:18 PM
stlcdr చెప్పారు...: What were the 'citable issues'?

My guess is that the 'bull riding' was not actually a problem (as in a law against it), but there were other issues?; 31-08-23 12:28 PM
ga6 చెప్పారు...: Ford should use the photo in their advertising:
"Sturdy, long lasting, holds up to the toughest use"; 31-08-23 12:30 PM
Robert Marshall చెప్పారు...: Reminded me of an old song. The Orlons did it first, and best:

Wah, wah-a Watusi
C'mon and take a chance and get-a with this dance
Wah, wah-a Watusi
Oh, baby, it's the dance made-a for romance
(Shoo-bop, shoo-bop, ahh); 31-08-23 12:38 PM
Wince చెప్పారు...: Where does the bullshit go?; 31-08-23 12:38 PM
Dave Begley చెప్పారు...: The Nebraska volleyball team played before 92,003 fans last night in the football stadium.

It was a world's record for attendance at a women's sporting event.

Now understand that Memorial Stadium last night was the third largest city in the state. People drove from all over to see that event. And it was on TV.

I consider that event another example of the uniqueness of Nebraska. Nebraskans love their college sports, reward excellence and are very proud of female athletes. Nebraska is a volleyball hotbed.

Now the Corn just needs a football team half as good as its volleyball team.; 31-08-23 12:53 PM
Eva Marie చెప్పారు...: “The only thing that has ever happened in Nebraska that wasn't reported by David Begley on the Althouse Blog.“
Because in Nebraska that’s not news.; 31-08-23 12:59 PM
Rusty చెప్పారు...: Blogger Dave Begley said...

"Seriously, think of the difficulty and risk to get that bull into a car."
Maybe he likes riding in the car.; 31-08-23 1:01 PM
Darkisland చెప్పారు...: And the bull's name is Howdy Doody.

I was more of a Rootie Kazootie fan myself.

As a 5 year old my goal in life was to marry Polka Dottie.

John Henry; 31-08-23 1:16 PM
NorthOfTheOneOhOne చెప్పారు...: Dave Begley said...

Obviously named by someone who spent a good deal of time walking behind it.; 31-08-23 1:16 PM
Big Mike చెప్పారు...: “The bull looked me square in the eyes and indicated that it wanted a ride in the car, Officer. Would you tell him ‘no’ to his face?”; 31-08-23 1:25 PM
PB చెప్పారు...: I think the bull likes it.; 31-08-23 1:51 PM
Smilin' Jack చెప్పారు...: Now that’s a carjacking deterrent.; 31-08-23 2:15 PM
Rosalyn C. చెప్పారు...: I really had to laugh when I saw that half of the back window was covered in bullshit. People do love their pets.; 31-08-23 2:19 PM
Temujin చెప్పారు...: Nebraska competing with Florida.; 31-08-23 2:22 PM
BG చెప్పారు...: I just noticed the license plate. “Boy & Dog”
Get along little doggie…yee haw!; 31-08-23 2:34 PM
gspencer చెప్పారు...: Tires are underinflated. And I'd check the shocks and springs.; 31-08-23 2:40 PM
gspencer చెప్పారు...: from the early 1960s,

Wah, wah-a Watusi
C'mon and take a chance and get-a with this dance
Wah, wah-a Watusi
Oh, baby, it's the dance made-a for romance
(Shoo-bop, shoo-bop, ahh)

Virgil Hilts చెప్పారు...: Just realized Ann had a Nebraska tag; amazed that I missed several posts. I miss lots of things about Nebraska (I knew from the age of about 5 that I would leave). When I was about 20 at UNL I woke early one saturday after a heavy snow and ran north on 14th until I was over the hill. I found myself in a prarie where in every direction it was white and the sky was white; there were no buildings, telephone poles, cars, visible wheat or grass. It was not snowing or foggy, but it was pure white in every direction and, of course, not a sound.
One of the coolest moments of my life.; 31-08-23 2:45 PM
gadfly చెప్పారు...: It's "Howdy Doody Time," starring Buffalo Bob from Doodyville, NE; 31-08-23 3:06 PM
madAsHell చెప్పారు...: I'm thinking he should have waited for the new Ford F-150.........powered by gasoline.

I think there is huge wake up call coming for electric vehicles. Any engineer with a pencil, and a scrap of paper could have calculated the fall-out.; 31-08-23 3:06 PM
Michael K చెప్పారు...: I love the horns on the hood of the car. Reminds me a bit of the car in "Death Wish."; 31-08-23 3:10 PM
NotWhoIUsedtoBe చెప్పారు...: I thought this was bullshit, ahem, but found the local tv coverage with video.; 31-08-23 3:10 PM
Leland చెప్పారు...: If the bull's name is Howdy Doody, does that mean the man's arm is... [shutter]; 31-08-23 3:23 PM
walter చెప్పారు...: The motorcycle is in the shop.; 31-08-23 3:47 PM
Oligonicella చెప్పారు...: We have bison and cross-breed ranches here. You'll sometimes see trailers with them in them. Usually with roofs though.; 31-08-23 3:48 PM
FullMoon చెప్పారు...: Lowriders could add hydraulics to solve the suspension situation.; 31-08-23 4:16 PM
FullMoon చెప్పారు...: ఈ కామెంట్‌ను రచయిత తీసివేశారు.; 31-08-23 4:21 PM
papper చెప్పారు...: picture looks like a fake/blow up bull.; 31-08-23 4:21 PM
Dave Begley చెప్పారు...: More from the AP.

"Rhonda Meyer told US92 that “Lee thinks he's a movie star” after the video of his traffic stop went viral, but that he's also a little shy.

Meyer said Howdy Doody is like a member of the family now, but she wasn't always wild about how much her husband spent on the bull over the years.

“The amount of money that he’s spent on this whole darn project between the car and the bull I could’ve had a brand new kitchen,” Rhonda Meyer said."; 31-08-23 4:28 PM
Ann Althouse చెప్పారు...: “ Virgil Hilts said...
Just realized Ann had a Nebraska tag…l

I’m pretty sure there’s a tag for each of the United States states. If one is missing, I can’t imagine which one it would be.; 31-08-23 4:40 PM
FullMoon చెప్పారు...: "Rhonda Meyer told US92 that “Lee thinks he's a movie star” after the video of his traffic stop went viral, but that he's also a little shy.

Likes to be noticed anonymously. Minor problem is stop signs and parking lots 'cause people always want to talk and ask questions and tell you about the watusi bull they, or their father, used to have.; 31-08-23 4:41 PM
Leora చెప్పారు...: Where was he taking the bull and for what purpose?; 31-08-23 5:10 PM
Wince చెప్పారు...: I guess this makes us the Peanut Gallery?; 31-08-23 5:41 PM
Goetz von Berlichingen చెప్పారు...: Full Moon

Or the old one they have at home in the garage that they're gonna fix up when they retire.; 31-08-23 5:59 PM
Oso Negro చెప్పారు...: That’s right! Don’t fuck with white people in flyover country. We do shit like this; 31-08-23 6:07 PM
Mikey NTH చెప్పారు...: Wooly Bully?; 31-08-23 6:10 PM
Tomcc చెప్పారు...: "Now, how do I get him out?"; 31-08-23 6:57 PM
Mad Anthony Wayne చెప్పారు...: Can’t take an African immigrant to go get a Runza without getting hassled by the cops…; 31-08-23 7:42 PM
Left Bank of the Charles చెప్పారు...: “I’m pretty sure there’s a tag for each of the United States states. If one is missing, I can’t imagine which one it would be.”

North Dakota?; 31-08-23 8:38 PM
tommyesq చెప్పారు...: What did the bull do while the cop was talking to the driver?; 31-08-23 9:48 PM
tommyesq చెప్పారు...: Also, check the license plate!; 31-08-23 9:50 PM
Kirk Parker చెప్పారు...: "Hey, Tampopo, top this!!!"; 31-08-23 11:51 PM
Rusty చెప్పారు...: Leora said...
"Where was he taking the bull and for what purpose?"
What if they're roaming the countryside picking out heifers.
"Ya like that one?"
"moo".
"How about that one?"
"MOO!"
"OK. We'll ask the rancher."; 01-09-23 7:17 AM
Rusty చెప్పారు...: The drive through at MickyDs would be funny as hell.
"Ill have a double cheeseburger and a chocolate shake."
"MOO?!"; 01-09-23 7:18 AM
Laughing Fox చెప్పారు...: That's someone who can manage both cattle and cars!; 01-09-23 10:58 AM
mikee చెప్పారు...: Sensibly, "warnings" were issued by the officers who conducted the traffic stop.
And, I suspect, selfies were taken.; 01-09-23 11:04 AM
