Slude-dude found a website with them . . . cute!

It would be hard to imagine that I could draw something so perfect. :roll:

Apparently not . . . he thinks that gas mask is a birth defect.

That's my grandson, Adam. The mask was part of his fireman's outfit. He's at least a couple years older now than when the picture was taken.

I'm not sure how sweet he is. He's sweet on the ladies though.

As Denny has pointed out before

, here I go, stating the obvious ....

..... I'm just glad he was merely jumping OVER the sheep.

FWIW, the image manip's pretty good.

BTW, my farm was a sheep operation before I bought it. From the multitude of bones scattered around the pasture, I'd say the local coyotes weren't doing anything nearly so lighthearted and frolicsome, alas.

OK, back to the funny people now ....

Best ignore them, Cynth . . . perhaps they will desist before I have to open my flute case . . .
All right, all right, it was lame, I'm sorry.

Da bomb.

Well, I confess, I have played . . . similar games . . . in my time and it was . . . err . . . fun.

Yes, it was. <Ahem.>

I've only just found this thread and it's on page 4 already. I must say I thought it was hilarious. What's Cornwall got to do with it?

I'm going back to sleep now.

What I never understand with sheep, when I see a field of them, there's always at least a couple limping.

You don't see cows limping nearly as often. It's odd.

I can just imagine them complaining to each other "Gone and tripped on a sharp rock again. Third time this week. Someone really should do something about it. Bah."

So everyone fails to see what's going on here?

I think Tyler knows. The sheer absurdity of the wolf leap-sheeping!

It's a metaphore people!!!!

Lambchops knows it and has gone out of the way to distract our attention from the fact that the sheep are not the victims!!!!!

Oh yes, I'm telling all, flute case or no.

Eons ago sheep and wolves lived in symbiotic harmony. A treaty that existed from the elders of old. Then one day the sheep became greedy. They wanted no part of a healthy relationship. They insisted the wolves bow to their demands. The wolves, knowing it meant starvation, refused but wanted nothing more then to leave and join with the goats. Again the sheep scoffed and devised a diaboloic conspiracy. Their leaders, glutted with power lust, organized the slaughter of their own innocent sheep to make the wolves look guilty. Naturally the human slaves of the sheep villified the peaceful wolves and began a centuries long slaughter of wolves that continues to this day.

Now I must leave. I fear for my safety. I hear a faint "baaa". They're coming!!!

It's a consequence of gamboling and frolicking. If you're going to engage in risky sports . . . you have to expect to pay the price sooner or later.

<reads on, expecting to see delightfully Chiffy prose>

Hmmm, I see Fly has written something . . . uh oh . . . oh no! why, Fly seems to be a . . . I shudder to say it . . . a . . . conspiracy theorist!

Oh dear! Oh dear! Where are the deprogrammers? Daaaale! Oh, Daaaale!

Oooh! What a terrifying picture! Such horrible teeth! What people won't draw to get their way with others!

Next thing you know, there will be woolens burning on my lawn! Aaack! Daaaaale!

Well .... according to neighbors, my farm's former owners would keep lambs in the kitchen when the weather got bad during spring lambing (imagine the intense scrubbings that floor has gotten since my taking over!). So there's a precedent -- and, as you seem quite civilized, I guess you can stay in the house.
