Teatsqueezer Cow College under investigation for enrollment irregularities

Our interviewer met with Mr. Teatsqueezer, founder of the Cow College and renown
bovine educator. His work with the Spanish government during the volatile attempt
to establish a Cattle Only nation and also during the tense standoff at city hall in
Tillamook, Oregon when hundreds of dairy cows took over the buildings demanding
better working conditions.

Mr. Teatsqueezer according to records made available by the government the College is
under investigation for possible accepting of bribes to facilitate the enrollment of students
who may not have been accepted otherwise.

Yes, as you know the College has long had a reputation for very high standards and competion
is very brisk. We try to be fair and forthright about the difficulties in gaining admittance.

Well, Mr Teatsqueezer our survey of the student body revealed that there were three pigs and six goats in the student body. How do you explain that irregularity?

As for the pigs we assumed that they were very short, fat, hornless cows with plastic surgery
done to their tails. We of course did not want to embarrass these students and did not mention this.
And besides their parents donated several truckloads of hay and alfalfa and a case of bag balm.
And they Photo-shopped udders in the photos they sent of themselves.

Well how do you explain the six goats?

They are a breed of very large goats with pretty big horns and besides they had a lot of good
references. Some of the goats had won awards for sports. Mountain-climbing being their most
impressive achievement. And their parents donated several hundred sacks of feed.
We did not accept any horses as you failed to point out. They did not pass the SAT test
(stock animal test)
And I would like to add that the interview room is pretty dim since we like to conserve
on energy due to our concern about global warming. We also have several classes on
how to minimize burping and flatulent behavior to lessen methane. We are a green campus.

Thank you for you time Mr. Teatsqueezer

My pleasure

the small statue is about 25,000 years old
ms gregory is probably younger than that

the purpose of this juxtaposition of images is
to emphasize the attraction that the female
anatomy has for male persons

however...
the use of female anatomy has not really
fallen into disuse after all these years and
the current outcry from female persons who
insist that this must stop...
it will not stop and the notion that it can or
should stop only displays the foolishness some
people seek to promote as....CORRECT
Bah!
of course not every female has the same amount
of appeal as every other woman and therefore
the desire to remove desire from the attributes
which can and will further a woman's status in
society is well founded
and...and this is an important thing
extortion is not and never will be acceptable
as a method of pecuniary advancement

"The drop of rain..."

                                           most probably a kit fox

my book said that the kit fox and the swift fox were alike except for size
on the previous post I labeled the fox a kit fox but I think it is a swift fox
and this fox which is mostly white except for the black tipped tail is probably
a kit fox...
the hummingbird which I called an Anna's hummingbird is probably a costas
hummingbird...
last week was spent in the Colorado desert west of Yuma where there were
more hummingbirds and more foxes and lots of lizards...and sand...lots of sand

also I found this in the sand 20 feet from the suite van

                                        probably from the native culture from before the miners

"I want an answer..."

                                           alligator lizard- Gerrhonotus multicarinatus
                                           hummingbird-?
                                           kit fox- Vulpes macrotis

spent my first week in the desert after being in a rented
trailer for a month
almost perished from ice cream overdose in the trailer
had a freezer...why not
got back to normal eating habits now

spotted the alligator lizard in the dry wash
according to the field guide they do not occur here
this one apparently did not read the field guide
I think the hummingbird is an Annas hummingbird
but forgot to look it up in the book
after I put up the feeder there were several of these birds
they probably put on a lot of weight because they were
always at the feeder and when it ran out of necter they came
around and buzzed my head to let me know they needed food
I finally looked up the fox in the book and decided that it is a
Kit fox not the Swift fox which is larger
good neighbors all
unlike some of the neighbors I had in the trailer park

"Impermenant are all compound things..."

                                           shoe from world war two desert training site @
                                                          SIDE-WINDER

been listening to to the radio
heard an interview with the U.S.fellow
who was in charge of Afghanistan military
operations....he said we (meaning the U.S. military)
should remain there to bolster the Afghani resistence
to "the bad guys"...but he didn't say bad guys he mentioned
various and assorted groups who want to run things
I heard someone say recently that the Taliban and the
Ill-cooties or what ever they call themselves are about to
be wiped out....yeah? like the nazis, and the communists,
and the anarchists, and fascists...who are all still around.
I think as long as you have people you will have some who
will try to control the others. Perhaps we as a country (the USA)
will be able to have fewer people from here killed and fewer
people from there killed and more people from there will
attempt to combat those who want to take away their freedom.
Everyone has to speak out against tyranny in their midst at every
opportunity or the tyrants will take over.
that's enough of that 

so i was watching some old western movie yesterday
the story was actually the same as the "Oxbow Incident"
by Walter Van Tilberg Clark . A guy buys some cattle and
he is accused of stealing them.
The movie was pretty good but it kind of left you hanging.

"Impermenant are all compound things,

"Each person sums up..."

                                        my neighbors in the mountains for years

there was not a
thunder of hippos

or a huddle of walruses

or a smack of jelly-fish

or a romp of otters

or a fez of armadillos

but there were jays and chipmunks a plenty

recently I heard some critisism concerning a
music recommendation I made
I think the critisism was due to the subject
of the song in question
I could have recommended a very popular song
from a famous musical
the song is called
"MACK THE KNIFE"
a very catchy tune about a fellow who stabs people to death
but art includes all kinds of subjects 

there is a term I heard which is juvenoia
according to the definition that I was given
this means an unfounded fear of corrupting youth
by exposing them to unrestricted information
we all might be corrupted I suppose if we dont
use our brains and investigate things we hear
not just youth

i will recommend a guitar player who is probably
the best one I have ever heard
his name is
YAMADU COSTA

"No person ever looks at the world..."

                                                                                                                                                                                               

I don't mean to be braggadocios but I have recently moved into a rather elite

neighborhood...

we have, as many fashionable neighborhoods do these days, chickens living free

range...not many eggs yet however.

and a nice lake adjacent to the estate... Narrow Lake, I believe it is called

and I have a rare cactus...in my yard. 

Also (not pictured) I have  a flush toilet,

although it does not flush, but the bottom opens up when you put your foot on a 

lever near the floor. Very modern.

I do miss the wild which I usually inhabit but I am enjoying this temporary luxury.

Not to be braggadocios.
