Breaking North Dakota News: Wind Blows Cows Away

Believe it or not those of you who aren’t North Dakota readers, this isn’t actually a normal occurrence in my home state.

Comments

Too funny.  When my wife moved here from the Philly area, the first headline in the newspaper was about a run away bull.  For a week, the news was about a bull. 

Life’s lessons.

See what cow tipping leads to?

Cow tipping???

I thought it was the result of all that vile hot air that blew through here this afternoon!

See guys, Al Gore was right.  This is clear proof that global warming is true!!!  The debate is over. /sarcasm



A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency, or simply to swell its numbers.

Breaking...Wind Blows Cows Away

See what a good editor can do for you?



Trolls. It’s what’s for breakfast!
And then I eat their lunch.

may have sent some cows flying into the air.

What do they mean may have?
Either, it did or it didn’t… right? Or, maybe they should wait for confirmation before reporting such bull

Proof,

I have no beef with your revised headline.  But I notice you let the whole ting stew for a while first.  A competent editor would make hamburger out of most news stories in any case.  And local news reports seem to butcher even the most basic details.

Still, I really veal like you have yet to live up to your full editorial potential on this.  I’d steak my reputation on it!

B1: Now I’m on the horns of a dilemma! Do I hide my talents so as not to cow you into submission? Do I milk the story for laughs? Should I round up whatever figures I have? Would I be branded a cow ard if I don’t accept the challenge? I’d hate to steer you wrong, but I’d hate to see what the cat’ll drag in!
If you want your reputation to fit you to a “T", bone up on your puns if you want people to worship the ground a round you!
(I’m a liver, not a fighter!)

But, then, you realize that an editor chops up a headline, don’t you? Heh.

This story is udderly ridiculous.

Gilby Guy,

Don’t be so cowardly about this!  How about you meat your obligations and flesh out your accusation more fully.  Either that, or just hoof it on outta here.

Proof,

Surely there is some way we can make some money doing this!?  Something to chew on!

Bag ged another one, I see! Grazed another one? (Else he missed one!) I sure don’t want to provide any more fodder for B1! (Especially before Fodder’s Day!) Face it, B1: You’re pasture prime! Heh.

What this story needs is...more cowbell!

She was only the cattle baron’s daughter, but all of the horse men knew her!

I go on the lamb for thirty minutes and some turkey wants to chicken out of this pawltry discussion on victuals! Why? Someone hogging all the good puns? I cry fowl! Quail before the Master of Puns! Do not duck your responsibilities nor goose the one who reminds you of them!

B1 may be able to pullet off, but could end up with egg on his face for not getting the yoke! He may still have to eat crow! (He’s such a ham! But it does help him with the chicks! )

What a fowl thing to say, you turkey!  Testosterone levels are hardly the issue.  In that department, I measure up quite handily, thank you!  I took soe pretty fair shots yesterday, and he never even grazed me.

Still, after this remark of yours,

B1: It should have been: Surely there is some way we cud make some money doing this!?  Tsk. Tsk.

I must once again bow to the master!

Yes..Yes of course.

Old Macdonald had a ranch, E-I-E-I-O
And on his ranch he had a cow, E-I-E-I-O
With a “moo-moo” here and a “moo-moo” there
Here a “moo” there a “moo”
Everywhere a “moo-moo”
Old Macdonald had a ranch, E-I-E-I-O

I’ll try to remember the ranch part for now on

Cud we do it again sometime?

may have sent some cows flying into the air.

Anna, cows were seen flying, that is undisputed.  It was likely wind however other causes such as flatulence can’t be ruled out.
