It’s not Carl per se, Skippy just likes sitting on things.

Hi 2OLD. Um, Skippy must be moving somewhat to give Carl that dream. But I could be wrong.

Hmmm…. a big dog…making him think of a cow?

I may have another answer….

Though Bev is probably right about the longhorn hat…I also think Carl had too many of theseat the Friday beer tasting at the Tiki….

I could go for a classic.

Hi X!

Which do you want?I’m not sure we have the Bulldog…. is it still being made? …but I’ll check.I know we have Acme IPA, and the Big Dog one.

This time of night whatever’s handy.

Well, we have some bottles of Big Dog Holy Cow Ale right here in the bar fridge…it was part of the tasting.The tasting panel is helping us by voting on beers for the Christmas season already.

You can help decide!

Cheers, X!

It’s just Rufus, and he needs to go for a walk……very soon.

…insert GIF of dog on trampoline here…

Hope it’s not a bull………………

♪♫ I’m sittin’ on top of the Carl… ♪♫

…and the cow jumped over the moon.

Essex, my friend…. I’m sorry… but I just can’t find that last picture amusing…I guess I just have no talent for “Overlooking the animal cruelty involved.”

I’d gladly buy you a Yak ‘n Dak if you’ll take it down so I don’t have to see it…. and I’ll throw in a whole fresh apple pie from my pie shop next door…

Happyᵌ….insert appreciative comment about the nice dog and trampoline gif you posted.

Ess… OTOH, I love the pic of the interior of x_Tech’s car…. didn’t know you’d seen it.

The only problem is, some cops … er…. officers of the law … just have no sense of humor.

BTW, you probably think I have none either, at this point.

I like to think I do…but everyone has a different threshold in each area of humor.

A lot of people find my jokes silly or corny…. I crack up at some pretty stupid things.Yet some of the things other people find funny, I find sad….

That includes beating up cows and BTW, also those grotesquely fat people, who are so often rather tortured souls.

I’ve wished I could tell you that by e-mail, not in a public forum, but you never accepted the offer of my e-mail address…if you want it, (or anybody else who wants it) go to “Agnes”, for June 6th, 2006.

Please…. I think of you as a friend….if I didn’t, I’d just flag it instead of explaining.

And I’ll delete this later if you like,

Bev!

Never occurred to me you’d want all those beers…cos they’re usually dark, chewy ales.

I don’t think X’s car has Bud Light on tap…unless he keeps a guest tap….. maybe he does.

I hope the guy punching the cow was given a harsh sentence and lost his job. I expect, though, that he was promoted and given a commendation.
