Never new I joined such an udderly ridic'lous fraternity...you'se guys shure no how to milk such a simpole question. Mooovin' on

So there is this field full of cows and a few bulls. They are all just standing around chewing the grass and looking at all the humans mooing at them. Suddenly, a great wind blows up from the south. The cows are all blown over. Eventually they pick themselves up and dust off. Amazingly, the bulls are ALL still standing. The cows are dumbfounded and they ask the bulls: "What's up with that, bulls? We cows are all blown over and here you are, still standing. How did this happen?"

Smugly, the bulls reply:"Wee-bulls wobble but we dont fall down"

Sorry.

Mooooo!!!!


My most common routes take me through several miles of pasture land, I rarely moo at them, now I usuall give a cheery "Hey, cow-cows"! Now and again I'll stop and give one a rub on the nose if they are close to the road. Sure are cute!

We are talking about Kobe beef, yes?...

Of course I Moo at them. I also used to shout 'Mint sauce' at lambs but the farmer told me off for 'Sheep worrying'.

But what would you say to the concrete cows in Milton Keynes ?https://www.bbc.co.uk/threecounties/c...cows_360.shtml

Hello,

I didn't moo at the cows, but I often waved to them as I rode by during my long tour. I found it amazing that these supposedly dumb animals always took notice of my wave, and sometimes walked up to me.

In VA, when I waved about thirty of them came towards me up to the fence at the edge of their corral. I got off my bike and walked towards them. Suddenly, they walked quickly away and formed a circle with the biggest one (a bull?) in the center. Maybe they felt threatened by me, and herded together for protection.

I started walking away but also waved and called out to them. They came walking back to my direction. They all crowded around the fence staring directly at me. It was pretty cool, actually.

By the way, I have pictures if you don't believe me.

WAWA cows are the best cows in the world. WEll, they give the best milk. Just ask anyone who lives in southeastern PA, NJ, De, or Md

I also oink at pigs, chirp at birds, talk to dogs and cats, and whatever else I come across. Long solitary miles canget to you

One of the funniest images of cows I've seen was on a 600K brevet attempt I made this past June. The day was absolutely HORRIBLE!! 60+ km/h winds, pouring rain, about 10C/50F, the occasional thunder and lightening.

We were crawling along at about 14 km/h into a wind that was sort of head/cross from the right. I looked up at one point to see a field of cows.

All the cows were standing, lined up in a perfectly straight line, side by side, along the fence, with their backs to the wind. Not a single one was anywhere else in the field, they were all in this line. It was like someone had come along and told them, "Up against the wall!!"

Of course, they were all looking at us like we'd gone insane ... which we probably had.

I've been known to talk to the grass sometimes too on long solitary rides!!

Is this a pun? Sorry, I don't get it. Around here we have grill your own steak places, they're called "Prime Quarter". Got any of these in CA?

hummm ... massaged and fed beer daily. I could go for that. I bet there is some kind of a catch to it isn't there?

Who thinks that there is FOOD (meat), and stuff FOOD eats. (Most Other Stuff)

Yes, I Moo at cows while I'm riding past the dairy farms they live at. Sometimes, they Moo back at me.

Not if you can afford it.....maybe at $100/lb for this cut.....


.....and for those who are wondering:
https://www.askthemeatman.com/kobe_beef.htm

would you moo at the Wagyu?

Finding real kobe in America is as elusive as finding real Wasabi. But, if you're butcher's part of the Japanese food yakuza in this country, maybe you've got a chance.

Yup.

. . .AND I talk to ravens, squeak at tits-mice, whistle at My Neighbors Wife [and Covet His Tractor!], warn the d***ed white-tail deer off the road, sing Lili Marlene at high registers, and of course yip back at coyotes!

So you see, mooing at cows is integral to the overall biking experience.

[Other sounds as happenstance dictate. . .most of which gain cows' attention.]

Apparently, beer for cows is common in animal shows. Keeps them relaxed between the touch-up paint and pedicure.

I moo too, and chat with other critters as well. My favorite are crows. They're the only ones who seem to realise I'm trying to talk to them using their language.

I've been known to talk to the toilet back in my drinking days.

Forget the cows.... I want the massages and be fed beer daily.

Man, the cow farms around here smell so bad! I'm too busy focusing on not passing out while I hold my breath. Mooooing takes too much air. Do you have any idea how hard it is to ride a bike and not breathe at the same time? Up a hill?

Thank goodness we don't have chicken farms. I remember when I lived in the Midwest. Three miles away and the stench could knock you over if the wind was just wrong.

I mooo at anything that moves...if it's in the way I moooove it out!!

I thought cows lying down meant it was going to rain/snow soon.

We're all a bunch of crazy bikers. Do you think the guys in the Tour moo as they pass all those cows? Maybe cows make a different noise in France. Sure would sound funny to hear 180+ guys making those sounds as they pass by in the peleton.

Thanks Fixer for the link........ I get it now.

While growing up we butchered our own, so for many years I didn't know we were eating really good cuts of meat. Now that I know what they are & have to pay for them, well I don't eat near as much beef as I used too (doesn't keep me from riding by it on the hoof).

Isn't that called, "Hey Wilbur." Pronounced as only Mr. Ed could.

So, we woke up one morning in Kentucky at dawn and looked out of our sleeping bags and there sat Lenny: cross legged in the field, meditating to the rising sun, covered in dew and surrounded by about ten cows silently looking at him. He was oblivious.
No punchline, just a fun memory. We mood at him.
