Comments on: Save the cows!!!!! http://melantrys.net/2007/11/14/save-the-cows/ politically minded tree-hugging hippie posting about politics, religion, work, music, random events and whatnot Thu, 08 Jan 2009 21:15:01 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.1.1 By: David http://melantrys.net/2007/11/14/save-the-cows/#comment-3527 David Wed, 14 Nov 2007 04:31:53 +0000 http://melantrys.net/2007/11/14/save-the-cows/#comment-3527 So a native German speaker asked for cow mulch when they actually meant bark mulch? Were they from Bavaria? Over here in the U.S. cow mulch is called hamburger. I used to love to eat grilled cow mulch! Haven't eaten it for years though. Some idiot from Texas (there are a lot of idiots from there!) came up with the bright idea of feeding cow mulch to cows. The Texans then outsourced the idea to England where multiply recycled cow mulch was fed in mass quantities to English school children. Well anyway, your German cows in the picture look like happy cows. At least they get to live outside and eat grass. :) So a native German speaker asked for cow mulch when they actually meant bark mulch? Were they from Bavaria?

It shows cows holding up "Save the Cows, Eat More Chicken" signs. :) Over here there is a TV commercial for a chicken restaurant. It shows cows holding up “Save the Cows, Eat More Chicken” signs. :)

Great! @David: Without having seen or heard those customers I can say: No, they weren't from Bavaria, they were from the region where we live. People around here can't speak. Sad, but true... Mwahaahaaa! Great!

They have their own dialect which is a mixture of hillbilly and redneck. They make really good cornbread though, and they like their okra crispy fried not slimy! :) Mafdet, I was just making a little joke about Bavarians, as I know how much Mel hates them. ;)

I'd have phrased things differently then. But I <b>was</b> talking about native German speakers, yes. Foreigners learning the language would have had an excuse. Native speakers just don't. :annoyed: No, no, the Brits are more "famous" for feeding Scrapie sheep mulch to cows.... :-| I think the cows were more bewildered than happy that afternoon and definitely wondering about the weird noise. (We were playing metal and punk tapes on D.'s infernal car battery powered stereo.) I think they came to spy on us. :shifty: No comment on the chickens... @ Frenzie: Indeed. @ Mafdet: Well, I just had to let it out. They make that mistake <b>so</b> often.... @ David: It's no quaint rural dialect. They just don't know how to speak German. Hell, I love my okras crispy <b>or</b> slimey! Want fresh okras nowwwwwwwwwwwwww! :dream: (for those members of the Arab (or Turkish) league that aren't too much into learning the fancier vegetable names: we're talking about bamya) @ Lynnette: No, the people around here are very challenged too....

If Bavarians are Germans, why don't they speak German? Are they like French speaking Canadians who live in Quebec? Quebec nearly seceded from Canada over their language and cultural differences. Do Bavarians want to be independent also? What?!! You love crispy okra?!! You never admitted that before. ;) I thought Bavaria was in Germany. If Bavarians are Germans, why don’t they speak German?

Happy Thanksgiving then! I don't have stuffed okra cos there are no fresh okras for sale here. I'll try in the greenhouse next year... :sick: soy meat. Wheat meat is the thing to eat. Damn, I started on Damascus pt2 yesterday (slow start, no reason to form queues yet), and thought I'd have ample time to continue today, but I think I am sickening for something and feel feverish, so no work. Brain is derailed. :-| Is it Thanksgiving over there?
