Notice that the sheep do not so much fly as plummet.

Waitasec.... when did life suddenly become a Monty Python sketch?!?

Yeah yeah -- but was Teddy at the bottom or the top of the pile?

The moral of the story might be that blindly following the leader might get you killed if you're in the first 27% of the herd, but if you're behind that bunch, you'll get a wild ride and an amazing story to tell your offspring.

Yes. It pays to be a slow sheep. Fortunately, I qualify.

I made a lame attempt at linking this sheep story to the Democratic Underground sheeple last week. For some reason when I read the story that was the first thought that came to mind.

Sorry that this is OT. I don't know how many Don and Mike fans there are out there, but Don's wife Freda was in a car accident yesterday coming back from the Eastern Shore of Maryland, and she died last night at the hospital. Prayers are in order.

Yeah, I'd like to think that I'm immune to that kind of blindness, but who knows? I've been wrong before, and will be again and again. Hopefully I'll remember to consult the topographical map of my ideological landscape before that last step.

BULLETIN: Distracted Drivers More Likely to crash.

State Legislators around the nation consider bans on yelling at your kids, picking your nose, and farting while behind the wheel.

uh, that was me.

Teddy K survived the fall by bouncing back to the top.

'It's raining sheep, hallelujah it's raining sheep...'

Instead of 'The Sh@t hitting the fan', it's now 'The Sheep hitting the land'.

This reminds me of Weird Al Yankovich's classic movie, UHF, when Raul is in high-rise apartment building filming his TV Show... 'Raul's Animal Kingdom', and he says "For those of you just joining us, today we're teaching poodles how to fly." He then proceeds to throw poodles out the window one at a time. The camera pans out and you see a pile of poodles at the bottom of the building. Priceless....

His next episode followed with, "Not many people know this, but the turtle is nature's suction cup. [licks the bottom of a turtle, throws it towards the ceiling]

People used to "hunt" animals by deliberately driving herds over cliffs. There's the famous Head Smashed In cliff in Alberta, Canada ( http://www.mysteriesofcanada.com/Alberta/buffalo_jump.htm ). Just as with the sheep, after a while, buffalo would start to survive the fall. Young men would be assigned to wait at the bottom of the cliff and finish off the wounded animals. Once in a while, a buffalo would land on one of the young men, hence the name "Head Smashed In."

But c'mon, this is 2005. Shouldn't the sheep be throwing themselves on hunting rifles, and pulling the trigger with their hooves?

Bob Hawkins' post reminds me of old Indian joke:

Young brave goes to old Chief and asks Chief how he nema 'em babies. Old Chief say: when I see rain at night and baby is born I name 'um Rain at Night. When I see an eagle flying overhead and baby is born I name 'um eagle Flies Overhead. But tell me Two Dogs Fucking, why do you ask?

Freeper had it Monday. Loose shit ACE.

My Grandfather raised a few head of sheep... I suspect a dumber creature does not exist upon this earth. At least they have purpose in life (lambchops, wool, mutton curry, et cetera).

I suspect the first sheep sobbed to itself, "Oh goody, we're finally at the cliff,I just can't take another rape from one of these Turks." and the rest followed suit.

If your granfather raised chickens you'd feel differently.

Hundreds of Liberal Journalists followed their leader off a cliff and plummetted to their deaths.

Well, I can dream can't I?

Yer not dreamin' 72, it's happening every day. Every faked memo, every falsified story attributed to an anonymous source, every anti-American rant is another sheep taking a plunge. That's the beautiful thing about the First Amendment, it makes a beautiful rope with which idiots can hang themselves.

Improbulous Maximus

I know, if only they weren't pushing us over with them that would be fine with me. Hopefully, they'll continue to show us who they really are and people will turn against them in an even bigger way and to the New Media.

Rocketeer:

Well, perhaps that should be that sheep are perhaps the dumbest mammels on this earth. Sheep, if they tangle themselves in a fence will simply lay down and wait to die. Not to mention their propensity to follow-the-leader off a sheer cliff.

I think that in the avian world, domestic turkeys would be found at the low end of the IQ bell curve.

Andy, I swear, as God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.

A few little liberal MSM pansies? That doesn't even qualify as a dream. Now if it were All Liberal Journalists, the Liberal Entertainment Industry, the Homo Industry, all jumped off a cliff high enough to hasta la vista baby, you're beginning to have a worthwhile dream...
