Counting Sheep

[Bugbear]

Now that I have read this thread, I no longer believe in sheep.

I do believe that is the best "Cross section view" I have ever seen. Either that or one of those "Punk Sheep" that you always used to see at a Sex Pistols concert.

Actually, that is a punk sheep. It really has a Mohawk, and the other side is equally bare, except for the head. Anyway you look at it, it's better than a mullet.

The same scientists who cloned Dolly have now developed the worlds first tartan sheep.

Why didn't I think of that?!?!

Those would be the rare muti-tonal highland tartan Romneys, Merino's have a more weathered look.

Just a point of clarification: The correct spelling is nauga, not nogga. The wild nauga is native to Central and Southern Wisconsin. The mating cry is most distinctive, and is heard (near to College Campi) some time near Spring Break.

They have, as I understand, been hunted nearly to extinction, but by some deft retro-breeding of the domestic nauga, it is hoped that soon there will be some able to be released into the wild.

There is also that strange breed of sheep, developed in Japan called the acrylic and widely exported to the West. They are especially useful in cleaning up the infestations of plastic foliage in the pastures of both the UK and USA and Canada, thus saving prime grazing land from destruction.

Oohhh... I thought he was referring to the snake spirits of India.

I stand corrected, sir. What does the mating call sound like? So being that the distinctive mating call is near colleges around spring break, does sound anything like a young coed saying "I'm so wasted..."

Wow! I accidentally highjacked this thread...

This question is really intriguing. I want to know definitively!

Well, my 16 oz. MacCreary kilt weighs 3.2 pounds. I could round that to three if I account for the straps, buckles, stabilizer, and lining. So if I were to unravel that and try to put all the wool back on the sheep, it doesn't sound like it would cover it much (but it would be one mighty colorful sheep). I'm still trying to get my head around all the variability in what sounds like considerable waste and by-product in the process.

Rex.
