    It’s pre-dyed yarn :)

    There’s some kind of “blue balls” joke to be made here, but I’m too tired to think of it.

  3. Patrickon 24 Sep 2008 at 9:33 pm

    That’s how you got the blue dye on your back?

    For similar purposes at Aullwood Farm, they put colored chalk in a leather harness – makes the rams look like escapees from a leather daddy bar. And when they fight for dominance, well, let’s just say it doesn’t help things.

    Please don’t ever write a book that goes with that image.

    Oh, John. You need to track down this farmer and make sure he gets a complimentary copy the book.

  6. Woolciferon 24 Sep 2008 at 10:22 pm

    I’d sue him. He’s obviously already read the book.

  7. Willywoolloveon 24 Sep 2008 at 10:24 pm

    Sue is too extreme. He obviously has read the book and liked it so much he thought to give some free advertising.

    At least he died the sheep himself and didn’t wake up to blue sheep ” baaing” at him.

    If you dream of this tonight – you’re a Cylon.

    Frakkin’ toasters.

    O-H-I-O. Where the sheep are scared and the men have watched “Blue Velvet” one too many times.

    Oh the humanity!!!

    And that is why I like jelly wrestling.

    Lol, I love it. The Android’s Dream. I hope the next article you link to has someone using WallBall sneakers. I will say no more in hopes that people will pursue a novel written by a certain someone pertaining to blue sheep.

    […] and the embarrassed farmer, who asked not to be named, got one good look before he went somewhere warm, wet, and suffocating.

    It’s Cal Worthington and his dog Spot sheep [spoiler deleted]!

     

    If you’re hoping to appease Narf win-Getag
        with the last remaining ovine of the flock,
    Which he’s hoping you can’t do
        choose another sort of ewe —
    Go see Cal, go see Cal, go see Cal …

    Hmmm…that’s not quite the color I had envisioned. The farmer does, indeed, deserve a copy of the book.

  17. Ostronon 25 Sep 2008 at 8:56 am

    Yeah, suing would be a bad idea; he might countersue for advertising reimbursement.

    Nicole @2: Probably something along the lines of this being one time when blue balls are a good thing (for the sheep, anyway).

  18. Steve Hon 25 Sep 2008 at 10:06 am

    One sheep, Two sheep, White sheep, Blue sheep

  19. Rob Bon 25 Sep 2008 at 10:37 am

    It could be worse, you could have linked to this doctor mishap linked on the bottom of the sheep story. I don’t think you want that relevant to your interests.

  20. htomon 25 Sep 2008 at 11:41 am

    :) I don’t know what to say. Use the photo for the paperback reissue?

  21. Sunidesuson 25 Sep 2008 at 6:51 pm

    So are you getting a kick out of the replies?

  22. Bozo the Cloneon 26 Sep 2008 at 12:36 am

    Blue dye and sheep sex…Does your branch of the SCA engage in reenactments of Pictish religious rites?

    Or as Elmer Fudd used to say: “Why don’t we do it in the woad?”

  23. Ozymanduson 29 Sep 2008 at 4:21 am

    Awesome!

    Just finished android’s dream, so this amuses me even more.
