March 27, 2009: Cows in Boats
Undertoad Thursday Mar 26 08:52 PM (sandy, separately, images don't show up in iotd blog view if they are attachments. Until a moderator notices and puts them into the cellar image hosting.) monster Thursday Mar 26 09:48 PM cool, sandy, thanks. I suspect they coat the boat with superglue immediately prior to loading the cows. xoxoxoBruce Friday Mar 27 12:07 AM Good one sandy, thanks. Shawnee123 Friday Mar 27 12:09 AM I want a boatful of cows! ZenGum Friday Mar 27 12:10 AM That reminds me of the Isle of Mann Ferry. monster Friday Mar 27 12:13 AM They are a little reminiscent of sushi, but i'm too tired to photoshop the chopsticks..... xoxoxoBruce Friday Mar 27 12:15 AM Chopsticks disguised as oars? monster Friday Mar 27 12:26 AM could be... spudcon Friday Mar 27 04:02 AM Do they have a poop deck? SPUCK Friday Mar 27 05:36 AM They are being taken to feed the alien overlords. Rossini Friday Mar 27 06:15 AM One of the weirdest things I ever saw was a boat full of sheep. No idea where they were taking them, but most of them jumped out and swam after it! I didn't know sheep could swim... where do they learn Sheldonrs Friday Mar 27 07:34 AM When those cows come home, Mom is gonna tan their hides for taking the boat. DanaC Friday Mar 27 07:51 AM I misread this thread as Cows in Boots. Scriveyn Friday Mar 27 08:02 AM the milk float is coming TheMercenary Friday Mar 27 09:40 AM It looks like they tied all their tails to their back legs. Can't have cows tipping the boats. Even though many of them may have been tipped themselves. monster Friday Mar 27 10:03 AM We could milk this 'til the cows come home. dar512 Friday Mar 27 10:18 AM ![]() xoxoxoBruce Friday Mar 27 11:49 AM Quote:

They should replace all those light bulbs, along each shore, with LEDs to save juice. TheMercenary Friday Mar 27 12:57 PM Ever see a cow that did not have it's tail out? They move non-stop. Maybe the docked their tails before leaving shore. Shawnee123 Friday Mar 27 02:08 PM Next thing you know there'll be Pigs in Space. TheMercenary Friday Mar 27 02:15 PM Or monkeys. Wait, we already did that. dar512 Friday Mar 27 04:08 PM Pigs in space was already done too. Shawnee123 Friday Mar 27 04:11 PM ORLY? Gravdigr Friday Mar 27 04:18 PM Quote:
glatt Friday Mar 27 04:27 PM I checked it out on Google Earth, and it really is served mostly only by canals. There are roads that will take you to large parking lots within walking distance of the village, but the canals attached to a nearby lake are what go right up to each property. Pretty cool. hipshot Friday Mar 27 08:27 PM Could they be marines? This could be the start of an invasion... sandypossum Friday Mar 27 08:48 PM Quote:
The Dutch are obsessive about cycling, so the village has cycle paths nowadays, but no cars. Makes for a pleasant and serene day out. sandypossum Friday Mar 27 09:16 PM Incidentally, there is a similar roadless region in Germany, the Spreewald, about 100km east of Berlin. It's in the ex GDR, and was popular as a tourist spot for East Germans. I lived in Berlin for 5 years, and this is now a popular day or weekend trip from there. It is a much bigger area than Giethoorn, and has a canal network of hundreds of km. The Spreewald is the home to the only officially recognised ethnic minority in Germany (the Sorbs/Wends - a Slavish people) with their own language (the second official language of Germany, Sorbish). xoxoxoBruce Saturday Mar 28 01:19 AM That 6 pm deadline sounds like a pain in the butt in the summer when it doesn't get dark until late. maybe it was to shoo the tourists out so the locals could enjoy their summer evenings. Crimson Ghost Saturday Mar 28 02:16 AMYou ain't the only one.... Gravdigr Saturday Mar 28 04:48 PM @ Sandypossum: I'm a stoopid Merkin...What is 'hooning', and what are 'wheelie bins'? Elspode Saturday Mar 28 08:30 PM Quote:
Elspode Saturday Mar 28 08:33 PMVoila! Cows in boots! sandypossum Saturday Mar 28 08:47 PM @ Gravdigr: xoxoxoBruce Saturday Mar 28 09:49 PM I'd never heard the term hooning. Wikipedia says Hoon is an Australian/New Zealand term for what you described, and Hoon in the Urban Dictionary is the same but sounds like it was written by foreigners, using kilometers and car models not sold here. monster Saturday Mar 28 11:21 PM Crimson Ghost Saturday Mar 28 11:56 PMWell. Would you look at that. But, it's not like it's a cow on a roof of a cotton-house.... xoxoxoBruce Sunday Mar 29 01:17 AM hipshot linked "Cows with Guns" in post #28. sandypossum Sunday Mar 29 07:17 AM So out of interest, what are the Merkin terms for wheelie bin and for hoon? I'm assuming you have both of them there. wolf Sunday Mar 29 11:10 AM Quote:
sullage Sunday Mar 29 04:35 PM the cows with guns video reminded me of an old flash video from five years ago: "I'm a cow" sandypossum Sunday Mar 29 06:44 PM @ wolf xoxoxoBruce Sunday Mar 29 07:19 PM Quote:
![]() Gravdigr Sunday Mar 29 07:27 PM Hooning...Guilty. Wheelie bins...Makes sense -- now. Queen of the Ryche Monday Mar 30 05:20 PM So now who has the photoshop skills for cows hooning in wheelie bins? ZenGum Monday Mar 30 07:13 PM Well, here are some New Zealanders hooning in a wheelie bin. (Sad story, they sledded down the steepest street in the world, and one of them died). monster Monday Mar 30 10:24 PMSo ban me ![]() I'm not clicking on links posted by newbs/posters I don't know when my kids around. If you use the youtube tags, you can see what you're getting. Go pick on someone else. xoxoxoBruce Monday Mar 30 11:56 PM OK, roll-on or stick? :p glatt Tuesday Mar 31 09:24 AM Quote:
