lookout123 • Feb 25, 2008 3:20 pm
don't worry, we have lots of illegals to clean up the poo now, bullitt.
Bullitt • Feb 25, 2008 3:36 pm
There you go lookout. Clean up our horse doo illegals, then get back to picking lettuce. Mmmm.
smoothmoniker • Feb 25, 2008 3:42 pm
... and in exchange, we'll give your kids a free education, all the way through a PhD if they can hang with it, and all the free medical care you can eat at the downtown ER.

Sounds like a good deal to me.
lookout123 • Feb 25, 2008 3:43 pm
see? it's a win/win. everyone is happy.
Flint • Feb 25, 2008 4:14 pm
Instead of having the illegals pick up horse poo, why don't we just go to rickshaws?
lookout123 • Feb 25, 2008 4:39 pm
oooh, but can i buy and sell them if i want a faster model? wait, that sounds like it might have been tried. I think I'll pass on that.

Horseback riding is dangerous. My daughter was flung by a horse irritated by something, (we suspect a big biting insect thingy) for no reason. Attach them horses to a trap and take your chances. At least you can't be thrown. And as regards horses poo it's natural and good. If you can put it in an hemp sack it facilitates roses and celery growth. The former is beautiful and the latter is heaven in summer salads. (involves putting horses poop in hemp sacks and soaking in a covered trough free of insects) - but hey, who said life was easy? Lovely celery though.
Aliantha • Feb 25, 2008 6:30 pm
riding in cars is dangerous. People can be killed! They get killed off horses too. Like my cousin who was thrown and the horse rolled on her head which caused a massive stroke somehow and she never regained consiousness. She was 21. Very sad day.

Horse poo is good. Cow poo is better. Chook poo is ultimate.

I thought that read "Gook poo" at first.
DanaC • Feb 26, 2008 3:18 am
Wtf is a chook?
Trilby • Feb 26, 2008 9:13 am
look: I'm not sayin' anything about 'safety' or 'poo'----I'm saying wouldn't it be COOL!

I do the Big Picture stuff.
TheMercenary • Feb 26, 2008 10:02 am
The only good thing about going to all horses and ditching cars is we would have less interference from outsiders. Well that is until the Chinese showed up with tanks, then we would be hosed.
Aliantha • Feb 26, 2008 5:09 pm
Chook = Chicken in all it's forms.

Feed the chooks.
Roast a chook.
Pluck a chook.

A rooster is still a rooster though.
DanaC • Feb 26, 2008 5:28 pm
ahhhhh we say the same thing but it's spelled chuck :) as in hallo chuck!
Timo • Feb 26, 2008 5:28 pm
hmmm, maybe bicycles are slightly more practical,
they're a lot cheaper i'll tell you that
DanaC • Feb 26, 2008 5:29 pm
Ullo there Timo:) welcome to the cellar!

huh. when we mean chicken, we say chicken. Pronounced just like it sounds.
lumberjim • Feb 26, 2008 6:47 pm
except sometimes, when we say chicken we mean marijuana. ond other times we mean fraidie cat.
Aliantha • Feb 26, 2008 7:03 pm
When we say chook we mean chook and nothing else. Pronounced just like it sounds.

What's your point lookout?
lumberjim • Feb 26, 2008 7:26 pm
man...you are salty today. maybe you should sit a few plays out?
DanaC • Feb 26, 2008 7:27 pm
Chuck isn't used to describe chickens (it's never used as in feed the chucks) but it is used as a term of endearment and means chicken.
Aliantha • Feb 26, 2008 7:28 pm
I'm ok. Aren't I allowed to respond to someone implying there's a problem with the way we speak in Australia?

You all can talk. I thought the gobberment took that away when they made you turn in yer guns? :blush:
Aliantha • Feb 26, 2008 7:45 pm
The government hasn't taken away guns Merc. It's just your perception of the situation.

Anyone can have a gun if they want it. They just have to register it and keep them locked up etc so kids can get them etc. There are restrictions on some types of guns and there are no machine guns etc allowed 'for personal use'.
Trilby • Feb 27, 2008 8:17 am
If I didn't have my 'personal use' machine gun, I don't know what I'd do!

Getting back to horses, can you say HORSE FLY? Imagine all your neighbors with a 2 or 3 horse garage. Can't kill the flies, though, might upset the environment.

What would be cool, is if I had magic roller skates that could propel me along.
So when I am trying to do too much in my lunch hour I can switch them on and get where I'm going much faster.

I don't need them all the time - I am happy with the effort involved in normal walking. Just not when I have 10 mins of my lunchbreak left and am still in the centre of Greenwich because I spent too long window-drooling over impractical shoes I can't afford.

THAT would be freakin' COOL.



Would people be tipping their hats in greetings? Would road rage be diminished? On the freeways how many horses would make a pile up? ( just teasing ) :)

I love horses.

At my last job I thought this very same thing. I said as much to a coworker. There are times when rollerskates ARE needed. * nod*
