Either global warming is responsible for the shrinking of the cattle or they were purposely bred this way to reduce their CO2 output, but no matter the reason rest assured that Al Gore is going to be all over this soon.

It's a midget thing. You wouldn't understand.

At least socialism hasn't yet killed off any American creativity and ingenuity....yet.

'Nice to see some TV work, however, for the short people.

Time was, you could catch a midget wrestling show on TV at least once a month. These days, you could go to any number of faux Irish pubs and never find even a single night of midget-tossing!
Where's the justice for these people, anyway?
Dion's new strategy to reduce GHG's.

Amused?
Hungry?
I don't know how to feel just now.

Small, maybe ... or, on the other hand, nine feet tall?

p.s. I've wondered - was "batb" once a mistyping of "barb" - the "r" and "t" keys sitting next to each other on the keyboard - which you let stand? I like it, it's oddly striking, I'm just curious.

But here is one particularly funny one merely inspired by the 'Oeuvre' of Jack in the Box.

I don't give my age away, but many of my posts probably make it fairly easy to guess in a ballpark sort of way.
I go back a long way, and am a bona fide Boomer!
Posted by: batb at August 17, 2009 4:05 PMThis reminds me of a tongue in cheek article in OMNI magazine back in the early 80's. The writer described a new fad in Japan for miniaturized genetically engineered Kobe beef cattle. The cattle were kept in pastures in the middle of the restaurant where the diners could choose their dinner. Kind of like the lobster tank. The funniest part was some people actually believed it and wrote letters of protest to the editor.
