It's now our turn: First U.S. mad cow case confirmed

[DanS]

My filet mignon tasted extra good tonight.

Went to 212 Market Street in Chattanooga. DanS recommended.

The United States of North America. Yep. Has a nice ring to it. So does Amexica, the proposed name of a union between the United States and Mexico.

How about if you just remove the live animal ban which is still in place.

Oh dear.

Krazy, the ban was put in place to stop this sort of thing. Now, even if we don't put a total ban on beef/feed/cows from Canada, I doubt any rancher would take the chance of buying any.

But everyone loses with Mad Cows.

Vegetarians win.


Die, meat eaters!

[Verto]

Better watch out; some people might start eyeing vegans.

[Whoha]

Vegetarians lose because there have been cases of this disease in them.

heres one theory about it, this one thinks it is a bacteria:

heres another one, from a farmer there, this one talks about the evils of systemic organophosphates:

It was a special, stealth sleeper cow. You should have listened to Ralph when he asked nicely for you to reopen the border to our cattle.

We have other cows in place, and also have stealth sleeper versions of many other animals in strategic locations spread around the United States.

You will receive our demands shortly.

PS. Since none of you could find Canada on a Map of Canada which includes the Northern States, we're those islands just to the right of Iceland. Come and get us.

So, all our base are belong to you?

[notyoueither]

You could say that.

Thousands of cattle go/went both ways across the border. It's natural to try to find the outsiders who are the cause of the problem though. The closest we got to the origin of the mad cow up here was a shipment of 25,000 breeders that came up here from the States.

Also, it is noteworthy that Canadian records about the cow which was shipped south do not match the records of the farmer who owned your animal. Are we in fact speaking of the same animal, or were tags switched?

You were in Chattanooga?? Was there a thread??? I would've driven down to meet you...

[Imran Siddiqui]

Maybe that was the reason there was no thread .

Yeh, for about 3 hours. Me and a couple of college friends drove in from Atlanta, saw Ruby Falls and ate some really mad cow at 212 Market Street.

My R&R was too regimented this time around.
