When the weather begins to turn warmer,
sheep enjoy being sheared, relieving
them
of all that suffocating winter wool, but
sometimes there is an unpredicted cold
snap. This leaves the poor sheep in a
most
uncomfortable condition, their almost
bare skin exposed to the freezing
elements,
making them very unhappy.
Sheep in Sheep's Clothing are knitted
woollen outfits for the sheep to don if
the
weather unexpectedly turns cold. To add
to the fun, they come in a range of
bright,
hooped colours, Benetton style. As an
alternative they can put on fake Friesian
cow patch outfits, so that they look like a
field of stubby legged bovines.

MB, interesting link. Great potential advertising space. |

xenzag, how about camo design so sheep are safer? Or for the sheep rancher with a sense of humour: other animal skin patterns (zebra, tiger, leopard, etc.). |
|
| |
Other animal patterns good, hence cow
patches... unformity is best - i.e. all
Benettons or all friesians (with perhaps
one solitary tiger) |
|
| |
Sheep in leopard's clothing? That has a nice ring to it. |
|
| |
//camo design so sheep are safer//... now you've got me wondering how a kevlar sheep-scabbard might work at fending off predators. |
|
| |
I think the coats should each have a single
letter or digit on them. Skilled
sheepherds, with skilled shepdogs, could
then be challenged to create the longest
possible word, or the first 23 digits of pi. |
|
| |
[UnaBubba] Don't feel too bad. She told
me she's managed to come to terms with
the regrets. |
|
| |
I understood that the sheep covers were originally meant for bad weather and post-shearing, but many farmers now use them year-round. |
|
| |
Please, make them sheep-colored. I woke up one cold morning, staggered blearily to the window, and saw a purple horse across the road. Before I realized he was wearing a blanket, I'd smashed two bottles. |
|
| |
MB, I had thought of adding the letters idea, but I have found when dealing with this lot it's best to not supply them with new ways to tell the neighbours where to go. |
|
| |
Can't the sheep huddle together to stay warm? Maybe a big rabbit and raccoon fur blanket could be tossed over the whole group of sheep so as to increase the group warming effort. |
|
| |
Sheep's tolerance to cold is rivalled only by the majestic emperor penguin. Maybe. |
|
| |
//Sheep's tolerance to cold is rivalled only
by the majestic emperor penguin.// I
don't really see how that's meant to be
impressive. Sheep are bound to be
tolerant of penguins, as the two species
don't compete for food or anything else. |
|
| |
When i was in NZ, i saw quite a lot of sheep. I was rather surprised at the amount of crap that was mashed into their backsides. It seemed to me they were more poo than animal. |
|
| |
Thusly, I recommend the sheep outfits take a wide detour around the backside, for sake of cleanliness. |
|
| |
I think the waistcoat style would be
best, leaving a clear passage around the
toilet area of the sheep. |
|
| |
//Sheep are bound to be tolerant of
penguins// I don't know about
that....according to Harding and
Percival's "The Unlikely Carnivores"
sheep will readily devour penguins
when marooned on an iceflow with no
other source of food. |
|
| |
Can't they just glissade down the iceflow to the valley, and maybe get some edelweiss? |
|
| |
//Sheep are cannibals. That's how they
got
"scrapie", the sheep version of mad cow
disease.// |
|
| |
Possible but unlikely. Not only does
scrapie tend to arise spontaneously in
flocks from time to time, but it is also
transmissible in circumstances where
cannibalism can't or doesn't happen. |
|
| |
To be honest, nobody knows much
about the mechanism of transmission.
Nobody knows much about any of the
prion diseases, because 50 years of
research by idiots has resulted in about
5 years worth of progress. Prion
research as a whole is an absolute joke. |
|
| |
Scrapie "symptoms include excessive lip-smacking, strange gaits, and convulsive collapse." |
|
| |
I'd say they get it down at the pub. |
|
| |
What defines _excessive_ lip smacking? I've never known a sheep to smack its lips, so I'm guessing not a great deal. |
