I am imagining someone trying to pull Rosie O'Donnell out of the water while she's taking a relaxing swim.

Legs furiously pumping their stiff green gallop
Heads bob up
Poise
Delicate
Pause
Consent
In mute nostril agony
Carefully refined and sealed over

FTA - "The mystery moo was spotted early in the morning doggy paddling around Darwin Harbour in Australia exhausted and close to drowning"


Mystery Moo ... Really?!?!

Did my ex-husband write this?
Did I just call myself a cow?
/time to go home.

I'm just trying to figure out how they think that floatation ring designed for an 175 pound man will help with a 1500 pound steer. Kind of like trying to lift a car using a bunch of birthday ballons.

what a moooooo-ving story

/got nothing

It's OK. In a month it will be Mystery Meat.

Finally a catch pulled out of the ocean worth eating...

Sponge Cow Brown Pants

I'm amazed any land creature survived in Australian waters for more than 2 minutes.

Well, it's an Australian cow, so it probably has retractable, venomous barbs and a prehensile tongue capable of bending steel.

I don't know, if you have enough of them . . . Seem to remember somewhere there was a successful recovery of a sunken vessel by filling it with ping-pong balls - get enough in it and it will float.

/Trick is getting the cow to eat the ping-pong balls without chewing them.

That was Mythbusters.

I'll just leave this here

There are going to be some pissed sharks.

/no surf&turf today.

/hot like a steak on a grill

AbbeySomeone: Maybe he was fighting for bovine freedom
He did hold his large head high.

Much cow pun

Australia: As if hell itself was given design rights to it's fauna.

Everything can kill you there, i'm surprised anything survives.

Well, that makes it twice in a row I've seen that pic from you in different threads, Gorgor. I know there are bound to be repeats, but that made me sad. :(

Better not be too deep, else you'll end up with a ship filled with crushed ping-pong balls.

Cows are dumb. We should just kill them and eat them.

Came for the TMBG references. Leaving disappointed.

/If it wasn't for disappointments, I wouldn't have any appointments.

I just went out for a little exercise. A nice swim. A chance to work the muscles and get some cardio. Next thing I know, there's a bunch of people all over me like I'm in trouble or something. I try to swim away but the catch me and drag me back to land.

Tomorrow, I'm going go down to the store and get a treadmill. Put it on the credit card and stick it in front of the TV. I'll walk from Judge Judy to Drew Carey. Next time I see these idiots, one of them better have an air hammer.

Man, english food is really grasping for a new direction.

Could go with balloons.

Darwin harbor? Maybe this is natural selection in action. The cow may, like his whale and dolphin brethren before him, be returning to the sea, to conquer for cows like humanity conquered land.


Or else a shark will have steak tonight and that will be the end of that.

Cows are cool. If they weren't so tasty.....

boobsrgood: Great. Now work is blocking the Sun. That's new.

THIS is a real case of bovine intervention!
Stunned rescuers stumbled upon this half-ton beast after it got itself into very deep water.

The mystery moo was spotted early in the morning doggy paddling around Darwin Harbour in Australia exhausted and close to drowning.

Armed with a life-ring and rope rescuers attempted to snare the farmyard animal - but found it didn't want to cooperate.

But the surly steer eventually saw sense and let the workers fit a ring over its head before they dragged it the 45 minutes back to shore.

Rescuer Ben Wall said: "He was a bit feisty - the first time the boys tried to lasso it, it got away.

"He would've been under a lot of stress with that ordeal ... treading water for a good few hours until we got to it."

I can't lie - I clicked to check.

You're not allowed to fish about that. It's off limits to you. Choose something else.

scandalrag: I'm just trying to figure out how they think that floatation ring designed for an 175 pound man will help with a 1500 pound steer. Kind of like trying to lift a car using a bunch of birthday ballons.

I imagine cows are relatively buoyant, like many land animals. The ring doesn't have to support the entire animal, just the upper neck and head. The ring probably just gave it enough positive buoyancy to help it continue breathing.

At least until they got it home and placed it delicately into the burger machine.

/deelishous burgers

They should have left it alone. Let nature sort it out. That's what Darwin would have wanted.

Simpsons did it...

How did I only now find this?

When you invoke Nazis in a discussion, you Godwin the thread...

When no matter how hard you try to stay away from commenting on the name of the place of the incident and the animal's questionable survival instinct, you can't avoid it, you Darwin the thread.

Psychohazard: How did I only now find this?

Not sure, pretty sure there was a Fark thread about it though.

you see a cow being saved, I see a whole species prevented from developing webbed hooves.
