I intially hesitated, because I felt sheepish.

Ewe understand.

Or maybe I’m not playing this game very wool. If we’re keeping score, someone will surely bleat me.  
Edit: I wish Kate was here. I’m feeling horny.

After rereading my last post I’m kind of hamming and hawing. The thread was a little boar-ing until you larded it with some alternative livestock humor. That took chicharones and if anyone wants to get into a scrapple with you over it, that’s their problem. Sow don’t worry about it.

And if Linctus gets his way and they un-ban Kate you’ll have plenty of time to b-oink.

OK, I’ll go away now

Condiments, now?

I don’t relish the future of this thread. Mayonnaise a lotta directions this could go now.

Butter just leave it alone, rather than try and pull off this caper.

That about takes the cake. I’m not sherbet I don’t think this thread can take any more sticky puns.

I guess that’s just the way the cookie crumbles.

They’ll take a gander at it, but then duck the issue.

I shop from an authorized distributor now, but I also bought their products on-line for years. Surely there are better/more expensive ones, but I LOVE their beef.

[**Omaha Steaks**](http://www.omahasteaks.com/servlet/redirect?fromUri=/home)

For all-natural, I had some friends swear by this place:

[**Slanker’s Grass-Fed Meats**](http://www.texasgrassfedbeef.com/index.htm)

No personal experience w/them though.
