I’m a bit lait to this thread - dealing with my friend Angus, who is on the lam in Paris. “Un vachement probleme” he says.
It’s women of course. “No worries I tell him. Remember what that other horny stud replied when some bullcrap came his way:”
‘Honi soit qui malley pense’.
Bye Firestarter.
[nitpick]It was Mrs O’Leary’s cow that started the fire.
If I were O’Malley --I’d be over the moon–I’ve never rated a 7 page thread!
OK, I’m done now. 
I really like this. I could easily see this as a great sig line.
oops-make that a 4 page thread. Dreams of grandeur, apparently…
Anyone else have the urge to go reread James Herriot books now?
Nope. But Steak au Poivre sounds good for dinner.
How ever did we miss this?
Except I thought it was O’Leary’s cow that didn’t start the fire, in cahoots with O’Malley’s cow and Billy Joel.
Well I’m not sticking my arm up her ass.
We didn’t, we did this on the first page.
"Attention! This is the Straight Dope Humour Police. You are surrounded!! Put down your puns and come out with your hands up!!!
Knock, knock.
Who’s there?
The Interrupting Cow.
The Interrupting …
moooo!
Bwah!
and Death ray --It took me a minute. Guess that fire’s been burning since the world’s been turning…cows or no cows.
Some disgruntled newbie opens a Pit thread to beef about us, then ride off into the sunset, and in return we hurl manure at her?
I’m just disappointed. These pathetic “I’m taking my toys and going home” whines usually at least have an entertaining flameout. I mean, if you’re going to give up your dignity anyway, you might as well go all the way and at least give the rest of us someone to laugh at.
Well come on, if you come in lait and only skim the thread, you’ve got to expect that some things will go pasteurize…
Personally, I think the OP’s problem is that he isn’t (O’)malleable enough to cope with different points of moo…
(Yuk, i feel dirty…)
Anyway, leading the herd so far:
Bravo Sir/Ma’am!
Thank you RayH.
I didn’t expect this thread to go this far, or I would have quoted the posts instead of just linking them. It seems like we’re just milking this thread at this point.
I think it is time to take the bull by the horns and let **Mrs O’Malley’s Cow ** know that she can’t leave after this. She is now grazing up toward the famous Sheep thread.

Why in the world would we want her back?
I guess there is no rumen this message board for her.
Vaya cow-n Dios, Mrs.O’Malley’s Cow. May you find better pastures with less bull elsewhere.
Regards,
Shodan
If nothing else she might now be a new SDMB in joke. I mean “Don’t have a Cow” will have a new layer of meaning for now on.
Several posters think she is either thin skin or ignorant. So fighting ignorance would work better is she was here. As far a growing a thicker Hide, if she came back after this thread, I think she would have succeeded in growing the thicker hide.
After all despite this Op that was guaranteed to end in disaster, the thread that kicked it off, she was just asking some questions. If the responses were less condescending maybe she would have engaged in a back and forth discussion and learned something by it.

Right. Because it’s vitally important that every one of these pun threads be preserved for all time. Plus, if there’s anything funnier than an in-joke that gets repeated until it makes anyone sane want to claw their ears out with rusty scissors, it’s a forced in-joke resulting from someone’s desperate attempt to preserve one mildly funny moment for all time.
She can if she wants. She paid her nickel, so she’s got the right to come back for the next eleven months. But it’s up to her - it’s not necessary to go chasing after her. It’s her own decision.
I always wonder when I see threads like that. Do people like Mrs. O’Malley’s Cow actually interact with anyone in the real world? Because my friends and acquaintances give me shit sometimes. I’ve always thought that was sort of, you know, normal. I expect to be insulted worse than that if I ask people stupid questions. I don’t buy that it’s necessary to cowtow (and yes, I’m sure someone came up with that one before me :)) to the most delicate people around. Turning this place into nothing but rainbows and huggles to make it more comfortable for the 0.1% of the board’s population that - like Mrs. O’Malley’s Cow here - has some pathological inability to deal with normal human interaction would make the place worse, not better. You apparently think the rest of us ought to act like kindergarten teachers in order to prevent one or two people a year from getting in a huff when others disagree with them. I think that making it so we’re not allowed to disagree would destroy the entire point of the boards.
