Now I’m mentally picturing a vulture wearing one of those paper bibs like the lobster places have, only with a little monochrome silhouette of roadkill on it, tire marks and all.

Wasn’t that a Far Side cartoon?

@ElvisL1ves

Wasn’t that a Far Side cartoon?

No, Larson had one where a flock of vultures is gathered around an unidentifiable object, and one of them has, presumably, the dead cowboy’s hat and range jacket on, doing a cowboy impression (“Howdy! Howdy! Howdy!”).

Edit: Actually, I guess it’s possible, because it really does SOUND like a Far Side joke. I don’t remember that it was one Larson ever drew, though.

The fluid in the eye would only stain the hide if the eyeball were punctured; a vulture will often pluck it out intact.

Mmmm… vulture grapes.

I recall it was in a book of his, that had a chapter on cartoons that he drew that were rejected for use in a family paper. Another one had a dog begging for food at the foot of an operating table.

What a sick man. I miss his cartoons.

[outlierrn]

I never saw a Farside that was too sick for me.

I think it’s cute how the SDMB hoi polloi keeps explaining things to **carol **as though it will make a single dent in her arguments/beliefs/rantings-and/or-ravings. You could present video evidence of every cattle who has ever died … ever … being scavanged by coyote and vultures and boll weevils or whatever and the response will merely be, “yeah, but what about the other ones? Huh?”

I know, they’re just so CUTE!

@carol_nistri

I give up,

Oh, good. It’ll free up bandwidth for discussing something more useful.

@carol_nistri

I wonder why I bothered but I thought I could at least plant a seed of doubt,

You definitely planted something, but I doubt it’s what you meant to plant.

I love her quotes.

That’s the kind of insightful response to legitimate points we’ve come to expect from you.

I already told you all that I think crop circles are a black ops.I believe Vallee has hit the nail on its head.

We know. What you didn’t tell us is:

Sigh…

Next time, try planting those seeds of doubt in the other guy’s field.

This kind of thing, for the record, is what you keep ignoring, carol.

[Jack_Batty]

Have we explored the possibility that **carol *is actually a member of the Black Ops who is trying to come in from the cold? And that this is her subtle way of crying out for a handler to bring her in, away from the psychotic Crop Circle Cattle Mutilators?
Just sowing seeds …

• I hereby claim this as a band name, natch.

When I think ‘Black Ops’, I think of a bunch of Spetsnaz or Mossad dude swimming ashore and sneaking around under cover of darkness, then sniping some guy from a kilometer away and then sneaking out again, all with a plausible cover story.

So…I’m visualizing Navy Seals, on a mysterious silent flying machine rappelling down and killing a cow, possibly with a neurotoxin, then dangling above it while they core its butt-hole and pluck out its eyes, possibly using some sort of laser or surgical device, then slithering up the lines and silently flying away.

Is this more or less what we’re talking about? 'Cause I still don’t see why this explains things better than the other explanation.

All to the tune of Lalo Schifrin’s iconic theme from Mission: Impossible.

There’s another thread - Let’s all think of the shittiest sitcom idea we can pitch FOX - over in CS. I just realized that my post could just as easily fit there. In fact, I’m going to go post it, and maybe make a zillion dollars.
