great. can you explain to my brother why there’s milk all over his new flat screen monitor ? :dubious:
This thread gives a whole new meaning to the phrase, “Hello, Dolly!”
Possibly. Is it sheep milk?
Notice it was submitted by “thousands of Dopers.” Hal’s sheep-orker…er, cow-orker should be proud. I think this is the first non-Doper started thread to make Threadspotting.
What did one shepard say to the other shepard?
Let’s get the flock out of here.

I finally stuck my head into this thread to see what was going on.
…HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
shakes head
Man.
Naw, it cost almost double if you wanna take pictures also.

I think Hal’s only recourse now is to get his co-worker victimised like some of these people.
For curiosity, I put “sexy sheep” into Google images.
This, unsurprisingly, was number one.
Number three (?).
Number four (???).
How did you know ?! :eek:
What’s really, really odd is your second-to-last link. While I can see that it should lead to:
http://www.freewebs.com/sheepeggs/untitled.jpg
It kept leading me to another post in this thread. Finally, I manually typed the address in, saw the page, clicked the link again, and it works fine.
Did this happen for anyone else?
Yes, me too.
Most likely explanation: many web site operators don’t like it when other sites link to their images without permission, so they program their server to detect such ‘abuse’ by looking at the “referer” header sent by your browser, which tells where the link is coming from. If the referer is not their own site, they do not display the image, but instead send back something else – usually, either an image containing a text like “don’t steal bandwidth please” or, in the case of a slightly less professional webmaster, some really ugly pornography.
In this case, they apparently decided to do something a little more original, and simply send back a redirect to the referer address – which, in this case, is of course the very thread you are posting from.
When you manually type (or copy-and-paste) the URL into your browser, there is no ‘referer’ header, so the web server can’t tell if you are following a link from another site, so they just give you the picture.
That joke makes you an official copycat.
Much like Dolly’s own duplicates, then?
Heh, heh, heh…
so, would Hal’s favorite John Denver song be “Ewe fill up my senses” ?
This had both me and my husband reading over my shoulder laughing out loud.
And “Ewe fill up my senses” ain’t bad, either.
Sheepishly Devoted To You
apologies to fans of Grease and Olivia Newton-John
Guess mine is not the fur-st heart broken,
my mouth is not the fur-st to bleat
I’m not the fur-st to know,
there’s just no gettin’ you off-a me
Hal, oh – I’m just a wool who’s willing to laze around
and wait for you
But human can’t you see, there’s nothin’ else
for sheep to do
I’m sheepishly devoted to you!
But now there’s no field to hide,
since you rammed my fleece aside I’m not in my head,
sheepishly devoted to you
sheepishly devoted to you,
sheepishly devoted to you!
My horns are saying “Wool, forget him”,
My chops are saying, “Don’t let go”
Hal on my end, that’s what I intend to do
I’m sheepishly devoted to you
But now there’s no field to hide,
since you rammed my fleece aside I’m not in my head,
sheepishly devoted to you
sheepishly devoted to you,
sheepishly devoted to you!
