Catwoman Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 I suppose I could have asked if I had been "scre--d." On further thought I suppose the correct term would have been "taken" Who cares?

BlsdMama Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 I have no answer for you. I just wanted to participate in a thread about half a cow. I learn so much stuff on this forum. I can honestly tell you that I have never known anyone who bought a dead cow. Or half of one, either, for that matter. Do you get to pick your own cow, or is it more of an honor system thing? Please don't think I'm criticizing this -- I actually think it's interesting! I'm just one of those people who goes to the store and the meat is just... well... there. If I bought half a cow, I would have no clue as to what to do with most of it. I guess I would just hope that they would label the packages for me so I could look up recipes online. I would also hope there was no package marked, "Eyes." :ack2: Also, you must have a huge freezer! How many bodies can you fit in that thing? (Sorry, but where I come from, if you're buying a new car and look in the trunk, someone always comments that, "It's about a 5-body trunk; that's plenty of room, even if one of them was a fat guy." I would assume the conversation is similar in the world of big freezers...) ;) Cat LOL, this whole post had me giggling. I ALMOST woke up the two kids sleeping in my room! Shame on you! (I can fit almost a whole body in my freezer FWIW.) You say you need 1/2 a cow, they take in the whole cow, sell to two buyers or keep 1/2 for themselves. Generally you can order a whole, a half, or a quarter. You'll get less after hanging weight on a grass fed cow generally than one that's been finished with grain or on a feedlot. They have, usually a slower growth pattern and a higher bone density is my understanding. 'Course, my dad was a pig farmer, so take my .02 for exactly what it's worth. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just heard it growing up in the Catholic religion... But never knew it was a BAD thing... Um just the symbol of a happy marriage. ;) I think it was originally a derogatory term that poked fun of Irish immigrants for having so many kids, so close together, but as I understand it, now it's just a term that means having 2 kids from separate pregnancies in the same calendar year. I have never heard it used in a mean-spirited way. No big deal, as far as I'm concerned. And the "paddy wagon" thing isn't either, at least not to the Irish part of my family. Maybe others feel differently, but I look at a person's intent before I decide whether or not to get offended.

Truscifi Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I always thought paddy wagon was a Yankee term for a police car because there were a lot of Irish police officers. Did I just totally make that up? And have I now offended someone by using the term Yankee? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted December 23, 2010 Author Share Posted December 23, 2010 Actually it is called the Paddy wagon because of all the drunk Irish Patrick "Paddy" O'LastNames that the wagon was used to haul to the station. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deece in MN Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 So does that reduce the storage life from 12 months to 4 months?
