“Those nuts boycotting the DuQuoin Fair want me to make one out of grits down there!”

The Governor wants a “Big” cow, not a calf.

Cue the American Heart Association.

Starting an utterly hopeless project, one milks the time needed to let the cream rise to the top. It’s cheesy to hope for a masterpiece. Right now, it curds your tummy, seeing this whipped up, but once done, it’ll make you melt.

I saw the cow in the butter and carved until I set him free.

If it turns out bad, get a cow, cover it with butter and teach it not to move…

So you want me to put the stars and bars right here?

Then we’ll fry it, and put it on a stick

This year we don’t have to worry about this Evelyn person coming in here and slipping and falling on the butter scraps to make some cash so we can breathe a bit easier.

I think of it more as a cow made out of butter than butter that is made into a cow.

The budget for Westworld season 3 appears severely cur(d)tailed.

If I squint, it looks like the levels of fat are now graduated.
