Which will melt faster: this butter cow placed in the sun, or Jay Doherty in front of the grand jury?

That sculptor didn’t get paid, either

=== geesh…..give it a break===

Am I spreading it on?

Should I melt to your plea?

Maybe stick to something else?

Should i stop churning them out?

Are they curdling your stomach?

I’m milking these ideas for all their worth.

You have none. Huh. You should at least try to come up with one and criticize… like half and half…

Comment by Oswego Willy Monday, Jul 20, 20 @ 3:17 pm
Times are tough. I still remember Minnesota state fair. The beauty queen of the fair would have her head replicated in butter. It was very well done.

Butter not mess around with 2020.

It’s a Jersey, you just can’t tell… because it’s blocks and not at all shaped like anything like a cow.
