I am compelled to ask what might have motivated your father to put himself in such a position.
Well, he is a cow herdsman. And where you milk the cows, its a good 3 or 4 foot below the cow's bottom and its just one of the many risks of the job.
And mum definitely liked to pull jokes on her brother.

Yeah seen that. Wasn't nice. Then dad told be to stick a bit of straw up its nose to make sure it was breathing properly.
He doesn't milk them by hand. Its all done by pumps and witchcraft now. Basically: This is the parlour. 20 cows all around you and you are on the bottom. The stairs to said bottom.
I think, I've bored everyone enough now. So, I've seen a fox eat some curry.
Well that just strikes me as a piss poor bit of industrial design. Surely someone can come up with something better than that.
A few years ago during my senior year I was taking a photography class and was roaming around my grandmother's yard looking for interesting things to shoot and this cow had just given birth at a shed just over the electric fence. The calf - still all wet and slimy and nasty but otherwise kind of cute - had gotten to its feet and was apparently very curious about the dude with the camera but he didn't see the hotshot. Got buzzed right on his nose. I lost my mind. Welcome to the world, it only gets worse from here!
Last year my dad brought home a bag of habaneros, formerly the hottest of peppers until the Dorset Naga and Naga Jolokia. I'd been eating peppers since middle school and thought of it as nothing. I'd been using hot sauce made from scotch bonnet regularly, which, in retrospect, I'm pretty sure did some kind of permanent damage since it was only after then that I began feeling it the next morning. Anyway, I finished half of one and decided that was enough because my abdomen was already feeling turbulent. Immediately after the meal, about 30 minutes after ingesting the pepper, I hastily excreted a mixture of mostly transparent goop and some more familiar brown goop in which could clearly be seen the undigested seeds and poisonous plant matter, bleached to different degrees, and the chemical irritation that had finally left my mouth was now burning the opening of my rectum. I haven't eaten dried peppers since.
Yeah, they do. I remember there was a Japanese saying that paralleled goldfish poop with annoying people who keep following you wherever you go, which probably means goldfish poop is particularly sticky.
Yup, fish turds sometimes get stuck and dangle there for hours. Other fish apparently mistake the turds for food and charge at them as they would a TetraFin flake, then spit them out when they realize their error.

Once I worked a late shift at a supermarket. The lone supervisor on staff, who's kind of a tough guy, got bored and someone from produce dared him to chonch down one of those things. Half an hour later, a customer needed something out of my control overridden. I asked where he had gone off to, my bagger informs me that he was in the men's room doing a mixture of vomiting and crying. He still had tears in his eyes by the time he got to my register. At least, I hope they were tears.

I've never had anything as mighty as a habanero fresh, but in my experience any raw pepper is, like, candy. Mine was dried, fried, and lightly salted. Brings out the pepper's heat considerably.
That is what I call batshit insane. This discussion reminds me of my freshman year in high school. There was a hot sauce buzz going around in my class. It was odd seeing my classmates putting the stuff on all of their food.
I downloaded it. There's five different garden settings to choose from, four very traditional and one that's all postmodern. There's only a few different plants and items you can use at first, but I keep unlocking new ones by doing something that I don't know. You can make time speed up or reverse by pressing the X and circle buttons - it's pretty cool watching the plants grow and ungrow like a time lapse film.
By default there's a little chipmunk that scutters around doing its chipmunky business and supposedly there's 20 or so different animals that can appear when you meet certain criteria. I've seen pictures of ducks for sure. I just got a koi that appeared in my pond!
It's way beautiful and the music's all chill. You can make a custom soundtrack from MP3's on your hard drive, but that's impure.
You can take pictures and save them to the hard drive or upload them... I uploaded a really shitty one by mistake, I hope they don't attach my name to it!
I'm kinda really looking forward to Harvest Moon Wii. You can raise tons of different animals, even crap like Pandas. I just wish they would make one in the series where you could finally be a fucking gay guy.
Yes, they've had a lesbian version of Harvest Moon. Lesbians get everything cool.
I would sooner perform my own heart surgery than modify one of my consoles in any way, shape, or manner. I don't even change the default theme settings!
