Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 24, 2016

And Paris is an anthropomorphized aegagrus hircus.

Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Americans.

And Happy Thursday to my fellow non-Americans.

Goat lost me in the second panel.

It was easier and more colorful to use the labels of 50 years ago to describe people.

Hey, Pig…she’s not brown.

It never occurred to me until this strip that the thing the Dilbert staff is wearing now around the neck resembles a cow bell.

Hummmmmmmmm well that just about does it so HAPPY THANKSGIVING !

A cow is a female bovine too.

Love this strip.Hate this excessive political correctness.

Friends, sodium ungulate allergies are real, and there are people suffering right now from improperly labeled foods. I urge you all to support clear labeling guidelines of sodium ungulate. Let’s stop the accidental allergic reaction of Vegans all around the world. /S

Roy Rogers… The King of the “Domesticated Ungulate” boys

I don’t suppose anyone has noticed that the first three name changes were professions. Names of professions change from time to time, depending on where you live or the situation. When cows change their title, it’s usually due to a change in the cow’s situation, and it’s usually from “cow” to “steak” or “hamburger.” And I’m okay with that.

Just remember people, do not feed the cuisine challenged bridge substructure symbiotes.

Senior citizen? I prefer “Old Fart” .

Has cow been to ox ford?

I’m off to read that other strip, “Two Domesticated Ungulates and a Chicken”.

Happy Thanksgiving to All — whenever it is that you give thanks!

I’ve never seen a purple domesticated ungulate,

I never hope to see one.

But I can tell you anyhungulate,

I’d rather see than be one.

No, doesn’t quite work. I think I’ll stick with cow. Let me ask the garbageman.

We used to call then ‘Binmen’

but that was back in England.

Are you sure that’s not a turkey in disguise?

Could that be the “Lucky Cow” mascot?

Cow – Female bovine which has been pregnant (to give us milk)Heifer – Virgin female bovineSteer – Male bovine which has been castrated (and becomes the Porterhouse on my grill)Bull – Intact male bovine, a real stud

I’m gonna nitpick here – just because. Domesticated cattle, including cows, have always been domesticated ungulates. That’s a technical term rarely used outside the particular scientific community involved in them. Most people will continue calling all cattle cows, because its easy.

A housekeeper is NOT a maid. A housekeeper traditionally has more duties, and is more trusted. Once upon a time a housekeeper was the supervisor of the maid(s). Generally a housekeeper with no maids to order around cleans, cooks, supervises children, runs errands, etc. Nowadays people call maids housekeepers in an attempt to placate them without actually paying them any more. These “housekeepers” rarely are trusted to perform all these tasks.

Thank you for putting up with my pedantry.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.

I never met a cow I didn’t like because they make cheeseburgers possible.

Really, Rat? We never knew that.

Carlin would have had a field day with this strip. PC is even more out of today than when he was ranting about it. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..Happy Thanksgiving to those celebrating today.

Farmer Brown has left the building to visit Elvis permanently.

Well, now I want a Brown Cow.

Pig is neither so hip nor so funny as he thinks he is. (Or should I blame the script writer, Cartoon-Boy?)

I would not want sit at a bar that served cows, even those calling themselves “domesticated ungulates.”

“Just you wait, domesticated ungulate.”

I’d do something with the old phrase “Calling a spade a spade,” but I’m sure it would be followed by a firestorm of flaming comments.

Good g-d, Pastis, stay away from cows!
