Don't shoot the messenger

Oh, the sorrow
Oh, the grief

it is my sad and ignominious duty to inform you of the passing of the sheep.
It lived a productive life, giving wool to those in need, support to the downtrodden insects that lived on its fleece, and giving warm, if undetectable smiles to poor campers who attempted to catch the rabbits.
Our thoughts and prayers are with its family.
Sheep, we will miss ewe.

For those of us with an iq higher than the sheep (both in its current and past state) know that azi's statement made perfect sense.

Unknown said...

you know, Azi... for a guy who complains about the Nageela t-shirt colors, you dress pretty weird yourself...

Dani, I hope this cute bit of photo editing of yours hasn't sparked any ideas for next year's t-shirts...

We have one goat, and we got two more to keep it company. Then the sheep mysteriously dies. Does anybody smell something fishy here?

Trust me chief, no animal would mess with that sheep.

Except maybe the rooster...

Brim said...

Is anyone agreeing with me that the death of the goat is a good thing?

when humans get near azi most of them pass out. I guess with sheep it's more extreme.

Hmmmmm I took care of the sheep for four weeks and a two-day follow up. It was fine. I left it for a week and poof. Dead. When humans aren'y around me they are depressed. When Sheep aren't around me they die...

Brim said...

You forgot to mention that dorky shows up to camp and the sheep is dead. Who let the sheep know that dorky was coming back? (one month out of a year is already too much to handle)

actually i have to admit that i sacrificed it for yom kippur. You guys can't pull the wool over my eyes. "But that's ok I'll slaughter you guys later", i say with a sheepish grin. Thank ewe I'm done.
