Cowboy wins rodeo, then goes to brand cows…

For the second straight year some cowboy walked into a saloon known as Erzberg and bragged about his riding skills. Everyone there had seen the likes of him before and said “ahh not this time” He proved them wrong again. To quote the great Wyatt “He was a Tad better.” Even though no one thought the course would be run in less than 2 hours, Taddy mastered it in 1 hour and 20 minutes. This makes his win streak at 2 wins in 2 tries. Taddy didn’t have it all his way though. BMW’s Lettenbichler was out front early and still finished second. Taddy got a bad start and had to fight his way through in the dusty conditions. Tea sipping UK man Paul Bolton (I don’t think he is related to Michael.) finished in third. For American pride we had a youngster named Kyle Redmond and Geoff Aarron, both riding Chistini KTM’s, who finished 5th and 6th. This is Redmond’s second trip to the rodeo and finished 9th last year. Going by that record he will move up another four spots to second next year and win the whole deal the year after that!

In that picture you can almost see the invisible cow that he is holding above his head!

I hear invisable cows are immune to Mad Cow Disease but are prove on heck of a challenge to tip, especially at night. Taddy is probably a better rider than I am but my last name is easier to pronounce.

I have never seen you ride Wyatt and I have never seen Taddy ride in person. I am going to agree with you though. I am sure he is a better rider. Now about that cow tipping… Does the milecular instability of the cow being invisible make them easier to tip once you do find them?

A cow is a cow is a cow, until you to grill an invisible one, then you just rely on your instincts. As for tipping invisible cows I started at a young age (before they were even invented) and blindfolded myself and set myself loose in a field full of cattle, I still remember the thrill of lifting the blind fold and counting 15 cows tipped solid!

Are you sure that the 15 were not sleeping?

I know my cows and they have five stomachs, never sleep and were first breed to be tipped in the Coliseum. Archaeological evidence shows that around the 11th century people started grilling and eating the bovine, coincidently this is roughly the same period that evidence of the first hamburger bun was found.
Now, isn’t history fun, cows were not eaten for thousands of years, in fact we have been tipping cows longer than eating them!

Your brilliance is always amazing… So how do you grill an invisible cow? And how do you make a cow invisible? Do different breeds of cows have a different formula to make them invisible? Oh and one last thing… Can you make me invisible so I can go have a peek in the girls bathroom?
