Top Cutlines:

  • 1. Interviewed later, the sheep said this was the best work she's ever had - less dangerous than roaming wolf-infested mountains, and certainly far easier than the sad lot of her cousins down in Enumclaw. To those who suggest sheep rodeos are inhumane, “Baaaa,” she said -- Brent Andrews.
  • 2. Paris sheepishly addresses the media after she rammed into the ground, explaining that she didn't see the ewe turn -- JohnA.
  • 3. Life Is a Britch! -- Pecky Cox.
