Title: I Hate Sheep, Live in San Angelo You Will To
Post by: BigMattFromTexas on August 04, 2009, 02:16:49 PM
In San Angelo someone thought it would be a good idea to make dozens of fiber-glass sheep and i guess sell em' to businesses and have trhem painted. Someone stole the Goodfellow AFB sheep last month but i guess they found it.

West Orange NJ had the cows for awhile.  Bennington has moose every year.  I've seen dolphins too.  I for one appreciate seeing public art breaking up the monotony.

here is an Americamoose ... and a malfunctioning thermometer.  It was about 36 in St. Ignace, MI when I took this photo!

158 F?

Yee haw! The day has finally came where the temp struck 158 F! :p  :sombrero:

That is one stupid thermometer.

Anyways, is San Angelo's mascot a sheep? I'd be awful surprised if it wasn't.

^^ That 158's probably Celsius. Celsius numbers are often higher, aren't they? :confused:


Be well,

Not generally.  158 degrees Celsius would be 316.4 Fahrenheit.  Now, Kelvin uses the same degrees as Celsius but the 0 point is absolute zero (-273 C).  So, 158 Kelvin is -115 Celsius which is -175 Fahrenheit.

Therefore any way you look at it the sign is wrong! :pan:

Here in Rochester we had horses and later assorted animals.  To the south, Canandaigua had deer.

Rams are similar to sheep, so SA's mascot is a sheep-ish.

To wherever men are men, the women are too, and the sheep, well, they be nervous.

I suspect he really doesn't find this thread offensive; he is probably jealous of the many conquests enjoyed by the Toast of Alanland (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/813466.stm).  And the revenge exacted on poor Toast; now that's excessive moderation!

Why was this thread locked?  I complained to one of the mods and got it unlocked.  This is a good example of my stance that the forum can be overmoderated at times.

In all seriousness, because it was bumped by NE2 for no real reason other than to make a joke, and to make a pointed comment about roadman65. Is it really necessary to keep open?

Was it necessary to close it in the first place? It will play itself out.

Whatever. I saw the lock as an obvious joke response to a joke bump. Now stop fighting among each other and join against our common caterpillar enemy.

Here's me in less-stupid days now. I failed to explain that San Angelo used to be the "Wool and Mohair Capital of the World", so we are just proud of our heritage I guess.. Haha, those sheep still annoy me, but they look a lil better now..
