AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the topic of "ugly sheep," referencing a CNN article about the limited number of such sheep found during the current lambing season, which runs from April to September. Only ten ugly sheep have been identified, raising questions about the survey's thoroughness and standards. Participants humorously speculate on the reasons behind the low count, suggesting that perhaps the criteria for identifying ugly sheep are too strict or that the unattractive lambs are simply turned into lamb chops. The conversation also touches on the subjective nature of beauty in sheep, with one participant asserting that all sheep are beautiful in their own way. Additionally, there are light-hearted comments about inflatable sheep dolls and a playful inquiry about the whereabouts of another participant named Danger. Overall, the thread combines humor with a light-hearted critique of the sheep evaluation process.

This is for Moonbie than anything else, since she deals with lots of sheep day in, day out...

So far only 10 ugly sheep have been found this lambing season, which stretches from April to September...
This comment is puzzling. They couldn't have done their survey at 10 minutes to closing time or I doubt they could have found this many. Still, their standards can't be that high if they've only found 10 ugly sheep in 4 1/2 months.

Maybe they did their survey at 23 minutes to closing time.
 
I bet there mama's still love them! Poor little baby sheeps.
 
Does the phrase "virgin wool" (comes from ugly sheep) spring to anybody else's mind? By the way where is Danger in this discussion?
 
Last night I discovered that there are inflatable sheep dolls. :blushing: :eek:

Has it occurred to you that you might be dating the wrong type of men?

Right here, dude. I've been busy (damned clients ).
There is no such thing as an ugly sheep; they're all beautiful in their own special ways. :rolleyes:
 
:smile: Yep, I've seen that. They're being too picky though. They only want Merino sheep from Australia.

The problem they're likely having is that the ugly lambs probably just get made into lamb chops.

Maybe they're getting lonely and drink a lot of beer.
