Nutters

[grapefruitking]

It'd be kinda interesting, albeit mildly disturbing, if someone tried to eat him.

[Peanut]

He is armed

And he would be annoyed if you tried.

[mortaine]

Yes but who are you?

Why do you keep asking this? Do you want to know who this player plays in the game? Cantr is an anonymous game; if he doesn't want to tell you, he doesn't need to.

*pouts*

I created my first 'nutters' character only to have her spawn in a spot with two other nutty people. I was really hoping she would be the only one since I've not met any 'nutty' people except, perhaps, Man Animal in Siom.

*sigh*

She may need to take her potato dance on the road.

I came to the conclusion that certain areas have a high mercury content in the water, leading to a greater-than-usual number of nutters characers....

If it's the same potato dance lady that I know, the 'nutty' carrot-loving character was really quiet and introverted until the 'lady with the poatato dance' arrived...

so thankyou - It's nice to be able to play her actively again...

thankyou to the theif in Kwor (Diegeo Marakesh I think...)... He made me giggle this morning...

[Capt. Mobious]

Yes, the potato dancing lady is mine. I'm so glad she has a friend now.

[TQ]

I like the potatoe dance lady, she always makes me smile

My Guy isnt a nutter, but if you want to find out I told who my fav. charactor that I play was in the charactor name directory discussion. Its the same one that knows cow....I often wondered if cow was a beef cow or a milk cow...and if HE'S a cow..wouldnt that make HIM a SHE?

[Sunni Daez]

Nope, a cow is a cow......a male is a bull or a steer...a female is a hefer...

[kroner]

i was fairly certain that the term for both genders is cattle.

[Sunni Daez]

My appologies, cow is the term for the female!!!!

[formerly known as hf]

cow is female, male is bull

'beef' and 'milk' cows are both normally female - very few bulls are kept alive - you only need about one per twenty odd cows to make sure they're all pregnant and producing milk...

Because the cows have to be pregnant to produce milk - they're are loads of unwanted male calfs - useless, as they don't need that many as future bulls - they don't produce milk, and they're not worth keeping for beef meat, as there's more than enough from dairy cows...

As a result - very large numbers of male calfs are just killed... They're seen as useless - especially in countries, such as the UK, where veal as meat is not commonly eaten...

So - if you drink milk - even if you're a vegetarian - it's resulting in the death of thousands of unwanted male calfs...

Unfortunately, the other option - being kept alive for veal meat - is even more horrible, as they are often intensively reared in awgul conditions

anyway - sorry - that was a rant and far off topic - please ignore...

Well, it's not like the females have it much better. Being kept alive to produce milk also means a horrible existence, at least in the larger operations or "factory farms". (And don't even get me started on the way chickens are forced to live...)

Of course, we do keep cattle and chickens to sell, and a lot of my friends and relatives hunt, so it's not like I'm all touchy-feely when it comes to killing animals or anything, (though it's still not something I would personally want to do) but at least our animals get to live outdoors and have some semblance of a natural life.

I don't really consider myself a "vegan" or anything, and most of the time the PETA people just piss me off, but I don't eat meat or dairy products, and I don't buy eggs from a store. That's not just because of sentimentality, either; if more people could see the kind of environment their meat was packaged in, or how many growth hormones and antibiotics and every other kind of drug were injected into these animals, I think most of us would think twice before putting that stuff anywhere near our mouths, if only for health reasons...
