Cows????
Try Buffalo.

I might have known "Crazy Bill Baka" would improve on this. Even though
I wasn't offering my experience as that of a seasoned survival expert
and dog whisperer like you Bill

Well, dip ****, I tried sneaking past a few on foot many years ago, and
the males don't want any one or anything on their turf. Experienced at
running from a *huge* male buffalo.

One might EXPECT hassle with Buffalo .. but many dont with normally
docile Cows.

I don't think the cows would chase you but if there was a bull in the
mix you would certainly have an interesting ride *through* cows, your
words.

Through cows yes. There were many. And they DO run and chase. And DO
kill.

Hint do you never weave/cycle through traffic? You're such an arse at
times.


They look innocent but are worse than bulls if they decide to have a bad
day.

They look innocent? Right ....

How does one cycle 'through' a cow?

Your words, fool.

Yes. And anyone sane would understand them.


I guess the same way a Bull ****s using you.

Am I squeezing your head?

Wrecking it, maybe.

Well, hell, Bill. Why **** around with stupid, slow, bovine-ish
critters? Tell us how you've cycled in amongst the Rhinos, Lions,
Grizzlies, and Alligators.

I'm sure you've done that, right Bill?

Bill, where are the pics you promised to post? How about you post
some pics of these high-speed cows and other farm animals that you
play with. Can you do that, Bill, or is all of this just more fantasy
and fabrication?

Dunno about high speed, but they can certainly do a decent trot,
probably more typically about 8mph, use the stile, dont try to use a
gate , they'll push through and you'll get the blame.

First, they didn't pace me for a full mile.

Well, you *said* they did, Bill. Here's your direct quote:

Last year I was out in the boondocks pushing about 12 MPH into a
headwind when a small herd of cows decided to pace me. With all the
bells it was a constant dingle-ling for about a mile then they had to
stop for a fence.

What do you have to say about that, Bill? It's right there. You said
they followed you until they hit the fence, for a mile. Can you wiggle
out of that?

Second, 12 MPH is kind of a light trot for a cow.

Wrong, Bill. That's pretty fast for a cow, and there's no way they would
do it for an entire mile.

Oh, actually you claimed they did it for *another* mile on your way back,
sometime later in the day:

On the way back they did the same thing, following next to me until
they hit the fence.

That's another direct quote, Bill.

What say you, Bill?

Bill's posts are so extreme I googled some more. He seems even more of a
bull****ter when it comes to Operating Systems. Some of his claims
beggar belief. Is he trolling?

Went on a 54 mile ride today with a friend through King's Mountain State

chasing us. Well, chasing is a liberal term; they weren't barking,
snarling or biting at our heels, just running after/with us.

And running...

And running...

And running!

After two miles, one of them dropped off.

The other kept running,

and running.

After about three miles we stopped, got a plastic cup out of the gutter,
poured some water in it and offered it to the other one. Yeah, he was
still running with us, at an average speed of 12-14 *miles an hour! He
wouldn't take any of he water, he just kept nuzzling for us to pet him.

After about a minute of him refusing anything other than attention, we
put the cup down, thinking he might take it, or at least stop on his way
back home, for as we continued on he continued to follow us, never
slowing. He just kept running.

And running.

And running.

And running.

We finally lost him as we pulled into the town of Hickory Grove, after
FOUR AND A HALF MILES!

What's the farthest y'all have ever been chased by the same dog?

My friend Karl Kohlrus in Springfield IL had a friendly dog follow him
for a 26 mile loop.
The owners were waiting for him when they got back.
Next day started to follow him again but stopped after a few hundred
feet.

I had a friend a couple of years ago TBone a cow loose on the road in
Pennsylvania on a downhill about 30 mph. Totaled the bicycle and a
little road rash on him.

Oh, I'm well familiar with his OS trolling. He claims to use Linux, but
does not, and was highly active in some Linux newsgroups in the past. In
recent months he has been run out of town on a rail, by those Linux users
(including myself) who can spot his bull**** a mile away. He's a
complete and utter whack-job, who lives in a fantasy world and makes up
all kinds of stories about his "accomplishments". He's a liar and a
bull****ter, and is not to be believed on anything.

I had a dog that kept loping off on his own. In five minutes he could
be a mile away but never went further. After being in for a couple of
days I though i better take him for a walk before he does one. I had
some time to spare and was feeling quite good and I walked him for
fifteen miles. Both mine and his feet were burning when we got home.
The next day I asked him whether he wanted walking. He moved his eyes
and nothing else. I closed on him and his tail flicked once. He was
happy but there was no way he was leaving the house. He stayed in bed
until the evening.

Yes that is where I worked for 13 years and my web pages

The trimmed link you get is the "IR Lab" (Information Retrieval]
