| DVD Dan commented on 01.25.05 | | In the states we call that Cow Bingo. |
|
|
| wim commented on 01.25.05 | | I meant "*" and not "**" |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 01.25.05 | | I think you might have one too many asterisks in there, wim, unless you mean "cowshirt"! |
|
|
| wim commented on 01.25.05 | | In Belgium we have a game called "cowsh**tdropping" You take a big grange, a footballgreen for instance, divide it in to 1000 or more numbered squares, send a cow on the field and make bets on the numbered square where she will drop her first big "dropping". Something like rural roulette. A lot of clubs get their savings out of this kind of sh**t. If she drops it on your number, you win a price. |

| Rebecca commented on 01.25.05 | | No it's when you pull the fly out of your soup and leave it for the waitress instead of the 15 or 20%. |
|
|
| DVD Dan commented on 01.24.05 | | I thought fly tipping was when you slip a fly a few schillings to stay out of your soup. |

|
| FOD40UK commented on 01.24.05 | | And by the way, we invented cow-tipping(unless Native Americans were Bison-tipping a thousand years ago?!) |
|
|
| FOD40UK commented on 01.24.05 | | Christine/Rebecca:Didn't we have this *fly tipping* conversation last Spring?Mmm, I'll see if I can find it! |

|
| Smart Set commented on 01.24.05 | | "What is this place smart set" Sorry, Vogon, I didn't see this question in the flurry of comments earlier. I'm afraid I don't know what this place was. I just ran in and ran out again. |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 01.24.05 | | By asking what "fly tipping" was when you'd already explained it. |

|
| ChristineLarsen commented on 01.24.05 | | Yeah, me too Rebecca. Kind of like our version of "cow tipping" only with the use of insects, and a bit easier than tipping a cow. |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 01.24.05 | | I was thinking about how to word my reply, actually, when you nipped in. |
|
|
| Rebecca commented on 01.24.05 | | I'm just picturing some really tiny person pushing hard against the side of a housefly... |

|
|
| Vogon3 commented on 01.24.05 | | When you are dumping rubish on the fly (Sneaky) |
|
|
| ChristineLarsen commented on 01.24.05 | | Could one of you handsome brits please explain to this American woodsy girl what "fly tipping" is and why we can't indulge in this activity in this spot? |
