What makes the musk ox guard his musk?
I give up?
Courage!
Genius.
AuntieBellum gets the PRIZE for most-helpful CO joke assistance!!!
COURAGE!
But I could show my prowess,
Be a lion not a mowess,
If I only had the nerve…
you made me whistle
Puddem up! Puddem up!
And my favorite:
“How long ya stay fresh in that can?”
“Ahw-RUFF!!!!”
he looks so sturdy! sturdiously cute?
Upon studiously studying said photos, sturdiously cute is spot on.
Last week, my brother told me that he had
developed a “robust” filing system for my medical paperwork/ files. …
that and “sturdy” here, both made me go “hmmmmm” —
Also, I think I’ll go research the size of a “tiny” toddler ox-kid (re. hoovertext) …..
Update on that, later …
YAY Meggins!!! YAY mama ox and “tiny” young’un ox!!!
YAY third-grade jokes!!!
what a cutie…
Hahahaha!
Like when my little brother used to repeat over and over “What did one wall say to the other? Meet you at the corner!”
Now my nephew does it.
I’m totally going to teach that to my 7 yr old granddaughter.
I don’t have grandchildren, marthava but I’m already stockpiling dreadful jokes to teach them when they do arrive. Revenge is sweet BWAAAAHAHAHA.
*cough* Normal service will now be resumed.
Here’s a good one.
Pete and Repeat sat on a log. Pete fell off. Who was left?
“Repeat.”
Okay. Pete and Repeat sat on a log…
Etc., and so forth, ad nauseum.
I would probably hurt someone if they did that to me.
If my niece and nephew don’t know that one, they should.
OMG, Auntie, that’s one of my dad’s favorite jokes!
He told it to us as kids, and then to my nephews, and now to my grand-nephews. Never gets old for him.
Okay this is really weird; this post made me realize that last night I dreamt I had a pet ox. Not musk, but the kind that plowed the West. Am I clairvoyant – anticipating this post – or do I need professional help?? Don’t answer that.
Was it Blue, and did you name it Babe?
This kind of thing happens to me all the time. It’s normal.
erm….
(heh heh)
JK, ‘course ….
Whew. THAT’S a relief. I knew these were my people.
Olly Olly Oxen Squee!
thumbs up
Methinks Mom Ox has heard these before……Repeatedly……
I was guessing “Cow-llision” as I was scrolling down. Oh well! Clearly I need to brush up on my first-grade humor.
HAR!!! Totally reminded me of when my girls were little and the banana Knock knock joke… Still rolling my eyes just remembering it… or my oldest daughters penchant for those joke books…
orange you gonna tell us the banana knock knock joke?
Knock knock!
Who’s there?
Interrupting Musk Ox!
Interrupting Musk—
MOOOOOOOOO!
My now 22 year old daughter ran that one repeatedly when she was about 6 yrs old, except she did interrupting sheep.
YAY sheep!!!
– “WHERE’s Bea???”
I gave my nephew this book last Xmas:
Interrupting Chicken
My favorite knock knock:
Knock knock
Who’s there?
Control Freak. Now you say “Control Freak who?”
*titter*
BEST ONE EVER.
Just an awesome photo = breath taking in nature. Thank you for sharing.
Did you hear the one about the actor who fell through the floor?
It was just a stage he was going through.
*giggles to self, and runs away from tomatoes and lettuce being tossed*.
… adding it to the list….
*cracks up*
Yes, It’s been a loooooong day…!
My favourite juvenile joke (dusted off every Easter): what do you get when you pour hot water down a rabbit hole?
Hot Cross bunnies!
Har Har1 What do you get when you drop a piano down a mine?
A flat miner.
Yes!!!!
I just literally laughed out loud at that one! I’m getting ready to head out for an 8 hour car ride and I’m trying to remember these so I can tell them on the way down!
Here’s one more for the road:
Q: How are a blonde and a cow patty alike?
A: The older they are, the easier they are to pick up.
(I am a strawberry-blonde so I am authorized to tell this joke.)
….and HERE’s the road, itself

Musk ox fans can support muskoxfarm.org , a project in Alaska to domesticate musk oxen and weave their super-soft winter wool into scarves, hats, etc. which provides jobs for Native Alaskan women. More photos, info, and gifts (coming soon) on the website. Adopt a musk ox! I’m not associated with the project, just passing it on.
I have a knitted hat made of their qiviut wool and it is really warm and lightweight! http://www.qiviut.com/
*the more you know*
Cool data, Rhea!!! You win!
Good idea. Arent’ they close to being on the endangered list? We have a new WWF spokesperson people! That little one is adorable.
Musk ox qiviut is amazing — as a knitter who adores lovely fibers, my first reaction on seeing the photo was, ooh, baby qiviut! I wonder if the baby’s undercoat (from which the qiviut is spun) is even softer than an adult’s — and is that even possible?
“quiviut” ???????
Nope, qiviut, no u after that q.
I was gonna say the picture is of qiviut on the hoof, which would make most fiber folks drool. Qiviut is teh expensive.
Where does the Lone Ranger take his garbage?
To the dump, the dump, the dump dump dump!
Oh YEAH! Shades of sleepovers with my cousin when we were 7!
He is smaller than his mummy’s head.

My all time favorite…
Why did the elephant stand on the marshmallow?
