Oh So Tedious

Welcome to the new website of Oh So Sheepious, a blog about our favourite animal.

This week:

Mick Jagger explains why his favourite sheep is the Booroola Merino, and the basis of insperation in his song-writing.

“Well, I was like, you know, on drugs. High. Completely high. Stoned in a field, as you do”.
Our reporter could see a tear in Jagger’s eye as he continued.
“I was hyperventilating from mixing it with Red Bull - I thought I was gonna die. The next thing I knew I could see a cloud in the distance. I closed my eyes, I thought it was taking revenge upon me for my brilliant song - I can’t get no satisfaction, but realised that was pretty improbable. It was in fact a Booroola Merino breed of sheep. It picked me up and took me to the hospital, and I was very grateful to it. Then it got hit by a bus and died.”
“It was the inspiration for my next song “Get off of my Cloud”. It uses “cloud” as a metaphor for sheep and “you” as the bus. Clever eh? I used the double preposition to create the effect of a negative, which implies the disbelief of my friends. They told me to stop smoking pot. How stupid is that, eh?”

Jagger kept the wool as a momentum, and has kept it with him to this day.

“I wear it when rehearsing with my band. It gets a bit hot, but it’s cheaper than getting it from the Edinburgh Woolen Mill”.

The Edinburgh Woolen Mill declined to comment.

Jagger is planning to do a cover of the hit 1936 song “You Can’t Pull The Wool Over My Eyes” as the 40 year anniversary of “Bory Merry’s” (as she is affectionatly known) death approaches.

Ford’s New Airbag Design

Ford’s new idea of taking advantage of the sheep’s fluffy coat and replacing all its car airbags with a spring loaded sheep is a controversial one.
They say that the idea would work much like a cuckoo clock, but would disperse in a crash rather than on the hour. A spokesman for Ford told the press: “Our researchers have discovered that the sheep has many qualities that would bring additional benifits to the modern car, the main one being our new safety feature the “live stock safety line” which takes the lovely warm feeling of wool with the compressability of a young, plump animal to ensure a most comfortable crash with minimal discomfort for the driver and his passenger.”
When questioned about the sustainability of a sheep mounted into the steering wheel, he admitted that there were some “teething troubles” but once these problems were overcome the possibilities could be endless.

Jeremy Clarkson has been quoted as saying “I’m getting 15″.

Oh So Sheepious Closing Down

Due to lack of views, the Oh So Sheepious website will be closed down, commencing tomorrow. Established on the internet in 1842, we have been striving to provide only the best Sheep-related news. The website will be replaced by two teenage boys moaning about life.
It’s always good to see something so worthwhile being replaced by something almost as good.

Rob and Tom apologise for the above. Normality returns tomorrow.

It was a baaaad idea (couldn’t resist, sorry)

Have a good April…
