Even though saying his name* makes my teeth grate, Rick O’Shea, a 2FM DJ, has a blog and he has a rather amusing entry on cows.
Samples:
SOCIALISM:You have 2 cows, and you give one to your neighbour.
COMMUNISM:You have 2 cows. The State takes both and gives you some milk.
FASCISM:You have 2 cows. The State takes both and sells you some milk.
etc etc
My favourites are these;
SURREALISM:You have two giraffes. The government requires you to take harmonica lessons.
and
THE POLISH GOVERNMENT:You have two cows. You lecture one on how turning gay will mean the end of cattle. The other cow emigrates.
* I think Rick may have started deejaying when it was a requirement to have a silly name, and now he can’t turn back. Poor mite.

I did. It’s true. It’s now officially recognised as a form of child abuse but then? Sure everyone was doing it… I just felt the need to fit in. Dusty Rhodes, Robin Banks, Sandy Beech, Dan Francisco and I have a support group

It could have been a lot worse though. Bob Ferapples? Demi Tasse? Larry Gogan? (Oh, hang on….)
(Dan Franscisco = Respect.)

Dusty Rhodes must surely be the worst. Do people actually call hiim Dusty? When it comes to cows Garry Larson is your only man.

I naively used to think Dusty Rhodes was that dude’s real name. I mean, who would ever make that name up for themselves? In fairness! At least Rick O’Shea sounds like a normal person name; albeit it does conjure images of a medallion wearing wedding DJ.
Tell me Larry Gogan is real, or my world will tumble around me.
Or something.

Conor: The only Dusty I know that could carry off that name is Ms Springfield and it wasn’t her real name either.
Minge: Me too. Have you read the whole thing on Richochet’s page?
Alan: Poor Rick! Now he’s being imagined as a Disco Stu type! (Larry is real, bless him!)

Yes, I did read the whole thing and, spookily, since then, have seen it twice elsewhere on the internet!
