tickled...

For my birthday, my mom has offered to get me a water buffalo.

nar?

is this a timeshare buffalo?

do you only get part of it?

or does it come dissasembled, and you get to eat it?

or is it some sort of virtual water buffalo, like buying a fistful of trees that are planted on your behalf in some desolate landscape like detroit?

Or is it an Ikea water buffalo, that comes in a box in 12,000 pieces, all of which need to be assembled using differently-sized hex drivers?

Well, I was thinking a good use for the back 40...

until I realized the back 40 is more like a back .3

So it makes the most sense to ship it (or I should say "deliver" it) somewhere it can roam.

And pull carts and give milk and plow fields and maybe procreate and eventually maybe get turned into a nice Indian or Thai slow-cooked stew. Something like that.

So, not virtual, so much as colocated.

Does this mean you'lle be our source for freshest of fresh true mozzarella?

/Someone's/ source, at least.

I hope.

The middlemen seem a bit cagey on the details. (Do they ship me mozzeralla? Do I get regular updates on my water buffalo's progress? Or at least a fake generic letter, "Dear Adoptive Parent, I am fine. Thank you for adopting me. Asia is nice.")

At least they didn't offer us a watery Buffalo. I don't think we have room for Niagara Falls in our yard.

Or, doctor-recommended Water Buffalo Water. Ew.
