"M" is motley

The motley group of mixed sheep were hardly cooperating with Jack and the Chilean as they tried to separate them into two flocks again.

"N" is nonplus

Jack, Ennis and the Chileans were confounded by the ovine nonplus.

"O" is ownership

Joe Aguirre had branded his sheep to prove ownership.  Unfortunately, he used nonpermanent paint.

"P" is personally

Jack reacted personally to the owner of the flock and began to blame Aguirre for his ovine kettle of fish.

"R" is reunite

The boys' goal was to reunite Aguirre's sheep with one another.

As Hardy said to Laurel:  "That's ovine kettle of fish you've got us into."

There was a damn miserable time for five days, Ennis and a Chilean herder with no English trying to sort them out, the task almost impossible as the paint brands were worn and faint at this late season.

=question=
So where was Jack?

Sorting sheep on Brokeback with Chilean helpers was no treat for Jack Ennis.

"U" is uniqueness

The uniqueness of the paint brands was useless when they wore off.

=milestone= Fran
Congrats on 3000.  You're definitely unique.

"V" is vaguest
« Reply #12308 on: April 03, 2007, 04:07:26 pm »
As the hailstones pepper down, Jack and Ennis haven't the vaguest notion that the sheep are drifting west into another allotment.

=aside= Toast and Paul
Thanks for noticing my "little" milestone.  I do like the sheep.
