Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, flaming otters, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Why pay for the cow when you can get the cow for free.
Because there is a strong social network built up around the exchange of the cow, and the cow is a long term investment.
Yes, I am writing an essay on the place of livestock in grain producing societies, why do you ask? Also, why am I even here when I should be writing it?
I think that would be a nice gift, aurelia. But sometimes it's hard to tell what will offend someone....
