Undertoad Friday Jan 20 11:53 AM1/20/2006: Calf in a hole
Okay, this is one of those IotDs that wouldn't be seen on Friday unless it was a happy ending.
A bunch of rabbit hunters came across this calf's mother and they knew something was wrong. The cow was pacing in circles.
Apparently this calf was born and immediately fell into a deep, but skinny hole.
The hunters were able to dig it out and the calf and mother are doing fine.
mrnoodle Friday Jan 20 12:02 PMIt's a sarlacc, like in the Empire Strikes Back. It probably just got done eating Boba Fett.
glatt Friday Jan 20 12:06 PMCue We're sending our love down the well.
barefoot serpent Friday Jan 20 12:42 PMmmmm... Toad-in-the-Hole
Hawaiian Style!
Elspode Friday Jan 20 02:13 PMI'll bet someone was just trying to make organic veal.
Saknussem Friday Jan 20 06:34 PMThis just in . . .
The calf has recovered in plenty of time to make the trip to Joe-Bob's House-O-Barbecue.
imprint Friday Jan 20 07:08 PMa perfect shot by mom! so sad.
any photographs of the rescue?
Nothing But Net Friday Jan 20 09:42 PMIt's about time a mining accident had a happy ending.
zippyt Friday Jan 20 10:22 PMWell at least it ain't a gerbil in the hole
xoxoxoBruce Friday Jan 20 10:24 PMThe calf probably thought it was warm and cozy just like before mom squirted him out.
dar512 Friday Jan 20 11:26 PMThat's no way to raise cattle.
Anyone can tell that one's planted too deep.
Griff Saturday Jan 21 07:07 AMNice one!

Yea and I bet the rabbits were overjoyed that the hunters got sidetracked.
milkfish Saturday Jan 21 09:36 AMHow did the calf fall in hindquarters first? I think that it must have been grabbed by the rump by a sand shark.
chrisinhouston Sunday Jan 22 09:13 AMThis calf is going to be one screwed up animal. I mean the birth process is hard enough, getting compressed in the nice warm womb and then flushed down the birth canal. Then the bright lights of the new world, then you end up sliding down a hole in the ground. Nuts!
YellowBolt Sunday Jan 22 12:15 PMReminds me of a toilet.
Pancake Man Sunday Jan 22 12:33 PMis this some kind of cow abortion?
Saknussem Sunday Jan 22 01:23 PMYou have no doubt heard of "Mad Cow Disease". Well, this is "Mad Cow Mom Disease" -- the tragic manifestation of which is calf abuse. So sad.
On a related note: We know exactly where one cow with mad-cow-disease is located among the millions and millions of cows in North America but we haven't got a clue as to where thousands of terrorists are located. Maybe we should put the Department of Agriculture in charge of homeland security.
