The (semi) Official Yak Appreciation Thread.

[BikeWriter]

Will everyone please say something good about yaks (just because we can and we have more fun than GD anyway)?

[Crazy Guggenheim]

1. *sniff sniff* I feel better now.

:popcorn:

[BikeWriter]

6. Good, Pard. The folks in GD wouldn't know a yak if it bit them on the butt

[Oeditpus Rex]

2. I think Mikoyan and Guerevich

made better aircraft.

But that's just me.

[BikeWriter]

4. The Migs, yes, but we're talking about the animals.

:shrug:

[Oeditpus Rex]

10. Ah

What kind of ordnance do they carry?

[BikeWriter]

13. They have gut rippers mounted on each side.

8. Oh, yeah, that "dance of the Yak" sounds cool, too!

[FuzzySlippers]

5. Marinated yak is delicious!

[BikeWriter]

9. Without beans, right?

[FuzzySlippers]

11. Not with the yak kabobs.

Definitely beans in the yak chili, though.

[BikeWriter]

14. Oh no, tell me it ain't so! Surely they wouldn't put beans in Yak Chili!

[FuzzySlippers]

16. Stretches the protein.

Quite economical.

[BikeWriter]

17. I can't believe they're not following (CASI) rules!

Chili Appreciation Society International (CASI) rules! No (0) beans!
2. NO FILLERS IN CHILI - Beans, macaroni, rice, hominy, or other similar ingredients are not permitted.

22. This antipathy you have toward beans

is bordering on the pathological.:D

[BikeWriter]

24. Oh, you noticed that, did you?

:shrug:

[In_The_Wind]

7. Yak is very soft.

[BikeWriter]

12. They do look soft. The Tibetans use their wool, too, don't they?

:shrug:

[In_The_Wind]

15. I have a hat made from Yak.

I don't know what my house mate was thinking when she bought it for me but it sure is warm. Unfortunately it's also a bit strange looking.

[BikeWriter]

18. Warm is good, whether strange looking or chic. I'd rather be...

strange looking and alive than chic and frozen anytime.

[TheBaldyMan]

19. They are the sturdy mounts of the RCMY

the Royal Canadian Kilted Yaksmen.

[BikeWriter]

21. Very good, Pard! That proves they're patriotic.

[FuzzySlippers]

23. I gotta tell ya. The thought of kilted men on yaks

is getting me pretty hot and bothered.

[BikeWriter]

25. Where can I buy a good low mileage yak and a kilt in Texas?

I hear they turn women on.

[TheBaldyMan]

26. Try the Yellow Pages ?

IIRC Billy-bob's Used Yak Emporium is in La Grange, TX
As far as the kilts go, ask some drag queens where they get their dresses made, they should point you in the right direction.

[BikeWriter]

27. If I buy a kilt, I want it to be my ancestor's real tartan...

I can't be that choosy about the yak.

[TheBaldyMan]

28. you need a tartan finding weblink ...

29. Oh, I know it's the Boyd Clan. I've looked them up before...

They look like they'd be fun wearing to the ren festivals.
