Do you guys have calf club days at school in the boonies?

It's still a thing here - kids train a calf or lamb and take them to school for a day. Great fun.

Haven't heard anything about it in Oz but i haven't heard a cow in a long time either.

That reminds me,
Whatever happened to genital crabs?
Haven't seen them in ages.

It was always the best day of the year at primary schools in farming areas. Girls would bring lambs, boys calves, and the oldest boys would bring a heifer. Kind of school meets agricultural show for a day.

As well as the prizes for animals, there were also handcraft prizes and fairground stuff like who can throw a gumboot the furthest, who can hit a nail into wood the deepest, etc. I always got prizes in the girly handcrafts - flower arranging & the likes - which made me very popular with the farm boys from the area.

The school I attended in my tween years was deep in the countryside of the central North Island, and calf club was always scheduled on Melbourne Cup day and it was basically a party for anyone within 20 km radius.

Very simple answer to that - Brazilians.

No, not the people, the near-universal trend of removing pubic hair. No pubes = no crabs.

Sounds more fun than we had. I was city schooled, had rels in the bush though so got to see both sides of life.

I vaguely recall those 'skills'/crafts days but they didn't go on past primary school.

The silliest thing we did at school was learning the Maypole dance. Is there a more useless naff wast of energy than that?

There's growing evidence that suggests the poor buggers are facing extinction.

Poor buggars? No. They're parasites.

Fuck em.


Wait.

What?

Yeah, I don't think I'll shed any tears for the demise of genital crabs.

Not that they'll disappear, anyway. I'm sure they're as rife as ever in the 3rd world.
