A HAPPY MULE

humorous-319_smallIn light of our recent disclosure of the mule menace of terror, this picture is meant to show that there are good-American mules who are happy and well-adjusted.

For all of those muleophobes, I hope that this picture will dispel any prejudices against our mule friends. Most mules reject violence as a means of social change and remains some of the hardest working members of our society.

Thanks to Mespo, it is now possible to double your mule pleasure.44565259_76c4a0967f_m

    A friend introduced me to a band today. Flobots. They are a hip-hop group (yes, I do know the difference between rap and hip-hop) out of Denver, but I thought you all might appreciate the lyrics to their song, “Rise”. Enjoy!

    So much pain we
    Don’t know how to be but angry
    Feel infected like we’ve got gangrene
    Please don’t let anybody try to change me
    Me
    Just me
    In the middle of a sea full of faces
    Full of faces
    Some laugh some salivate
    Whats in your alleyway
    Recycling bins or bullet cases
    It’s not equal
    It’s not fair
    Were different people
    But were not scared
    We ain’t never scared
    To pave a new path
    Make a new street
    Build a new bridge
    Say can you see by the dawns early light
    Free slaves running
    Songs words weren’t right
    Now a new days coming
    The few stay stunning while the many are handsome
    Your soul is alive but they want it for ransom
    The base drumming is the anthem
    We step to the heartbeats of our granddaughters and grandsons
    And

    Rise together we

    Lost hope and found need
    Grounded by our surroundings
    Did the walls scream universities
    Or you and i verse the tees
    React automatic and we burst when squeezed
    And make 9-11 each emergency
    Urgency amber to red like the turning leaves
    Oh please let the hurting cease
    Don’t let apathy police the populace
    We will march across
    Those stereotypes that were marked for us
    The answers obvious
    We switch the consonants
    Change the sword to words and lift continents

    If you believe in redemption
    I’m calling to you from another dimension

    How would the destruction of Israel make this a better world?
    How about a petition for the destruction of Saudi Arabia or maybe Syria or Iran or Red China or Zimbabwe or Cuba or Venezuela. I could sign on to that petition. But Israel, no, probably better to keep them intact as a state.

  5. The single supposedly mule looks suspiciously like a burrow, although it could be the lighting.

  6. Ha! and that must be a scared-white Republican sadly lurking behind..

  9. For a verified account of a mule foaling, read the following article. This rare event is quite fascinating and from my readings, this is only the 3rd scientifically verified account of this genetic improbability.

    That article is were I got the “cum mula peperit”

    I meant to post my last post above on the Yo Quiero (Chihuahua) thread instead of here.

  13. Mike Spindell,

    Before you take Professor Turley’s advice to view the “double mules” and become one with them, please read the evidence I submitted. “See the Mule, Mike, be the Mule” might end up as See the Ass, Mike, be the Ass” which has a whole altogether different connotation.

    Sorry ‘fessor, I just could not resist the overwhelming temptation…

    And Mike, we know of your unstubborn character & intelligence…

  14. Alas, Betsy (from Pike & Sweet?) is correct.

    Professor Turley *assumed* that his submission was a mule’s mug shot while, in fact, it strongly ‘appears’ to be an *ass* shot, aka a donkey, or burro. However, young mules sometimes resemble donkeys, but observing the equines’ body confirmation, the characteristic Nubian Ass gray color, the dorsal stripe, and the apparent pre-withers shoulder stripe, I would say that it is not a yearling mule resembling a donkey but that it is in fact the photographic likeness of a donkey.

    Now, if you prefer to submit substantive evidence in the form of a certified karyotype showing 62 chromosomes (donkey) v. 63 chromosomes* (mule) then I will concur and admit that my eyes have deceived me after many years of packing and riding both mules and donkeys. (*disregarding rare genetic *mosaics* of 63 & 64 chromosomes).

    Although I am an older man and more subject to error from over stimulated/dispensed brain cells, I will not concur that the mug shot is that of a mule—happy or otherwise—without the karyotypic evidence and until…well,

    “cum mula peperit”

  16. I don’t see a happy mule. I see rampant anthropomorphism. I wouldn’t turn my back on that one. By the way I’ve heard that if a person dies alone with their mule the mule will eat you. I’m just saying….beware and they’re not kosher to boot.

  19. Yeah there is rampant prejudice against burros and mules–people say the animals are surly, but those people are the ones that are surly.
