...points me to the compost heap, where there should be no shortage of “verms.” The sort of fishing I’ve done has always been with lures or not-live bait. After shoveling through four feet of partially decomposed fruit, hay and cow shit I faintly glimpse ugly translucent wiggles—not the cute pink type I used to step on in my driveway after a rain or the kind I opened up in freshman bio—but worms who seem like they’d be more comfortable eating...
When Roger Federer won Wimbledon last year, Swiss tennis officials presented him with Juliette, a prize cow. But you don't have to be a tennis star to own a fine Swiss bovine. Nina, Beate and Britta are big brown cows that spend their days grazing the picturesque Alpine meadows above Brienz, in Switzerland's Bernese Oberland-and they're for rent...
...would anyone want to rent a cow? Say "cheese"-several varieties produced from your protégé's milk will, by summer's end, be yours. Last year the cows' owners, farmers Paul and Helga Wyler, decided to beef up their income by renting out the bovines. This year they are leasing their 100 cows.

While Heckroth would return to England, the movement stayed. And the Agapitos/Wilson Collection makes marvellously clear how this "whore of the polymorphous," as James puts it, sunk its tentacles deep into the body of Australian art.

What emerged was perhaps not pure Surrealism, but a psychological shift which was true to a movement that sought, above all, to liberate...
...convenient. In many areas of the U.S., if you had a craving for cookies a century ago, you had to fire up the woodstove and make the dough from scratch. If you wanted butter, you had to churn it. If you wanted a steak, you had to butcher the cow. Now you jump into the car and head for the nearest convenience store--or if that's too much effort, you pick up a phone or log on to the Internet and have the stuff delivered to your door...
