1. If that's the case, Mike's about to get gibbed.

[Chulanowa]

2. Well... If that's what he wants...

[bulloney]

14. His new nickname should be "Hamburger" Steele if he wants to be the "cow on the tracks."

Trains don't stop for no stinkin' cows, Michael.

3. That's an odd image, even for him.

Where did he come up with that?

[dysfunctional press]

10. why doesn't thomas have a cow-catcher?

what an asshole of a tank engine.

[KansDem]

15. Good question!

This might help answer it:

A cow catcher is a device attached to the front of a train in order to clear obstacles off the track. Invented in 1838 by British engineer Charles Babbage, the cow catcher is now used mostly in North America, as modern European railway systems tend to be fenced off and less susceptible to the danger of foreign objects on the track. In the locomotive industry, a cow catcher is more commonly referred to as a pilot.

Wise Geek

Thomas the Tank Engine is British, so he wouldn't have a cow catcher.

5. And we're the locomotive! Out of the way or get run over!

[MineralMan]

6. That's funny as hell.

Dude...the cow dies. The train goes on. I'd step off the tracks if I were you.

11. Personally, I love Michael Steele he's such a cause of mirth every day.

I enjoy laughing with him tremendously, but I wonder how he maintains it :) I'd hate to see him when he's down though, like any other over the top comedian it's usually cover for something dark and painful. Maybe he really is just that stupid, but I can't bring myself to believe that - I think he does it on purpose.

13. Good. Let's make hamburger.

[pennylane100]

16. call me stupid but what the fuck is he talking about.

The only outcome for a cow on the track is cream of beef soup. He is a perfect example of mad cow disease.

17. Michael Steele is a nobody
