Musical Sheep 04.30.10
The song depicted on Musical Sheep is Johann Pachelbel's "Canon in D Major" which is truly one of my favorite pieces of classical music.
Tragically, Musical Sheep followed in the footsteps of British Sheep, the dog in Firesheep Sheep, and a few of our other fallen brethren, and he was brutally "swiped"-out last night. He passed away early this morning. He will be missed, but luckily we will always have this portrait to remember him by...

Firesheep Sheep 04.26.10
Hooray for Firesheep Sheep, here to save the day with its a-MAZING firesheep dalmatian! Together they are a formidable duo, heroes on a daily basis!
This sheep is inspired by and dedicated to the brave firemen & women of our country; professional, volunteer, and in-training. I respect and admire them so much, because I know what it takes to dash into a burning building (I did it once, and I can tell you this, I NEVER want to do it again.) Also, this is partially dedicated to my big brother, who when he was 5, really wanted to be a fireman.
Also partially dedicated to Wills Hall... who had another fire alarm tonight. Probably the 4th or 5th this year, and there hasn't actually been a single fire yet (knock on wood.)

Spring Sheep 04.25.10
Spring Sheep is inspired by the beautiful weather Vermont manages to squeeze out every few weeks, but dedicate to Springfest, an annual music festival that rages at UVM for a few hours, leaving everyone hoarse, with numb arms from raving too hard, and stumbling with the slightest of contact highs. The bass was pumping from about 10 in the morning until 530 or 6 at night. Luckily, I had a prime seat from my dorm room, and could watch hordes of students wildly leaping, cheering, singing along, crowd-surfing, and even donning mascot suits (a kangaroo and a dragon).
Also, quick apology for the bad photography. I cut off the "G", but I'll assume that you might use your imagination to fill it in :)
Peace, Love, and Sheep 04.22.10
Happy Earth Day!! At my uber-green school in Vermont, Earth Day is kind of a big deal. It should be a big deal to EVERYONE, because if you've never noticed, the Earth is fairly important to our general survival. Fairly.
Good sites to check out:

This is partially dedicated to a friend by the name of Mike, who despite having attended the University of Vermont for 3 years so far, still harbors a grudge against the "god-damn dirty hippies".
NOTE: We at TDS do not harbor a grudge against any dirty hippies. In fact, we like them. Many of them are vegetarians, therefore do not eat us.
So "Peace, LOVE & Sheep" to you and yours, from me and mine <3

Sheep Go To Heaven 04.16.10
So, a few requests:
*If you love goats, do not be offended. I know some perfectly nice goats who deserve only the best afterlife.
*If you hate sheep, you should not necessarily be reading this blog.
*If you do not believe in heaven or hell, that is ok; I'm not sure if I do, either. HOWEVER, I believe strongly in Cake.
*If you DO believe in heaven and hell, to the point that it consumes your entire being... please do not hate me for insinuating that sheep and goats are making overpopulation an issue... there's room for all.
:)

Who Sheep 04.12.10
Since I've been slacking off so much lately, I'm giving you TWO sheep for the price of one. Isn't that wicked exciting?
This sheep is inspired by, dedicated to, and drawn with love for, Doctor Who and David Tennant. (And, even though there is an eleventh doctor, David Tennant will always be my Doctor <3)>"Doctor Who is a British science fiction television programme produced by the BBC. The programme depicts the adventures of a mysterious, humanoid alien known as the Doctor who travels through time and space in his spacecraft, the TARDIS (an acronym for Time And Relative Dimensions In Space), which normally appears from the exterior to be a blue 1950s British police box. With his companions, he explores time and space, faces a variety of foes and rights wrongs.
The programme is listed in Guinness World Records as the longest-running science fiction television show in the world, and as the "most successful" science fiction series of all time, in terms of its overall broadcast ratings, DVD and book sales, iTunes traffic and "illegal downloads." It has been recognised for its imaginative stories, creative low-budget special effects during its original run, and pioneering use of electronic music (originally produced by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop). The show is a significant part of British popular culture; in the United Kingdom and elsewhere, it has become a cult television favourite and has influenced generations of British television professionals, many of whom grew up watching the series. It has received recognition from critics and the public as one of the finest British television programmes, including the BAFTA Award for Best Drama Series in 2006, and five consecutive wins at the National Television Awards since 2005, in the Drama category.
The programme originally ran from 1963 to 1989. After an unsuccessful attempt to revive regular production with a backdoor pilot in the form of a 1996 television film, the programme was successfully relaunched in 2005, produced in-house by BBC Wales in Cardiff. The first was produced by the BBC and series two and three of the new series had some development money contributed by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), which was credited as a co-producer. Doctor Who also spawned spin-offs in multiple media, including the current television programmes Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures, the standalone K-9 and a single 1981 pilot episode of K-9 and Company.
The Doctor has been played by eleven actors. The transition from one actor to another is written into the plot of the show as regeneration, whereby the character of the Doctor takes on a new body and, to some extent, new personality. Although each portrayal is different, and on occasion the various incarnations have even encountered one another, they are all meant to be aspects of the same character. The Doctor is currently portrayed by Matt Smith, who took up the role after David Tennant's final appearance in an episode broadcast on 1 January 2010. A fifth series of the relaunched programme returned on 3 April 2010, in which the Eleventh Doctor is accompanied by Amy Pond, portrayed by Karen Gillan. On 6 October 2009, a redesigned logo was unveiled which accompanies a redesign of the iconic TARDIS." (wikipedia)
Green Monster Sheep 04.12.10
Sorry, 'Sox fans, it's not THAT green monster. This is actually a different one... and if you don't get the reference... well... go pick up a book :)
I don't know what caused the interesting development of a sheep being created on my computer, rather than on a whiteboard, but I'm trying it out. Let's see what happens!!!! :O WOAH NEW STUFF!

Goffik Sheep 04.09.10
Or, he's a link for your convenience:
http://myimmortalrehost.webs.com/
It's pretty awesome, I'm not going to lie. You don't even have to be a fan of Harry Potter OR the English language to enjoy the humor in this story. There are online dramatic readings, fanart, most-memorable quotes, drinking games, and pretty much anything you could think of that relates to this fanfiction.
It is widely believed that "Tara" is secretly an internet troll, and not a language-impaired 12-year old, but theories will circulate as they do. For cereal? Read part of that fan fiction.
