Mike: I used to deal with a factory rep who was a gentleman farmer in Tennessee. He didn't raise cattle, he always said he had "some cows." They fall asleep standing up and he claimed tipping was a dangerous sport. As far as it being anything but fantasy, I think we need to hear from someone who has perhaps in his life actually tipped one of them buggers.
As far as gin goes, I don't know about the juniper berry. I thought all you needed to make gin was a bathtub. Tanqueray is fersure the "kind" - some prefer Bombay, but they're idiots.

Those nasty little berries are classified as a mild toxin, which is one reason the pros shy away from Gin and tend to stick with Vodka...... and Scotch (of course.. .... )
Gin is made by adding the flavor of various botanicals (herbs and spices) to a neutral spirit. The first step is to distill the white spirit. It is rare to find a gin producer that distills its own neutral spirit. Often it is purchased from a plant which specializes in the manufacturing of neutral grain spirits for a variety of uses. The second step of crafting gin is made by re-distilling the spirit with the botanicals, either with these ingredients in the still, or by passing the vapor through the agents during distillation. Most dry gin is produced in column stills, while the Dutch Genever is made in pot stills. Finally, pure water is added to bring the strength down to the European legal requirement, a minimum of 37.5% alcohol.
Flavor: Gin derives its main characteristic flavor from juniper berries. In addition to juniper berries, other botanicals may be used, including angelica root, anise, coriander, caraway seeds, lime, lemon and orange peel, licorice, calmus, cardamom, cassia bark, orris root, and bitter almonds. The use and proportion of any of these botanicals in the gin formula is left to the producer, and the character and quality of the gin will depend to a great extent on the skill of the distiller in formulating his recipe. The more discerning producers formulate their aromatic ingredients on the basis of the essential oil content in the raw materials to assure a greater degree of product uniformity.
I do NOT recommend Gin with Raviolli...stick with the Chianti
(ok, tried to spell it the correct way, but since it has f-a-g in the middle of the word it got kicked- but Murcer can put f***ing in his post. Go figure)

I like my cow medium now - NY Strip, with smashed potatoes. Caesar salad. Cold Bud.
Cow tipping? Still haven't heard if it exists or a myth?

Isn't the juniper berry used in making gin? If you like that kind of thing - what's the gin of choice?
Is Tangeray (sp?) considered good?

Dann singe ich ein Lied fuer Dich
Von 99 Luftballons
Auf ihrem Weg zum Horizont
Denkst Du vielleicht grad' an mich
Dann singe ich ein Lied fuer Dich
Von 99 Luftballons
Und dass sowas von sowas kommt
99 Luftballons
Auf ihrem Weg zum Horizont
Hielt man fuer UFOs aus dem All
Darum schickte ein General
Eine Fliegerstaffel hinterher
Alarm zu geben, wenn es so war
Dabei war da am Horizont
Nur 99 Luftballons
99 Duesenjaeger
Jeder war ein grosser Krieger
Hielten sich fuer Captain Kirk
Das gab ein grosses Feuerwerk
Die Nachbarn haben nichts gerafft
Und fuehlten sich gleich angemacht
Dabei schoss man am Horizont
Auf 99 Luftballons
99 Kriegsminister
Streichholz und Benzinkanister
Hielten sich fuer schlaue Leute
Witterten schon fette Beute
Riefen: Krieg und wollten Macht
Mann, wer haette das gedacht
Dass es einmal soweit kommt
Wegen 99 Luftballons
99 Jahre Krieg
Liessen keinen Platz fuer Sieger
Kriegsminister gibt es nicht mehr
Und auch keine Duesenflieger
Heute zieh ich meine Runden
Seh die Welt in Truemmern liegen
Hab' nen Luftballon gefunden
Denk' an Dich und lass' ihn fliegen
