A set-up line for "You fight like a cow"?

[Reshbj]

I know I haven't posted here in ages, but this is a matter of utmost importance, and you are the perfect forum to ask.

I need a setup line for "How appropriate. You fight like a cow".

It can't be a reference to anything, nor can it be culture-specific.

Thanks in advance.

[rakkoon]

"I'm going to bullrush you!"

[VioletRice]

No using the original from The Secret of Monkey Island?

[Reshbj]

No, because it just sounds odd to today's mainstream audience. I want it to be mildly clever and I do want to use the reference. That means no using the one from Scott Pilgrim either.

[KuReshtin]

Soldier/boxer/fighter to superior/coach: "I can't go on. I've injured my calf."
Reply: "How appropriate! Cause you fight like a cow!"

[Moonshadow]

I've got a beef with you?

[Eldan]

"I admire the natural grace and strength of Bovidae!"
"How appropriate! You fight like a cow!"

Okay, maybe not.

[Anxe]

"I'm pregnant."
"How appropriate. You fight like a cow."

[grimbold]

hey look a cow!
you know what that reminds me of?

[valadil]

"You gonna run away, chicken?"

That's right, I went barnyard for your setup line.

[KenderWizard]

"You fight like a cowboy!"
"How appropriate. You fight like a cow."

[Sipex]

hey look a cow!

A cow. Which you fight like.

[Asta Kask]

"Mooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

[Ravens_cry]

No using the original from The Secret of Monkey Island?
Yeah, that was my first thought. "You Fight Like a Dairy Farmer." indeed. The whole thing is a reference.
Other idea: "You are as soft as a milk maid."

[Mauve Shirt]

"You fight like your mother" maybe?

[Supagoof]

In Russia, Cow fights like you!

[Reshbj]

"You only managed to graze me. Which is appropriate; you fight like a cow."

[Kneenibble]

I am udderly confident in my sword.

[Mercenary Pen]

Of course, some people are just milking this for all its worth.

[chiasaur11]

I grazed you!

You think you're so cool and tough but I totally grazed you. Oh, Knives.

[VeisuItaTyhjyys]

"I'm pregnant."
"How appropriate. You fight like a cow."

Someday, I will say this to my wife.

Someday, I will die alone.

[Ranger Mattos]

I thought it was

"You fight like a milk maid!"
"How appropriate, you fight like a cow!"

Or somethin'.

[Trog]

"I made a Tauren tank."
"How appropriate. You fight like a cow."

[Heliomance]

Of course, some people are just milking this for all its worth.

A challenge has been set; it would be cow-ardly to refuse.

I say we just cheese it, better a live cow-ard then dead cud-have-been.

[MoonCat]

I'm gonna cream you! (which is a stupid school bully threat, responding with that would make it funny)

[golentan]

Some of these puns would raise blood curdling screams. Before we stampede for the exits, let's lasso it in a bit. We wouldn't want someone to say some bull just to score cheap points, now would we? We can barnstorm up some better jokes later.

Ow. Ow Ow.How could you do that to me?

[golentan]

Well, you're human, so I find it hard to care about your feelings.

That said, if it will make you feel better, you can tan my hide a little. Or fix yourself a nice brand-y.

[Moff Chumley]

A fellow pun hater? *hands MoonCat a spare d4*

*takes 1d4+3 pun damage*

...

What is it with the playground and puns, anyhow? :smallannoyed:

Okay, that's enough. For that...

You hate puns? Oh dairy, that is sad.
But c'mon, in a discussion about wordplay puns are pretty much guaranteed. Just steer clear of the thread if you've got a beef with our love of puns.

Puns are everywhere on the Internet. In fact, I think they are everywhere there are groups of people. I suspect wordplay is in our blood.

A tip.

Never play Marathon.

Level 19 will kill you.

[SDF]

"Honey, does this dress make me look fat?"

[Eldpollard]

These cow puns are udderly ridiculous.
EDIT: How about:
"You're terribull at fighting."
"How appropriate, you fight like a cow."

[Heliomance]

These cow puns are udderly ridiculous.


I refuse to be cowed by your derision!

[leakingpen]

Indeed, "I hate puns" is a stock-yard answer. Why people hate puns is a whole other cattle of fish though, and a horny dilemma. Personally, I think its a load of bull, and so called pun haters cud be the most pun loving amongst us, but enjoy complaining. I don't have a beef with this, but just some thoughts to chew over. and over. But if you can't stomach it...

[HalfTangible]

Retbull gives you wings! (a WoW pun from when they gave the tauren the paladin class... holy cow!)

"I am female, hear me roar!"

...

yeah, that's bad, i know :smallfrown:

Nonono! I love puns. But this just HURTS

[Thufir]

Returning to the OP's question, if it's intended as a Monkey Island reference, it might work just to anything, as a non-sequitur.
e.g.

:mitd: I will feast on your corpses lightly seasoned with nutmeg!
:elan: You fight like a cow!

[Winthur]

You must see a lot of bad puns on a dairy basis.
But if you just want to complain, then you're a wisent man. :smallfrown:
Now, I don't want to imply anything or threaten you, but my fists, they're made of steer.
People: I can understand if you are in a bad Mood, but how can an innocent pun send people Cowering in fear? :smallconfused:
I remind you that all of those puns are on the internet, and shutting off your computer immediately might be a very effective veal to protect you from the outrageous puns.
I'm really buffalo'd with your imminent dislike of puns.
I cud finish this rant right there, and I'll take a cow for the new revolution.

(I miss the thread about Hinjo's junk...)

[Moff Chumley]

Alright, the Hinjo's Junk thread was glorious. I'll admit to that. :smallbiggrin:

[Geno9999]

I got two that can be countered by "you fight like a cow:
-"You all are utterly useless!"
-"I'm going to EXP/Gold farm."

[golentan]

I didn't mean to herd anyone's feelings. If there was anything I cud do to make up for it, I would. I guess I'll just steer clear of such jokes from now on.

Those were terrible. I think you're pasture prime if those are the best you can field.

:smallamused: You're on. It's your move, no internet assistance for either of us. And that includes finding starting insults.

People fall to the ground when they hear me coming!

Also, Sea or land insults?

I've only played the original, so I may be at a disadvantage here :P

You're at a part advantage because I remember Sea insults best. But even so;

Even BEFORE they smell your breath?

So...

There are no tricks that can save you now!

[Heliomance]

...does downloading and playing Monkey Island again count as help from the internet?

...does downloading and playing Monkey Island again count as help from the internet?

Let's remove that rule, but keep a tally of times we need to check. That'll let me use sea insults! But if you can get to the swordfighting that fast...

Can you help me? I've been stuck at the safe puzzle for weeks. :smalltongue:

[Heliomance]

Sadly, I've never finished it. And the last time I tried was some years ago, so I'm somewhat rusty anyway :P

However, I THINK the correct response is: "That's only because you never learned to count to one!"

We should probably get back to what the OP asked, much of the puns people have posted would be hard to translate into an insult.

I think we need a proper Bragging Contest thread. I just wish I could think on my feet well enough to brag properly :(

What's a bragging contest thread?

[Lillith]

How about:

"This fight is utter bull****!"
'How appropriate, you fight like a cow.'

Sorry if anybody else already said this one. I didn't see it.

[Heliomance]

What's a bragging contest thread?

Bragging contests are games in which participants take it in turns to tell increasingly improbable stories about their exploits, wildly emphasising their prowess, presenting each story as the absolute gospel truth. You can't contradict anyone else's story, but you have to top it. Things like taking on armies with only a small parrot and a chip fork tend to come up.
