Sheep follow their frontman or rather, front-sheep. If he or she takes a wrong turn, they all go wrong.
Two days ago in a small town in Frankonia a group of sheep got separated from their main group. And the ewe in front decided to go shopping. She was the catalyst that let about 50 sheep into a discount supermarket. Ironically, the chain of markets operates with the slogan: “First, go to Penny!”

Lanose is the prompt that Brian teased us with. Who else but an Aussie would come up with a word like that? But be honest now: who of you knew that word? Since a variation of “wool” is actually our family’s surname I thought to go back to a simpsonized version of us, the core four. The son on the bottom right actually had the nickname “Wet, Wild and Wooly”. Very lanate and full of lanosity.
