I started that way, but I wasn't sure if 'balk' was a word, and was too lazy to look it up. ;o)

Re:

*snickers* It's frequently used in the books I'm reading right now.

Re:

I did, however, have to look up 'bale'. ;)

*grin* Bale is easy. It's a bundled up unit of goods made easier to move around by it having been bundled up. *has fed out waaaaay too many bales of hay* ;)

Re:

[insaint.livejournal.com]

Yep. But see, my brain had things confused... what I had in my head was 'hales of bay'. :)

Re:

Good to know it's all your fault!

Re:

Now see, even I've fed out at least one bale of hay, and I'm a city kid. ;)

Mm. I haven't. I once tried to feed some tree leaves to a ram when I was 7. Got my ass kicked by said ram... =)
