ABOUT ME for
SPORT MURPHYI am unpredictable and can be very dangerous. I appear slow and docile but really am quite agile and can run as fast as a horse; so don't try to out run me. My tail is often a handy warning flag. When it hangs down and is switching naturally, I’m usually unperturbed. If it extends out straight and droops at the end, I’m becoming mildly agitated. If the tail is sticking straight up, I am ready to charge and you should be somewhere else....but do not run.
I weigh about 2,000 lbs and have heavy horns and a large hump of muscle which supports my enormous head and thick skull. I have a thick mass of fur on my head and a heavy cape of fur even in summer. This enhances my size and protects me when fighting. I am especially ill-tempered and roar and battle during the breeding season from mid-July through August.
Interesting Facts: Depending on the air current, I may glide 150 feet or more from a height of 60 feet. I can turn easily at right angles while gliding and control the direction of my glide by tensing and turning my legs and body and flapping my tail. As I approach my landing, I flip my tail up and hold my body back to slow the glide down, giving me ample time to position my feet for grasping the tree trunk. I usually land face up and often run up the tree immediately after landing.
I change to red a couple of days after spawning, then I die. Since I am nearsighted I have to always use low frequency sound waves to find food in far away places. In the wild, fewer than one out of 1,000 of eggs I’ve laid live to spawning.
I can either be dry-cured or wet-cured. A dry-cured Sport Murphy has been rubbed in a mixture containing salt. This is followed by a period of drying and aging. A wet-cured Sport Murphy has been cured with a brine, either by immersion or injection. The division between wet and dry cure is not always hard-and-fast as some Sport Murphy curing methods begin wet but are followed by dry aging.
For audiences ranging from CEO’s, sales teams and line staff to families, I weave together facts, data, cartoons and stories for a unique message that enhances commitment to personal well-being, stress management, family time, positive interaction with coworkers and balance in our lives. My messages are always personal, interactive and entertaining whether they're delivered before 4000 in a convention center or 40 at a management retreat.
The demand for me suddenly increased with the advent of World War II, and continued to increase over the following decades. The only way I could keep up with the demand was to join Blogspot.
