I am a dorky hayfever suffering moron so will never enjoy a hay-ride. Are they real, do they still happen, am I missing out on anything great?

Also: other hay related comments please.

They are highly overrated. Imagine sitting on a lousy trailer with hay scratchin g you and stupid people singing dumb songs

Yes, but what about the cider and all the broderie anglaise blouses.

Anthony, have you been on one? Were there banjos and such? Did people kiss each other in the haystacks?

The one hayride I was on back in upstate New York was kinda fun. Pretty itchy afterwards, though.

oh, god. Everywhere I turn people are enjoying hay. If I dont go on a hay-ride soon I shall surely fall into a great depression.

I went to a Hoedown once in California. There was hayrides, banjos, and squaredanding.

I guess my dreary denounciation was duly dismissed

Sorry, I am determined to fixate on hay. I'm sure it's the answer dammit. Too much love, not enough hay.

― rainy, Wednesday, 10 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Hey! Enough about hay.

― Mike Hanle y, Wednesday, 10 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

MORE ABOUT HAY! I tell ya, it's what I crave.

Which musical is there a hayride in? Carousel? Calamity Jane? Seven Brides for Seven Brothers? All of these? I've never been on a hayride, but my dad set fire to a barn when he was a young'un.

Don't know about hayrides but there is a clambake in Carousel which I always thought sounded like a tremendous idea. Hay is very tickly and full of insects.

as a country boy i declare with authority, hay is overrated: it is super-prickly, full of small animal nightlife and allergens, and if you knock the bales down you have to pick therm up again or the farmer will set his dogs on you, and the farmer's wife will not make you bacon sandwidges and fuss over you

Hay bales are great for making fortresses, with tunnels and hidden rooms. Until they collapse and you're trapped for 3 hours.

Stopped doing it since most farmers now use the giant baling machines which aren't conducive to lego type construction (oh and becmg an adult).

becoming an a-dult does NOT preclude fort building. EVAH.

we have an orchard approx. a mile away from the ol' homestead. so there is always good stuff like cider and pumpkin pickin and apple pickin and apple cider cinnamon donuts and hay rides this time of year. in fact, i almost plowed right into a haycart fulla kids on sunday. oh, the humanity...

(hay itches, smells bad, and is very uncomfortable. definitely one of those, better left to memory things. unless your sweetie demands you go on one, and then you can overlook it.)

we once went to a party at Ricky T's country manor (aka his parents' house) and round the back was a big field with all hay bales in it and we sat on top of them and got stoned and drunk and looked at the stars. it was ace. even Mr T (ricky's dad) was there, but he didn't know what that funny cigarette that ricky was smoking was.

We use hay rides to get to work.

I walked out to the foothills of a nearby mountain over the weekend and saw many haybales. When they are all stacked up and over two stories high, they are fun to climb. I am not allergic to anything so they cause my respiratory system zero grief.

you can cook with hay

― Ed, Wednesday, 10 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

thats the spirit everyone! Yay for hay, it rules.

― rainy, Wednesday, 10 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I love hay and hay rides but I am not rural enough to have them often. I went for Girl Scouts a few years ago and we threw hay at each other and then settled down and sang songs from the Sound of Music because that was about all we knew. It was absolutely lovely. I want to go on another one. Rainy, you need to get a lot of medicine and then go.

― Maria, Wednesday, 10 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Alas the only medicine which is strong enough sends me into a deep slumber... I like the sound of your hayride styles though, Maria. Maybe synthentic hay...

And I'd also like to know what you can cook with hay... hay pudding? Sauteed hay?
