Oddly enough, I just replayed the video to Matilde and she let out an ear-splitting loud bray when she heard her own voice.

I think it will be a long while before YouTube provides an option for #Earyore sign-language interpretation, with a donkey in the corner of the screen.

#donkeyoftheday 66:

1. Both ears half back: "Oh no, what does the Peasant want? Is it time for my medication?"

2. Right ear half forward, left ear half back: "If it's food I'll have it: if it's the medication, I'm ready to run."

(This lesson from Aitana is part of our regular series of #earyore donkey semaphore classes.)

I just looked at your picture again, as I'm focusing on #earyore language and it's a good example. But I read the picture description for the first time and wow! I never knew what a cotton field looks like!

@lizhanson

As the only entrant in the competition, I'd like to say that you put up a good fight and the loneliness of the long-distance #earyore quiz contestant is an inspiration to us all.

#Asstodon

Time to announce the winner of the first #Fribray quiz in the sub-hashtag #Earyore

Thanks to the great response, I have spent nearly ten seconds going through the entries to find the winner.

The runner up is nobody and there were no wrong answers. @lizhanson is the winner. A set of rat dentures will be heading her way.

Correct answer: C. "EO" was terrified and disoriented. At that point in the film he was stressed, lost, and had encountered bad people. (Haven't we all?)

@jotokla

No, no, no... 😜 You jumped the gun. That wasn't the quiz post: that was the *inspiration* for a quiz post! The quiz post is up now! Feel free to create more #earyore quiz posts!

Here's your first #Fribray *Donkey Ears Quiz* to celebrate our new #Asstodon sub-hashtag #earyore

Guess what the donkey ears are saying? The donkey "EO" from the new film of that name is saying:

a. Is there anything interesting to eat here?

b. I'm having a relaxing afternoon looking at clouds.

c. I am terrified and disoriented.

@jotokla

That's a super ear-semaphore follow up to your earlier list of donkey ears signals.

I think we need a new *donkey ears* hashtag for posts mentioning the linguistics of #equusasinus ear-semiology?

New hashtag: #earyore
