Overlook: Why Are Muck Boots Called Muck Boots?

Why Are Muck Boots Called Muck Boots?

QUESTION OF THE DAY:

Why are Muck Boots called Muck Boots?

I wouldn't know.

Neither would anyone who worked our corrals today... all seven of us were so outfitted in those nice tall black boots...

Surely it had nothing to do with the inches of liquified manure that was spread over the thick ice.

Or the snow that stood in soggy triumph outside of the corral.

Or the puddles of melted snow huddled in pockets.

Perhaps I should ask the bucket frozen solid in the pool of muck?

****

Muck Boots does not know who I am, nor do they care, nor have they paid me for this "promotion".
