Actually, this should be listed under “Weird Earl’s,” but I don’t know who to info and how.
This is the webpage of a couple that actually wants to make cow racing a national pastime. Go to http://www.cowrace.com and see for yourself what I saw on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart last night (that’s how I got the addy). In fact, their press kit mentions being featured on national television, apparently oblivious to the fact that a channel called Comedy Central would want to take the piss out of cow racing!
Whaaa? What could be a better way to spend a weekend afternoon than sitting around a field all day just to watch a cow take a shit? Oh wait, I see what you mean…
Of course, if anyone wants to place bets on me as I walk around some port-o-johns for a couple hours to see which one I’ll do my business in, I’ll be more than glad to- I’ve got free time. I can see it now, “Pick the right Shitter and You’ll be a Winner!”
Cow racing? Hah! I fart in your general direction; we have had pig racing for years at the Alaska State Fair! And I grew up in Kansas where the cow chip toss was a frequent event that eventually turned into the International Cow Chip Toss Thingamajig, or something.
Hoping no simul-post hits, but the irony of Cowgod and the OP is sublime. Feel like you’re being followed, Cowgod? (“Yes! We have ammo! Whoosh–good distance!”)
Uh, Coldfire, if one spurs along an ostrich while wearing wooden clogs, giddy bursts of speed should not be unexpected. ::musing:: 225 meters/hectares/furlongs per hour in a Porsche Testosterone or whatever, and you’re suprised at ostrich speed?!
Oh, yeah. Back to the OP…is there any way this can be sent to Gary Larson?
There is no way cows are smarter than horses. I would like to read that. Growing up in a small farm town in Oklahoma, I can tell you COWS ARE STUPID! I suspect if horses were as stupid, your “Two All Beef Patties” would be “Two All Horse Meat Patties”. KnowWhatIMeanVern? …and once again, I get to post my favorite dumb cow joke…
Bill: Look at that bunch of cows!
Bob: Not bunch. Herd.
Bill: Heard of what?
Bob: Herd of cows.
Bill: Why sure I’ve heard of cows!
Bob: No. A cow herd!
Bill: Why would I care what a cow heard? I have no secrets from a cow!
I don’t know what part of Kansas you grew up in but I don’t know anyone who’s participated in a cow chip toss and I’ve never heard of an International Cow Chip Toss anywhere around here!! Where exactly does this take place? Is it like a pie toss… can I throw cow shit at someone who’s standing behind a cardboard cutout? That might be fun!
Sorry for the heretical comment, Coldy! I was flashing back on a past thread; something about the fastest people had ever driven, or the biggest thrill or something?
My rapidly fading memory thought you’d driven some umpteen-gazillion km/h in a…Ferrari? Something that sounded suspicously close to “testosterone”.
Comparing the suave European sophisticate doing the Bondian snazzy-car thing to the image of the same sophisticate yelling YEEEhaaww! on the back of an ostrich was too stunning to ignore.
Yes, my dear. It was a Ferrari Testarossa (which means “Redhead”, I shit you not :D), in race trim. The fastest recorded speed was 284 km/h. Testosterone DOES come into the equation at such speeds…
Oh, and I certainly wasn’t shouting “yeehaw” on that ostrich. I was too damn scared! Gimme a Ferrari, cow or bungee jump any day.
Boy, those three alternatives sure are a weird combo. Oh well.
