There’s a Doper with the one of the all-time best usernames in the history of usernames, and it’s **Imthecowgodmoo.** I always loved the little “moo” at the end. Just a little “moo.” Moo, moo, moo. What a happy little sound. Sigh. Now I’m in a much better mood. Or should I say “a much better moooooooood.” ---

Knock, knock. Who’s there? The interupting cow. The interupting co… MOO! ---

I must say. If it wasn’t for all the cows we passed, the entire state of Nebraska would have been misery to drive through on my way to California. I had to surpress the urge to stick my head out the window and yell “MOO!” every time we saw one. ---

Roses are red, violets are blue monkeys go “eek!” and cows go “moo” On the twelfth day of Christmas my true love gave to me… twelve red heifers eleven monkey butlers ten ladles ladling nine hip hopping hippos eight cow bells clanging seven flying feces six of those little cylinders that when you flip them upside down and turn them back up again they make that “moooo” sound (take a breath) fiiiiiiive gol-den caaaaaaalves four(thousand) dopey threads three pissed off mods two worthless poems and a cow made into ground chuck for me. ---

Eddie Izzard wrote a sitcom pilot called “Cows”, based in a world where cows were as intelligent as humans. _I_ thought it was funny, but it tanked nevertheless. And who could forget Phoebe’s song: “Oh the cow in the meadow goes moo, Oh the cow in the meadow goes moo, Then the farmer hits it in the head with a hammer And that’s how we get hamburger! Noooooooooow chickens!..” ---

There a professional theatre company here called “Mad Cow” Sadly, no picture logo, just the letters in a circle. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by screech-owl \* > \*\*There a professional theatre company here called “Mad Cow” > > Sadly, no picture logo, just the letters in a circle.\*\* At the end of The Daily Show on Comedy Central they have a Mad Cow productions logo. Not the same one you describe though. It goes “The cow says… MOO” from those really old toys that spun around and pointed to the different animals. ---

Copyright infringement on an animal sound? And my “Mad Cow” should actually read “Mad Cow Theatre”. They hand out lapel buttons - black, with “got theatre?” in lowercase white letters. ---

There is generally a good probability for extreme weirdness when you get me and **racinchikki** together. ---

Wow You guys have never gotten between a mother Gelbvieh and her calf have you? I’ll guarantee it is not so funny going through a fence. Outside of that and maybe having one step on your foot I like to just stand and watch them.🙂 🙂 Hi this is his daughter. I was just wondering. Have you ever had a cow drag you through a show ring? ---

When I was in high school, a youth group I was in had a cow as the Mascot. Bufa Cow. I’m serious. We’d put it on t-shirts and banners for conventions. We even had a song: Bufa Cow Bufa Cow Bufa yellow bellied cow as Hatikvah goes bufing along. For it’s Hi-Hi-He That’s the cow for me. la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la Bufa Cow HEY! We’d sing this whenever we could, wherever we were, as loud as possible. Ah memories. ---

While cows are _somewhat_ amusing, I feel that **ducks** are frickin’ hilarious! I moved to a new apartment on a lake last September, and the ducks have been cracking me up ever since. Have you ever watched a duck quack? They open their bill waaay open, even for little quiet quacks. Or watched a duck try to walk downhill? Man, I’m laughing right now as I’m picturing it in my head.I love ducks.
