Thanks. Damn you hypergirl for singing that damned cow song during history the other day.!!! We were supposed to be watching the stupid movie and all I could do was try to stifle rather loud giggles and bang my fists on the desk my forehead was on. Then again, Kalen’s crazy cow was funnier. Of all days for him to get a toy that made me laugh so hard I couldn’t breathe in my ill condition. Silly fucking cows, always making me laugh at them and their noxious fumes…

[slight hijack]Did you ever play cows when you were taking a long car ride? You count the cows on your side of the car. If you pass a graveyard on your side, you have to start over.[/slight hijack]

In high school my group of friends was known as the Demented Herd (we actually have a website, but it’s pretty much dead now). We would all wander collectively from locker to locker, until one of us observed, “We’re like a demented herd or something!” There was an immediate reply of unanimous mooing. We’ve loved cows ever since.

I’m surprised no one’s mentioned Earthworm Jim in all this; it’s completely saturated with cowy goodness. “Eat _cow!_” goes right up there with “Spooon!” for great battlecries.

I also think marmots are drop dead hilarious, even moreso than cows.

> 
> 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. \*\*

Why, oh why does that sound so familiar? I’m trying to think…is it a USY thing?

I just pity the first bull, it must have thought it was at the top of the food chain, those huge horns, muscles upon muscles, then it draws in a lungful of air, and lets out an almighty …, moo.

can just imagine him slinky away to a shady corner making sure no one saw what just happened.

physical challenge: say ‘gold fish’ twenty times and keep a straight face … I’m not sure if it’s the gold or the fish bit that cracks me
