Simon's Cow

[Tom Failur]

I was out the pub tonight and ended up at a friends house and spotted Simon's cow. The one he has as his avatar. Thought everyone else would want to see it. Sorry for the poor quality of the photos, was am drunk and they were done on my phone.

You'll see lots of them out there doing all kinds of things. They're provided by a company called Tucows. Tucows are the registrar for .com domains that the company I work for uses and they sent us some of these squishy cows.

Where I live the dairy industry is one of the primary sources of revenue. WE have incredibly lax epa standards, and the lobby does a real good job of finding work-arounds to entice even more companies/farms who are chased out of their home states to come here. Waste water is polluting our aquafers, what they haven't sucked dry that is. It's just an insane situation.

Back on topic, we have an annual event called  "Dairy Days" where the local dairymen gather to look at all of the new products being hawked. During the celebration they give away all sorts of things. Free cheese from the plants, milk, apparel, and toys. Squeezy cows are given away every year. I probably have at least two dozen around the house with various aftermarket paint jobs. Pirate cow, ninja cow, French-Canadian fur trapping cow, prehistoric cavecow, pr0n cow complete with his own fluffer cow, cowzilla, Mario LeMoooooo cow (dekes and scores five-hole on ya), et al.

Azuma would this company be by any chance, Cabot?

I have a cow just like it as well that I got from when I went to Vermont and visited one of their stores....

[azuma]

Afraid not, I'm in the South West. We do get some Cabot products in the market though. Most of the squeezey cows are given out by feed companies like Land O' Lakes Feed Company and such here.

Shartak needs cows.

Without cows, there is no milk.

Without milk, you cannot make proper Tea.

(Yes, I like a spot of milk in my Tea.  And a spot of sugar.  Hm. We need sugar cane on Shartak.)

[AlexanderRM]

Don't forget pigs, sheep, and chickens... oh yeah, and horses and donkeys... and anything else I'm missing...

[CyAdora]

we need lamas.  We already have a lama-god.

I second this notion.

Shartak doesn't need cows for milk. What do you think the goats are there for?

I want a squishy cow!
