In Praise of the Highland Cow

[Not Afraid]

I realize I am easily amused by most things in the animal kingdom, but I did not know about the Highland Cow. I like cows. I've stopped next to pastures in Switzerland to say Hi to the Swiss Cows. I've been know to talk to cows at state fairs. But, even the lovely Swiss cows don't hold a moo to these babies:

That's it. I'm moving to Scotland to become a Highland Cow farmer.

Maybe you could open up a cow barbershop/salon

[Not Afraid]

I hope you all like them, because you're going to be stuck with my cow for a while.

[RStar]

Who glued cow horns on that goat's head?

That looks as real as a Jackalope!

:D

[flippyshark]

For the first time, I feel bad for liking beef so very very much.

This could all be yours, Not Afraid. Not 20 miles from Casa 3894 ...

OOOO! Rock Star Cows!

Wish I had hair like that (again)!

And picking your nose with your own tongue is tre chic! Almost as much as getting someone else to do it for you.

A few more piercings and these babies could really take off!
Guernseys of Grunge!

Ooooh, let me know when their first CD comes out.










Though I guess, when it comes to cows, it's dangerous to request anything referred to as a compact disc.

It's the 45s that worry me!

[Snowflake]

Well, having been a barn fairy for a bunch of Friesian horses (Friesians poop a whole lot), I can't say I'd be up for mucking after these guys. But other than that, they are a handsome lot.

[Strangler Lewis]

That's not a very shaggy cow.

[Prudence]

Suddenly, the prospect of pasture land at the LoT commune seems more likely.

[Not Afraid]

Yes! Must have Highland Cows!

[mousepod]

NA - nice avatar, but I think you need a haircut.

[CoasterMatt]

Do Highland Cows play Highland Games?

[Not Afraid]

No, but they do highland dances wearing kilts. I'm sure of it.

[Cadaverous Pallor]

If there is to be some small pasture at the LoT commune, it should be far from our swanky digs. If the estate smells like poop, you can count me out.

That said - cute cows, NA. :)

[Not Afraid]

"Farmers air".

[€uroMeinke]

Yes! Must have Highland Cows!

UNless we get the freighter - then they'll be Highseas Cows

[Gemini Cricket]

These cows get high swank marks for having such cool hairdos.
;)

[bewitched]

We have a commune?

[Morrigoon]

The cow pasture can be out near the small, swanky hunting lodge which is used as a quiet getaway and has a full library and lovely wood paneling.

[Gemini Cricket]

We have a commune?
Cowmune.
:D

[bewitched]

Cowmune.
:D

Well that makes much more sense. :p

[JWBear]

Perhaps one of these (http://www.georgegoldsmith.com/houses/results.html) will suffice.

[BarTopDancer]

KITTYCOW!!

[JWBear]

Oh my! (http://www.profilehomes.com/0397_mansions-property-in-llanarth-wales_ForSale.htm) It's in Wales, not Scotland... But.... Oh my!

[innerSpaceman]

The interior decorating is attrocious ... but with a few more undred thousand pound, my love, we could fix 'er up right nicely.

I assume you mean the second one - with all the floral wallpaper? Yes, nasty. But, it has a tower! And that conservatory!

I'm rather smitten with this (http://www.profilehomes.com/0430_Georgian-property-farms-for-sale-wales_ForSale.htm) one.

We're still in the planning stages (http://www.loungeoftomorrow.com/LoT/showthread.php?t=4971)

[Ghoulish Delight]

Don't forget the winter home (http://www.jenniegreg.com/Gallery/main.php?cmd=image&var1=Pasadena+-+Jan+2007%2FIMGP4984.JPG&var2=0_0) conveniently located in Pasadena (we can use the freighter to transit between them).

Not for the Commune... That one's for me!

And a convenient place to burn that wallpaper!

Ah zee parfum des vaches blooming in the summer sun, wafting through the library windows. I'd move that cow pasture downwind, myself.

Just sayin'.

[JWBear]

Uh-oh... Somebody is obsessed!

[innerSpaceman]

Utterly obsessed.

[Gemini Cricket]

Utterly obsessed.
Udderly obsessed.

[RStar]

This thread is just a bunch of bull if you ask me.......

[Not Afraid]

Yeah, but doesn't it make you horny?

[Stan4dSteph]

You're just milking this for all it's worth.

[JWBear]

The puns are starting to get cheesy.

[bewitched]

Have you got a beef with this thread?

[CoasterMatt]

It needs more cowbell!

[RStar]

:D Thank you guys. I needed that!

I've had a pretty intense day. A good laugh is the best medicine, and I amuse easily.

Amooose easily??

[Prudence]

Aw, we just like to butter you up.

[RStar]

Ok, now you're milking it......

There was video on Good Morning America, so it might be on YouTube. I can't search from work though.

Sorry, I can't view YouTube from work and there isn't anything there that indicates it's about cows.

The first link is a Yahoo link, the video you referenced. Not criticizing, just pointing to the video. :)
