TW really likes cows. A lot. She wants a family cow. Or one of those miniature cows. Or both. I guess I should feel almost lucky that we only came home with Elvis Rat last weekend. I should but I don’t. It’s a rat! Anyway, about the cows. She likes them. She moos at them when we’re driving past their fields on the freeway. It’s weird but it’s that quirky kind of weird that makes her "TW" so we sort of like it that she likes cows.
I felt very lucky to have been falling asleep in a phone meeting last week because it caused me to do something productive like surf blogs with Blogmad or Blogclicker or Blogexplosion. Don’t ask me which because they’re all the same to me (sort of, but that’s a different blog). While I was surfing to stay awake I discovered The Cartoonist They Call Stik and I smiled.
I sent the link to TW on AIM and she smiled. I clicked through a bunch of the pages and giggled a lot. I subscribed. You never know when a cow cartoon might cheer up a disgruntled webmaster girlfriend. The very next day I saw a contest being offered. Easy too. You just had to answer a simple question about one of the cartoons. I knew the answer, even if it hadn’t been multiple choice. I entered. Never thought I would win but guess what – I won! I am lucky that way. I win cow tshirts and lube, lots and lots of lube. Some people win millions in a lottery. Not me, I’m not that kind of lucky. But I’m not complaining, not really. I felt lucky to win because I knew TW would smile at the shirt I won. And she did. It arrived today:
Go buy your own or buy one for me. Do you know which one I want? I bet you do…
You should also subscribe to the blog – there seem to be an awful lot of freebies given away there and if you don’t enter to win, then I’m going to have to enter and with my luck I’ll have an entire house full of cow shirts.

when we were kids, dad installed a bullhorn/novelty horn in the van and you could either play songs (like “Dixie”) or use the CB handset to play/make noises outside of the car…one of our favorite games was to moo at cows in the pastures on the way to my grandparent’s lakehouse…big fun – extra fun it it actually caught the cow’s attentions, TW needs one of those systems
The cartoon site is great :).
Anyway (something your probably know already…) Gary Larson is also fascinated by cows. All his albums have cow cartoons.
I love the flamincow! Thank you for leading me to it.
