December 26, 2004Wild Cowsi've been asked to do a little bit of hiking this off-week between christmas and new year's day and while i'm not sure if i'll make the trek, it did get me to thinking about our bovine friends. making me chuckle even more than the thoughts of that wild cow we named simon cowly was an ubersite post entitled badass australian cows -- a soon to be classic post if i've ever seen one. i find the story quite funny because i can distinctly recall back in the day when a number of us would travel over to blacksburg va to visit friends (we can call them that now) who decided to attend that other university. after consuming far too much in the way of beer and assorted alcohol we, too, ran off to do goofy if not downright stupid things. oh yes, the guys and gals of delta-killa-keg would actually go cow tipping. admittedly, more often than not everyone would hang out near the fence giving the infamous "you go, and then i'll go" line with little pushes and nudges trying to get the foolishness started. in hindsight, it had already started we just weren't sober enough to realize that. eventually somebody would make the first move and try to move the beasts. a cow would moo and everyone would be startled initially and then break out into a fit of snickering. everyone except the cow, which was more often than not simply annoyed as a few drunken kids bounce off it. before anybody asks -- yes, we did manage to knock over a cow. no, it wasn't nearly as funny as we thought it would be; however, i do recall we laughed our collective asses off the entire way back. not that we wouldn't have either way. p.s. despite partying with you guys -- the hoakies still suck! :-)
