In Nomine Revisited: Moo Thai.

I knew that there was something associated with Ronald, Prince of Cows, that I hadn’t put up yet! I knew it!  And here it is.

…Sorry about that.

Moo Thai – Google Docs

Moo Thai

Ronald, Prince of Cows, is a big believer in giving his precious bovine servants every advantage that he can think of — and, given the obsessive tendencies of your average Djinn Superior, he thinks of cows a lot.  A workable martial arts form was probably inevitable, all things considered.

What wasn’t considered was that a certain Archangel and a certain ethereal pantheon would decide that the idea should be considered on its own merits. Continue reading In Nomine Revisited: Moo Thai.

Tweet of the Day, :pointing: “Google Cow” edition.

Fun party trick: if you see a cow, and point at it while saying ‘Cow’ in just the right deadpan voice, people will automatically look to see the cow.  And once you’ve got them doing it, they’ll do it even when they’re in a completely ridiculous place to find a cow.  And it doesn’t matter if they know that you’re doing this to them.  An ex-girlfriend called the condition ‘bovilepsy,’ and I’ve spent half my life amusing myself with this particular game.

So… :pointing: Cow.

Story of the Day, …[pointing] Cow.

I got sent this via email, and I put it up on Twitter in the hopes that the picture of this truly large cow would come through, and lo! It did. So…

:pointing: Cow.

PS: Hey, I like big ‘vines and I cannot lie.

PPS: Yes, it’s actually a steer. Sue me.

German kid has riding cow.

That’s pretty much the story: German kid couldn’t have a horse, so she got herself a cow to ride.  She’s taught it to jump fences (or whatever they call them) and everything…

Sorry.  The concept of riding a cow has always had an unholy (snerk) fascination for me.  Did you know that they had a racing circuit for cows a while back?  – At least, that’s what the Weekly World News said, and it was the sort of story that was bizarre enough to be true.

PS: [pointing] Cow.

For some reason, if you point off in the distance and say, matter-of-factly, “Cow,” people always look.  No matter where you are: I’ve successfully done this trick while along the Seine.  An ex-girlfriend called this ‘bovilepsy.’

Dangerous Cows.

:pointing: Cow.

What? Oh, it’s an odd little neurological glitch that I’ve noticed (an ex-girlfriend christened it ‘bovilepsy’). If you stop suddenly, point somewhere at random, and matter-of-factly say “Cow” people will turn to look. You can do it anywhere, too. I don’t know why it works, but it does. Anyway, the New York Times has an article on dangerous cows. Apparently, they manage to kill about four Americans or so a year.

Personally, I think that we’re ahead on points.
