Flying Cows.
While I certainly do not expect this thread to amass the 364 replies and 6447 views that the Flying Penguins thread did, my hope is to start another thread for some general silliness and good humor. Remember:
"Humor is just another defense against the Universe!" - Mel Brooks
...and so I begin with this Cow video:

Always liked cows. Don't know why.
My wife loved the song.
That is real cool.
A very Holstine vidio
By the way, if you ever have to cut across a cow field surrounded by electric fencing - don't straddle the fence (listen to the voice of experience here...).
When I was little, we would go to my Grandfather's farm.Originally Posted by Niclas
My Dad would grab the electric fence and hold my hand at the same time.
Now you know what is wrong with me.
Fence shocked vs. shell shocked.
Well it is the first Cowmaid I have ever seen Rich.

However, we have all heard of milkmaids:
I've found a more 'modern' version of the one above:However, we have all heard of milkmaids:
Seems like sending up the Dawn Patrol at Sparrow fart seem pretty tame now I know this.

Widdling on electric fences is also a VERY bad idea!
And painfull
There's a topic for a new poll... How many pilots here have ever "whiddled" on an electric fence?

Oh, now you're just giving me evil ideas for creatively wiring my Taser into the toilet when some idiot annoys me.

Just two days ago, on the front page, our local newspaper announced an attempt by Wakker Dier (Awake Animal), a foundation for the protection of animal rights, to put "Cow in the Meadow" on the World Heritage List. The link (in Dutch) is here: http://www.gelderlander.nl/voorpagin...fgoedlijst.ece and it looks sincere to me.
The gist of it is that currently it is cheaper, and easier on the environmental rules, for farmers to keep their cows indoor. This means an end to the traditional Dutch landscape with cows. So by putting this on the immaterial part of the World Heritage List (along with festivals and such, and e.g., French Quisine) putting cows in the meadow again can be subsidized.
So far it is only a proposal.
You were saying?
I am afraid my ability to read Dutch is pretty non-existant... any translators want to take a shot at that?

As F/O Kyte said "Holy Cow" does this mean Caged Cows & Battery Cows ?:eek2:
Are battery cows rechargeable these days?As F/O Kyte said "Holy Cow" does this mean Caged Cows & Battery Cows ?

The title is:- Cow in the meadow on the World Heritage list.
NIJMEGEN - Wakker Dier wants Dutch cows in the meadow in the Netherlands in the World Heritage List to be shown. On Friday,the action group, in an open letter on cows in the field,called Minister of Culture Zijlstra to sign . The call is supported by the Dutch Centre for Folk Culture.
SDirector Ineke Strouken said: "No more cows in the Dutch landscape was a huge impoverishment and also bad for the image of the Netherlands. The cow in the pasture would be a good Dutch candidate for the UNESCO heritage list."
Farmers keep their cows more often inside, because it is cheaper. Environmental rules make it more attractive for farmers sometimes to keep the cows in the barn. The Party for the Animals has been strongly committed strongly for a long time the grazing of cows.
The World Heritage List contains mostly buildings and nature. There is also a list of intangibles, which are important festivals and events. Then the cows in the field must be included shortly. Wakker Dier.

Thanks Rob! So if I were to move to the Netherlands I would be expected to remain in the house most of the time... I guess that is not really any different than here in the States (At least for this particular cow...)

But just think of this Ken. If you did move to der Nederlands, you would be in with a chance of being added to the World Heritage list.Thanks Rob!

Thanks Ken. I hope I do this right, because this one is for you!!!!
One for Ken.
The Arrogance of Authority
A DEA officer stopped at a ranch in Texas , and talked with an old rancher.
He told the rancher, "I need to inspect your ranch for illegally grown drugs."
The rancher said, "Okay , but don't go in that field over there.....", as he pointed out the location.
The DEA officer verbally exploded saying, "Mister, I have the authority of the Federal Government with me!"
Reaching into his rear pants pocket, he removed his badge and proudly displayed it to the rancher.
"See this badge?! This badge means I am allowed to go wherever I wish.... On any land!!
No questions asked or answers given!! Have I made myself clear...do you understand?!!"
The rancher nodded politely, apologized, and went about his chores.
A short time later, the old rancher heard loud screams, looked up, and saw the DEA officer running for his life, being chased by the rancher's big Santa Gertrudis bull......
With every step the bull was gaining ground on the officer, and it seemed likely that he'd sure enough get gored before he reached safety. The officer was clearly terrified.
The rancher threw down his tools, ran to the fence and yelled at the top of his lungs.....
(I just love this part....)
"Your badge, show him your BADGE........!!"
"Courage is the art of being the only one who knows you're scared to death."
LOL, that's a good one.

So a whole new meaning to barnstorming as far as Ken is concerned, then(I know Ken, another 10 yard penalty)
Oh dear what next free range sheep?

Is that a particular problem in N.Z. then Linz?

Thanks, F.O. Kyte. A machine translation no doubt, not bad. I have fixed it a bit:
Cow in the meadow on the World Heritage list.
NIJMEGEN - Wakker Dier wants Dutch cows in the meadow in the Netherlands to be added to the World Heritage List. On Friday,the action group called on Deputy Minister of Culture Zijlstra to apply for inclusion, in an open letter on cows in the field. The call is supported by the Dutch Centre for Folk Culture.
Director Ineke Strouken said: "No more cows in the Dutch landscape would be a huge impoverishment and also bad for the image of the Netherlands. The cow in the meadow would be a good Dutch candidate for the UNESCO heritage list."
Farmers keep their cows more often inside, because it is cheaper. Sometimes, environmental rules make it more attractive for farmers to keep the cows in the barn. For a long time already, the Party for the Animals has been committed strongly to the grazing of cows.
The World Heritage List contains mostly buildings and nature areas. There is also a list of intangibles, containing important festivals and events. The cows in the meadow should be included on this list according to Wakker Dier.
The Party for the Animals (Partij voor de Dieren) is a genuine political party with a seat in parliament, left-centre on most political issues, and of course championing animal rights. So Ken would not only have an opportunity to become World Heritage, he also would have influence in politics if he moved to The Netherlands! You are welcome, Ken!
I would not mind having influence on politics, as long as I did not actually have to be a politician!
Thanks Niek!

Some cows take the bus to go to the meadow...
For those going to Tripples, look out for the cows on the tram going to the Meadowhall.

Now that's a girl that works with what she has. Good show.
That is what I need to get around town on! Only I think I would have to have a slightly larger breed of cow! ... and one of those XL heavy-duty pooper scoopers! Of course with the price of gasoline going up like it is , we may all be riding cows soon!

Birdy birdy in the sky dropped some white wash in my eye, I'm a big boy I won't cry, I'M just glad cows don't
Not half Darell. The flying pigs are bad enough. Did you see that picture which I posted of the little hangers that are being built for them in all the fields?

Ken. I don't expect you to Cow tower to this kind of joke.

Anyone have the Dubious pleasure of experincing a Cow Paddock in an open cockpit at 2000 ft on a hot humid day? You won't forget it, trust me! Wonder if methane can kill an engine? That could be a whole new performance consideration.
I can't say I have, and I can't say I wish to. Between the cows, pig farms, and the local paper plant in my area pumping out a sulfuric cloud every day, I experience quite enough odoriferous atmosphere each day.Anyone have the Dubious pleasure of experincing a Cow Paddock in an open cockpit at 2000 ft on a hot humid day?

What a load of paddocks
Nope, but I have done close order marching drill in such a place on a frosty February day. All well and good until it warmed up a little and the 'pies' began to thaw .....
