Recently our local newspaper ran an article about an apparent meteorite sighting here in the Northwest. http://www.spokesmanreview.com/breaking/story.asp?ID=13738
Many people claimed to see a flash of light which experts felt came from a meteorite. I have hesitated to make public the knowledge I have but decided I should "come clean."
Any Gatherites who are new to this site since last November are most likely not familiar with my Flying Cow Theme Park. I'm going to give you a link to the story written about it by our chief publicist, William Dotani. Here is the link to his article.

I'm sorry that it was quite popular when it came out, so has over 100 comments (not a fun thing to open if you are on dial up. However, the story is quite worth your time to read! Why don't you just switch to cable right now? That will make it easier to read while at the same time bankrupting your pocketbook. If it's anything like my cable, it won't help much either. Sorry, Comcast.)
Anyway, I just wanted to let people know that it was NOT a meteorite but one of our flying cows practicing for the grand opening of the theme park this spring. We had been working on a spectacular opening scene where we launch cows into the stratosphere and then they return to earth via parachute. Bessie was making the first launch of the morning last week, when the rocket misfired and fell to earth in a blaze of glory. Fortunately, Bessie was wearing her usual fireproof suit so was unharmed. (No need for PETA to get upset.)
She is feeling a bit gun shy now, though, so we are reworking the grand opening ceremonies. In the meantime, don't go out looking for bits of the meteorite. You won't find any.

lol Marge :)
so there is no competition? like who can fly faster or anything?
I am NOT representing the cable company. I think they installed the slowest cable in town here on purpose.
Exactly WHAT the second cow is doing, Sheila, is top secret and I cannot tell you about it. If I did, then I would have to kill you and who would take care of your 35 humongous dogs and the porcupine?
love
Hugs
I guess the theme park can't open until the snows melt.
I understand the Air Force has said there is no such thing and that what people saw was the government shooting down a cloud.

I am lending you the amazing skills of this man who is my trusted advisor in all things related to livestock and business ventures in general..A brilliant planner and a man of few words,Boris.....I can see he already exudes unbridled optimism for your theme park..
oh BTW that fashionable chapeau he sports is a prototype that he thinks those attending your park should wear to prevent concussion from falling cow pies.
He believes if you build it into the cost of admission you will make a killing..retail $479.95.
say Turkey feathers ...
br>In case you doubt his prodigious skill in all things commerce,Boris wants you to know he hails from a teeny tiny country called UBet..shortened from UBetItStan. So small this country on a map the name didn't fit..if you are wondering the original name was derived from the favorite pastime and greatest export of the nation..games of chance and gambling..AND every first male born is named Stanley after the original king saw a Laurel and Hardy movie while touring the US pre WWII.
Anyway,,Boris defected because he was infected with a common fungus associated with road kill contact..that is a sport in UBet..but his was so bad..the fungus that is not his game..he got game that Boris..in more ways than one...and as he did not have access to any form of health care he smuggled himself out in a crate of chocolate covered ants bound for Reno,Nevada..
he was hoping the hot sun would cure the rash..it did for the most part...
so he made his way east and the rest is history.
Oh,BTW he was the former minister of internal affairs..yeah he got around....

Try this TURBO HOG..developed for the military but scrapped for scrapple...
turns on a dime and powered by slop and garbage....
what! don't you like my friend and business adviser ,Boris ? he is quite witty..I left him over at your coffee plce..he doesn't care for Guinness so your stash is safe...
the vodka is fair game..
By the time I'd gone through all the comments, I'd forgotten what your article was about. I had to go back and look again.
Wow I liked those images including Bessie in those first two comments by you. I laughed out loud and woke the neighbours up. ( they live 30 meters from my place...so it was some laugh).
Let me know when the opening ceremony is. I'd love to come over and meet you all and perhaps take a ride on a flying cow's back...if you'll kindly give me enough Dandelion wine...and stand by as a nurse.
Bill, I figured as our publicist you would be ready with many stories about the staff here.
I'm sorry I haven't been able to check in much for the last couple days. Having a few behind the scenes' problems requiring me to be away from the computer.
John Philipp, I'm glad you brought that up about the Air Force. They were trying to shoot down clouds all over the place and we have had a few close calls.
Carl, I see that you have a lot of good ideas. We will have to create a staff position for you.
Love that flying pig. I'm sure that will be a big hit and then can also provide ham sandwiches for the concessions stand managed by our chef, lynn.
Fred, we will look forward to your arrival. Let me know when you get into Seattle and I will send over a fleet of cows to accompany you out here to the theme park.
Purple is my favorite color, so Rita's cow will fit right in.
Have to run and deal with the latest crisis here on the home front. Hopefully, I may be able to be back here tonight.
If it is for coffee or at the theme park. Heck, sometimes we chase William just to see if we can pluck out his tail feathers. Lynn and Sheila H havent told me yet what they are up to with the porcupine. Come on Wilma we are friends tell me what you guys are up to.
Animal Glitters
Have a great gather day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

have a great day... love you all... Blessings... William, you are a hoot...
Girly Comments & Graphics
I don't know what's with me. I sleep so much that I barely have time to do anything. I slept 16 of the last 24 hours.
of cow PIES!! Truly I meant working through all those
articles and comments I finally got here if you need to
get hay or feed for those cows I can help you out with
that I see all those big rolls of hay in the fields all the
time! Even now in winter they are wrapped up in white
plastic they look like giant marshmallows!!
articles commenting oh well go figure. Hope you're not
working to much Wilma, take it easy. You have lots of time
to spend with the grandkids. Wish I could do that too. Ok,
I will get back to reading and commenting. love you
comments just what I needed right about now.
