This is too weird... Duh
I knew I wouldn't be able to sleep last night worrying about the cow, so I said, "Is that your pasture of cows?"
He said, "One of them get out again?"

So, before I could stop myself, I said, "Yeah, one of them obviously went to Wal-Mart."


(Farmer with no sense of humor.) frown

I quickly explained that his cow was carrying a Wal-Mart bag...blah, blah, blah...and he says, "Well, where'd he get it?"

afgrey - "I don't know..." Duh

Farmer - "Does it belong to you?"

afgrey - "No"

Farmer - "What's in it?"

afgrey - "I don't know."

Farmer - "Well, why are you telling me about it?"

afgrey - "I don't know. I just thought it was strange."


Obviously, it must not have been.

Had that been my dad he would have laughed. Eating garbage isn't exactly safe for cows. I get those days now and again. growing up we had a vehicle that everytime I got in it I had a vision of myself going through the windsheild. Scared me enough I never drove it. We sold the pickup and the person who bought it wrecked it but wasn't hurt bad.
I usually chalk those days up to too much sleep or a severe lack of sleep.

Speaking of Wal-mart...are yours all the same blue and red?? They totally repainted ours now it is a tanish shade with the big blue roofing over just the doors. And the tan is 2 tone...the bottom half of the wall is darker than the top. THEN the inside got an overhaul also!!! The wall were all painted tan and they put CROWN MOLDING (of all things!!!!) 3/4 of the way up the walls!!! They put in linolium that looks like wood flooring where the clothes are and they totally redid all of the grocery isles....so now I can't find a blasted thing. Its just soo.....soo......STRANGE!!!

The only person I would go to WalMart for is Jesus. It is way to crowded here and now that it's a super store there are people with 3 months worth of groceries in every line. I go to Target or K-Mart.

Funny, when I saw that line, the song started playing in my head. Now I can't get it out...along with all those voices.

I've heard of it - never done it. I grew up in NY though - but if I grew up here, you can bet I'd have been into it. Anything to get in trouble laugh

'cow tipping' is a classic American Mid-Western pastime that involves clandestinely sneaking up on a sleeping cow and slamming your weight into it until it tips over and falls (yes, cows sleep standing up). This is particularly funny since cows are inherently clumsy and have a bad sense of balance, but it's also sad because many of the cows are injured when they fall over.

Well, cows sleep standing up....and normally in a field...and kids around here get bored, so you drive to the field at night and jump the fence and....well.....cow tipping

My husband did it a few times when he was younger.....I guess he didn't think about the cow getting hurt....when you're young you don't think of that stuff...And Cindy....My theory on the walmart bag in the cows mouth is as follows....

Seeing such an unusual occurence would affect people different ways....For example, since you are a self proclaimed non shopper you thought of it as an omen to stay away from walmart....If it were me I'd be thinking it was a sign to go and fill some walmart bags with as much junk as I could...LOL Spoken from a true shopaholic. On my checks I just ordered I had them put: My name is Laura and I'm a shopaholic.

Oh, and most men would probably have the same reaction as the farmer you talked to...Why? Because men don't even think about shopping--it's a non subject to most of them. Although my brother is a man(at least I'd hope so) and he enjoys going shopping.....he's a weird percentage of the male population.

But heck yes, it's weird to see a cow with a walmart bag in it's mouth......I'd probably have stopped and tried to get my picture taken with it.....LOL My buddy the walmart shopping cow.

My w-mart 5 miles away is a supercenter and it's not too bad except on the weekends....the one they just built 20 miles away in the mall is a supercenter too, but it's twice as big as our supercenter...it's like a mega supercenter....and it's absolute you know what going in there! I actually avoid that one myself.

And yes, our walmarts are red and blue! I'm in there so much I have to notice the colors...they should great me by name and tell me welcome home when I enter the doors....I like going there because I put up gardenhelper cards on the bulletin board & they go like hot cakes.

4Ruddy, that's great! What a mind. Cindy Lou, and I thought you were a woman of the world. Had to look it up. I say, if you're gonna sleep standing up you shouldn't be a heavy sleeper, as cows must be not to realize that a stranger is in the pasture with the intent on tipping them over.

I'll tell ya something stranger than the Wal-Mart cow that happened week before last when I went to the surgeon in Lexington.

I was driving the Avalanche, had the tunes cranked up...had no idea which CD's were in the changer, and hit #6. There was mix of songs I'd put on a CD for Andy when he went to Florida...everything from Pink Floyd to Ricky Skaggs. So, about the 3rd song was "Highway 40 Blues" and I was listening to it, and all of a sudden the traffic came to a standstill because of a wreck up in front of me. I turned around in the emergency place in the median and headed back north, figured I'd take the old road home.

So...while going through the town my brother lives in I stopped in at the music store he works at...and Ricky Skaggs was in there.

He was doing a concert there that night...in that town.

That was strange.
