But because the animals will be difficult to ship to the U.S., the embassy plans to sell the cows and use the funds to buy Masai jewelry, which will then be displayed at a Sept. 11 memorial in New York City.Posted by Pixy Misa at September 27, 2003 06:35 AMSome New Yorkers said they wanted the actual cows.
"The cows are the most amazing gift we received –- I mean, who else sent cows?" insisted Ed McCormick, a construction worker from the Bronx. "If those guys wanted us to have jewelry, they would have sent it. They wanted us to have cows. We should take the cows and raise them on a nice farm upstate and then send the cow puppies back to them someday."
The "cow puppy" concept might point up the reason New Yorkers would be better off with the beads, but no matter how it ends up, Manhattan residents are truly touched over the Masai gift.
LMAO. God, I love NY'ers.
What is the NYer view to the west? NYC, New Jersey, the Mississippi, the Rockies, California.

Posted by Tuning Spork at September 27, 2003 04:54 PMMoooooooooo-oo!
Moooooooooo-oo!
We come from the land of the lice and sloe
where the midnight scum and the hot babes blow...
The hammer of the Gods
will cattle-drive us unto new lands
We'll fight the fleas
sing and cry:
Munuvia, I am coming!
On we graze
with thrashing jaws
Our only goal will be the clip-held bras!
Sometimes one must comment even when one has nothing to say just to get the updates to update...
So who is going to photoshop the viking cow kittens?
Posted by Susie at September 28, 2003 05:16 PMWell, I know that Jennifer's a good photo-shopper!
Hmmm, take the white Viking Kitten, paint him with cow spots, and set in the boat heading for Munuvia (from Pixy's global image a while back), put it on a green field and voila! a flag!

(dag nab it! This thing still wont remember by info.)
Posted by Tuning Spork at September 28, 2003 06:18 PMHail Munuvia! our home and cyber-land
True patriot love in all thy sons command
With glowing hearts we see thy blog
In blog'spher strong and free
Hail Munuvia! we stand on guard for thee!
(I've been in Canada too long, eh?) I either have O Canada! or Proud to be an American stuck in my head.
