Some Journey

Of course everyone knows that Holsteins never fly. Now Guernseys - that's another matter.

Dad's right. It's well documented, Willa.

Ooh, and on the subject of snails. . . We have new members of our family. I don't wanna make you jealous, I'm just sayin'.

See, the fact that you two are the first to comment supports my husband's argument that this would primarily be appreciated by the Williamsons. When I told him how disappointed I was that the choir members didn't get it, he said, "Well, you know, some people don't even know what a holstein is. Not everyone grew up with a dairy farm background and discusses cows the way your family does, you know."

Dad are Guernseys the brown ones?

Lynn, have you named the snails? And are they homeless?

I just reread my blog entry and realized that my comment won't make a lot of sense. I told this story at choir Wed night, and everybody just looked at me like I was crazy. I was like, "Get it??? It's not a FLYING cow. . .It's a HOLSTEIN cow!" Nothing.

**rolls eyes**
I'm just excited to find out that a person CAN actually go cow-tipping. . .being from Franklin County, myself, that's a pretty big thing, ya know. :-)

What kind of cow jumped over the moon? It had to have some kind of flying ability. My nursery rhyme books growing up did show a black and white cow, which my dad promises is, in fact a Holstein. I am all confused.

Au contraire, mine soeur. Well documented it's not. I'm afraid if you google "flying cow", nearly every image you find is a holstein. I suppose the rest of the world is just not ready for aeronautic bovine accuracy, Dad.

Hey, "The Cow Jumped Over the Moon" was in a fairy tale. The fact that they'd put a Holstein in the fairy tale implies that it's not true, thus documenting that Guernseys fly. The mistaken impression that it was a black and white cow was because they didn't have color TV back then. Guernseys are simply brown-colored Holsteins.

Now, I didn't say Holsteins CAN'T fly. They're simply too dignified to do so.

Ha!Ha! Black and White tv. You, of course, are referring to back when someone actually filmed the historical event of the original cow jumping over the moon? Not that we can verify it, since the gov't has since classified the cow as a UFO, and locked the video away in the Building 51 vault. In fact, I suspect that the very fact that the holstein has been long accepted by the general public as the cow which made that giant leap for all bovine kind is, in fact, due to the deliberate release of disinformation by the gov't in order to cover for the CIA employed guernseys. Who didn't exist.
