the curious incident of the moo-cow

[lookingland]

i have taken a beating from the full moon this week.

moon: 1 ~ boots: 0

i am looking forward to going home with some oven pizza and taking a night off from class (to do contract work, but oh well).



last night i lay awake writing a story in my head called "The Curious Incident of the Moo-cow". james joyce meets mark haddon perhaps? i can prolly never make the story work. it relies too heavily on inventing something in an era in which it wasn't invented.

does anyone know how those moo-ing cow cans work? if you don't know what i am talking about, here's a picture of them. most of you younger whipper-snappers have prolly never seen one, but they were all the rage once upon a time. i figger the technology must be pretty simple. thoughts? disparagements?

I dunno how it works, but your post made me laugh :) I had a Clarabell the Cow toy when I was a kid that moo'd when I tipped her upside down. I loved it.

Sorry the moon is giving you grief. And sorry that sleep eluded you last night - sounds like you need some rest (and I vote for writing the story despite historical issues, cuz it sounds interesting!)

cows are hilarious! especially when they moo.

i will prolly write the story ~ and if it ends up being jettisoned, oh well. it'll be fun anyway.
