Her behavior was udderly reprehensible.
I wonder if they're gonna try to milk more charges out of this incident.

Lieutenant Muterspaw
He knitted his brow
And said Michelle Allen
Was dressed as a cow.
She peed on a porch
And chased after kids
And nobody in town
Could explain what she did.
It's the damnedest thing ever
In North Verity;
There usually ain't cows
In the parkway.
And they usually ain't drunk
And threatening to fight
But I guess Michelle Allen
Was drinking that night.
She'll be spending a month
In the local hoosegow
And that's what you get
When you dress like a cow. posted by Astro Zombie at 3:38 PM on September 30, 2008 [14 favorites]

I never saw a Busted Cow,
I never hope to see one;
But I can tell you, anyhow,
I'd rather see than be one

Beautiful, youthful
Leaves of strange grass run from me.
Why can't I just graze? posted by swift at 4:25 PM on September 30, 2008
I am so very please that they include a picture with the article.
Also, as written, the sentence could be interpreted to mean that they were all in the costume during the chase, or the the children were all in a single costume as they were chased.
Either one is pretty awesome. posted by oddman at 4:25 PM on September 30, 2008

... Elmer left two twenties on the bar and snuck out the staff door by the restrooms. The other bulls told him Bessie was a wild date but he hadn't counted on the near riot that followed her second umbrella drink.
On the slow hike back to the old barn, Elmer had the time to take inventory of who he'd told about tonight's date. Not many. His paddock mates would put two and two together quickly, but they'd back him up if anybody started asking questions. All he'd really need is an alibi and some luck that Bessie's friends wouldn't get too curious... posted by ardgedee at 7:29 PM on September 30, 2008

Now, see, back in my day, we kids would dress up like cows and terrorize the girls. We didn't pee on their lawns or anything, though.

¡°Why?¡± asked Larry, in his practical way. "Sergeant," admonished the Lieutenant, "you mustn't use such language to your men." "Yes," accorded Shorty; "we'll git some rations from camp by this evenin'. Cap will look out for that. Meanwhile, I'll take out two or three o' the boys on a scout into the country, to see if we can't pick up something to eat." Marvor, however, didn't seem satisfied. "The masters always speak truth," he said. "Is this what you tell me?" MRS. B.: Why are they let, then? My song is short. I am near the dead. So Albert's letter remained unanswered¡ªCaro felt that Reuben was unjust. She had grown very critical of him lately, and a smarting dislike coloured her [Pg 337]judgments. After all, it was he who had driven everybody to whatever it was that had disgraced him. He was to blame for Robert's theft, for Albert's treachery, for Richard's base dependence on the Bardons, for George's death, for Benjamin's disappearance, for Tilly's marriage, for Rose's elopement¡ªit was a heavy load, but Caro put the whole of it on Reuben's shoulders, and added, moreover, the tragedy of her own warped life. He was a tyrant, who sucked his children's blood, and cursed them when they succeeded in breaking free. "Tell my lord," said Calverley, "I will attend him instantly." HoME²Ô¾®¿Õ·¬ºÅѸÀ×Á´½Ó
