We all hate AOL CDs and their sheer waste of resources.
We all understand cow farts to be a "bad thing".
Combining the two, we should be able to make chain-mail style coats for cows, that reflect light back into space and keep cows warm in winter and cool in summer.
The cows repay some of
their greenhouse gas debt, in the process.

We could also just eat more cows. [+] |
|
| |
Also saves the cows from the nasty effects of helicopter-borne LASER weapons. Especially useful in Montana, as I recall. |
|
| |
AOL's waste of resources upon CD is certainly far less than were the same information printed on paper. |
|
| |
Too true. Has anyone ever proposed an international CD recycling industry? |
|
| |
They are particularly difficult to recycle, as they are a layer of metal bonded to a polymer layer. There are billions of them dumped every year, and only so many Christmas light reflectors and kids' mobiles to be made. |

+ Just because armor made out of CDs
would be FUCKING COOL and I'm going
to put that shit in a short. This costume
will be the shiiiitt...! |
|
| |
Hmm. Now I just need a story...a silly
science fiction concept I think... |
|
| |
Do a bit of web research about black helicopters and maimed cattle. Make a political statement, at the same time, [Eugene]. |

It was when low flying aircraft began dropping like flies upon his farm that Hector realized his Cowmadillo experiments had gone horribly wrong. |
|
| |
Very "Far Side". Who's Hector? |
|
| |
No, but if you click on START your computer will be taken over by the Evil Cowbert virus. |
|
| |
Why just AOL? I'm sure lots of music artists who have had disappointing album sales would be interested in this as free advertising. |
|
| |
Well [UnaBubba] I was actually thinking
of covering people in CDs, not cows--I
live in the city. |
|
| |
Very classical, [wags]. And at the same time, very National Enquirer: "Hero of Mythical War Alive and Well and Armouring Cows in Montana" |
|
| |
It's the Trojans vs. the Black Helicopters! |
|
| |
Give the cows sunglasses so the reflection won't blind them. Cows wearing sunglasses and CDs--how totally cuuuuute!!! I totally wish I had a farrrrrmmm!!! I'd totally do thissss! :-) ;-D ;-P |

Achilles the bull hid deep in the thicket, biding his time. The farmer would come, the farmer would come. |
|
| |
"Waiter, there's a CD shard in my hamburger!" |
|
| |
"Play it, Sam, play it again." |
|
| |
//"Hero of Mythical War Alive and Well and Armouring Cows in Montana"// In America, protective gear is spelled "armor" while "Armour" is a famous meat-packing business. Given all that, "Armouring Cows" is a perfectly normal job. |
|

"what really happened to Elvis" |
|
| |
This is actually an existing Larson caption that might go well here |
|
| |
Achilles, son of Peleus, would have his revenge upon cursed Hector, prince of Priam's line, slayer of dear Patroclus. |
|
| |
Would that mournful Achilles had not feuded with mighty Agememnon. Would too that brave Patroclus had not taken up the gleaming armour and wrought havoc upon the cowering Trojans before the doomed hand of Hector brought darkness to those youthful eyes. |
|
| |
Achilles' war cry rang out across the fields, fields which had seen the flower of his nation's youth slaughtered mercilessly by their foes - countless friends he had lost, numberless like blades of grass (which, incidentally, was delicious).
"Mooooo!" |
|
| |
Not my fault you can't spell, [baconbrain]. |
|
| |
Then dying Hector of the glancing helm spake unto Achilles the fleet of foot: "Verily I know thee and behold thee as thou art, nor was I destined to persuade thee; truly thy heart is iron in thy breast. Take heed now lest I draw upon thee wrath of gods, in the day when Paris and Phoebus Apollo slay thee, for all thy valour, at the Skaian gate." |
|
| |
Love [moomintroll]'s anno. (The first one). Makes me wish anno's could be voted on. |
|
| |
Back to the idea, the use of reflectors could be useful, in hot, tropical areas, to reduce heat stress on cattle and horses. |
|
| |
UnaBubba: Wearing a coat of reflective CD's will not cool you down. We perspiring mammals need the ventilation more. Anyone doubting that can wrap their head in foil this summer to see the difference. (Added benefit for paranoids.) |

And so the farmer said to the inquiring tourist, "Well, that there Cow's name is Bessie. Oldest in the herd. Mostly covered in AOl 4.0" |
|
| |
"The one that came with Netscape 6.0? Is she slow to startup and shutdown?" |
