That’s the hat I lost in the washing machine last week. How about turning up my socks, too.

If you guys haven’t gone to cowabduction.com and poked around a bit,

you’re missing out on some highly amusing stuff.

Make sure you “roll over” the cow on the top of the front page.

I bet they built it out of cardboard from plans advertised in a 1973 Johnson-Smith catalogue:

“Fool and amaze your friends! REAL flying saucer! Remote control! No batteries! Hovers and darts up in the sky.
Plans Only $1.95!

10 feet of SUPERstrong fishing line included!

(Not sold in Detroit or suburbs)

Yep, I thought of that too!

* The Iranians just keep stoking the fires of buffoonery.*

I was scared as hell the first time I watched that episode. I was a young country boy at the time.
