BANGKOK, Thailand - Farmer Amphol Wangboon was hesitant to give up his beloved Thong Khaow for marriage until he found her the perfect match and a dowry he couldn't refuse: truckloads of fresh grass, hay, maize and $2,400.
So Thong Khaow and her new mate, Thong Kham — a pair of rare dwarf Brahman cattle — were married Sunday morning in a traditional Thai ceremony featuring a banquet for more than 2,000 human guests in central Sa Kaew province.
The animals wore silk outfits and jasmine garlands. Other beasts, including goats, also attended the wedding.
Amphol said Thong Kham's owner, Krachang Kanokprasert, offered him the cash and the feed dowry as part of the wedding festivities.
"I wasn't going to sell her — she's a special find — but Krachang said he would take care of her and wanted the couple for a display in front of his restaurant," Amphol said. "If he takes good care of her, I don't mind giving her to him."
OK, OK....I think you've all milked this subject dry.
Yep Yougurt all she has to give
Bullivia? For a honeymoon? If you're going to send a bovine pair from Thailand anywhere to Charolais, it'll be to Cowlifornia. Otherwise they'll have a beef with you.
And now the moment we've all been waiting for, the award for the Silliest Name in the News for 2005. The envelope, please. . . .
And the winner is . . .
IT'S A THAI!
For the honeymood, they went to Maine Anjou can't tell me different.
All I know is that one was wearing a Jersey that said "Moscow" and the other's said "Cattleonia."
I don't know about that, but as I understand it, upon their return, the fraidy-cat owner was cringing because they didn't like the trip.
That is, I heard the coward cowherd cowered.
Moan and groan. Didn't you used to write for the Rocky and Bullwinkle show?
Who's been spreading that bullshit? If I heifer get ahold of them...
