As long as no Russian farmers are allowed to attend, everything should be fine.

This is udderly unacceptable!
Posted by: Buckeye | July 11, 2006 at 09:57 AM
Veal see about this!

Butter they found out now. Think of the horror of finding out in a year.
I do want to know what they use the butter for at the end. Is there a big popcorn festival next?

"Holey cow"? Tell me he didn't say that on purpose.
Posted by: Guin | July 11, 2006 at 10:06 AM
Sorry Guin, but I think it was intentional.
If this is the only scandal that state has, they are better off.

how about the League of Justice...were they notified?

straw beat me to it, but if you had a Swiss Cheese cow, some Russian farmers might try to 'marry' depending on hole placement...

I'm still reeling and disoriented from the football non sequitur

Bet the cow is a maverick.
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | July 11, 2006 at 10:29 AM
if its a maverick, it will always come in #2 in state fairs...
poor heat joke

mooove over butter, its.... parkay.
Posted by: queensbee | July 11, 2006 at 10:43 AM
The original plan was to give children cowwy rides at the fair, but they stopped when the kids kept sliding off.
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | July 11, 2006 at 10:44 AM
Hmmmm... this looks rather interesting. I gotta check this out.

The other scandal happened, when it was discovered that patrons from the corn-on-the-cobb concession were sneaking over to the cow to get extra butter.
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | July 11, 2006 at 10:46 AM
After the corn-on-the-cob incident, the fair purchased a giant glass butter dish in which to display the buttery bovine.

Thanks for clarifying this, even though my stomach is now churning..Where are all my Buckeye State dairys ? Can't any of them make unsalted butter? Where's Woody Hayes when you need him!

*snork* @ sean

OMG!
next i'll find out that the butter in the famous IOWA St. Fair butter cow is from, if you'll excuse the expresion, Missouri
Posted by: rickh | July 11, 2006 at 11:55 AM
two butter-cows were walking down the street and one was assaulted...butter-cow.

"We would love to be able to get the butter from Ohio, but it just isn't produced here," she said.
Now there's a pat excuse.
Posted by: Ford79 | July 11, 2006 at 12:08 PM
This was actually educational for us! Now we know that we cannot make our cow sculpture out of salted butter!!!! who knew!!!!
LLBF - info you will need just in case you make a butter oosik for Dave.
Posted by: OkieDokie | July 11, 2006 at 12:13 PM
"Longhorn or not, fair general manager Virgil Strickler said he's sticking with butter for the sculpture."
Diverdowndoc...Like you, I'm lost in a sea of nonsequiturs.
I know about the Texas longhorns; I know there's longhorn cheese. Neither of those facts helps me at all. OMG---Maybe I'm humor-impaired?!
Posted by: Betsy | July 11, 2006 at 12:49 PM
Sean--just to clear things up, the article never said it was "clarified" butter.
Posted by: Betsi | July 11, 2006 at 12:51 PM
Betsy...there is help available Humor Impaired
Posted by: Chaz | July 11, 2006 at 12:57 PM
sorry...betsi
Posted by: Chaz (bigger than a squirrel) | July 11, 2006 at 12:58 PM
OkieDokie-Wouldn't he be surprised!
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | July 11, 2006 at 01:24 PM
Oh Marlon, you so sexy. I didn't know you were Russian.

*snorks* @ Insom and Ford
Posted by: CJrun | July 11, 2006 at 01:55 PM
now Chaz I was joking, who's humor impaired now?!
Posted by: Betsi | July 11, 2006 at 02:21 PM
The following was part of the the mission statement from Chaz's most interesting link:
To make available unique humor products that help the world to learn to lighten up.
Would "humor products" include whoopee cushions and rubber chickens? Not funny. Maybe I'm humor impaired.
A life-size unsalted butter cow...now that's funny.
Posted by: WoosterGirl | July 11, 2006 at 02:42 PM
Nope, nope...on careful reflection, I've decided that I'm NOT humor-impaired, but the victim of False Humor-Impairment Syndrome (FHIS), brought on by exposure to Writers Who Think They're Clever But They're (Not 'Their' or 'there') Not (WWTTCBTNTOTN).
I'm experiencing considerable pain and suffering as a result, as well as loss of status in the community. Fortunately, there are Remedies...*cue ominous PI music*
Posted by: Betsy | July 11, 2006 at 03:04 PM
I've been to see that cow in real life and it's freakin' awesome.

"Moo-vum--up! Moo-vum-out! Raw Hide!!
Keep those Mamas Moov-in, Moov-in and 'uh groov-in!
Raw Hide! Head um up! Head um out!
Head 'um North, but not South! Raw Hide!
Headin' fer O-Hi-O! Bottoms 'bout to die-o!

I'm making a giant butter statue of His Daveness. Anyone want to help?
*heads to the kitchen for more butter (un-salted)*
Posted by: muffles | July 11, 2006 at 06:47 PM
muffles,
Just exactly what is the "fat" content in the statue that you are making? WILL IT FLOAT?
