We had two possibilities for our writing challenge this week and I am taking the easy way out and going with a rant. It may be a possibility that I have failed to do this challenge in a timely fashion because it is so hard to pick which subject to rant about. Let's face it - ranting, raving, and well... sheer lunacy sometimes seem to be part of my nature and well, my favorite part of the day. Of course I jest, I am quite literally perfect and do not suffer from lunacy of any kind.
The subject I have decided to rant about today is "Cow Tipping" and the people that believe that it's possible.
I have had the subject of "Cow Tipping" brought up to me quite often in my life. As soon as someone learns that you are from "the country" the first thing they want to know is, "did YOU enjoy Cow Tipping as a child?" So often have I had this argument about simply tipping a cow over that I often startle the most current questioner by flying into a sudden fit of outrage and storming off before the question is finished.
If you are not familiar with "Cow Tipping" I will give you a brief description.
It is widely believed that when you are in the farm lands (with nothing else better to do) you may sneak upon a cow in the dead of night. And whilst this poor creature sleeps, standing on her feet, you may let your plan unfold. With excitement and glee (and much to the cow's surprise) you my tip her over. Boo-ya and Holy Cow!
Let me clear. I do not believe in "Cow Tipping. This meaning that I don't really think one person can sneak up on a cow while they sleep and tip it over. I have many times walked through the Dairy in the middle of the night and saw many sleeping cows laying on the ground (this is a common sight as cows sleep on the ground). I have also tried many times to shove a cow in a direction I would like them to go with no positive results. Even with a running start to take that cow down, I am certain I would be the one finding themselves tipped.
I'm not so sure why I take this "Cow Tipping" so personally but apparently I do. It is the surest way to get a quick rise out of me in conversation. So listen, it would take some serious planning, friends and possibly some equipment to really go "Cow Tipping".
