Cows grow in the mountains?

Locals speculate that recent thunderstorms may have spooked the animals.

I'd bet there was a lot of fog on the mountainside or visibility was really poor - then came a loud crack of thunder...and cow pizza.

They don't as much plunge, as plummet...

Fellows: Cows grow in the mountains?

If you fertilize 'em right.

Udderly bizarre.

Cows turn themselves inside-out all the time.

This could be the murder weapon:

The Monty Python Bovine Trebuchet.

/I spit in your general direction.

Fellows: Cows grow in the mountains?


Well, yeah, at least the Mountain Cows do.

// They're like Mountain Goats, except bigger and tastier.

Fellows: Cows grow in the mountains?

Unless they die young, yes.

will chin the biatch, if little red riding hood shows up with a bazooka and a bad attitude:



/bloody lovin' this, isn't he?

At what altitude do cows start growing in the mountains?

Was Mark Walberg involved? Was there a stiff breeze blowing? Was M. Night Shamalonadingdong directing?

That's one way to tenderize meat.

/ground beef!

Obviously distraught Ted Kennedy fans.

Suicide. Tasty tasty suicide.

I wonder if they enjoyed their weightless, windswept moment?

No need for Adolph's. Meat is pre-tenderized.

Charcoal gives a better flavour than propane.

cow tipping off the mountain, now thats something I can get into after a few beers...lol

Calcasieu: That's one way to tenderize meat.

Beat me by 3 minutes.

Should have waited to pee.

Having grown up in Montana, I've been around a lot of cows. They're among the dumbest creatures on the planet. They are generally skittish, but often calm and docile if you don't try to freak them out.

That being said, if they get into a panic they WILL jump off a farking cliff. Or they'll run so close to it that they're not paying attention to their footing. They're that stupid.

What Lauterbrunnen cows may look like.

Their stupidity is probably the main reason why we make them into Big Macs and Whoppers.

// Mmmmmm. I'm thinking Arby's

Cows don't know that they can't fly.

Googeling for that Milka cow..its color scheme reminded me of something.

I'll take A) Someone chasing them off the cliff, A La Disney's Lemmings video, or B)Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy for 500, alex.

A hedgehog was also killed.

Yep...cows are stupid, but 30 over a cliff in a week seems excessive. Cow tippers around the area? Or is Farmer John to lazy to go to the top of the mountain? They will thunder toward food. So maybe he leaves a couple of bales of alfalfa at the bottom of the cliff...If you make it, you eat. Maybe Farmer John has great insurance and is looking to moving into town.

I don't like Farmer John.

Next on Fox Sports ... Extreme Cow Tipping!

whatshisname: Udderly bizarre.

(shakes tiny fist at whatshisname)

"Cows are usually let loose by farmers at high altitudes in the Alps so they can graze."

Did you picture the same thing in your mind as I did?

NakedApe: Cows don't know that they can't fly.

As God as my witness, I thought cows could fly!

blacksho89: A hedgehog was also killed.

:)

Nevar forget

B-b-b-b-but "gravity" is just a theory, like "evolution" and "heliocentricism"!!1!

Two cow suicide stories in less than two weeks. I think the cows are on to us. Someone must have told them hamburger has no ham in it.
Change we can believe in.

Mad Cow Disease. They just couldn't take it anymore. MMMOOOOOOOOoooooooo*SPLAT*

This is nothing new cows are know for their suicidal tendencies. (new window)

/ Old but classic

I laughed so hard I it started to hurt.

/1 train ticket to hell

It's Raining Cows! Hallelujah! - It's Raining Cows! Amen!
I'm gonna go out to eat some plummeting beef
And get absolutely gut-sick obese!

It's Raining Cows! Hallelujah!
It's Raining Cows! Every Specimen!
Angus and herfords, brahmas and yaks
Exploding into thousands of snacks!

Pope Michael of Discordia: It may be the new statue they've erected...

That's exactly what I was thinking.

cc_rider: At what altitude do cows start growing in the mountains?

Slightly below the treeline. They do best in the transition zone between taiga and tundra.

Hey Mabel! Ain't no farkin human gonna eat me! Goodbye cruel world! Moooooooo!

I was walking in the Alps area of Appenzell/Jakobsbad yesterday in Switzerland. There are a lot of cows wondering around in the high country there. They were very docile and would allow you to walk right up to them and give them a scratch or a pet. They all had bells around their necks and when the breeze was blowing across the valley, it sounded like wind chimes from all the bells.
/my first experience walking in the Alps
//No cow tipping on this journey
///Seen no dead cows

Wanted for questioning :

A cat and a fiddle, a laughing dog, a fleeing dish and a spoon.

So, got to thinking after that post. With all those cow bells clanging around, that would make those 'splatting' a bunch of dead ringers of cow pie?

Just thinking out loud.

There is a mountain tree line.

Is there a mountain cow line?

So there is such a thing as wild cows.

I'd just like to point out that dead cows smell farking awful. I've done work for a CRM in a field next to two rock piles, both with a small heap of dead cows.

Just driving in made me want to vomit.

I disagree. Last time I was in Fuddrucker's, the piles of dead cow smelled quite tantalizing. Not everyone can be expected to have good taste, though.

I haven't been to a Fuddrucker's in years but if they've switched to grilling gooey 9-month-old meat scraped off rock piles I'm not sure I'll ever return. I don't eat animals that look like a 2-D version of their former selves.
