It's just one of them things, I reckon.

It's obviously some sort of extraterrestrial death ray. Lightning indeed. People are so silly sometimes.

Sorry, that was just me casting Chain Lightning. Er, did any of the cows drop anything worthwhile? I didn't kill the Cow King, did I? Crap.

PETA will be investigating this.

Conclusion: "Damn you God, you killed Bessie!"

Quotes from the article were funny, but worst use of the "Spiffy" tag ever.

Who has A1?

RobW That is one disturbing drawing. Is this some kind of kid collectors card?

whoa.. jonr you never seen the TOPPS "Mars Attacks!" cards?

jonr if I'm not mistake that is the Mars Attacks! trading cards from the 1950's

Looks like darkmayo was faster. I couldn't remember if they were Mars Invades or Mars Attacks.

If this had happened in Wisconsin - the flags would be at half-mast.

mmmmmm Bar B Q cow

Wow, a dozen comments, and NOBODY has has made an asinine "Your dog wants" comment. Keep up the good work, people; cliches are the surest sign of a feeble mind.

"Look everyone, Bossy's glowing. Let's lick and find out how it tastes."

Cows: nature's quadruped dodo.

Cows are delicious.

Silly cows. Everybody knows it's dangerous to hang out under a tree during a thunderstorm.

A lightning bolt hitting 13 cows seems unlikely, but I was reading about particle beams the other day, apparently a particle beam is like a controlled lightning bolt...Cows are a convenient target, do the math

The particle beam itself is analogous to a natural phenomenon with which we are all familiar--the lightning bolt. The analogy is so close that particle-beam pulses are referred to as "bolts." The particles in a lightning bolt are electrons (an electric current) flowing from a negatively charged cloud to a positively charged cloud or section of the earth. While the electric field in lightning that accelerates the electrons is typically 500,000 volts per meter, these electron velocities are still less than that desired in a particle-beam weapon. But the number of electrons (electric current) in the lightning bolt is nominally much greater. In any case, the phenomenon and its destructive results are very much the same.

Actual conversation that occurred during a Spring Break trip to South Carolina, set in a little, off the beaten path truck stop:

Waitress: What'll I get ya, hon?
My friend: What's the Tuna-Que?
Waitress: (putting arm on his shoulder) Oh, it's reeeaaal good.
My friend: (Pause) Okay, I guess I'll have that.
Waitress: How about you?
Me: (Pause) I'll take the Cow-B-Que.
Waitress: Gooooood choice.

/reminiscing the joys of the Southland.

In other news, PETA pickets evil lightning-magnet trees.

Lightning is Murder!

Dinner is served.


/screw hogans :)

vjp: Obscure, but funny! Thanks for the Normal reference.

Reminds me of that X Files episode, D.P.O. -- Starring Giovanni Ribisi and a "not so famous" Jack Black.

You know what? I think it's time for a bar-b-que.

No man! Not the cows again..

Didn't this happen in an episode of the X-Files?

Food is icky, tables are sticky, waitress has a hickey, stay home if you're picky

??

/ stolen from later link re Zagat .... yes I am hanging my head in shame ....

mmmm... barbeque...

Does'nt this happen all the time. Cows seek shelter from the storm under a tree, lightning hits, one or more dead cows result. You'd think evolution would teach cows not to congregate under trees?

not all peta people are bad, i love a good steak
http://mtd.com/tasty/

The cows were all uninsured.

Let this be a lesson to all you bovines out there: what will happen to your families if something happens to you?

Your God wants steak.

[/had to be said]

I would have loved to been there to hear the fluctuating mooing...


mOooOooOOoOoOOoOOooOoooooooooo.......*flop*

I thought that cows lay down when there is danger of lightnening. This is obviously a conspiracy to cover up yet another alien bar-b-que...

PWNED!

All 13 of my cows are dead, but the good news is I just saved 15% on my car insurance by switching to Geico!

God wants steak.

Lightning bolt! Lightning bolt! Lightning bolt! Lightning bolt!

I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that cow bells are great conductors of electricity...

Was Lee Trevino with them?

Beef, It's whats for dinner.

and here I thought the Cow King was a triple immune, now i know better...thanks fark!
