Loose Cow Running Around Belmont

 cow belmont

I was sitting in my apartment when I looked out the window.  The only animals I usually see are a little colony of feral cats, but this time, I saw a much larger animal.   A LOOSE COW.. in the heart of Belmont.  I didn’t have a camera with me.  I called 911 and they were apparently trying to find this thing.

The brown and white cow was jogging (i.e. going pretty fast) down Nassau into the Carlton Bridge Condominius.

Did anyone else see it?

    I believe the cow was an actor from the animal porn flick they’re filming in Belmont. It’s entitled Brown Chicken, Brown Cow.

    I suppose that depends on who’s cutting the movie, and I haven’t heard who the film editor is.

    I loved that moovie. Soundtrack was by T-Bone Burnett. Used to have the dvd but I hocked it for a quarter when I was down on my luck. I herd it can be a pain in the rump to pawn things, but I’d tri that tip again just to get the stress off my shoulder.

    Another leading man possibility is Ferris Buller. I have no beef with him (or his sister Jennifer Graze), even though it’s said he’s a bit of a shorthorn.

  53. 05 Aug 2008 at 1:09 pmshenanigans said:

    But seriously, how do you a hit a cow? They’re huge and they don’t exactly dart into the road. Some jerkface was speeding or drinking or not paying attention.

  54. 05 Aug 2008 at 1:12 pmecho said:

    Yeah yeah, the cow died boo-hoo. What about the driver who was probably doing 70 and crashed head on into a 1,000+ pound animal. I hope he/she is ok.

  55. 05 Aug 2008 at 1:12 pmHappy Fun Ball said:

    @53 the cow probably didn’t have its flasher lights on. Might make it a bit hard to see when its standing in the road and you’re coming up on it at 70 MPH.

  56. 05 Aug 2008 at 1:18 pmshenanigans said:

    @54: I hope you get reincarnated as roadkill.

  57. 05 Aug 2008 at 1:19 pmshenanigans said:

    @55: If you’re paying attention, you should see a COW standing in the road. Plus, 70mph is speeding, isn’t it?

  58. 05 Aug 2008 at 1:20 pmecho said:

    @56: I hope neither you nor anyone you know ever crashes into a deer (or cow) going 70 mph at night.

  59. 05 Aug 2008 at 1:22 pmecho said:

    Yes 70 in a 65 is technically speeding, but it is the “acceptable” speeding that you never get pulled over for. Trust me, if they had been going 65, the outcome would have been exactly the same.

  60. 05 Aug 2008 at 1:30 pmshenanigans said:

    I have never hit any animals. I look where I’m going and don’t speed a lot. I’ve also been fortunate not to have any bears jump out in front of me.

  61. 05 Aug 2008 at 1:39 pmecho said:

    I’ve never hit an animal either, but I’ve seen what happens when a deer and a car collide at 70 mph. I’m glad I wasn’t in the passenger’s seat.

  62. 05 Aug 2008 at 1:43 pmshenanigans said:

    Well, duhhh, deer are small and jump in front of cars. Once again, let me ask, how do you not see a freaking COW in the road???

  63. 05 Aug 2008 at 1:59 pmecho said:

    I don’t know how you don’t see a cow. Can they even run?

  64. 05 Aug 2008 at 2:00 pmHappy Fun Ball said:

    @62 If it’s dark, you’re not going to see a cow in the middle of the interstate (hence the comment about flasher lights) in your headlights going 65 or 70 mph, esp. if you don’t have your high beams on. I almost hit a cow once that was standing in the middle of the road. I was driving (at the posted speed limit) on Rt. 221 in Floyd County. I came around a curve and the cow was just standing there. Let’s just say thank goodness for anti-lock breaks and some space between the road and the fence around the field beside it. Sometimes even if you see the cow, you don’t have enough time to stop/swerve/avoid hitting it.

  65. 05 Aug 2008 at 2:10 pmshenanigans said:

    Oh well, in that case, fuck the stupid cows.

    cows get hit. they run
    (not very fast)

    usually after someone else

    decided to tip one of the herd.

    @62 deers not that small. that’s why cars get banged up.

    given a choice between a cow and oncoming traffic, i’d hit the cow.

    @65 you gross.
