                      THE BIRTH OF THE COWS
           (in the words of Stephen L. Schultz, the Creator)

=  =  =  =  =  =  =  =  =  =  =  =  =  =  =  =  =  =  =  =  =  =  =  =  =  =

Now, as for how it all started.  Well, I think John Christensen, my old
roomate, was the first person to discover:      (__)
                                                (oo)
                                                 \/
looked like a cow's head.  He once transmitted it vie write to someone
else and has it say, "MOO".  I suppose it originated from (* *) which in
are implementation of PASCAL was begin and end comment.  And he just
added the rest of it.

Then, as I said earlier, our system had crashed, and I was sitting
around talking with a friend, Geordie Kleuber.  He was working on some
project or other and needed to know ANSI escape sequences.  As I had
just finished writing graphics primitives in MACRO-11 for a project
I was working on, I knew them cold.  So I demonstrated how to position
the cursor and how to turn attributes on and off.

I was doing this in local mode, and wanted something to draw, so I
drew one of John's "MOOs" as he called them.  Then, as I need more
attributes to turn on and off, I added the rest of the body.  Being
the corny person that I am, and seeing as how the Chernobyl incident
was current events at the time, I decided to make the entire cow blink.
Then I made the entire cow blink and bold.  Then I made the entire cow
blink, bold, and reverse video.  And I added captions underneath,
"Within 100 miles of Chernobyl"  "Within 10 miles of Chernobyl"  and
"Within 1 mile of Chernobyl."

Geordie thought it was hilarious.  And as we had a local newsgroup,
local.noise (now csh.noise since the organization was Computer Science
House) for posting all sorts of ramblings.  I decided to make an entire
posting out of the cows.  The house loved them, and so I continued to
make up more.

Meanwhile, unbeknownst to me, Adam Stein, a house member who was cooping
at Xerox, took copies of them and posted them to rec.humor there.
Because at the time, CSH did not have a full news feed, and only got
incoming news, nothing went back out.  Adam one day forwarded me some
letters of people praising the cows.  I didn't know until the third or
fourth posting that they were going out.  Not that I minded.

It was funny.  For the next year or so, people would tell me how while
they were on coop in YourCity, USA they would see my cows posted on the
wall.  When I was at a DECUS once, someone recognized my name (I was
giving a talk on Imaging Science) as the creator of the cows and made
mention of it and about 20 people in the audience knew what he meant
when he spoke of the "net cows."

It was kind of neat.  Since then, they have taken on a life of their
own.  I had no idea how many new ones had been created.  Some of them
are so intricate, it amazes me someone took the time to do it.

Someone once suggested putting them into a book, but I said, "They
wouldn't make it in a book.  They only live on the net.  There they have
character.  In a book, they are just characters."  I'd much rather see
them live in the public domain anyways.  Especially since there have
been so many contributions from so many different people.  It really is
kind of neat.

Who'd of thunked it? :)

were sitting around a bar getting drunk discussing what exactly

Many people have been asking me why there are so many different kinds
of milk on the shelves.  Not just different brands, but different types,
like Whole or Low-Fat.  Well, I have decided to answer that question in
full.  Listed below are most of the major types of milk available on the
market today and with them are the type of cow that produces the milk.
Most American citizens don't even begin to realize all of the carefull
in-breeding that went into producing these strains of dairy cows so that
the average consumer would have a wide selection of milk to choose from.
In fact, most Americans are ignorant of tha fact that this many different
types of cows exist.  Most people beleive that all cows look alike.  Not
so, as we are soon to find out.

I warned you.

In an attempt to cash in on the cow craze that swept local.noise, Detroit
has decided to produce a complete line of auto-moo-biles.  Japan was quick
to follow suit and produced a few cows too, as were a couple of European
countries.  Below is a list of the auto-moo-biles reviewed by "Cow and
Track" magazine.

Before you read the list, I would like to point out that a friend of mine
recently purchased a particular brand of automobile and we have been
kidding her about the small size of this automobile.  It is intended to
needle this person, but if you wish to take offense and want to flame me
for degrading the car, then please, feel free to send all flames to:

These are some of the various models offered:

Although some people like to customize their cows:

Then there are the luxury cows:

                                               (__)

Many people have been asking what the most read magazine is amongst the
bulls in the pen.  Well the answer is an easy one, it's PLAYBULL.  But
not too many people know who own's PLAYBULL, so I thought it would be
nice to head out to the PLAYBULL Mansion and meet the founder and editor,
Hugh Heifer.

                                                - Steve Schultz
                                                  Head of Heifer Control

Here is Hugh Heifer himself, with a couple of his PLAYBULL Bunnies.
Of course, whenever Hugh is around the mansion, he always wears his
comfortable silk bathrobes.

Meanwhile, in the photo studios in the back of the mansion, we see next
issues centerfold posing in front of the camera.

         (__) O

   ^^    ^                      v___\____v/___/

Probably an RIT               Is this one beautiful
photo graduate                   bovine, or what?

Well, if you liked the way the centerfold looked, you may want some
biographical data:

Our system ( VAXIMG ) is currently down for FCO's, and so, having nothing
better to do ( not necessarily true, but nothing better that I want to do )
I decided to draw a few cows.  These cows are from the Corner Crew, so
watch out, they are loud and obnoxious at hockey games.
