I want to make a pick for St. Patricks day using a cow, who is saying happy St. Patty's day and would like to incluce a "cow patty". My only Problem is: I really don't know what a cow patty looks like? I tried searching the web, but I either got porn or sites that show cow photos. My husband says they look like, apple fritters but different in color? I guess I should be embarrassed, as I live only about 5 miles from a city named "Vacaville!" LOL! but I can not remember or ever seeing a real "cow patty" If anyone could give me a reference or image of this, it would be greatly appreciated. (:

Waves to his quasi neighbor OK...not really that close...15 mi south of Sacramento here. Anyway...try this out. http://www.musicofsystems.com/Resources/990604019Patty.JPG (figured others might not really care to see one direct linked here. lol)

Try googling (image) for "cow dung" and you'll get some serious pictures.

You can also google "cowpie" for some results. Here's a "fun" one ... http://www.cowpieclocks.com/

Thank you, jwiest and ockham.....it appears my husband was right......it does look like a apple fritter colored different! LOL! @jwiest.........where are you located? You know that every-now and then, Carolly hosts a Poser party in Emeryville and if she does it this year.....it would be really great to meet you. (: I always hope to go...but with work and now grandbabies.....sometimes I just can't. (: I only hope she does it this year too.(:

LOL! I must have been posting when you did as I didn't see that until now! Yup, dkal.......that is definately a fun one........and being a "city girl" I didn't know that they call them "cowpies" LOL! Thanks for the info.

I once lost my beret in a cow field.
Tried on five before I found it again :)

Yeah, genny. I'm originally from the country and country folk do often call 'em "cowpies." When I was about 5 or so, and still struggling to speak correctly, I often would say mispronounce "cowboys" and it came out sounding like "cowpies." Really cracked up my folks and relatives. :-)

on the ground, or on your boots?..;) I've heard some even have 'cowpie bingo'..;)

As a boy, I used to visit my country cousins from time to time. There's no experience quite like walking across a cow pasture at night -- when it's pitch black outside.

I'm in Elk Grove. Hadn't heard about parties like that before, but then I'm pretty new here. Not sure I'd make it anytime soon with two little ones of my own, but you never know.

What's the cow been eating? And a big difference between dried out and "fresh."

Interestingly enough, you become very experienced in 3 pound hershy squirts when you go out cow tipping in the wee hours, not realizing that some genious,-(dad)- decided to put the bull in with the cows, and have to 'Forrest Gump' your butt through the pitch black pie field. Ah the good ol days lol.:)

This is to funny. Don't have cowpies here any more, just Road Apples. LOL. Never could figure what the fun in cow tipping was. Did lose a calf in a badger hole once. Found it 3 days later still alive. Had a bad kinked neck that never really straighten out. Turned into one mean bull, guess you'd be in a constent bad mood if your neck was that way.

When I think about, we did some pretty wierd stuff groing up. Like finding a cow in the winter that fell asleep on it's feet by a hill, we'd tip em over and ride them to the bottom. (Sometimes it ended up the other way around). Then there was the december pump jack rodeo...won't touch that with a 10 ft pole! :)

Don't make me play the deliverance sound track.

Thanks for all the replys everyone.....I got the information I was looking for and a few chuckles too!

Well, I was thinking about holding another Poser User's Party in the next few weeks, for some strange reason... totally, absolutely, completely unrelated to some imminent software relase. ;^) My garden is starting to bloom. Yup, that's the reason! I need to take a bulldozer to the living room, though... sigh... just barely got the Christmas stuff down. Carolly
