I Heart Cow

As we were driving to the Modern Art Museum of Ft. Worth to see the (unusual) Ron Mueck exhibit, we saw this sign on the side of a truck:
It's a crappy picture, as pictures tend to be when one is barrelling through a tight intersection next to a large truck while whipping out an action cam from a ginormous purse/tote bag (I had to dig) while singing, "raspberry beret. I think I lo-o-o-ove her". I was greatly moved by this singular phrase, so much so that I knew I needed to share this universal truth with all of you, my fellow man. A statement like this could, after all, change the face of humanity! So I googled it to find a better picture. I typed in "ice cream makes you pretty" and found that the slogan comes from a place called Henry's Homemade Ice Cream. fine. yay. I'll go there someday..yadda yadda..thbpth - jog on.. There wasn't a better picture.

BUT I also googled the phrase as an image and was OVERJOYED to find this:

I know, right?! It IS awesome!! Instruction #6 is especially informative, and I can't wait to observe the 'realistic head bobbing action' (#7)! They are going to L.O.V.E. me at the dinner party* tonight when I pull these instructions out of my ginormous purse/tote bag as party favors. This will show my newly met friends that this girl, indeed, knows how to kick it! Ya-yuh!

*Of course I'll take the camera.. They're lucky that I am not also bringing a pinata and my "Abba Gold" cd

I don't happen to have a pinata, but I've certainly got "Abba Gold"
Doesn't every one?

If you change your mind,
I'm the first in line.
Baby I'm still free.
Take a chance on me...

I need a t-shirt with that slogan. I LOVE THAT SLOGAN.

And I'm very excited to see your "action toy cow." You know how to be the life of the party. That sounds sarcastic when I reread it, but I'm completely serious. :)

Oh, and I wouldn't sing that particular abba song in front of Jamie. It's one that his a cappella group used to sing and, though you think it would only be a moment's fun, he has the ability to torture you with a very detailed version for the entire rest of the night. You mess with the bull, you get the horns. (I'll buy you dessert tonight if you can tell me what '80s movie that last sentence is from.)

Can't wait to hear Jamie do the Abba.. No really. Can't. wait.
