Mark's talk of people wearing promotional costumes for work made me think of an old post that I've decided to repost here.

So here it is, coming to you from March 19th, 2006:

Celebrating the man in a cow suit...

Yesterday while driving to the grocery store, Eddie and I spotted a guy wearing a cow suit in front of Squeakers Vegetarian Cafe. Next to him was a sign proclaiming the event to be "The Great Meat Off". Excited at the sight of someone wearing a bovine costume in the middle of the day, we promptly rolled down our windows and gave him a vigorous thumbs up while waiting at the traffic light.

Encouraged by our behavior, he began to articulate on the healthfulness of green tea: "You see I am a cow, and that is why I am drinking this green tea with lemongrass in it. It is much healthier for you than milk."

Later in the evening, we told one of our friends about the guy in the suit. He responded with the following: "I don't know why you guys were cheering him on. You two are some milk drinking, meat eating motherfuckers."

This is true. Honestly, we were just so delighted to see a guy in a cow suit. People should do it more often. Yay for cow suits!

Get your cow on!
