Oh no! It appears that someone’s bovines have found their way onto The Compound. They are not mine, but I hear their owners are looking for names for them. Any suggestions? While you’re pondering that, if you’d like to give the cows a page number between 1 and 611, and another number between 1 and 25, they’ll find something in this book for you to be happy about. And maybe when they have real names, they’ll find their way to their real home.
Being cows, I’m going to safely assume they are female; therefore I propose Calliope and Bonnie.
And if they could stop chewing their cuds long enough to look up page 15 # 12, I would be eternally grateful.
Cud chewing ceased. Found: “fluorescent-bright food stores.” Cud chewing commenced.
How about Filet and Mignon?
and could I have p. 13, n. 24 please?
Ha! In spite of your cruel wit, they found you “two seats together at a crowded movie.”
445, 22 please.
And the cows say, “journalism.” There’s precious little of that in these tabloid times, so I agree that the real thing is something to be happy about!
I vote they be named Paris and Nicole.
NO happy for me, the book’s done so I’m good.
Good news!
Spot and Dot
..and if they could give me page 401 number 8, that would be super.
And the cows placidly give you “revelers in satin and taffeta.” (Reminds me of S&S Year of the Prom.)
Have Beulah and Agnes look up page 12 #7, please.
What they found is “making the dog taste-test your food.”
Just as long as you aren’t taste-testing the dog’s food.
Especially at The Compound. Unless you like your meat very, very, very rare. And then there are the beets.
Mame Dennis and Vera Charles, because “We Need A Little Christmas, Right This Very Minute.”
Page 383, #16 please.
How I loved that movie!( The original, not the execrable musical with…oh, I can’t type it. Not even Bea could make up for it.l
PATRICK: “Is the English lady sick, Auntie Mame?”
MAME: “She’s not English, darling…she’s from Pittsburgh.”
PATRICK: “She sounded English.”
MAME: “Well, when you’re from Pittsburgh, you have to do something.”
This very minute, the cows give you “Cream of Wheat cereal.”
(How sad our oatmeal eater might have been to get this one, but I’m sure it makes you happy, right? RIGHT?)
A friend recently sent me a recipe for Cream of Wheat pancakes. They were pretty good.
You can make them for breakfast when we all come to visit you.
I would, if only I had the room, what will all the fondue pots on the stove. (Don’t forget to pack your skewer!)
Ha! Touché.
LMAO 🙂 How about Lost & Found? or maybe Hook & Paint ? Can I please have Page # 313 # 3 .
Are you a hooker or a painter? (Hooker? I hardly know her!) Heh heh. The cows offer to you “secret rooms.”
(Both sets of names are making me laugh because I think you’re Kathy. If you’re not Kathy, take your spycams off The Compound grounds!)
Based on the numbers used, I’d put my money on Kathy. 🙂
We were both right. Heh.
car!
18 and 175
Re: car!
The cows have gone all zen and are giving you “I Ching predictions.”
518 no 2 please!
And for you, the bovines have found “schizocarps: the wing-like single seeds that fall from maple trees.” (That’ll come in handy if you ever need it for a crossword puzzle.)
Glad I got an explanation, otherwise I’d have thought you were swearing at me! 🙂
Daisy and Buttercup, obviously!!!
I’ve already seen my “cow of the day”, but this makes three!!
Nos 7 and 444 please . . . 🙂
You can never see too many cows, I always say. And these two have found “snappy comebacks to ‘shut up'” for you. Handy!
Clara and Maudette I would like page 412 number 13
Dash suggests Maggie Moo and Millie Milk page 2 number 2
Those cows have for you: “counting your blessings.” (Smart cows!) Since Dash’s was a repeat, they went to the second book and found “moderation” for him.
Moderation? Dash? thats a hoot
Aw, I haven’t given my poor Moo Sister the time of day in eons.
Can I have page 50, item # 1, please?
Oh, and Vanessa and Cleo for names. Good ol’ ‘Nessa. : )
Moo.
I’ve decided ‘Nessa is from Odessa.
And Cleo?
Your Moo Sister would probably be glad to pose for a photo for you to post. You know, not that I’m saying that I got spoiled in November by your daily LJ entries and am sad that there are none in December.
Where was I?
Oh, yes. The cows found “the restaurant pavilion” for you. I think there’s a Starbucks there. Just sayin’…
Your hint just dented my car, lady!
OMG, crack-up! We got home last night and I was all, “dammit, we forgot the cows!” I did not get to use them this evening. So sad. I am lost without them.
Page 400, number 20 please! 🙂
The cows love The Compound. Their only wish is that Sugar lived here, too.
However, they do want your happiness, so they give you “English farmhouse cookies.”
