    heyy, where have you been?
  • leaflesstree
    that is true. i wonder if the black and white blobby cows are just lucky or if, like, farmers campaigned to make those the most popular cows to see anywhere. I wonder if the brown and black cows are jealous. Or maybe people watching those old cartoons were too stupid to figure out that it was a cow
  • WithoutAReason
    Haha. I think that the white cows with the black blobs look the best. Probably because it also screams cows to me too. If you really think about it from the time we were young, in cartoons or anything really, that's just how all cows were always portrayed.
  • leaflesstree
    yay now it's even less empty. of course, there's no substance. I shall now pose a question. What sort of cow do you think looks better? The brown cows, the black cows, or the white cows with black blobs? I like the white cows with black blobs best. They just scream cow to me.
  • WithoutAReason
    I fully second that comment. It does look stupid empty.
  • leaflesstree
    i'm only posting here because it looks dumb empty. go me.
