The man was a genius, if you ask me; but sometimes a fool in a hurry stumbles down almost the same path, all unseeing.
I get e-mail flyers from One Kings Lane, an intere$ting enterprise that specializes in high quality small-lot antique/unique home furnishings and similar items, a business model based on both style and speed. Occasionaly, this leads to amusing results:
Nice folk art -- give me a jigsaw, a free afternoon, scrap wood and some milk paint, and I'll make you a half-dozen -- but it is manifestly not a cow.
Fluffy. White. Short-legged. Rudimentary tail. Pudgy-looking. Poor city kids, never seen gamboling lambs grow up to become stolid, silly sheep.

Too much bread and cheese.

LOL, nobody ever said they had to 'know' what they were talking about... :-)
Is that my cow?
It goes BAA.
That's not my cow.

That's one of those Southdown Cows, just prior to shearing.
I saw them on the weather channel once.
Like British "corn," are they?
A french "spanner".
Ce n'est pas une "spanner." (I'd do French quotes but it takes too much finagling to get the computer to not take it for html.)
That's a very important kind of cow... It's known as The Grand Moo-Bah.
It's not only not a spanner, it's not a picture of a spanner, it's a picture of a crude carving of a representation of a cow/sheep.
grand moo baaaa indeed.
Sorry, pretty sure it's a spanner. Got a live one in the yard right now and the guy who sold it to me said it's a spanner. AND IT POOPS.
Well, there you go, then.
As an aside, I had Moroccan spanner stew over couscous last night. Excellent, for spanner that is.
