After last years close call with the City of Kissimmee almost losing its iconic cow head from the city logo, the WayneWho staff believes that we need to take some time on this national holiday to pay homage to those who grazed the way for us. The few head of cattle that are still considered residents of our community (that is not some veiled swipe at our local elections) deserve some honor and remembrance today, National Cow Appreciation Day.July 11, 2008 is set aside as a day for all in our nation, but especially Osceola County, to remember the members of the bovine community who against all odds, and sometimes jeering moos, fought to help settle this land. Cows, you see, were the cattle-ist that set man in search of more fertile lands and the promise of a better tomorrow. Cows and man worked together to push back the mongrel chicken hoards that at one time controlled and ravaged our great country. Central Florida was home to unique bovine and poultry wars as the "Cow-hunters" did everything they could to protect the herd from the wings and sharpened beaks of the animal that was once know as the "Winged Brush Rat", the chicken. This is why the cow is remembered in our city's logo and why there is no image of a chicken in its place.
To help us honor this Cow Appreciation Day, chicken harvester, Chick-fil-A is providing free meals and/or entrées to those who visit their stores dressed as a cow hero of their choice. The WayneWho staff has spent a good deal of time this week interviewing many bovine impersonators and have found them to take their role very serious. Some may just try to stick black construction paper on their white t-shirts, but the true honorees of the day will go much farther. Today is a day you don't want to try to rent a last minute cow suit, that is for sure.
Chick-fil-A is providing more information at their home website http://www.chick-fil-a.com/ or at their day specific website http://cowappreciationday.com/. The WayneWho staff would like to remind you to be safe and we hope you enjoy celebrating on this Cow Appreciation Day.

This is probably the most insane thing I have every read. Keep up the good work Wayne!
Thank you for the tip. Black construction paper worked just fine.
Anonymous said "This is probably the most insane thing I have every read" Are you forgetting fountains and all American cities?
This reminds me of some classic youtube.

Speaking of Cows, How about Horses.
See what is happening by reading below:
HORSE FOOD??
SO WENDELL MCKINNON, MR HONESTY AND TRUST, IS SENDING OUT POSTCARDS TO ALL SUPER VOTERS IN DIST 3 INVITING THEM TO A "FREE" BBQ AT HORSE WORLD IN POINCIANA. OK LET ME GUESS. HE'S TRYING TO BUY VOTES WITH A HORSE BURGER OR HORSE DOG? PLEASE. DON'T TALK TO HIM WITH HIS MOUTH FULL BECAUSE HE MAY MAKE MORE SENSE THAN WHEN ITS EMPTY. CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HIS QUARTERLY REPORT. WHO'S PAYING? AN "IN KIND" DONATION? C'MON FOLKS. HE'S DIRTY AND WANTS TO CONTINUE IN GOVT TO GIVE HIM SOMETHING TO DO AND HE WILL DO IT TO YOU.
ASK HIM QUESTIONS ON YOUR MIND AND THEN ASK FERENTINOS, VAN METER AND WHOEVER. SEE WHO HAS THE BETTER PLAN. BESIDES, LISTENING TO WENDELL IS ALWAYS FUN BECAUSE HE SPEAKS IN CONFUSING CIRCLES.
HAVE YOU RECEIVED NOTICE OF THE BUDGET WORKSHOP ON A WEDNESDAY MORNING? CALLED BY DURBIN? THE AVG CITIZEN CAN'T ATTEND BECAUSE HE'S WORKING. SOUNDS SHADY. OH YEAH. THERE GOING TO RAISE TAXES (MILLAGE) AGAIN WITH NO CITIZEN INPUT.
Cows with Guns.
I couldn't stop laughing.
So what if Wendell McKinnon is having a fund raiser at Horse World. They are nice people and that have a great location if you are running for that area. If Tony F. and Armando R. are so upset by this, maybe they should go out and ask to rent the place as well.
You shouldn't call Wendell dirty under an anonymous name. Wendell is a great guy who has done a lot for the city.
ASk about PERU????
Ask about the Sunshine laws and not tellinmg the truth in a sworn depossition! DIRTY!
