    Only three hours left in the auction for the Cowmobile and no one has bought it yet at the low, low price of $24,900.

    I'm shocked. Shocked, and very, very disappointed. ;)

    Well JIm, here's your chance. Canada needs a giant plastic cow.

    We actually have plastic mooses (meese?):

    From the Wikipedia article:

    "Moose in the City was a year 2000 project by the City of Toronto in which 326 life-sized moose sculptures were placed throughout the city and decorated by local artists."

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moose_in_the_City

    I couldn't make this stuff up even if I tried. :)

    BC went a bit off the wall a few years back with painted "Spirit Bears", they were everywhere. Some done nice and others were a WTF!? One as far as I know still exists in the front yard of a well off home here on the island.

    We visited a town, maybe Naples, Fl. that had lots of giant decorated pigs all over town.
    Gainesville, Fl had many decorated alligators one year. Sadly most of those things get destroyed by people with nothing else to do after they spend their welfair checks.

    Seattle also had bunches of pigs: an 'artic bus' pig, a 'Safeco Field' pig, complete with moving roof, etc.

    I didn't even see black X's on fannie's post.
    As for lobster, I agree, this is how they should look.

    Those New Hampshire cows look more like moose to me that someone has added horns to.

    Maybe New London got a good deal on used mooses from Toronto? :)
