What the heck?
In the Southern US, and probably in several other places as well, we have a game called, “Cow Patty Bingo”. Here’s how it works. Using spray paint, someone makes a numbered grid on a small piece of fenced-in land. People buy numbers, and then sit back and wait to see which number the cow puts its pie on. In other words, people get really worked up about cow shit. Of course, cow shit is not the prize. The prize is usually something typical like an electronic device, tickets or money. I’m going to go with money.
So how do you play Cow Patty Bingo online? It’s pretty easy. Actually, it’s easy for both of us, since I don’t have to walk out into the steaming dishwasher that we call a climate around here with brain-cell-exploding spray paint. In fact, I’m going to do away with the whole grid/number bit all together. Actually, there won’t even be any cow shit. Why am I calling this contest Cow Patty Bingo? Well, that is just what happens when your creativity muse gets drunk and wakes you up at 3 am with “great ideas”. In other words, I don’t know.
How do I enter?
All you have to do is mention this contest with a link to this post on your site. If you mention one of your favorite articles as well, that will count as two entries. Simple. This contest will run until July 31st, at which point we will begin playing strip poker.
And the cow???
So where does the cow come in? I have found someone who is willing to be the cow. Introducing…the brave and beautiful Barb, from one of my favorite blogs, So The Thing Is…Blog.
I am a little pissed off at how good Barb looks in a cow costume. It makes me feel a little bit better that she has to put up with people who behave like “arrogant snot”. At least there is some justice in this world.
How do you choose the winner?
After you have linked to the contest, I will assign a random number to the trackback. I will give you an additional number if you decide to mention a post on this site. Then I will send our cash cow the numbers and she will choose one. The contest ends on July 31 at midnight in Texas.
The winner, in addition to getting the $50, will also enjoy a permanent spot of recognition on my Contest page.
What about runner-ups?
There will be five disgruntled runner-ups. These individuals will be recognized for their participation by being linked to in the Contest Winner!!!!! post.
This one is the easy contest. On August 1st, we are going to play strip poker!
Muchas gracias to Benjamin Cass for helping me with the photo!

A window hardware is available at any computer hardware shop but which window questions is still very confusing to decide as all of them provide great benefits to its users. For the convenience of users researchers decore window options and they also do window replacement to provide the consumers with the best options available.
