Shetland Cows
So in college my friends and I had a running joke that we were going to invent Shetland Cows. These cows would live in the window boxes of Eat ‘N’ park, and we would never have to wait for a waitress to bring us cream for our coffee ever again.
Well, the future is here.
That’s right, someone has gone and made our dream of Shetland Cows come true.
This means it is only a matter of time before our next crazy idea comes true: talking cows.
Imagine driving down the highway, yelling “MOO!” out the window at passing cows, and having the cow respond to you, “Moo, mother fucker, moo.”
I can hardly wait!

All right, let’s try this again, broken into two parts to avoid the silly WP spam filter.
Eat ‘N Park is another fine Morgantown institution borrowed from their betters in… Pittsburgh.
But in this case, why?
That’s like importing Hardee’s. Oh, wait…

Eat ‘N Park was a spin off of the Isaly’s deli chain, famous for two things: being the originators of “chip chopped ham”, and the Klondike Bar.

Why didn’t y’all import Primanti’s?

1) I actually worked at Eat’N'Park, and have to say they treat their employees pretty well. After a year you get vacations and health insurance, which is a very good thing.
And I wasn’t a waitress. Don’t have the temperament for it. I was a cook. All the fun and insanity without having to be nice to the customers.
2) A friend worked at that Hardee’s for less than a week. He quit after being told to pick a Hamburger patty up off the floor and put it back on the grill.
3) Restaurants that are open all night are perfect for a college town. I spent hours there studying when I was in college. (The waitresses loved us. We’d tip $5 for a cup of coffee, because we were holding up a table for a couple hours.) Anything else has a hard time getting hold. It’s basically pizza joints or higher end restuarants that manage against the chains. Not much else.

Hardees does have excellent fries though.

Oops. Moooooo. (motherfucker)

Moo! MOO! HAHAHAHAHA - MOO! MOO!

These are all restaurants that are unfamiliar to us westerners. Burgerville, anyone?
Can you imagine people who like designer housepets - miniature cows, to go with their potbellied pigs and miniature horses? I would not want to be their housekeeper. :O

I love the tiny cows!
Moo, motherfucker. Moo.

They’re just adorable. Until I think about all the Shetland cow poo.

…a cow that… will be a family pet for years before ending up in the freezer.
You know how some families tell the kids that their beloved pet “went to a farm” to live and chase rabbits…?
“Mom, where did Daisy go?”
“She went to a house where she gets to stand around all day eating grass. Now eat your meatloaf.”
