I know I shouldn’t be laughing but, hey, it’s funny.
Charlottesville blogger Chris Makarsky was headed up to the Umphrey’s McGee show at the 9:30 on Thursday night when he ran into a little trouble in Madison County. (No, not a speed trap.) Chris writes:
i saw a big, black object about twenty feet in front of me. i slammed on the brakes and tried to swerve out of the way, but it was far too late — whatever i hit was crushed by my car.
once the camry came to a stop, i remember having enough time to think, “where the hell did that thing go?” that’s when it suddenly came crashing down on my car, completely destroying my windshield — at this point, i could clearly see it was a cow, which was now lying on my hood. i don’t quite remember what happened next, because then the cow was gone. and other than the sounds of cars passing, everything was eerily quiet.
You’ll have to read the rest to see how it ends.

haha — i get my very own blog on waldo’s site, and all i had to do was total my car. maybe i can get on the blogroll if i burn down my house :)
Hell yeah, that would do it. :)
It’s a seriously funny story, Chris. It goes from “oh, man, he hit something” to “oh, jeez, he hit a cow,” to “where’d the cow go?” to “the thing’s on fire?” My wife and I were in stitches, reading it last night.
