You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

What do you suppose Voldemort's Patronus is? An Albanian?

Yeah, I know, snake, but come on! He's missing out!

I really wish I had access to my childhood photo album right now. There's a great picture of me, age 6, cowering in a corner as three dairy cows lean over and attempt to lick me. I am not afraid of cows, but neither do I dismiss them.

My view of cows lines up really well with Gary Larson's.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Yeah they're plotting something, those cows.

Tag away, bt!

One way that Gary Larson and I agree about cows: [link]

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Having grown up on a dairy farm, I really dislike cows. They're very stupid. And on rare occasions, dangerous.

I enjoy eating beef as a form of revenge.

tommyrot, yes! My great-grandfather was a dairy farmer, and my great-uncle worked on a dairy farm still when I was a kid. That's where the scary trapped-in-a-corner-by-cows picture came from.

I can't say that I dislike cows, really, but I'm often suspicious of them.

ETA: Which is why my Patronus wouldn't be a cow. Ahem. I'm on topic, really!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I, like David Boreanaz, fear the pecky fluttery vicious menace what is a chicken.

If your Patronus was a cow, it would be a very, very stupid Patronus.

Considering how I feel about ants my patronus may well be an anteater. But it's probably a rat.
