Woody Jackson is an artist who did (and does) cool (mainly cow) artwork. He is most famous for the Ben & Jerry's cows. Anyway, he used to have a little retail shop in Middlebury, Vermont called "Holy Cow!" I bought so many cow t-shirts from that place (so many that Woody himself actually signed a thank-you card to me at Christmastime). They are awesome: cows playing hockey and baseball, cows in the city, cows square dancing, cows laying near a big blue elm tree, cows with Christmas wreaths on their necks, Van Gogh's "Starry Night" with a herd of cows under the firmament, "Chairman Moo" which is the famous portrait of Mao-Tse Tung only with a holstein cow head, and the famous "Rubin's Cow," a solitary Holstein on a solid color shirt. Holy Cow! went out of business (Woody still does art) because of the high cost of shipping/printing.

Those t-shirts which were mostly white have yellowed or have stains on them. I can't wear them, and I could never buy them anywhere. I am going to take them to my seamstress some day and see if she can't take the designs and maybe cut them out and sew them onto new t-shirts or something.

No, I can never throw away my Woody Jackson t-shirts.

That is awesome, plus a Christmases Thank-you card. I keep things that mean a lot to me, sometimes way tooo much. Sometimes hubby gets mad, "can't you throw anything out"?. I'm the sentimental type. One of the first things he gave me was this Sea Shell jewelery box, (ugly). I still have it because he bought it with love some 30 years ago. I think I get it from my grandparents. Who knows!

You're a great guy and I am sorry that someone targeted you. People are so crazy sometimes but I am sure the comments will be removed swiftly. It's 2010 and people still are homophobic. Sheesh. I was stalked several times on and offline and it wasn't pretty. I hope this person is a "hit and run" commenter and will leave you alone now.

The 46 year old woman on the park bench was reading a book when the car took off from the stop sign burning rubber.

34 policemen were hurrying to get to their squad cars while others were whistling a familiar tv show tune.

There was 52 people packed in the restaurant and someone bumped me spilling the syrup and it was slowly running across the table.

Next: 34, policemen, whistling, hurrying

April, the older it is, the more comfortable it is! I even own a HUGE t-shirt my mom wore for pajamas when she was pregnant with my brother (20 years ago). The thing is so old, it's see-through, but it sure is comfy!

Isn't that the truth ! My mother would say you could see "hail mary" when something was so old that it was practically see through LOL. I say comfort trumps old and raggedy any day :)

I can't throw ANYTHING away, I am discovering. We are cleaning out the extra room where all my older stuff is and I go crazy every time my son tries to dump something. It is old but some is NEW.(Never used but sitting in that room for ages.) The stuff smells musty. But I can fix that. Ahhh. He threw away a pair of Harley boots and I went through the trash to get them back. I mean really. Harley boots? So they're old. They're MY Harley boots! I am desperately trying to clear myself of clutter but wow, everything means something. lol. I finally just left the room and let my kid toss what he felt was no good. I am almost panicking about it but it will never get done if I stay and watch my stuff go bye bye.

It was a crazy day with the children whining and the cats running all over the house while 14 letters had to be put in the mail before five pm.

Next: 52, syrup, running, slowly

A lady bought me a $150.00 Carhart that is nice but I have a british made jacket that the name has almost completely wore out of that I wear all the time. I will not get rid of it.
