July 13, 2006 | Hot Hot Hot!

I have long been a fan of Chik-fil-A, ever since the first time I laid eyes on a cow wearing a sandwich board bearing the missive: EAT MOR CHIKIN.

That? Is brilliance.

So you know that I am thrilled to report (via the lovely Julie, who is so pretty) that tomorrow, July 14th, is the 2nd Annual Cow Appreciation Day at Chik-fil-A.

Get this: Dress like a cow—head to toe—and receive a free combo. (I think this is a reasonable retail practice for anyone, really. If you’re dressing like a cow, it just makes sense that people give you free stuff.) Don’t have full cow garb handy? That’s okay—wear any a “cow accessory” and receive a free entree. (Authenticity of “cow accessories” to be judged by individual stores’ managers. They recommend anything with cow spots in the FAQ.) (Yes, there’s a FAQ for Cow Appreciation Day.)

Awesome.

   If it weren’t 112 degrees here, I would TOTALLY get Charlie’s cow Haloween costume (a FLEECE SUIT!) out and take him to lunch.

   I may still do it. I mean, FREE CHICK FIL A! Come on! That’s gotta be worth a sweaty four-year-old.

   OMG, that is so funny.

   Sadly we don’t have a CHICK FIL A near us or I’d be there dragging my cows behind me.

   That is so funny! Now I’m trying to figure out how I can create 7 cow costumes before dinner tonight.

   Too bad I read this 15 minutes after I got home from chick fil a!
   I wouldn’t have dressed like a cow anyway, but I would have made my kids do the dirty work!

   [...] I read a pretty funny blog entry about Chik-fil-A offering free food to people who came in dressed as cows.. This immediatly takes me back to my high school days of the “fatt cow” obsessions. My girlfirends and I would call ourselves “the cows” and we were obsessed with cow print and all that fun stuff..It had noithing to do wit weight just with our weird obsession with cows.. Ah, the good old days! [...]
