An early COW vote call
Posted on July 3rd, 2008 – 1:55 PMBy Michael Rand
There will be no RandBallin’ tomorrow, for obvious reasons (none of them, we hope, involving a rat chewing through the tubes like earlier this week). But in the spirit of America, we’d like to open up the Commenter Of the Week voting right now. If you’ve never won before, consider that Kyle Lohse might be an all-star this year. So there’s hope for everyone. We’ll be back with results and, with any luck, some RandBites near the end of the day.

Clarence Swamptown made me laugh out loud twice this week, in both cases loud enough that colleagues remarked on it.
My nominee, however, is danonymous, for “If I wanted a fruity beer I’d go back to junior high and put jolly ranchers in Zima.” Ludicrous, yet believable.
I’m going with Clarence for his “tucking it under and running” comment, and for his caption of the Twins Statue of Liberty…
He also earned it with his delightful mix of thoughtful insight and 13 year old humor
“a rat chewing through the tubes”
Is that how they do a vasectomy?
My vote goes to roughkat for actually letting Rand put up a picutre of his lady friend.
Doesn’t he know that P3 is still out there?
I’m not sure if that was THE P3 posting the last day or so, but if it was I change my COW vote to him.
Don’t we all need to see how the other side lives?
Jama, thank you, thank you, but I’ve always been more comfortable being the “Desperado” as in “come down from those fences” being a hobo with an MS.
I could probably knock a home run as COW or maybe just leg out an infield hit, but as soon as I need to perform (except in that wondrous bodily fashion, of course) I find I want to write the best 500 word piece ever written as in “Four score…”
So, call it premature keyeboard anxiety, but maybe in the future. Actually, it’s because the COW in my mind is always a female. That’s no bull !! See… I just run on and on sometimes. Good staying power I guess 
I rescind my last comment.
Does this mean we’re abandoning the whole “e-mail Rand with supporting comments for our vote” thing? Cause I was way too lazy for that.
Can I vote for both Stu and jama, requiring a joint post from them? I’m thinking that could be epic.
“And here is where the Timberwolves and Tara Reid’s list of needs converge.”
In your heart, you know it’s Clarence Swamptown. COW.
I votee for…Pedro !!! Damn !!
vote, that is
How about something new and different with the COW. That’s 2 designated hitter COWS at one time going back and forth on one sports issue, alternating posts, giving their best shots. Then after 10 - 15 mins, have us plebians make our choice for the best COW to go forward. Cool ay ?
clarence swamptown does it daily for me.
I’ve been gone awhile, but I gotta like that clarence swamptown name at the very least. So, Clarence has my vote. The only other clarence I ever knew was on tv, paling with the Beaver, Clarence T. Rutherford. Eddie Haskell always pimped him, and ol’ Clarence should have thumped him but never did…
Mr. Paulos-
I’m sure you remember Clarence Williams, defensive lineman for the Packers in the 70’s.
Actually I spaced him off…8 years (I looked it up) as a defensive end for the Packers well before they started their pre-Favre slide. I space off many/most linemen probably because they seem so anonymously huge in the line, and they don’t score. Fat Williams, of course, is an exception not only for his marker buoy body but for his walking advertisement for early heart disease…
