Oops...I take it that 'cow' is an insult in the oxen world ??! Not that I care about hurting YOUR feelings ( ;D ;D ;D - you know I love you!!) but Goddess forbid I should insult the boys!!!!
Tell them that I apologize most profusely, and that I shall bring them EXTRA carrots to make up for it! Or sugar lumps, do they like sugar lumps?
Chalk it up to a rather profound lack of knowledge in ox etiquette on my part. Had just about every other species of domestic animal on the planet in my life at one time or another, ( and no few UNdomestic ones, come to think of it!) but never a bovine. ( Note the clever avoidence of the word 'cow' there!) Hope I can be forgiven!
And you've got a point about Avaloch being a great place if we all fight over who can be nicer! Especially when it comes to the care and feeding/ watering of our cast. ( Sorry guys, don't mean to make you sound like puppies there. Puppies are WAY cuter...............) Seriously tho, having BEEN cast for a good number of years myself - Ivy and Kayenne as well - I fully understand just how long, hard and hot the days can be, and just how much any little gesture is appreciated.
Granted, we all do it because we love it, ( We goddess' don't get paid either) and it IS a blast, but in the end, it's still a LOT of work, so anything that makes it easier, or leaves you with a smile, well, it just serves to make the whole Faire that much better. I've got a lot of great memories of my years in cast, more laughter, more friendships formed, than I can count. Ditto for the independent years too! S'why all those drinks get handed out. Hopefully, it's doing a little, at least, to add to someone else's memories of good times. That, and the Goddess has bad knees, so it's a real pain trying to step over all those bodies lying prone in the streets from heat exaustion!!!! ( Can't you people go and keel over OFF the paths.......) ;D
To that end, all silliness aside ( not that I can be serious for too long here..it just hurts too much!) cots, water, bandaids, lemonade, etc., anything that keeps the cast up and improving has the ( OOOOOOOOOH!) official blessing of the Goddess!
( Which just basically means that I'll give you free lemonade!)
Oh, and to all you cast members out there who are feeling especially warm and fuzzy right now, thinking you're all loved and s**t, rest assured that you WILL pay for this down the road, starting with your first born daughters ( I'm a GoddESS!) and up to and including gas money - now THAT ought to terrify you - and the exclusive right to send you off on a moment's notice to beat a whiny little boy band to death for me! Be afraid.......................
So, OX-woman, hope you're happy now! And trust me, you're WAAAAAAY nicer that I am...you just don't know me very well yet! ( As I just said, be afraid, be VERY afraid!!!) Hee hee hee hee hee hee hee.......................................( Okay, so it sounds way more omminous in person!) ;D ;D ;D ;D
