Parade of Cows (Bratislava style)

(Now that Blogger's got an auto-image-upload feature, I can torture you dialup types with extra-long download times. Hope the extra sparkle of this blog cancels out that disincentive to visit!)

Last year it was Prague, this summer it's Bratislava who has its own homegrown parade of cows. (Here in DC we've had "Party Animals" [donkeys and elephants] and Pandas. Hey -- why the hell not?) Following are the cows I managed to spot on my last night in Slovakia, last month.

WTF??!!? Is this a cow in drag, a lady of the evening being ridden by her freakishly deformed cow-john, or what? Some kinky Euro-thing, maybe. Someone enlighten this poor sheltered American.

I dunno if this was even part of the exhibit, or an unfortunate accident involving Bessie, fiberglas, white paint, and a cement truck.

Actual legal tender, or Monopoly money? Upon closer inspection, my guess was that it was mini color copies of money, of various national origins. Just think, in 2008, this cow will turn into all Euros.

I guess calling this one "Holy Cow" would've been too cliché...

A real disco heifer...

No, not "Ursula". Rusuľa. (???)
