Mad Feste

I am maaaaad!!! Or am I????? So what do you think...

Actually, this is a "before and after" story. Like one of those you see every night on your TV... But those ones are about soap and, well, mainly some kinds of washing detergent. (Who said that TV commercials were perfect?)

Anyway, it's not a secret that my parents have a farm. So, obviously I'm a bit of a farm boy.

Our family depends on farming to earn our keep
We spend all of our days in the fields with sheep... (and cows)
We are people of the soil, of the sheave and crook
Not a remarkable family in anyone's book

I bet you already guessed that I'm one of those guys who prefers to milk his cows over the Internet instead of using the old fashioned ways. Yep, you've guessed right!! I'm one of those addicts. When my parents ask me what I'm doing I answer that I'm milking the cows. And this is a wonderful excuse... They just don't bother me with questions like: "Did you write your homework?" ;) (Just to mention that usually I'm not milking the cows alone. I do it with several other people... who are on other continents. We're chatting of course...)

So, one day, while milking my cows, I stumbled over Di's site. Needless to say that I went crazy. I was not able to believe that they are going to cast anyone different than Michael Crawford. I was so sad that day that I decided to milk our cows the old fashioned way. While I was milking my favourite cow, Milka (the Swiss chocolate is named after her), I told her all about it. I wish I had a camera to shoot her reaction. Honestly, I was not tickling her!!!!!!

I've tried in these flash movies to recreate her reaction. The movie on the left represents her normal state and the movie on the right - her state after hearing the news.... It's sad you know....

Why is it sad? Because the vet thought our cows had mad cow disease and they slau... I can't even pronounce the word anymore.... ;o((((((((((((

So what do you think? Am I mad? Or have I eaten something?..... {{Feste sighs and goes to the fridge for another bar of his favourite homemade mad chocolate... moooooooooooooo:o)))!!! }} ;)))

A note: the animation is based on a Word Document that I received in my e-mail some time ago. I have no idea who is its author because in the document it is not mentioned. And the mail was one of those chain mails which are almost impossible to trace back... You can download the document I received from here. I doubt it is even the original document... There would be some characters that probably won't be displayed correctly. That's because a part of the document is not in English...
