this holiday's geek alert ...

it is likely a very (VERY!) small pool of people who may find this even slightly amusing ... but i'm amused (kinda) so it's being posted.

it was NOT enough to get SOME halloween mileage out of THE aging cow costume. i needed/wanted to pull it out for the december holiday shindig. fortunately, co-worker matt was up for serving as the holiday methane generator

(nice strategically placed garland, eh?!)

below are some lyrics to jingle bells. it's a little mangled & a bit choppy ... but it was sung by a few folks during a holiday luncheon while matt danced (?) around to the lyrics. (and yes! i realize some of the lyrics don't rhyme like they are s'pose to. it's a silly-song-thing. pull the stick out ...)

to the tune of jingle bells
Oh - jingle bells, methane stinks
cow poop smells the worst
but did you know when cows ruminate
greenhouse gases are totally first

a mask won't work to catch cow burps
and use it as a fuel
so a bucket is used to catch cows poop
and burn it to meet air rules

walking in as a permittee
with an application to burn poop
we'll check it for B-A-C-T
then throw you for a loop (moo-moo-moo)

questions we will ask
and modeling you must pass
then permit limits will hold you to task
for violations - you don't want to amass

oh!!! ... jingle bells, methane stinks ...

(o.k. i gave myself 30-min to come up with lyrics - not including the commute into work via the bay bridge and a gnarly parking situation - however, trying to get begging people to croon?! ooof!)
