same here. the white cow looks lumpy - i can tell front from back but that's it. as for the two together, maybe it's provocative because they're talking to each other?

I've met some very nice people in sonoma. never guessed they were into cows!

Hmmm... sounds to me like the place needs a different clientele... folks who see the rear of an animal and get sexually aroused, or fear doing so, are not who I would want to be serving, personally.

Maybe someone who has no idea how cows look when they're being...er...provocative? That hotel must be hiring some real city slickers! :lol:

I wonder if they think all the cows in fields along roadsides around the world stand facing the fence so as not to offend anyone.

someone could always write to them at http://www.thelodgeatsonoma.com/contactus.html and ask for some clarification. I'm stumped as well.

I could never find a bovine rear end sexually-endearing. My wife said that if I wanted to see a cow's arse I should look in the mirror. :(

Actually this occurred six years ago and you might be hard-pressed to find anyone still there who was around at the time.

Tell us something.: Been a fluter, citternist, and uilleann piper; committed now to the way of the harp.

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.

"Provocative"?!?!?

Idiocy. Madness. Buffoons.

Oh. Sorry. And to think I just chastised someone for ad hominem remarks, too. :wink:

That is a fine painting. Too bad for the fearful hallucinating prigs. Oops. There I go again.

Could be worse. In the world of cattle you could be castrating someone for making ad bovem remarks. :D

Hmph. "Provocative". And not so much as a calf was exposed.

Hardly surprising when there's so much at steak. I won't mince my words - just stop beefing about it, willya. People from the forequarters of the world are complainin' about ya. I simply won't skirt around the issue any longer. You won't catch me on the horns of a dilemma, nor will I post to this forum merely to fillet with nonsense. I've been ribbed around here once too often, so I'll make no bones about it - as far as I'm concerned, you can just burger off.
