  • admin: Welcome Mike Cohen to the team in the COW’s Business forum

    Posted by Kathlyn Lindeboom on August 17, 2007 at 11:05 pm

    Hello Everybody,

    I am happy to welcome Mike Cohen to the Creative COW team, as he has volunteered to be our newest graying “object of ridicule and scorn” here in the Business forum.

    In spite of this, he has promised to be gracious, offer salient and useful advice, but most importantly, to wear his Bessie t-shirt to really important meetings. “So that I can make them wonder if I am a member of a strange Hindu splinter cult that prefers only orange cows over assorted colors and breeds,” says Mike. With an attitude like that, there was no way that we could keep him out of this pasture.

    So please welcome Mike Cohen, a very gracious man whom we are pleased to welcome to the COW’s Business forum team.

    Kindest regards,

    Kathlyn Lindeboom
    The Mistress of Mmmooooo!

    Welcome to the group Mike. As the second newest member of the B&M team (not the baked beans BTW) I thought it only right that I should be the first to welcome you. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it here and we all look forward to getting to know you.

    BTW, I’m certain you’ll enjoy the upcoming sensitivity training for Cow leaders lead by Steve Wargo, leader of the Women’s Rights Forum. It should be most enlightening.

    All the best,
    David

    Welcome, Mike! We are glad you are here!

    By the way, I hope you are an Andrew Dice Clay fan. I hear he’s presenting at our next leader’s staff meeting. 😉

    (p.s. I checked with my wife before posting this and she said that it’s o.k.)

    [Timothy J. Allen] “p.s. I checked with my wife before posting this and she said that it’s o.k.”

    Yes, I checked with my wife and she said that it was okay for me to hang out with you guys, “…because you’re already corrupted, Ron,” she said.

    [Ron Lindeboom] “because you’re already corrupted, Ron,” she said.”

    Does that make me corrupted by association? Aw man! I thought I took enough Anti Corruption syrup this year. Darn!

    Sorry Mike, I guess that case of syrup I sent you this week as a forum warming gift aren’t going to work. Well, welcome to the forum anyway! Enjoy your stay! 🙂

    Welcome, Mike. (And please bring some of your common sense and polite decorum to what has in recent weeks at times become a free-for-all.)

    Welcome Mike! This is the forom I open first when entering the barnyard because I think it benefits me the most.

    [David Roth Weiss] “BTW, I’m certain you’ll enjoy the upcoming sensitivity training for Cow leaders lead by Steve Wargo, leader of the Women’s Rights Forum. It should be most enlightening.”

    This will be a snap. I’ll just have my wife, Jackie, dictate everything to me, as she already does. Isn’t it odd that I’m already taking orders and snide comments from a “Jackie”. Jacki in Atlanta could take some lessons from the badass girl from Detroit on how she handles her wimpy husband who is a well known biker from the 60s. Even though you can’t see the whip, you can see the evil man beater here: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2059698/

    Geez…get a little busy for a week or two and all manner of stuff is going on in here…

    Welcome Mike, as the second host to join this forum…Nick used that “free-for-all” line with me too… 🙂

    …and it’s still a damn free-for-all.

    (I think that having all of us with the grey hair in here is a conspiracy to make Tim Allen actually look younger…)

    [Tim Kolb] “all of us with the grey hair”

    Yes, but if you look at Mike’s photo, instead of grey hair he actually is grey.

    As to the last free-for-all, Tim, you missed that brawl. Just look out for that Wargo guy. I think he’s on some kind of drugs, getting a divorce, or it’s his “time of the month.” Maybe all three.

    Poor guy, he was sleeping on our doorstep the other morning. I had to shoo him away. Was mumbling something about his next “fix” but I can’t be sure………

    Mike, welcome to this forum, your insight and experience will be appreciated…wait, I AM Mike, can I welcome myself? Seemed like the thing to do.

    Thanks to everyone for the welcome messages, and the gifts. It seems my 42″ LCD TV was never delivered, could someone check the tracking number?

    Reports of my “grayness” are highly exaggerated! I do have some hair, it is just not visible from the front 🙂

    Glad to be here, thanks to Nick for the official invite, and to everyone else whose writing I have been reading for many moons.

    Mike Cohen
