What’s COW?

Ok, I’ve seen a couple of threads referring to you guys “also being on COW”.

I’ll bite, what’s COW?

Surely you guys aren’t hanging out on Calculus On the Web (are you? Check it out!) Or perhaps Cowtipping.com?

Where do I get a FL LOA? (Fedora Lounge List of Acronyms)

Hi,

I *just* figured this one out yesterday. I tried searching for 'COW' and got nothing. Too short an argument for the search engine, I suppose. So, I went to the back end of the hat forum and started reading backwards for COW references until I found it.

Oddly enough I hadn't thought about Club Obi-Wan for years, although it was a great Joke when Temple of Doom was first out! :)

I usually think of a lactating female bovine when I see COW, which is what I grew up dealing with - milking! lol

But, that made no sense at all when talking about hats! :p :p :p

Later!

Stan

This is an example of something that really belongs in a prominently placed FAQ - this same question spawns a new thread at least once a month. ("What is OFAS?" may come up even more often!)

LOA FAQ

Thanks now I feel edumacated.

I am well versed on Plutonium Space Demodulators, Buck Rogers Past-O-Scopes, Top Secret Shadow Decoder Rings and such.

Dr Strange is correct: If we're going to speak in Fedora Lounge code lets issue Hat Decoders or FAQs with LOAs.

I hated it when you guys used to say OFAS!!

Thanks, Fredthecat

Stan, Stetson is now making some cowboy hats from buffalo fur. They don't reveal whether they get that fur from the BULL or the COW. :D

I have one of those Buffalo hats. Thank goodness that I picked it up before they were all gone. Stetson has discontinued production of them since the lady who knew the answer to that very question passed away recently and management was left clueless.

BTW: OFAS = Order Fulfillment and Accounting System. Here is a link that explains most of what some one new needs to know.
