A war over a cow. We do hold bulls in high regard and if the ox can be a symbol of the new year then perhaps a cow is worth battling for.

Still, it is a cow. A war over a cow. What value do cows hold in your world?

Value meal?

Why are you asking about cow wars?

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

I read a book on Irish legend. Ah... The Tain. A war over a cow, although more than one cow was involved.

Who's fighting over a cow?

[tofuinthesky.livejournal.com]

I don't eat them?

[isabeansprout.livejournal.com]

...a cow?

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Ailill and Medb against... "Cuchualulain".

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Would you fight a war for one?

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Two cows. Donn Cuualignegan and Finnebnhach.

[filmzbyzach.livejournal.com]

So if only one of them was being fought over, what were the other ones there for?

[lovingmybamfgun.livejournal.com]

One word: hamburgers.

[adamantined]

You lost me. Who are these people?

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

I... don't know. It has to do with military finance.

[isabeansprout.livejournal.com]

Those are very elaborate names for cows.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Hamburgers? That meat and bread sandwich affair?

I don't like war so I wouldn't outright fight for one, but I'd argue for the rights of one. Of any animal, really. But I wouldn't kill a human to save a cow. That's trading one life for another.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Irish legends!

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

I think this cow was more a matter of balancing books.

[adamantined]

Why are they fighting over a cow? Are they hungry?

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

I didn't fabricate this in the least. It isn't my fault.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

No... I think the bull would supposedly bring riches to the kingdom.

[tofuinthesky.livejournal.com]

Like money books? They used the cow for money?

[lovingmybamfgun.livejournal.com]

That's the one.
