Outstanding In Her Field

Earlier today Susan and I were emailing about our excitement over the upcoming college football season. I asked her why Michigan's colour was called "maize" instead of "yellow" or "gold" and she emailed back that maybe they are "outstanding in their field". That brought to mind the extremely amusing Clover Stornetta Dairy billboards that appear along Highway 101 in Sonoma County, California. Every time we headed north, which was frequently, I would eagerly anticipate a new billboard and try to snap a photo of it. They are the masters of very punny Clo the Cow jokes, such as the apron see below, "At Clo's Range"...

...and their "Eclological" grocery sack (that's Clo the cow, ain't she cute?)....

...not to mention their trucks, "Moona Lisa, a Classic Pitcher."

I have a few photos of other billboards and trucks, but it would take an act of congress to scare them up out of my photo albums, especially since I am posting this from work, so I hope you check out the link below. I tried to right-click on the pictures, but unfortunately that's not an option. There will be a line of cartoon photos with different years. Click on the photos and the billboards will display. They are really cute.

Here's Clo at a parade, and I have photos of her at the Fairfax Festival parades too.
The only black eye the company got, which was incredibly STOOPID, was the time they did a "Jacques Closteau" billboard. The Cousteau family got wicked pissed off and sued the dairy for trademark infringement. I believe that they settled out of court and Clover Stornetta had to make a sizeable donation to the Cousteau Foundation or something. I just thought it was so lame that they took offense at the adorable parody, but that they sued a little, local, family-owned dairy over it was so unnecessary. But what can you expect from the freakin' French anyway. They have no sense of humour.
