Yackety Yak

W00t! I just found out today that I have won Alan's "Winds of Change" contest. On January 17, Alan challenged his readers to come up with a environmentally safe way to deal with the global threat that is cow farts. Yes, you read right, cow farts. Apparently, methane gas will be our ultimate downfall as a planet. In his words:

"... environmentalism was at least partly to blame for global warming.... it seems that while carbon emissions are the prime cause of environmental damage to the atmosphere, a serious secondary cause is the emission of methane. ... We’re talking cow farts here. The environment is going to hell in a handbasket, and it’s all the fault of farting cows."

He then challenged his faithful readers to propose "... the most original use for bovine botty-burps you can think of. " And apparently, my cow fart proposal won. Mom would be so proud.

My prize is a one-of-a-kind (nearly) T-shirt from Kathmandu with five embroidered (YES! embroidered!) yaks with the legend, "Yak yak yak yak yak," beneath.

You can read Alan's full post and my brilliant, tour-de-force, award-winning plan to save the planet from the scourge that is cow farts here. Thanks, Alan!
