I know this is the "comments" section, but what can I say but "No Comment"?

Good you warned about the coffee! Otherwise I would now have a wet and unusable keyboard.

Posted by Bandit, New Mexico on October 21, 2008:

Udderly outstanding.

I hope she milks the publicity for all the juice she can.

You can say the kids were cowed.

Next stop, the moo-vies.

At least when she is in county, she has half of the bedtime "milk & cookies" well in hand.

Did she also leave a quart of milk on the porch?

There are always bulls around, except when you need one. (But ... always a steady supply of bull---- :^)

She missed the boat to Spain and the Running of the Bulls.

I should stop milking this cow...

Where was she during biology lessons? Even I know that's not where udders belong - and I'm not even a woman!

Fair enough, you *did* place the viewing tips warning about putting down my coffee before viewing.

But you placed the warning *after* the link. Of course, I didn't see the warning until after the coffee spew.

...And how much for the indecent exposure charge?

Posted by David, Delaware on October 21, 2008:

I guess she is embracing her resemblance to a cow by dressing like one, or is it utter envy?

Posted by Lucy in Texas on October 21, 2008:

Has she been tested for mad cow disease?

Posted by Ken, New York on October 21, 2008:

I have a picture of my daughter "milking" a friend in just such a cow suit. However, (1) it's cute when they're both 6 years old, and (2) it's not being spread on the 'net. (On the other hand, why they picked Kevin to wear the suit, I don't know.)

Sigh... Once again my home town has made us proud and been featured in This is True. I wonder, if a study was done, how high Middletown, Ohio would rank in most features based on population. The 2000 Census has Middletown at 51,605. I know of at least three times the city has been in This is True.

Why buy the cow when you can get the insanity for free?

Embrace your inner cow - or your outer pig.

Posted by Scott, Killeen, TX on October 22, 2008:

Are those things what the police often refer to as "identifying characteristics"??

And, I thought it wasn't kosher to publish unclothed picture of "those things". You might want to warn that children might suffer permanent psychological damage from looking at that second picture.

Moo Moo, I love you....I know that you're a cow, but anything will doooooo.

Apologies to Jonathon Brandmeier, songwriter.

Posted by Kingnormie, Rural, Arizona on October 22, 2008:

I Feel for her! Usually, I feel for a slim and petite, young woman but....

This be an Exception!

I Hope This Woman Understands that the "Black Cow" is a Classic Ice Cream Confection...!

I Thank Her! I would Love to Meet Her!

This is a case of getting tit for tat.

What were the booking charges? Drunk and Disudderly?

Posted by Rebecca, Connecticut on October 24, 2008:

The story wasn't even all that interesting as compared to some of the other ones... but that photo just takes the cake. It's akin to Jabba the Hutt in a cow suit... how attractive!

Yep, the story is a bit ordinary, but I had to run with it since the mug shots make it so extraordinary! -rc

Got Chocolate Milk?

Posted by Vince in San Antonio on October 24, 2008:

It appears she had a beef with someone. To err is human but to forgive is bovine.

She is not a nice person. I would steak my reputation on it.

Oh no that Heffa did-ent!!

Posted by Eric in Spokane on October 25, 2008:

First the story was amusing, then the photos were hilarious, and the comments have been icing on the cake. Thanks for a good laugh!

All I can say is, "cowabunga, baby!"

Posted by Oscar - The Netherlands on October 25, 2008:

The most ridiculous in the story is the punishment she got. She just had a sad drunk escapade (why laugh about such sadness?) and received a MONTH in jail? Maybe it is something American that I don't understand. It is way out of proportion.

If this was her first offense (the story doesn't tell) than it would have been best to stick her in jail for the night and parade her back to her house the next morning.

---

My source story didn't say whether it was her first offense or not. If forced to guess, I'd guess not, though. It also depends on what they mean by "chased children". Also, a sentence of a month in jail doesn't mean she'll spend a month in jail; it's fairly typical to let people out for "good behavior" and such, and I wouldn't be surprised if part of it was to give her time to go through an alcohol treatment program. All in all, it's hard to tell since the source story was so lacking in detail. Finally, her behavior is laughable. I see nothing wrong with laughing at ridiculous public behavior. -rc

I should've learned by now that when you give such a specific warning concerning beverages, I should take heed. Sadly, this time I failed to do so. Lesson learned, mess cleaned up and a new adage to live by: Always listen to Randy and its corollary: Just do as Randy says.

Your feline namesake, Lil' Randy, helped me by licking up some spilled coffee and taught me even more: Cats on caffeine are insane. He climbed the drapes and I'm going to let him stay up there until his buzz wears off. Not sure whether it was the caffeine or the photo that sent him around the bend.

She's definitely going to have to Mooooove out of town!

Cow suit halloween costume: $35.00.

One case of Budweiser: $30.00.

Having your mug shot posted on the internet: Priceless!

Posted by John - Florida on October 25, 2008:

Come on. She don't look all that bad--udders and all. If you want to see something that is both funny and really sad, check out Amy Winehouse's mug shot.

Winehouse's is nothing compared to Kumari Fulbright's. -rc

Posted by Mark, Alabama on October 25, 2008:

Thanks so much for posting a wonderful (public) record of this event. How funny. I AM surprised though that they shot her photo with the head portion of the outfit on.

Posted by David, British Columbia on October 25, 2008:

According to initial reports I read in the online newspapers, she apparently repeatedly yelled drunkenly at the police trying to catch and subdue her, "Suck my udders"!

I haven't seen anything since then about the yelling.

Posted by Dave - New York on October 25, 2008:

Cow? That's a pig!

Posted by Mark in Texas on October 26, 2008:

Did the cops check to make sure that "Michelle" is the correct name? Looks like "Michael" would be more appropriate - looks like a man to me.

Boy, you'd think a Texan would be able to tell a cow from a bull! It's a woman. -rc

It's Nursie from Blackadder II!

Posted by Rita, Ann Arbor, MI on October 26, 2008:

Thanks so much for the warning about not having liquids on board before viewing the photos! But please extend that warning to the comments. Red Rooibos tea wreaks just as much havoc as coffee on an unsuspecting keyboard. My husband is legally blind, so I read him the stories, and then the comments, if he's interested. He didn't see the guffaw coming as I read the comments, and had a little "accident". We all recovered, and will continue to enjoy your excellent newsletter.

Posted by Joseph, Atlanta on October 26, 2008:

Good lord, she even had the suit on backwards.

---

You know, I've deleted a bunch of comments just like this, since it's obvious that it's not backwards: top photo, her arms are behind her; bottom photo, her arms are behind her. Not to mention that the pattern matches exactly, so it's really clear that the udders are not on her back side. Yet the comments continue. OK: I'll let this one go through, but color me perplexed that so many are insisting it's wrong. But: why the heck do you think so?! -rc

Posted by Murray, Australia on October 26, 2008:

A month incarcerated will give her time to ruminate, and perhaps steer her straight.

And the punishment continues....

Posted by Kristi in Arizona on October 27, 2008:

I'm just as confused as you Randy. The first comment I read was the one about the suit being on backwards. I had to go back up and look at the photos. Then I had to read all the comments to see WHY??? anyone would think the suit was on backwards. That's just too funny! Kudos to the comment about the "drunk and disudderly conduct." That's my favorite!

Posted by Lloyd - Canada on October 27, 2008:

Randy, the suit is not backwards so much as upside down. (Her head should be in the suits rear-end to match the intelligence of the act)...
