Meet the cow vid

hey i think we should add this video to the page. The preceding unsigned comment was added by Awesomesauce
While that video would fit if this page were about the cow prop, this article is about the cow weapon. Therefore, a "Weapon Demonstration" would be a much better fit. --Stevoisiak 23:41, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
Pictogram nope.png Nope Yeah, just leave the page the way it man. I'm gone for 2 months and THIS is what becomes of the wiki. Leave the joke as it is, don't add any video. User M-NINJA Signature.png 03:51, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

Vintage Cow?

I heard a rumor that a randomly-occurring in-game event involving the cow in 2fort will give you a secret achievement that gets you one. Supposedly, you have to stand near it for a certain amount of time as Heavy, then get Mad Milk'd by a Scout right as the cow moos, then punch the Scout to death within 20 seconds. Details are sketchy, this requires further research. Will-T 17:11, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
