Have you ever seen a cow dance? Yes, you heard me. A dancing
cow. This page features a video clip that shows my brother Tom
Elliot, who runs a dairy farm 3 miles northwest of Strawberry
Point, Iowa, dancing with one of his cows in 1994.

on this cow icon to view the video.
Even though this video appears on my site, The Art Of Middle
Eastern Dance, I suppose I should tell you that it has nothing
to do with belly dancing. My brother and I haven't yet figured
out a way to teach his cows to shimmy -- they just know how to
do social dancing.
The video file is almost 4 megabytes in size, so it'll take
you a while to download it. At 28.8 kbps modem speed, it will
probably take you a little under half an hour to download it
as long as the Internet isn't too congested at the time you try.
When the download is complete, if your browser window just shows
a still image of a bunch of cows, try clicking on the image to
activate the video playback. |

Tom and his wife Sally are shown in the picture to the right.
Tom is holding a potato gun which our mom's husband Duane made
for him. The potato gun fires pieces of potato as ammunition.
