If you're trying to make a quick $500, come to the Amherst Common on Saturday, October 29 for a cow drop.

I know you're sitting there, all confused like "Should I know what a cow drop is?" Well if you do actually know, you need to get your hillbilly ass out to Amherst for the fun. And if you don't know here's the scoop. Basically the cow will be roaming around over 400 squares looking for the perfect place to lay it down. The UMass Lions' Club is selling these squares for $5 a pop and if their cow goes number 2 in your square you win $500.

The Lions' Club will be donating $400 to the Jimmy Fund and another $300 to Lions' Eye Research, so if the sheer excitement of the cow drop doesn't draw you in maybe that will. Or the music and food going on until the cow picks its toilet.

I guess all that's left to say is, only in western Massachusetts.
