saddest thing I've ever posted in this thread: Train's "Drive-By" used in a commercial for Nationwide Insurance.  Nationwide is not on my side.

Rod and others who are fond of typing "cow orker" here will appreciate this meme: Colbert did a bit Monday nite, re: the fact that the NFL will sue you if you say "Super Bowl" without permission.  So he's doing a week of shows celebrating "Superb Owl XLVII".

I've heard that even people using only the roman numerals XLVIII are getting calls from NFL lawyers. Sheesh!

"Cow orker" obviously stems from a typing error and has been an Internet meme for around
twenty years.  I wager it began in some usenet discussion group, and if Google hadn't ruined
their archive into an unusable pile of dung with the latest version, I'd try looking for its earliest
occurence.

The IOC et. al. are even bigger dicks about "protecting their brand."  They went after businesses
in London who used "2012" on signs.  One of many reasons why I have come to despise the
Olympics.

I think I first learned of "cow orker" on this board -- I think it was first introduced by mshray, though I might be misremembering.  I'm not sure why it appeals to me, but it does.

I believe there is a thread somewhere on this site entitled "The Cow Orker Thread".

My recollection agrees with Rod. I couldn't remember if it was Mark or Rod that first used it, but if Rod says it was Mark then it probably was. I think it did originate with a mis-typed space, about 10-12 years back. Could have come from elsewhere but this was the first place I saw it in use.

They've been using what I assumed was the original version for several years. Maybe the option finally ran out?

Heard a radio spot on Magic 98 for some product that cures bad breath in dogs -- NutraDent Complete -- and they were using "Love Stinks". Oy.
