John Cow will hopefully be announcing to the world who he is after noon tomorrow. But I found out who he is and thought, just to be an arse, that I would post it and let everyone know before he gets a chance to bask in that glory.
I won’t beat about the bush….. here goes……………
John Cow is actually Mike D from the Beastie Boys.
I know it sounds nuts but you can see why he has been so hush hush. People would have jumped on him for other reasons than him wanting to be a MMO blogger.
In a conversation with Cow, which I promised I would not leak
sucker!!!! He said that after many years of running the Beastie Boys as more of a business, rather than a skinny white hip hop outfit, that his interests had shifted so he started going online and soaking up as much info as possible.
When he said in previous posts that he had staff, well they were the guys and girls at the Beasties’ own record label and strangely pre-Mike D’s interest they had no experience with online marketing.
So Mike Cow has been kind of stringing us along all this time pretending that he knew what he was talking about and doing a pretty Ok job of it all!
Kind of like the way I have been stringing you along.
If you believed one word of what I have written so far then……. well you are not that stupid, as it is true that Cow will be announcing his real identity, hopefully tomorrow.

So who is Cow anyway??
In the past I have thought that cow could have been Garry Conn, John Chow or even it’s original owner Bob.
I genuinely don’t know who the Cow is and did try and do some research at one point early on is this whole fiasco. I think they last conclusion I came to was that it was a guy called Matt Callen, and I still can’t remember why
.
I am anticipating the results….. let me know who you think it is….
