An actual proclamation by Vermont Governor James H. Douglas declaring it Mike Greenberg Day in the state.
WHEREAS, Vermonters are quite certain that prior to today, Mike would not have known the difference between a Holstein heifer and a Black Angus Bull, or picked the cow out of a lineup of deer; and
WHEREAS, Mike lost his bet with Mike Golic on the NCAA tournament, and as a result was compelled this morning to milk a beautifully bedecked bovine beauty – whose name is Sox; and
WHEREAS, according to Sox, Greeny has a supple four-seam grip but could afford to spend a little more time down on the farm; and
WHEREAS, Vermonters are a kind and generous people who are delighted to highlight Mr. Greenberg’s unique celebration of agriculture – one of our state’s most important industries; and
WHEREAS, this udderly fun-filled agricultural tutorial may inspire ?Mike and Mike? to visit us in Vermont to meet the Vermont Diary Princess, enjoy the Strolling of the Heifers, or attend the Heifer Ball.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, James H. Douglas, Governor, do hereby proclaim Thursday, June 21,2007 as MIKE GREENBERG DAY in Vermont and do hereby bestow upon him for this day the privilege of Honorary Resident of Vermont. Given under my hand and the Great Seal of the State of Vermont this 20th day of June, A.D. 2007.”
Evidently, the entire state of Vermont has too much time on its hands.
