Good morning, Houston. If you've been working on a list of things you can do with cow patties, we've got another item for you: You can make pens out of them. Just ask John Lopez of Poteet, who has gotten semi-famous in South Texas by making pens from ground-up cow patties. No, — the ground poop is mixed with a plastic resin, milled into cylinders and fitted with pen parts; the finished product, which the AP describes as "looking almost like wood from a distance," sells for $45. Lopez said he got the idea for the poop pens when he was thinking about making handmade pens, but couldn't find exotic materials in Poteet. So he turned to one of the most abundant natural materials around, and he said he's proud of how the pens reflect his surroundings. "That's where I live, and I'm not a Yankee," he said. "I've been up north once. I've been to Oklahoma, and I didn't care for it."
