GOAT
 

We need a less dumb thread than some of the ones that are popping up.

Here is a really cool goat. He was in the British Army.

Baaaaah. It had to be said.

I say it's a Corgi on steroids.

I'm watching the goat episode of How I met your Mother.

Goats are really smelly. Ufda.

And what is on that goat's head? A goat helmet?

That is my contribution.

Goat cheese is about one of my favorite things in the world.

Roasted figs with goat cheese are especially yummy. So is a chicken, goat cheese and artichokes dish.

Claims filed in death of Wash. hiker gored by goat

PORT ANGELES, Wash. — The widow of a Port Angeles hiker who was fatally gored by a mountain goat in Washington's Olympic National Park has filed a wrongful death claim against the park.

Bob Boardman died last October after a mountain goat followed him and gored him on a popular park trail about 17 miles south of Port Angeles.

I love this episode, but I love most HIMYM eppys...esp. last night :D

"When there's a tough, dirty job to be done, Northwest folks roll up their sleeves...and rent their goats!"

Bill the Goat is Navy's mascot. As you can see, he is quite a handsome guy!

The Men Who Stare at Goats was... strange.

I loved The Men Who Stare at Goats. And Jon Ronson is a fabulous writer, telling the tales of crazy people (or are they?) in such a way that he leaves it completely up to you to decide if it's real. This particular story, he really was told. He never says the story actually happened, just that he really did hear the story from a guy who says it's first hand knowledge. Nutty? Probably, but would you really put it past the US military to try some of this stuff? And if you want to be further entertained, pick up THEM, a book he wrote about conspiracy theorists.

The movie that I had a video audition for was called "The Goats" - based on a YA novel. While I'm pretty sure I didn't get the part at this point, the guy who is directing it is the one who did "I Am Number Four", so if nothing else, I got my face in front of his.

I thought it was hilarious, too.

33, this is a very strange thread. Why goats, I must ask? Why?

Corgi Stampede
 

Corgis are much better than goats but do not make delicious goat cheese.

This stampede made me laugh so hard. I had 2 corgis but lost one last February. Corgi puppies are the absolute cutest.

Some posters look at goats and ask, why? I look at goats and ask, why not?


KR, I think Bill is going to the same hairdresser that Mr. Brady went to in the last season.

What is that thing y'all do now when you really like a quote? QFT or something?

My contribution...it's what I think about every time I hear the word GOAT:

A Seussian goat view
 

Not with a goat, not with a troll.
Not in a boat, not in a....crap...I can't think of a rhyme.

not with a goat, not with a troll.
not in a boat, not in a mink stole.

best I could do, why I am in the goat thread again, I don't know; I'm getting nauseous.

I do a really, really, really good goat impression.

Also, fainting goats are possibly some of the cutest animals around.

I once knew some really freaky people in college who would have goat roasts. I never went.

Why freaky? Lots of people eat goat. I work with a guy who breeds goats, they're a meat breed too. He usually has a roast in the fall sometime too. I've not gone to try it though.

Goat cheese and Jamaican curry goat. :)

Oh, the fact that they ate goat wasn't what made them freaky. The freakiness was independent of the goatiness.

Goatiness is now my new favorite word.

This reminded me of the time the barn goat ate the check for my horseback riding lesson off of the tack box when I was getting the tack on the horse.

My mom said that the people at the bank had a good laugh when she called to cancel the check. :)

When my husband was younger, and they lived on a bunch of acres of land, they had a goat who would eat the areas they didn't have gardens or lawn. Saved on gas for a lawnmower. I don't think he had a name, though. What would you name a goat, anyway? I like the name Eduardo for a goat.

One time, I was at a petting zoo and there was a big sign on the goat pen that said "Do not feed the goats." A goat stuck his head through the fence and ate it. That was the highlight of my day.
Why are people questioning your goat thread-starting motives? Enough weird things happen here without making you the scapegoat.

ba-dum-chh.

Bill or Billy, obviously!
