Stories about Goats

[Homercidal]

Had a friend who rented a old farmhouse with an old barn. The entire floor was filled with about 2-3 feet of corn that was long eaten down to cobs by the time they moved there, but they cleaned out the milking area and tied a female goat in there. She had a kid, which lived for a short time before a massive flea infestation killed it.

Then the nanny jumped over a short wall, strangling herself with her lead.

That's all my experience with goats.

Well, that was the mid 80s, so I'd say the landscape looks completely different at this point.

I guess I missed that part. It got me wondering and I revisited google earth to check out the timeline feature. It goes back to 1997 I think; however, compared to today's resolution it looks like impressionist art.

You can't sale a goat you don't have...

You can't sale a goat you don't have...

to be fair, they actually do have goats. Lots of them.


Just thought it was funny that enough people must have inquired about them that it caused them to put up a sign.

I live on a dead end road in the middle of nowhere and have had people stop by to ask about the goats. Two years ago, it was a run down pick-up with two Hispanics asking how much I wanted for one of my (breeding) bucks. I think they choked a bit when I said that they weren't for sale and were worth about $1000 each. Told them I'd have plenty of baby bucks in the spring, but have not seen them at all.

My wife plays this silly game where she yells out "Im a goat!" then rams me with her head.

They were probably looking for a BBQ.

Retaliate with "I'M AN EAGLE!!!" and then.... well... I'll let Mr. Gif explain:

Damn...I'm never getting close to the edge of a cliff if there are any birds around. They are sneaky bastards.

Shouldn't you be more worried about this?

A goat ate my nametag off my shirt when I was on a school field trip as a child. We shared a moment, but I wouldn't call myself a goat enthusiast per se.

What was the last thing that went through that goat's mind before he hit the bottom of that cliff? His ******* <rimshot>.

Came across a video of Hunter today

 

[Psylocide]

Yeah, but why is he letting that Asian kid sit on him and what's with the green drawers?

Now that's what's called tenderizing.

It is just....

Years ago, I drove for a trucking company as a local city driver. We would talk to dispatch by two-way radio.

One driver, ( Roy ) would call dispatch, the dispatcher would say "go ahead" and then he would say "Don't call me a goat-head".

I always got a chuckle out of that.

One of the goats at Silky Sullivan's, an Irish pub on Beale Street in Memphis:

A number of southern states are looking at goats as the solution to kudzu.

It is the reason why I don't think I'll get goats unless I can get a much bigger property. I have enough issues worrying about deer and birds stripping my berry bushes and fruit trees, I don't need to worry about goats doing the same.

Chattanooga, TN used to rent goats to clear kudzu off some hillsides over tunnels so the kudzu wouldn't block the tunnel entrances/exits

I don't think I've told this story before... my dad used to have a male pigmy goat. It LOVED Ritz cracker sandwiches with peanut butter in the middle.

hmmmmmm...maybe she is trying to tell you her horns need trimming?

When I first saw the icon I thought I was missing some innuendo. But after reading these 12 pages and wiping away tears after laughing at some of the stories I'm glad it was added. Unfortunately I'm a city boy and never had a goat to have a story to share. Maybe one day...

They have that in MA too (I never saw anything like when growing up in East Tennessee) http://www.thegoatgirls.com/
