This one goes out to Medium Jim 

Link!

Occasionally, goat news is covered here at YRHT. I feel it's important, because I feel goats...
are important. They can be milked and eaten...
for sustenance. They can be dressed in tutus...
strictly as a gag of course...

The President's father was a goatherder, which is a wonderful thing to contemplate.

And if memory serves, one time on Let's Make a Love Connection a contestant told Chuck Woolery that she opted for door #3 instead of bachelor #2... and she won a white goat instead of a car! Yet she wasn't elated, which has always puzzled me.

I still hold out hope that one of my pearlgirls will explore goatherding as a career. Fingers crossed.

I left out an important fact so I thought I better dump and do a do-over. This is what I meant:

Hey, looks like a slow nite for da bloggas......as it should be.

Anyways, 'bout dem goats....you know it is a misconception that the majority of Arab men have sex with a goat? That is blantly false and racist. Only 49.7% of the male population of Arab descent have sex regulary with a goat.

And yeah, I'm living proof that the nut job phony baloney Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was wrong.

OK glad I corrected dat. Don't want people to think there's something wrong with me.

Most Merciful Erster:

I can think of no two greater honors than: (1) to be the subject of one of your posts (2) about goats.

Time does not permit a discussion of the cultural, philosphical and, um, personal significance of goats. Erster mentions a few. Anyone who has studied the history of Greek philosphy understands what I'm saying. Nietzsche fans do too. Anyone dare to guess what I'm dressing up as for Halloween?

I was fascinated with a book called 'Goatwalking' when I was in college, a kind of non-fiction Quaker Don Quixote that describes shuttling illegal immigrants across the desert using goats like astronauts would use a spacesuit. If you have a goat and live in a barren desert, the goat can eat scrub brush, and you milk the goat and live on that. Only goats are too stupid to survive in the desert so you have to keep them sheltered and find water for the dumbass life-saving goats. Circle of life, bitches!
