Yay! That means the state attorney will stop harassing me now...
Posted by: tropichunt.com guy™ | April 26, 2007 at 07:10 AM
Well, should anyway. They're still a bit picky over the bodies that were there as well...
Posted by: tropichunt.com guy™ | April 26, 2007 at 07:11 AM
This blog is getting way too rural lately, sheep, goats, runaway cows, bull sh!t, you get my drift?
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | April 26, 2007 at 07:20 AM
I wonder if the goat likes staying in the van? Maybe he would rather have a bedroom with a comfy bed in the house...just a thought!

Mornin' people!!
Where's the coffee? donuts? goat milk?
Posted by: Siouxie | April 26, 2007 at 07:43 AM
No minivan could hold a seriously dissatisfied goat.

SPAM PATROL!!!
kewenlong - I'd kick ya out myself..but I was wondering how LOW are those shoe prices?? just askin'
Posted by: Siouxie | April 26, 2007 at 08:17 AM
I would think that after a couple of meals and the subsequent BMs in the back of that van, there might tend to ba-a-a-a-a-d smell.
Posted by: Bãrön vønKlyff | April 26, 2007 at 08:18 AM
Well, minivans are for transporting kids, right?
Posted by: Reddsuss | April 26, 2007 at 08:21 AM
Don't you think the smell of goat all by itself is enough to make it smell baaaaad?
OT, but related to Baron's sneak attack above:
I was getting my hair done yesterday and the hairdresser decided that she didn't like the music that was playing, so she changed to the XM 70s station, which was playing a Barry Manilow song (don't remember which one). She came out singing to the song and the other hairdresser in the salon and she had this echange (Robin is mine, Adam is the other).
Robin: Hey! Barry Manilow!
Adam: Eww. Barry Manilow!
Robin: What's wrong with Barry Manilow? He must be good- everyone knows his work.
Adam: Everybody knows Adolph Hitler, too.
The next song was "Convoy". Adam got all excited and ran to turn it up.
Robin: Hey- you like this? Don't be giving me sh!t about Barry Manilow.
I was trying not to hurt myself laughing. Then AC/DC came on and shook us all night long.
/end OT

ddd, and you didn't grab the scissors to puncture your eardrums????
WOW..you're a better woman than me...

Is this National Blog an Animal Day or something?
Posted by: Cheesewiz | April 26, 2007 at 08:35 AM
That's not an environment for an animal.
Nor humans. Yet we routinely lock people (sometimes including children) into minivans (and even worse, sedans) for up to several hours at a time for what scientists call "the daily commute". This practice MUST stop.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | April 26, 2007 at 08:36 AM
I didn't want to mess up my hair. Or get blood on my shoes (I had the cute wedges on with braided leather).
You understand.
Posted by: diverdowndoc | April 26, 2007 at 08:37 AM
*SNORK!*@ Reddsuss, and Robin & Adam ('n ddd).
I prefer to keep my goats in a D0dge Ram.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | April 26, 2007 at 08:38 AM
Cheesewiz- EVERYDAY is "blog and animal day" here on the Dave Barry blog!

I sound like Rain Man. Both posts above, technically, are correct.
Posted by: diverdowndoc | April 26, 2007 at 08:40 AM
ohhh well that's different, ddd! Shoes must not be sacrificed no matter WHAT!
Posted by: Siouxie | April 26, 2007 at 08:41 AM
I meant that the shoes had braided leather, not that I was wearing braided leather and the wedges. It's not that kind of salon.
Although...

How do they know he was Happy and not constipated?
Posted by: From Another World | April 26, 2007 at 08:48 AM
That goat isn't constipated, she's saying, "Oooooooohhhhh, BARRY!!!!!! "

B-a-a-a-rry!
Posted by: tmcguinn1 | April 26, 2007 at 08:56 AM
Something is wrong here today....
I am not getting smacked for posting clandestine Barry's, and there are people (tmcguinn1) actually swooning over him. Did I wake up in an alternate universe or something today. *darts head around looking for an evil, sadistic Spock*
Posted by: Bãrön vønKlyff | April 26, 2007 at 09:17 AM
That wasn't me, it was the goat! I swear!!
Posted by: tmcguinn1 | April 26, 2007 at 09:21 AM
Oh-oh M-A-A-Andy!
Posted by: tmcguinn1 | April 26, 2007 at 09:22 AM
I'm with ya Baron - just getting back from the 20-minutes or retching. Bring out the hotwax!
Posted by: From Another World | April 26, 2007 at 09:24 AM
*now, which album do I put on next...even now, ultimate manilow, this one's for you, one voice...*
Posted by: tmcguinn1 | April 26, 2007 at 09:27 AM
I think tmc fell out of bed several times.
Posted by: From Another World | April 26, 2007 at 09:27 AM
growing up, we had neighbors who kept a pig in the back of a pickup truck. it wasn't an environment for a pig, but since the truck pulled the smoker it was very convenient.
Posted by: crossgirl | April 26, 2007 at 09:28 AM
I think she's flirting with disaster. Notice how quiet it's gotten around here?
Posted by: ubetcha | April 26, 2007 at 09:29 AM
Does she get to drive in the diamond lane?
("HOV" in other parts of the country, I think. You know, the express lane for for carpoolers.)
Lady, do you know how fast you were goating?
Posted by: Stevie W | April 26, 2007 at 09:29 AM
WooHoo, FAW. Hotwax... again, as long as it's from a candle and not a jar, I'm up for that.
Posted by: Bãrön vønKlyff | April 26, 2007 at 09:30 AM
As long as she doesn't fall a sheep at the wheel.
Posted by: Stevie W | April 26, 2007 at 09:30 AM
How Manilow can you go?
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | April 26, 2007 at 09:32 AM
Shirley Weidt? At least she rides around with a shofar (chauffeur).
Oy vey. Why am I explaining all my own jokes today? It's a bad sign. of something.
Posted by: Stevie W | April 26, 2007 at 09:36 AM
*SMACKS Baron*
Happy now?? ;-P
Posted by: Siouxie | April 26, 2007 at 09:36 AM
Could this get any worse?
Posted by: From Another World | April 26, 2007 at 09:37 AM
FAW - It just did.
Posted by: ubetcha | April 26, 2007 at 09:38 AM
Thank you very much, Siouxie. I needed that... especially after the brain bleach treatment I had to self medicate when I opened FAW's little linky.
Posted by: Bãrön vønKlyff | April 26, 2007 at 09:41 AM
Is it just me, or do Cher and Barry look alike? Coincidence? I think not!
Posted by: tmcguinn1 | April 26, 2007 at 09:43 AM
Scary Spice just had a baby girl. Her real name is Melanie Brown. She claims it is Eddie Murphy's, therefore named it Angel Iris Murphy Brown. Murphy Brown famously hated Barry Manilow. Her son on the show LOVED Barry Manilow. Too many coincidences. It's a plot, I tell you.
I think congress is behind this.
Posted by: tmcguinn1 | April 26, 2007 at 09:48 AM
Anytime, Baron...anytime.
Posted by: Siouxie | April 26, 2007 at 09:48 AM
this is why animals and people should be seperated.
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | April 26, 2007 at 09:52 AM
MtH - I'm guessing I was lucky I couldn't open that at work.
Posted by: ubetcha | April 26, 2007 at 09:54 AM
I'll try again later, I'm on my way home. Don't know why it will not work.
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | April 26, 2007 at 09:58 AM
um..Mot?? that link didn't work for me...
Posted by: Siouxie | April 26, 2007 at 09:59 AM
Well she got her daddy's van
And she cruised through the FFA stand now
Seems she forgot all about the old barn
Like she told her old man now
And with the goat bleating
Goes cruising just as fast as she can now
And she'll have fun fun fun
'Til the cops take the billy goat away
(Fun fun fun 'Til the cops take the billy goat away)
Well the girls can't stand her
'Cause she smells looks and acts like a goat now
(You smell like a goat now you walk like a goat)
She makes the Indy 500 look like a Roman chariot race now
(You look like a goat now you look like a goat)
A lotta guys try to catch her
But she leads them on a wild goose chase now
(You smell like a goat now you smell like a goat)
And she'll have fun fun fun
'Til the cops take the billy goat away
(Fun fun fun 'Til the cops take the billy goat away)
Well you knew all along
That SPCA was gettin' wise to you now
(You shouldn't have lied now you shouldn't have lied)
And since they took your set of keys
You've been thinking that your fun is all through now
(You shouldn't have lied now you shouldn't have lied)
But you can come along with me
'Cause we gotta a lot of things to do now
(You shouldn't have lied now you shouldn't have lied)
And we'll have fun fun fun now that the cops took the billy goat
(Fun fun fun now that the cops took the billy goat away)
And we'll have Fun fun fun now that the cops took the billy goat away
(Fun fun fun now that the cops took the billy goat away)
(Fun fun fun now that the cops took the billy goat away)
(Fun fun fun now that the cops took the billy goat away)
(Fun fun fun now that the cops took the billy goat away)
(Fun fun fun now that the cops took the billy goat away)

Holy cow (no, sorry, I forgot, this is the goat post).. Well, anyway, I inadvertantly clicked on Dread Pirate Chris' name and IE opened 33 windows trying to connect to him. *&#!, as they say in the funny papers. I had to exit and reen.., um, reconnect to see all other comments, etc... Don't do that again, Chris...

Mistress Diva, I will pretend that your whipping and Siouxie's smacking are punishments if that helps :) Just please don't tie me down with those leather straps I left lying within easy reach. And please don't spank me with that leather paddle that is coincidentally hanging from the back of the

I just found the Douglas Adams posting 2 threads over. I love him. Ah, Bãrön - all is forgiven.
*releases restraints*
Posted by: DeskDiva | April 26, 2007 at 12:02 PM
Bãrön, I must admit that when she is hunting squirrls that she holds her gun with a look of regal splendor.
Posted by: From Another World | April 26, 2007 at 12:03 PM
Mistress Diva, do you want me spread eagle or on my knees?
Posted by: Bãrön vønKlyff | April 26, 2007 at 12:07 PM
She is a woman with a gun who looks like she is really enjoying herself.
Posted by: Bãrön vønKlyff | April 26, 2007 at 12:12 PM
Oh, and Mistress Diva... OT: On Bãrönêss vønKlyff and my wedding announcement, we used a Douglas Adams quote:
