CSI: HENDERSONVILLE

Teens charged with stealing downtown goat

Update: What is the deal with all these goat-related crimes?

Comments

Not the downtown goat! Stealing outlying-area goats is one thing, but stealing the downtown goat -- that's just a dirty rotten lowdown shame.

This kind of thing really gets my goat . . .

Is there an uptown goat?

At first I thought the story in the second link took place in Weirdsdale, which would be appropriate. Weirsdale isn't too far off.

Downtown Goat?

Didn't he used to chuck 'em up for the Heat?

sly, I think that was a Billy Joel sequel to "Uptown Girl."

If I had a dime for everytime I felt like shooting someone over a goat...

It's just possible that, for the right price, I might have a lead on this downtown goat.

What is the deal with all these goat-related crimes?

Dave, stealing sheep would be too obvious.

"What are you in for?"

"Armed robbery. You?"

"Felonious possession of an ungulate."

"Bummer, dude."

Dionicio "Don” Delarosa Reyes installed my new dishwasher two days ago. He never mentioned the goat, but looked a little suspicious now that I think about it?

This gives our whole family a bad name, dude.

Naperville, Illinois, was one of many cities to have a decorated animal festival. The goal is to get people to wander from decorated animal to decorated animal, purchasing goods from area merchants along the way.

The police had to crack down on people performing unnatural acts in public with the creatures. In some instances, the acts are filmed with cell phones and posted online.

Stealing a downtown goat is relatively mild.

Fine each $100 and make them apologize at high noon where the goat was napped while dressed in T-shirts that read "I am a goat thief". The resultant publicity will rake in a huge pile of donations to "Kiddin around Downtown."

This incident has probably revived bad memories of the "five-year run of the bears", the ill-advised attempt to attract tourism by emulating the Running of the Bulls in Spain. It was all hoots and giggles the first year as terrified cubs were hounded through the streets of Hendersonville by tourists; however, subsequent bear events generated numerous lawsuits as the traumatized bears grew to adulthood.

Why are the Hendersonville police so gruff?

Our Mercedes must be protected. If this means the goats must disappear - well, there are still many other animals that may be barbecued.

I blame the Bokken. Now that it doesn't burn, people have to find other ways to fill the goat-sized void in their lives.

Was the goat driving a Mercedes when the incident occurred?

This reminds me one of crossgirl's favorite "chickens" around Little Havana.

Was that a goat?

What is the deal with all these goat-related crimes?

Um, goats are the new squirrels?

*hides under desk*

Anyone else notice this sidebar?
Schools must acheive diversity, hire 50% male teache...
School-related misspellings really get my Toggenburg.

...although I do know where they can find teachers that are 50% male.

Personally, I think "Decorative Goat" WBABetterNFARB.

Hmm. My sister's an hour away, in Weaverville. I'll have to ask her why Hendersonville is so unimaginative.

Comment: The newspaper covers Transylvania county.

Update: Did they misspell Weirdsdale?
