*psst* Judi - linky no worky. ;)

King George's body was contorted in ways that no goat can endure for more than a few hours.
TMI...

Since I can't link to the story I will just add that I, for one, use baby oil.
Posted by: Siouxie | July 09, 2009 at 03:25 PM
This link has been hooned.
What if you just hoon the goat?
Posted by: CJrun | July 09, 2009 at 03:27 PM
CJ, no! cg would get jealous.
Posted by: Diva | July 09, 2009 at 03:29 PM
Temp link until Judi changes that one. ;)
Posted by: Diva | July 09, 2009 at 03:30 PM
Great. Here I am with a goat stuck in a tree and a can of cooking spray in my hand and the link won't work to tell me what else I can use to get it down. It just figures.
Posted by: nursecindy | July 09, 2009 at 03:30 PM
If this keeps up then judi no worky, either.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | July 09, 2009 at 03:34 PM
This link works.
Most times I just push the ladder under the goat.

King George would go for the Royal Oak.
I understand angora goats prefer fur trees.

I suspected as much, Siouxie.

Given all the link trouble I think we have to ask: Isn't a bit early for Judi to be drinking whatever she found in Liz's drawers?
Posted by: wiredog | July 09, 2009 at 03:47 PM
But can you use a goat to get cooking spray out of the tree? What shoddy reporting.

*wonders if KY jelly would work*
Posted by: Texgal | July 09, 2009 at 03:57 PM
Mint jelly works with mutton. Why not goat?
Posted by: Dr. Bob | July 09, 2009 at 04:01 PM
Of course it's not going to work if you don't light it. Silly people.
Posted by: Hammond Rye | July 09, 2009 at 04:17 PM
i'm trying but the link i was sent still works for me! so i don't know...
Posted by: judi | July 09, 2009 at 04:18 PM
Tex, if they were in Australia, we could have told them to use KY "down under."
Posted by: Diva | July 09, 2009 at 04:18 PM
All that's missing from this story is a catapult, a ton of feathers, a barrel of warm cooking grease and three wierdos going " nyuk, nyuk, nyuk " and it would perfectly mirror the government's efforts to get us out of our current economic mess.
Posted by: Clankazoid | July 09, 2009 at 04:20 PM
Wish someone had told me that yesterday. Poor goat!

Cooking spray will, however, keep squirrels away from bird feeders. Especially if applied to the face.
Posted by: oneblankspace | July 09, 2009 at 04:26 PM
judi, it works now. Go fig.
Posted by: Siouxie | July 09, 2009 at 04:28 PM
It just proves that you cannot tell an old goat anything because they never learn.
Posted by: nursecindy | July 09, 2009 at 05:14 PM
makes me want to try it!

Anyone else notice the complete absence of quotation marks in that article?
Is this the new "style" for journalists in Northern California?
Posted by: klezmerphan | July 09, 2009 at 06:41 PM
TexGal, doesn't KY jelly generally get the old goat IN rather than out???
Posted by: frodolives | July 09, 2009 at 08:26 PM
Perhaps they should have tried Goat Grease:

whoops "as other men could,,,"
Posted by: Clown Puppy | July 09, 2009 at 09:13 PM
Clown Puppy why would men hunt beaver? Is it edible? Just curious.
Posted by: nursecindy | July 09, 2009 at 09:27 PM
Cindy, you need to throw me a few bucks to help me buy a new computer because I just ruined this one by spewing beer out my nose all over this one!!!! OMG!!!
If I was Alysia Krafel, I'd be looking up recipes for cabrito...

"Do you mean the WORM or the SPAGHETTI?
Posted by: frodolives | July 09, 2009 at 10:42 PM
I find that cooking spray may not help with the tree situation, but it works pretty damn well if you brown the goat in a non-stick pan, add 2 chopped onions, toss in some cumin, coriander, and fenugreek, toss in a can of chopped tomatoes, simmer til tender, and serve over saffron rice.

PAM Anderson could, in certain circumstances, get my goat out of a tree... jus' sayin'...

*snork* @ Chef Tony!!!

"contorted in ways that no goat can endure for more than a few hours."
You'd think that with our apparently extensive testing of goat endurance, we'd already have been alerted re: the effectiveness of various greases in the removal of Capra aegagrus hircus from botanical obstructions.
