I like that name for a goat -- Butthead. Clever, since that's what they do.

"Hertfordshire police mounted an investigation..."
heh heh heh, he said mounted, heh heh

Quite an original name for a goat, eh?
/end sarcasm
Posted by: Eleanor | July 28, 2007 at 06:33 PM
They coulda named him "Dirty Old" or "Getchur", or "Horny". So many fun names to name a goat!
Posted by: Bethie | July 28, 2007 at 06:56 PM
Or Meanold, Bethie.

How about 'pYgmy'goat? Since 'pig my' goat sounds more like a naughty request.
Let's celebrate and rev up the Western Moatarita Maker.

Dammit CJrun, minced garlic, minced garlic!! For the love of God!

Oh, I thought ALL HUMANITY REJOICES referred to how everyone reacted when I moved back to the states.
By the way, Dave, I've moved to FL, and got my own FL driver's license, so watch out (if yer ever in Key West.)

I'm sure Butthead makes more musical sounds with his ladyfriends than he ever did with Beavis.
Posted by: Betsy | July 28, 2007 at 11:20 PM
TMI on the goat noises.
Posted by: gfunksizzle | July 29, 2007 at 12:09 AM
Could Goat Noise possibly be a GNFARB?
Posted by: NurseZ | July 29, 2007 at 12:35 AM
Did someone let the goat loose in the blogbar tonight? Who pulled Mert's finger?
It must be some ghastly, gnarly odor keeping everyone away from the bar!
Posted by: Meditrina | July 29, 2007 at 01:09 AM
Yeah, it seems weird to have less than 20 responses on the last blog entry of the day.
Posted by: Kristina L. | July 29, 2007 at 01:34 AM
Does this magnifying glass make my pygmy goat Butthead look big?
Posted by: SW | July 29, 2007 at 04:00 AM
Stevie - Yes. ;-P
Posted by: DeskDiva | July 29, 2007 at 04:58 AM
excellent, DavCat! aberforth's 'interest' is never exactly cleared up, is it?
one question remains: where's beavis?
Posted by: nora | July 29, 2007 at 07:11 AM
Nora - well, those who have dirty minds think that Aberforth, ahem, you know. And others say he was trying to find a better way to get/make bezoars.
Beavis is probably one of those fainting goats. Anyone have a video of that? They are hysterical! My hubby wants to get a couple of fainting goast someday to mow the yard of the house we don't own yet.

"Mounted an investigation" should never be used in a goat story.....
Posted by: Jazzzz | July 29, 2007 at 07:29 AM
sorry Trillion, didn't see your clever post earlier....great minds and all......moving on....Good morning everyone! where the hell are you?
Posted by: Jazzzz | July 29, 2007 at 07:34 AM
yes, that's what i initially thought, too: 'well, that's an interesting way to add color to a book...' and i noticed it was never addressed later. well, she does like to make her characters complex.

Do I hear a sheep among the goats?
Posted by: fivver | July 29, 2007 at 10:06 AM
fivver, we took this lovely photo in NC and apparently sheep DO like to be among the goats.
Goat Lovin'!

Why am I irresistibly reminded of the Far Side cartoon with the shady guy trying to sell off some ungulates? Oh, right. Because I'm warped.
Posted by: Nurse Tammy | July 29, 2007 at 11:47 AM
and that being one of your many wonderful qualities, NT ;-)
Posted by: Jazzzz | July 29, 2007 at 11:52 AM
Thanks, Jazzzz. *yawn* Off to sleep for me.
Posted by: Nurse Tammy | July 29, 2007 at 11:54 AM
Nurse Tammy, I didn't noticed you were warped at all. Maybe because I'm warped the same way.
I sure miss Larson's Far Side cartoons. Almost as much as I miss Darry Barry's weekly columns. I guess the good things never last.
Posted by: Buford | July 29, 2007 at 12:01 PM
Darry Barry? Is he any relation to Dave Barry?
Where did that Cuban coffee go to?
Posted by: Buford | July 29, 2007 at 12:25 PM
Hola amigos, my feet are sore from kicking the bot's ass but it doesn't seem to make one iota of difference. The bastard's intransigence is staggering. Gumball please.
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | July 29, 2007 at 12:30 PM
Here ya go, Mot! Take as many as you need. ;)
*waves hi to Jazzzz*
Posted by: Eleanor | July 29, 2007 at 12:58 PM
waves to friends
Mot, no need to ram the computer. Butthead is a good name for the bot, though. ;-)
Posted by: Meditrina | July 29, 2007 at 01:02 PM
I've got some better names for the 'bot, but I don't think I'd be able to use them on the blog.
I wouldn't want Dave to get busted for indecency, after all...
Posted by: Wes S. | July 29, 2007 at 01:40 PM
Yeah, I can think of a few choice names meself, however, decorum dictates that I refrain from uttering them here.
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | July 29, 2007 at 02:02 PM
"ALL HUMANITY REJOICES"
I was so disappointed when I clicked the link. From Dave's title, I just assumed that one of the unholy trinity (Hilton/Lohan/Spears) was locked up for something.

I want to share with you a new film that is coming out called The Human Experience. After attending the prescreening of their latest piece, I have been left speechless,awestruck,and deeply moved. The film follows two brothers who travel around the world in search of the meaning of life. It is a true story and has re-opened my eyes to the beauty of life, family, forgiveness, and faith. This is a must see film for everyone and I applaud the young men who have taken up a real care and dignity for human life.
