IT'S TIME FOR OUR ANNUAL GÄVLE GOAT UPDATE

The Gävle goat has been torched, shot with flaming arrows, run over by cars and beaten with clubs. But this year, the massive straw statue has a new antagonist to contend with — hungry birds.

Well, light it up and have that duck for supper.

Not a scarry as I imagined.

Been there, done that.

When I read "the Gävle goat has been torched, shot with flaming arrows, run over by cars and beaten with clubs", I assumed that destruction was the POINT of the goat, but no, apparently vandalizing it has just become a tradition of sorts. Kinda sad, really. :|

Pleese-a leefe-a zee-a guet ilune-a! Bork Bork Bork!

Goat's gotta go, man.
