An oldie but goodie. A goat in Nigeria was accused of being a person who attempted to steal a Mazda 323 before turning himself into a goat with black magic. Yes, really.

All the best to all of you for a week of avoiding criminal goats.

Piper! I have a friend whose son is begging for a hedgehog! I just sent this off to her. She’s going to kill me. I loved MarkKap’s debate parody. Good stuff. Thanks for sharing your faves.
How funny. We don’t have hedgehogs out here. Are they the same things as groundhogs? . . . Good to see you. 🙂
Wow, Piper! You are quick in slipping my post in there, girlie! Thanks so much for the shoutout. Loved the app parody. Riot!
It’s funny about the goat…driving home yesterday, I thought for SURE that someone was walking a GOAT. No, really! I could only see the lower part of the body in traffic. Slowed down for a better look, but it turned out to be a dog, LOL. Why is the universe sending goats my way? Maybe it’s a message.
Okay, enough of my rambling about the goats. Have a fab weekend!

Hmm. Trying to think what a message from the universe about goats might be. . . . It’s time for BBQ?
Hilarious. I’m the one who voted for roasted goat, by the way. On the drive to work in Bahrain, I frequently saw dead, skinned goats in the back of pick-ups. But they weren’t driving…
Oh, wow. I wonder why they skinned them before putting them in the truck. Seems it’d be less messy to do that after the ride.
Great links, thanks
And, not a wise choice turning into a goat here…loose goats don’t last long. It’s Texas, cabrito (slow spit-roasted over hickory) is highly prized for cookouts.
LMAO! You have an excellent point. And in Nigeria, perhaps a better choice would have been a cheetah so that he could outrun the police.
Nice one, Piper.
I’m sure the goat thing could come in useful here as well.
Perp: “No officer, it wasn’t me who robbed that bank, stole a car, and then crashed it into that house. It was my goat. She is evil!”
Officer: “Gee, I didn’t know! Sorry for bothering you sir.” Tips hat. “My mistake. Move on then.”
I also liked the article on autistic girls. I just a Bollywood movie about an autistic girl (Barfi) a few weeks ago. I rather liked it, it was rather different to the usual crap from Bollywood.
LOL. I may need to get a pet goat. 🙂
Sounds like an interesting movie. What was the name of it?
Barfi.

Thank you. 🙂
Thank you for including me in The End Is Near… I am honored as always, Piper. And thank you for sharing Marcy Kennedy’s post…I have to admit that I chose the characteristics of Frodo. But, then again, self-praise is no praise at all. And I would totally arrest a goat. Ignorance of the law is no defense. Getting a plea bargain might be a little tough, though.
LOL. Perhaps a bleat bargain? 🙂
I’m shocked at how many people would roast the goat. And I want to hang out where Laird is hanging out on YouTube, that was weird and cute at the same time.
That is weird and cute, isn’t it? 🙂
I’m wondering how they scientifically tested whether or not the goat had once been a human. DNA sample? Hoof prints??
I hope your knee is better. 🙂
Obviously they will first beat a confession out of him and then use black magic to turn him into a human being…
I’m guessing science didn’t play a big role in this.
My knee is doing much better, thank you. I appreciate your concern. 🙂
I’m sorry, but I had to answer YES to your poll question. I live for stupidity like this.
Some people are so stupid it’s crazy. This article made my day, thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it, Daan. 🙂
I’m loving these poll questions! …LOL Now then, if someone had told me I could turn myself into a goat to get out of that speeding ticket I got a few weeks ago, I would’ve. Why is it, you always learn about helpful things after the fact?
Isn’t that the truth? I certainly could have used the goat trick during that police raid back in . . . you know, maybe that’s too much information. 🙂
