For those interested in saving today's youth from the horrors of goat trauma...

You will have to get my sweater cleaned, Bungleau! *wipes Diet Lime Coke off her sleeve*

I lost it at this one : Look out all you old goats, they've got your number! [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

My apologies, Cloudy :D Next time I'm out that way, I'll make amends.

what really makes this interesting for me is that it was picked as a Family Fun site... a family-friendly organization.

IOW, someone's out there trying to figure out how to save these poor defenseless children from the goats... [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

:D Well, as they said, "Goats are deceitful and can hide just about anywhere. " [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img]

At first I wasn't sure if some lunatic really thought this was a necessary foundation or not....but the page with the things I quoted made it quite clear they're laughing up their sleeves...while I was spitting Coke onto mine. ;)

Family Friendly, eh? But those sneaky young goats cause TRAUMA...that isn't friendly to families! :eef: :D ;)

Ducks (and geese, chickens etc) can be formidable when irritated! :D

We have a ground nesting bird out our way that gets VERY aggressive if you get near a nest. The males try to distract you by acting injured and going away from the area, but if you keep getting closer to the nest...look out! A neighbor of ours didn't realize they were in his yard and got his legs pecked pretty hard by one of the birds when he tried to mow the lawn too close to their nest.

....so, I guess I'm the only one who was terrified by goats when they were younger?

We had a few...I remember one time I was playing with a shiny metal tape measure of my dad's near a fence, when I dropped the tape measure over the fence. Our biggest goat, the one with horns, came over, and was trying to get the tape measure for itself while I tried to get it to avoid being in trouble...

I was like nine years old, and the goat was acting like it was going to bite me, so I screamed and cried....

Are you still traumatized by the sight of a goat? :D (I can see how it would be scary at 9, though!)

I don't like the suckers, but that's more because some idiot 2 miles up the road doesn't like to build goat-proof fences, and makes no effort to keep them from running around on the road...

But no CGT :D

HEHE...well, they CAN hide anywhere...so stay alert! :D
