We haven't talked about goats in a long time

The city of Chicago has decided that it's ok to keep pygmy goats:

Quote:

The City Council voted unanimously to reclassify the goats -- also known dwarf or miniature goats -- as small animals rather than farm animals after testimony touting the virtues of the dog-sized critters as companions, weed eaters and milk producers.

Come to class!

I am deeply flattered to have my posts mistaken for dar512's. Thank you for the compliment.

Confused?

You should be.

It's ok dar... 3/5 mbas say that unrequited longing for a goat of one's own can interfere with reading. You should pay a visit to Griff. He's a teacher, for pete's sake!

Problem: Once you've satified your goat craving, its all about the cheese. The Buddha teaches that these cravings are the root of suffering.

BigV · 09-26-2007, 12:43 PM

Indeed.

The founder of The Goat Justice League says she gets a half a gallon of milk *A DAY* from her nanny. She lobbied the city council members by sending them packages of homemade cheese.

Yay Cheese!

The cycle of desire and disillusionment is best exemplified by our relations with our furry brother, the Goatisttava.

You have desire and relations with "our furry brother*?! No wonder you have disillusionment. I suggest you research the word nanny. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Pygmy goats are great pets. No reason not to let people have them if you are going to let people have dogs.

They might be bothersome in a multi-story apartment building, especially with wood floors. But then Nike could develop sneakers, fitted just for little goat feet! They could have pictures of carrots on them.

I don't know if Nike makes them, but there are sneakers for pygmy horses.
