Bah, and I just read the rest of the thread. What is it with goat felching. Duke of Rat mentioned it too. I must be getting whooshed since I can’t imagine that as a pleasurable past time. Although, I think it was here on the weird things you’ve found thread that someone found a goat/sheep castrating manual that had pictures of a guy biting off their testicles? You guys are weird.
Im sad now 
The real owners came around earlier to day and took her home!
It was so cute! Baaaaah, maybe my dad will go buy one now!
Luckily it never ate any of our clothes, and only pooped on the deck once!
My co-worker (whom is a chef) repeatedly told me to give him the goat so he could eat it! Sick! How could anyone eat such an innocent animal?
tomndebbThe goat had big floppy ears that hang on the side, it was black and white and about 2 feet high at the head.
Necromancer: You rock!
What does felching mean? :rolleyes:
Well, you asked. TMI alert:
Felch Verb. To lick or suck one’s recently deposited semen from the rectum, or more recently the term has applied to such actions involving the vagina. [1960s]
Um, gross?
Why would someone even invent a term for that?
yuck.
And goat felching regularly comes up in pit threads as a term of abuse (hence my earlier question).
Oh, and dorkusmalorkusmafia I’ve met guys who used to use the 'dental method 'of sheep castration back in the old days before teh invention of the rubber ring. Some old fashioned farmers still use a cut throat razor and cook up the mountain oysters later…
God help you, dear.
I hope you have nose plugs handy? If not, nevermind. Ignore me for now, you’ll find out soon enough.
Oh, and keep anything you want to salvage far FAR away from the goat’s enclosure. They will eat ANYTHING in their general vicinity. Trust me. 
They are cute, though. I’ll give them that.
Owning a goat does NOT mean that you automatically get promoted to Moderator or any sort of SDStaff position, even though we DO require newcomers to provide their own goats these days, ever since JillGat curried our Staff Goat.
Consider yourself lucky that it was taken away. That, there, was a Nubian. They are the LOUDEST and second most obnoxious breed of goat in the world (La Manchas being the second loudest and most obnoxious).
If you are struck with insanity at some point and simply must get a goat, look for one of the various Alpine breeds (they all have upright ears). As bad as they may be, they are simply not as loud and obnoxious.
Goats & the SDMB.
My, my, my.
The memories that brings back.
Got any PVC pipe?
I feel a yen for the Final Frontier.
What? 
Funny… I’d always thought a kudzu was some kinda goaty/llamaesque (sadly, probably the last time I’ll ever get to type llamaesque) creature… so I thought you meant the goats were eating other goaty things.
Targets in Orlando are nowhere near as goaty, although closer to the redneck Riviera you’ll start seeing Dale Jr. fans that often seriously resemble satyrs…
You’re kidding. I first looked at this thread, because I decided a few weeks ago to put a goat in the (x-files) fic I’m writing because I wanted something silly to be investigated. The person who owns the goat is upset because she claims it talks. When asked why she keeps it, she claims its her business partner in an environmentally friendly lawn trimming service. People do that for real?! I’ve only seen one attempt (on a segment last summer for The-N) of getting one to trim a lawn and it didn’t look successful. Who’d of thought…
This is the 21st Century. Nothing is so strange or so scary that somebody, somewhere isn’t doing it, or at least trying to.
You’re thinking of a kudu.
Did anyone else open this thread expecting it to be about a Pontiac?
This seems like an appropriate thread in which to quote one of my favorite passages from Bridge of Birds:
I will leave it to all of you to imagine why Master Li needed a goat…or you could read the book. 
Yeah, I know. Usually only the guilty ones are eaten. After a proper trial with a jury of their peers, tho’.
I’ve read it. It’s Grand!
Have you read the two sequals? There’s an omnibus edition out that has all 3, plus illustrations from Kaja Foglio!
As a matter of fact, Bosda, I have the omnibus right here on my desk at the office. I reread it during lunch breaks this week. Bridge is the best, although I like the other two as well.
I bet Teelo didn’t threaten to sell the goat for dog food and return to the Glittering Glades of Golden Grain for a better one. Softy. 
elfkin For real.
What I find very funny, noting your location, is the company who leases the sheep to our city, Belwether Solutions… is located in Concord, NH.
