What, you think if we post about fucking sheep or goats or whathaveyou we’ll get some very strange porn ads? I wish. Naw, all I see is typical scum-of-the-earth con-man fodder selling mailing lists and “Area Code Targeted Leads”. I mean, really, do honest people _ever_ run (or respond to) these ads? ---

I have a question about goats, sheep and badgers. I’ve been thinking about getting a pet—a goat, or a sheep, or a badger—and I thought you dopers could help me out. If I get a goat (as opposed to a sheep or a badger), would it smell as bad as, worse, or better than a sheep or a badger? If I get a goat, rather than a sheep or a badger, should it be and an inside goat, or an outside goat. How does an inside goat compare to an inside sheep or badger? If I get an inside badger—and not an inside goat or sheep—what kind of badger litter do you recommend? If I get a sheep (overlooking the possibility of a goat or badger), should I have it de-hoofed? That is, if it’s an inside sheep (and not an inside badger or goat). My SO says we should get both a sheep and a badger (but not a goat), but I say the sheep and badger would fight (with or without a goat). Any doper households out there with a sheep and a badger that get along? What’s the trick? Is it necessary to get a goat, as well? Will a badger walk on my keyboard? Do sheep need flea baths? Should I give my goat canned or dry food? Okay, guys, any suggestions? Thanks! ---

Maybe we should try reverse psychology and ask for information about mailing lists, or confuse it by asking for mailing lists about goats. ---

Persistent isn’t it? You get the eerie feeling Google knows something we don’t? Maybe whether we realize it or not what we all really need are ailing-may ist-lays. I have to sit down and think about this. I’ve never needed one up until now, but I suppose someday it’s possible… you never know when you have to do a ass-may ailing-may do you? Could happen anytime. ---

> [@guizot](#): > > I have a question about goats, sheep and badgers. Thanks! I’m not sure what would be more funny: 1. You meant this as a joke in the spirit of the thread (very funny) 2. You mean for this to be its own thread (excruciatingly funny) PS.
