Mysterious barrel of goat semen

Scylla is behind all this this somehow…

Strange cargo found in forest

Stumped officials try to find out who dropped off 55 gallons of goat semen in Cook County preserve

My favorite part of that story involver the “proper disposal.”

Are there a lot of satisfied mama-to-be she-goats and sows in the S. burbs today?

Damn, I though astro was bucking for the highest thread views to replies ratio prize.

I think the article must be slightly inaccurate – the only way to read this is a 55 gallon drum filled with dry ice and a much smaller canister of goat semen. Because even though goats are notoriously horny, I don’t think anyone has the free time it would take to, um, acquire 55 gallons of goat sperm and then just toss it out.

Truth is, indeed, stranger than fiction.

Sorry, that was me. I was saving it in case my parts stopped working before I had kids. Now that I have kids I don’t need it anymore.

I’m sorry, could you have that delivered to my apartment. We’re doing that “Things Jarbaby Bathes In” photo shoot this weekend.

Goat felching without the goat?

Isn’t “mysterious barrel of goat semen” inherently redundant? Or are there mundane barrels of goat semen out there which I’m not aware of? :eek:

“What’s that?”
“Eh, it’s just another barrel of goat semen. Don’t pay it no mind.”

What would the offspring of a pig and a goat be, anyway?

A poat. Or maybe a gig.

Why did I open this thread?

That must be the wierdest news story I’ve seen in some time.

[scr4]

The company ships pig and boar semen in canisters, which in turn are placed in large drums filled with liquid nitrogen. The liquid nitrogen keeps the semen at the optimal temperature so it can be shipped long distances and used for artificial insemination

So the title of the article is misleading; it may look like a 55-gallon drum on the outside, but probably a liquid nitrogen dewar with a few gallons of liquid nitrogen and a tiny test tube of semen.

Or are there mundane barrels of goat semen out there which I’m not aware of?

I’m sure there are - semen of farm animals are transported for artificial insemination all the time.

Ain’t modern science grand?

[Mac_Guffin]

Hey, that’s nuthin. I used to handle ten-gallon containers of HUMAN semen all the time.

Of course, I was a Clinic courier back then, and about 9.8 gallons of that was liquid itrogen, but…
Never mind…

[Mac_Guffin]

Nitrogen even… sheesh.

For days now, I have seen the title of this thread and wondered what it could be about…I finally gave in and I just had to open it!!

And it is truly about a mysterious barrel of goat semen. Of course all the best barrels of goat semen are mysterious.

(that’s what I have said every day upon seeing this title, oh it keeps me amused and off the streets I suppose:o )
