I for one know the secret of the goats. No one is on my tail so they will never get the opportunity to do what they do to those who reveal it. No, no one will sneak up behind my computer and
These days your better enlightened fratboy will use sheep.
So that whole story about grandma and the reindeer was all made up? :eek:
Oh, yeah. You can definitely tell it’s Friday.
Reads thread again. Shakes head.
You just count yourselves as lucky you only have goats.
I still shudder when I think about my Oracle Priesthood initiation.
I’m just going to name two things, and let your imaginations fill in the rest:
Plastic, Inflatable Sheep
and
New Guy
I was always under the impression that Dopers did not start the goat ritual initiation. It was the goats. :eek:
There was only one goat. Once. In 1960, for 20 minutes. Her name was Mariana. And then there was a 1920s-style death ray and Mariana was no more.

The goats are coming! The goats are coming! flees from the hills
Ask not what the goats can do to us; ask, instead, what we can do to the goats.
Oh, I’m sorry: “For.” Ask what we can do for the goats. My bad.
But don’t ask about The Black Goat Of The Forest With A Thousand Young! Iä!
AHunter3 on the AOL SDMB board circa January '98 once foolishly posted:
Note the trailing parenthetical clause. If you do not know about the straw thing, you should really really strongly consider the possibility that you are better off that way.
I still have the email from a Doper answering my unfortunate question backchannel…
And one of the prior posts which prompted my ignorant query in the first place ended with — :
You must understand that this straw-related activity does not intrinsically involve a goat.
The problem, you see, is that it can :eek:
And therein lies the origin of the Ritual of the Goat.
Oh, the goats are ready now? OK, come this way…
In defense of SDMB rituals, I feel compelled to point out that you’re far better using the straw than going with other methods.
I, for one, welcome our new goaty overlords.

Okokokok it was pretty funny.

I for one welcome our new goatse overlords.
We had a Goat at my junior school that was tied to a stake in the middle of a small field, it sure used to terify us kids. I think it escaped one day and penis ensued.
The earliest mention of goats that I could find was back in 1999:

And as you can see, the OP doesn’t even have a name, and has a locked thread. I can only assume the worst.
Penis ensued.
That thread is so old, it should be in black and white, jumpy, and have a hissing popping noise on the soundtrack.
Yeah, back then, Czarcasm was still spelled Tsarcasm, Lynn Bodoni was Lynne Garamond, and Cecil had a big handlebar moustache that he kept heavily waxed. Not that anyone ever saw him back then, either.
