You can’t have the goat yet, guys and dolls. We’re still on our honeymoon. What? Don’t you know what happens when you get a cat, a goat and a 500 gallon vat of custard together? Pure bliss, that’s what! 😃 ---

That’s why I need the extra $20.00. After all, we can’t welcome a new member with a goat who’s in need of grooming, can we? ---

After all, we can’t welcome a new member with a goat who’s in need of grooming, can we? I am really sorry, I guess they didn’t tell you - that goat was launched into space years ago. We as a board need to do a better job controlling out goat expenditure. Welcome to the boards **mrald** , I too as most people here accept paypal ---
