A Weekend of Weirdness
Digg It!
On Saturday, the Philly City League is hosting a Rock Paper Scissors Tourney at Campbell's Field in Camden Saturday at 3 p.m. Here are more details. Free beer from 4-6 p.m. Baseball, beer, and rock paper scissors. Doesn't get much better than that.
Speaking of beer, the annual goat races at Sly Fox are this weekend. I went last year, and it was a blast. I highly suggest it. Also, does anyone know where I can get a goat to be a competitor? No, seriously. Does anyone know where I can get a goat?
The Montreal Canadians' goalkeeping corps?
or
Italian market. Unless you need a live one. Best bet for that is the zoo. You could probably nab a cougar or gibbons monkey and throw a wig on it. Nobody would be the wiser.
I think you can legally keep goats within the city limits. Not sheep for some reason. There is a house on McCallum St in Mt Airy that used to have goats. Door to door may take a bit too much time so hit up the old Google Earth and search for the yard with nothing but half eaten dirt in it.
I once read a study that suggested one in every five housewives living on the Delmarva peninsula is actually a goat. Perhaps you could phone home.
I actually do know a person who keeps goats. She loves animals of all sorts and she loves her goats. Because she is an animal lover and a goat lover she would never allow them to be made a spectacle of in a goat race. It occurs to me that a goat race constitutes abuse of animals. I don't think you're a horrible person, Mr. Goodtimes, but I do think you haven't given this particular matter the thought that it deserves. Sorry to ruin your fun, but maybe you should consider giving the goat race a pass.
Where's PETA when we need them?
why? they let people race. It's like cockfighting - out come the hand wringers whenever their precious Darwinism shows nature's true face. You don't see deer out protesting when the bears are eating the innocent salmon.
Also - they're goats. Lighten up.
I'm already lightened up enough, Whippet. I recognize that nature is "red in tooth and claw," and that there are far more serious abuses in the world, many of which involve the abuse of human beings. I really do not, however, see the point of traumatizing a bunch of goats by making them race to entertain a beer-swilling crowd. And I have nothing against beer-swilling crowds. I just don't think that they shoudl get their entertainment from the exploitation of animals.
You could always just get a dog and tape some horns to his head. But this is very important -MAKE SURE IT'S A GOAT THAT KIND OF RESEMBLES A DOG.
The natural food chain is just that, natural. Using and abusing animals, who have no say in the matter, for the sheer fun of abusing animals is not. It's only fun for beer swilling morons, you beer swilling moron. Not that there's anything wrong with beer-swilling morons per se.
"Gargoyle." What a lovely name! If I ever have children, I'm definitely going to name my first born "Gargoyle."
BTW, this sort of lively exchange of information and opinions is exactly what the great Algore had in mind when he invented the internet.
It's probably an inopportune time to be in the goat racing promotion business what with the death of that horse over the weekend in the Derby. Hopefully none of the goats had to be euthanized on Saturday.
