I think they are being told to but out.
About this blog…
“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

Now, if we could just bring this goat and the JAC puppet crowd together…
Well, it has no horns. The great thing about horns is that you can grab hold of them and control the goat. The bad thing about horns is that they’re pointy.
The bad thing about no horns is that there’s not anything handy to grab hold of.
How dumb are some people? By repeatedly kicking at it, all they’re doing is provoking it to fight back.
Ears. And there’s a perfectly good collar to grab as well.
Just get the rope from the trunk of the car and tie him to that handy tree. Problem solved.
(doesn’t everybody have a couple lengths of rope in the car?)
Perhaps we could catch one of the goats and release it every time one of the LCWR nuns escort someone to an abortion clinic? Or when there are puppets gathering in the sacristy? :)
He probably spent too much time playing Goat Simulator.
That’s gruff!
I wouldn’t blame the animal. It may have been abused as a kid.
This goat would make a great archbishop!
Did anyone think of just telling the goats ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into everlasting fire’?
Or in Brazilian-Portuguese: ‘Malditos! Apartai-vos de mim. Ide para o fogo eterno, preparado para o Diabo e os seus anjos.’
I have a feeling the goat might not be as compliant as in the Matthew 25 parable. What do goats speak? Caprese, I suppose…
I can’t believe that goat hasn’t wisened up yet! Disgrace. And the Oxbow incident…
We filled our bellies with goat meat.
Our bodies sluggish with goat meat.

I’m no expert on goats, but might that be, not a billy goat, but a nanny goat protecting her kid? No horns, after all —
Billy goats and Nanny Goats on our border patrols please ! Arriba! And yes, I am on the goat’s side. Anybody kicked me, I would be head-butting angry too.
At least it wasn’t a bull.
All those people using camera phones are risking dropping and breaking them. They should invest in a GOatPRO.
