Dances With Goats

Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".

Well, it is probably safer than trying to commune with the grizzlies, like that Treadwell character did.

And yet another example of what is wrong with our society. The wildlife officials are worried for his safety come hunting season? Really???? Really????
This individual is apparently over the age of 18 and has made a conscious decision to engage in behavior that could put him (and only him) in danger. If he finds danger, then so be it. We have to STOP trying so hard save people from their own stupidity. This isn't grabbing someone's arm who's lost in thought and about to walk into traffic. We all make mistakes or do stupid things on occasion. But this is a CHOICE he made. Let him deal with the consequences of it.

That's pretty funny but, I was thinking more of what he would face in competition with the other rams.

Hopefully he can dodge when the rams charge him  =)

I'm wondering if he knows darn well and good that hunting season is coming and that his aim is "save" the goats from the mean hunters.

That's an interesting possibility, but there's just too many types of stupid to really know what he intends to accomplish. We would be here through next season trying to guess what he is doing.   If he doesn't get his butt perforated by some hunter, maybe someday we'll hear what it was.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

I think the real issue facing such a hunter would be whether or not to mount the costume ...

I sincerely hope you mean "have it stuffed" when you say "mount."

Mystery solved.  He's a hunter working on his technique to get close for an archery hunt.  Or so he says ...

I was going to say that he would only feel guilty because he would remember it every time he looked at the trophy on the wall.   :laugh:

His plan is to dress up as a goat during hunting season!? 

"Human existence being an hallucination containing in itself the secondary hallucinations of day and night (the latter an insanitary condition of the atmosphere due to accretions of black air) it ill becomes any man of sense to be concerned at the illusory approach of the supreme hallucination known as death."

If a shepherd gets lonely & "utilizes" a goat....only to find out later that it was a hunter disguised as a goat, is that considered "gay"?.....
