Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think I'd have to bactrack further in the thread than I have the energy for to have the random outbursts of ASSCAP song lyrics make sense. I'm OK with that.
I don't think it's actually possible to backtrack far enough for it to make sense.
My mother called me at 8:45 this morning to ask a question I already answered about something I marked in a catalog as something I might like for Christmas. @@

Hee. Watching an animal show on goats. They're showcasing the "fainting goat" which has a (painless, harmless) condition that makes its legs lock up at random moments and it just topples to the ground. So funny. They're all just running around a field and then every so often one of them will just go ass over teakettle and lie there for a moment and then jump up and race off to catch up with the others again.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Kinda like that narcoleptic dog? [link]
Also, that reminded me of:
Notice they don't so much fly as plummet.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

It's probably taking a moment to think, "Thank crap I'm not a mountain goat."

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I'm thinking that Darwinian selection would weed that particular trait out of mountain goats really quickly.

IIRC, fainting goats were an accident of selective breeding, not a natural mutation. They're mostly bred now to be sold to sheep farms with coyote problems.

What, so the coyotes get the goats instead of the sheep? That's appalling. Unless it's so the coyotes can't hunt for laughing, which would be my problem in that situation.

Yup.
[eta that they apparently also make good eating. So they're not all being used as wolf-bait.]
