Goats and Guinness? What's not to like?

http://terracetalkireland.com/articles/puck-fair.htm

"It is said a herd of goats were quietly grazing an a high peak, when suddenly the noisy throng of Cromwell's army shattered their peace. Alarmed and frightened, the goats scattered and ran into the hills- all of them that is except for one brave male which, it is said, instead of fleeing with the rest, ran down the mountain and into Killorglin. The local people on seeing the exhausted goat sensed something was very wrong and so armed themselves with Shillelagh and pitchfork. Whether or not the invasion of Killorglin ever took place remains a mystery, but what did happen on that fateful day back in 1650 was that Killorglin and it's new found hero were given a place in Irish Folklore and have remained there to this day."

Yeay for individualists!

Have one for your favorite goat. (Here's looking at you, Goat Starer!)

Let's crown Goatie the king of the goats!

Hmm, that would be a monarchy. Maybe he wouldn't approve...

That's been happening ever since I saw this marked on the Joomla calendar.

We could nominate Goat to leadership of the Capra proletariat.

i like to think of myself as the borgeois radical inspiration for the proletarian goats. I am currently writing my opus "Das Caprital" (little latin joke there for you!)

Misread that as "Das Copralite". Hope it's more interesting than "Das Kaprotal".
