I feel strangely compelled to urinate on the side of said goat.

There are so many '3' stickers emblazoned on vehicles of all kind around these parts (meaning most of the USA), I can only imagine seeing a goat sticker pop up just below the gun rack of thousands, nay millions of pickup trucks across the fruited plain.

A four-month-old goat with a curious birthmark has fans of the late racing star Dale Earnhardt flocking to a north Florida farm to pay homage.

What's that? You say sports is the New American Religion? Get outta town.

this story completely defies any comprehensible comments.

Damn. I was scanning, and I read "Amelia Earhart appears..." Would have been more interesting.

Just another ignorant fool trying to cash in on the death of a Real American Hero. I pity whoever falls for this cheap stunt.
In other news, this photo was taken last week. I think it's for real.

I think even vegans will agree this one should be roasted and eaten forthwith.

Come on, that looks nothing like a racing car. I bet there isn't even a 3 on the other side.

I misread that headline as "Dale Earnhardt Appears In Goatse's Birthmark."

I need to spend less time at Fuckedcompany.

Actually, this goat has nothing at all to do with Dale Earnhardt.. It's a marketing ploy for White Wolf's new expansion for Vampire: the Eternal Struggle (there's a little white 3 on all the new vampires. causing a little bit of controversy about its meaning).

Not to be a troll, but what is it about auto racing that is particularly heroic? Is it the whole bread and circuses thing? Earnhardt was a respected sportsman but nothing more unless I missed the part about saving children from flaming buildings or making the world safe for democracy.

This is beyond Frak.
This is embarrassing.

If you believe that Dale was not a hero, you are a terrorist. Dale Earnhardt is a symbol for our hope, our future, our dreams as a country. Earnhardt was a man who you could point out to your children and say, "That, my child, is a REAL man." Dale was much more than just a hero. Dale was the closest thing to God we will ever meet in human form.

I'm hoping it was allergies. Seriously.

I just can't help thinking of this.

I have a wallhanging (actually several) where, if one gazes into it, once sees a striking image of oneself!! But I can't convince news teams to come witness the miracle.

Hemingway: "There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely games."

Let's just hope that when they do bring Lil' Dale to the track, he doesn't become another example of "the reshaping of the human body through modern technology," like Big Dale...

Oops, I meant she. Lil' Dale is a nanny! Sorry about that, Lil' Dale! (Kids are so sensitive about these things.)

bradth27, I don't understand why it's always Jesus's face that appears on burritos and garage doors and whatnot. Why not his foot, or his thumb?

Does Krishna's face appear in India?

I'd like a cat with the image of pi to a couple hundred significant digits in its fur. That would be cool.

"Oh, yeah, and that other one...I always forget the name...where you put the shotgun in your mouth?"

Well, because we all know what Jesus looked like in the face... you know, good old caucasian Jesus with the long hair and the nice beard.... but would you recognize his foot? Hell, I would just think my wife stepped on the groceries.
But...you may have a point. Jesus may have been showing up on various items for years now, just waiting for one of us to recognize his toe.
Interesting.
As for the cat, I don't know. But I do know that on some brown or black rabbits, you can shave their hair, pack the bald spot with an ice pack, and it will grow back white. So, maybe we can do some really good shaving and come up with an instant money maker. I'm thinking of something along the lines of "Hi, My name is Kurt, and Courtney did it."
I think we may be on to something here.
posted by bradth27 at 9:10 PM on July 6, 2002


actually, wait, that's the other way around..... the white hair will grow back dark if the rabbit is kept cooler....
Oh to hell with it. It's late.
I'm going to go buy a Himalayan rabbit now, and a 12 pack of razors. I'll get back to you on the results.
