I got eight goats answering as myself. I then got seven goats answering as the most submissive, eager, female I could think of. This says something about either me or the trustworthiness of this quiz, I'm not sure which.

So shouldn't I get double the goats to take both sisters? I want 16 goats if I'm gonna have to deal with two woman damnit! And a pony

Y'all are doin' it all wrong. Who wants goats and sisters? You have to find a place for them, a big place, with grass and tin cans and stuff. And a fence, you have to have a fence, and they keep you up a night too. Not to mention the insurance for when they bite little Billy from down the road on his arm and it swells up into something even the doctor cringes at. No thanks.

I'm fairly annoyed that this quiz says a woman's "desperate years" start seven years before a man's. I'm even more annoyed that I'm annoyed by anything having to do with an internet quiz about goat-worth. Anyway. 10 goats. "Desperate" years . Piano. Let all 98 die. Whatever I'm hungry for. etc. Sounds like some kind of bizarre code. "How many goats?" "Piano." "Let all 98 die, then."

quin: I'm worth 5. But they are all in trees, and that is awesome. Yes - unless they do not so much fly, as plummet.

I wanna know about this 9 goats + brother thing vs. 10 goats. I mean, is there something wrong with the brother? Or maybe there's something wrong with that tenth goat....Can you trade the defective brother for another goat or a guinea pig or something?

Collectively, this stream of comments is several orders of magnitude more funny/interesting than getting to the goatcount. But you all knew that, right?

9 goats here even though I'm in my desperate years. I think it was due to my willingness to send a boatload of strangers to their deaths to save my loved one.

So you have to let the other 98 people drown to be worth ten goats? Is that the message here? That NINETY EIGHT PEOPLE ARE EQUAL TO TWO EXTRA GOATS ON YOUR DOWRY?!?!? Oh. Okay, then.

By: hurdy gurdy girl

hurdy gurdy girl — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 20:39:04 -0800

Nah, I decided to have it both ways by saving my loved one AND punching out anyone who tried to tell me I couldn't save the other 98 as well. I'm still a 10-goater. And I got the Natalie Portman thing too. Considering that yesterday I was laughing at the Manic Pixie Dream Girl article, that was a little sobering.

I got ten goats, also well into "the desperate years," and I'll all 99 people while enjoying a nice steak. I've promised myself I'll only take serious offers if the dowry includes at least 90% fainting goats.

Chose To Kill a Mocking Bird but was leary because it doesn't take a week to read To Kill a Mocking Bird. Also, I chose that "they always send a guy when the bus breaks down." When it comes to a dowry, is taking the bus a good thing? eight goats and the sister thrown in. ahh yeah

Only 6 goats. But that still means I'm more than half of George Clooney! What I find interesting is that we've discovered that Clooney/Portman is worth 10 goats. So can I give The Heifer Project $1,200 and have them send a Natalie Portman clone to some starving villagers? Will I get regular letters from the people I'm helping in LA or Bollywood describing how the Natalie Portman I sent them has brought in acting revenue allowing them to buy a new water system or educate their children?

By: dabitch

dabitch — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 23:41:17 -0800

9 goats. Was it the getting up on the bus, watching TV at night, organic meal or pen and paper for the week alone I wonder. Or the fact that I'd save my loved and punch anyone else out?

I got a "9/10" "almost the most beautiful woman here" thingy. I thought it might be my career (lawyer/doctor), my diplomacy (I'd breathe slowly and pray for a quick exit), my fashion sense (flowy n elegant), my free time (dinner with friends, social), or my choice in the empty room (paper n pen) but considering that I am in my desperate years, I think it may come down to my utter lack of familiarity with Facebook.
