Coincidence?

I found this story in our 'other news' section.

"VANDALS yesterday set alight a giant straw goat erected by merchants in a Swedish town to mark the festive season. The fire was the 21st time the goat in Gaevle has been burned since it was first built in 1966.

The 1976 goat was hit by a car. In 1997, it was damaged by fireworks, and from 1998 to 2001 it was set ablaze."

Now, does anybody else find it curious that Wen hasn't been around? I know she said she had to go 'out of town' for a few days... I wonder if she was 'out of town' in '76, '97, '98, and 2001 about this time of year too?

Mike,

Surely we take these "Split Personalities" in stride around here by now!

LOL

This vegetarian thing has gone to far this time.

I think we should start asking her for alibis. Good eye, Mike.

Okay.....that's it, the truth is out!! How did you find that story Mike and why are you telling everyone??? Sheesh! Can't keep a secret around here at all! How many other skeltons are you going to pull out of the closet?

Try to "go into hiding" for a week, or so, and you manage to find out exactly what I am up to. I'll have to be doublely next time. ;)

Yay, she's back :O))))))))))))

Don't ever leave us again like that, first we get worried, then all sorts of weird thoughts creep into our minds.

Oh ya, that is normal haha.

I mean weird thoughts about you.... oh ...ah..

Yay, she's back :O))))))))))))

Call it weird if you want...

I call it connecting the dots.

Trans-Atlantic goat arson... but I'm the weird one?

Whatever helps you sleep at night I guess...

LMAO! Good one, jawn_tech.

Maybe it started when she was little and she was petting a billy-goat and its 'ba-a-a-a' scared her.

They have have self help groups for this sort of thing, wen :O)

Did you know goats are vegetarians? Well, they eat old tin cans, but they are gentle creatures.

She just has a low tolerance for old goats. Better watch out, mikmik

Yuk, yuk :O)

When I was growing up we had one really mean billy goat that would chase everyone! I never liked that goat. The smaller ones were sweet though. Maybe that is why I "kid" around so much? ;)
