Goats, Threes, and some weird crap about a car.

For some reason, people seem to think that this [news-journalonline.com] has something to do with Dale Earnhardt.

Clearly, this has more to do with finally defining a unit of Goat [goats.com].

Have you seen that Bloom County strip about the potato chip that looked like Elvis? It reminded me of this Dale Earnhardt thing: looking too hard for symbols and signs. Would Dale Earnhardt really have wanted to live on and be remembered through the markings on a goat's coat? Was Dale Earnhardt really worth that much remembering? I guess people must think that the number three never had any other associations, either.

Hmm... and here I assumed that Panties of Potency were there specifically to cover up the strip's unit of goat...

...what is really impressive is the goat born in Essex, England last year that had a '42' on its side.

Also, Philip, if this post can be read by the internet at large then you have successfully fixed the bug.

I think it has more to do with the creative uses of hydrogen peroxide.

In Response to Robonun (#549):

What? It's a Motley Crue [leoslyrics.com] lovin' turbo goat?

Maybe that's why they associated it with the racing guy..

It seems to be a clear indication that Goats have an order in the universe, and they're not shy about letting others know where they are in it.

If the NASCAR fans trip into this site, you guys are gonna be really toasted. I laughed so hard when I saw this article in "Funny Times" that I had to check the net. (Incidentally, my brother in law builds race cars, so I had to pass the site along.
