If you need more celebrity endorsements, on page 181 of
Why Do Men Have Nipples? [amazon.com] Mark Leyner proclaims, "I love goat and all things goat."
For those unaware, Mark Leyner, the splendid author of fine literature like
Et Tu, Babe [amazon.com] and
The Tetherballs of Bougainville , writes with "the copulatory abandon of the headless praying mantis" about visceral tattoos, self-surgery clinics, and egomaniacal self-puffery. For me, his nearest literary comp is
Our Favorite Stripper's classic Readme columns [goats.com], but with a manifold increase of the grotesque vocabulary and meglomania, while retaining all the funny.
Speaking of which, i still maintain that Jon's Readmes are better than the comic strip, but apparently i'm the only one and thus he's continued down the wrong creative path. Sigh.
