Either that, or send the kids outside with scissors and promise them five bucks for each Hefty bag they can fill.
No kids, and while there may be a goat-mowing service, I really doubt I could afford it even if I was interested in using it.
Rent-a-Goat is kind of a thing out here. You can book it through Craigslist.

originally, I wanted to visit Wisconsin because I wrote a report on it as a child, and the people at the Wisconsin information bureau were so damn friendly, I had to shake their hands and thank them.

Then, I wanted to visit Wisconsin because cows were there, and I love cows, cheese, and dairy products.

Then, I wanted to visit Wisconsin because it was always winter there, and someone from there mocked my Brooklyn winters ever so politely, and I wanted to go there to see what the hubbub was about and potentially have a war of the winters, until I discovered he wore shorts even in the dead of winter as only a true child of winter could, and so any competition would have to be postponed.

Then, I wanted to visit Wisconsin because I had evidence that the women there were not just lovely but also incredibly well endowed and polite, and I had heard from a reliable source that my black manliness, even set at Steve Urkel levels, would be more than enough to seduce them, and that any faint Fargo-accents would be icing on the cake.

Now, I hear you can rent goats.

RENT.

GOATS.

So they can mow (and fertilize) your lawns FOR YOU.

Clearly, I need to get to Wisconsin POST HASTE.

I really, really do not want to know what you do with your goat, so I am going to say this.

What happens in Wisconsin, stays in Wisconsin!!!

While the dairy products outshine those of all other states (you can actually taste the butterfat in the ice cream), the winters put anything from Doctor Zhivago to shame (we used to take our ice skates to school for recess during the winter because the school custodians kept an ice rink going for us on one of the parking lots), and the women are, in point of fact, built like a brick shithouse (although not unfailingly midwestern polite; much depends on the social situation), I do not know if you can rent goats in Wisconsin. I haven't been there in thirty years. The only place I've seen rent-a-goats was out here in California. Oakland, to be specific.

I have occasionally mused on the thought that, while you will occasionally hear about someone experiencing poetic justice, you can probably live several lifetimes before you hear about someone experiencing onomatopoetic justice. It hardly seems fair.

I'm not sure what that would even sound like, but I'm picturing the old Adam West Batman show....Pow! Blam! Ka-bang!

No, I haven't got to bed yet... I was reading David Gemmell's Troy. It was some time since I read almost the whole book in one night. Almost because I read a bit yesterday... Or rather the day that was yesterday for me.

clearly, you must go into the goat rental business with an eye towards exporting to Wisconsin so I can live my dreams.

What kind of posts do I get deleted you may ask.

Posts about Jughead the Trox's chest appendages.

All because I called them nipple appendages.

Let's see. Do I want to deal with another passive aggressive lecture from Professor Biggus Dickus about stuff he covered in another class I took with him, or ditch and go to my crappy retail job early to spend even more time treading water in a beverage department utterly falling apart and get b~%&!ed at by entitled customers?

Off to work it is, then.

My hair does weird things when I'm sick. Well, it's wavy, so it does weird things most of the time, but it's somehow even less tamable when I'm sick. I tried putting a hat on to keep it out of my way, and bits keep escaping so now I look like I wandered off the set of Les Mis. All I need to do is figure out how to send codes in my knitting....

Man.

It is sometimes really hard to know how to engage a poster who seems like he is trolling, because the alternative is such a phenomenal misunderstanding-leading-to-mischaracterization that it doesn't seem possible. You always want to engage under the presupposition of non-malicious intent, and yet...

Of course, not answering the point allows the blatant mischarscterization stand.

Of course, "Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you will also be like him."

Hhhhhhhuh. "Flag and move on." is older than I thought.

First question; How dare you?

Follow up question; what gives you the right?

New house rule!

Pick a weapon, any weapon at first level. Now you're proficient with it!

Get bored with it, or find a cooler magical weapon later on, swap it out.

You would not believe how many "why can't I use X weapon" "because you're only proficient in simple weapons" discussions this will solve. :-)

I'm not a fan of weapon proficiencies myself. I think i have an okay way of handling them, but this is elegant in its simplicity.

Everything is more interesting if you listen to them.

And I can sing London Bridge is Falling Down. You will regret it more than I. I am the second worst singer in the World.

Your voices must be more cooperative than mine, Kileanna. They're usually fighting with each other.

Unless you're female and from Wisconsin, in which case Freehold wants you to parade around in your knickers and a snowflake-embroidered corset with a tray of pastries, singing to the goats. But only at the top of the thread.

I could tell who is the worst but Dalindra wouldn't be happy so I won't.

My voices fight themselves. If they agreed it wouldn't be interesting at all.

Hello, new person!

Apropos of nothing, a friendly PSA:
REDWOOD TREES AND BACKYARD SWIMMING POOLS ARE NOT A GOOD COMBINATION.
I have spent half of my vacation this week trying to clean up my mother's pool and make it look slightly less like an unholy cauldron of matcha and homebrewed kombucha.
That is, when I haven't been digging dead shrubs out of the front yard or mucking out the horse stables. It's too much for a seventy-year-old woman to handle on her own, even one as hardy as my mother. Wish I lived closer.
Well, almost wish it.

There is no excuse for that. Watch it this weekend.

I have. In Spanish. Sometimes I don't identify the original names.

Was it dubbed in Spanish??

I LOVE Spanish dubbing, it is so cheesy!!!


2 people marked this as a favorite.

I'm disliking dubbed stuff more and more everyday. The more original versions I see the worse dubbed versions seem.
And yes, it's dubbed in Spanish and in Latin. There is a big fight between people who speak Latin Spanish and people who speak Spanish Spanish. Because each one hates the dubbing from the other side xD

When my wife and I first started dating, I would watch telenovelas regularly and explain what was going on to her. It took almost a year before she figured out I didn't speak Spanish...

I am the worst. The. Worst.


8 people marked this as a favorite.

You don't have to speak Spanish to know what happens on a telenovela. You don't even have to watch it to know. They are all just the same.
The woman with all the make up and silicone boobs is evil, she tricks the handsome good man so he dates her and the woman with not so much silicone and a more subtle make up that cries all the time suffers because of it but she gets the handsome man in the end. And the chubby funny low class servant serves as a friend of this second woman just to show how good she is caring so much for a low class person.

The endmore.

Best ever cheesy dubbing: the Japanese-dubbed edition of Highlander. The actor they got to dub over Connery was just plain wrong.

Singing to goats is country livin' 101... don't tell me you don't have a turkey call either... Oh dear, someone needs to get you out to the country.

oh make no mistake, I HATE running with a passion that rivals my hatred for other things. But Spanish dubbing is especially fascinating for it's cheesiness.
