Own a goat farm, job is financial planning.

So, the whole goat thing is a "labor of love"?

You're just trying to get his goat.

Well that was nerve wracking. I'm in the middle of a call with a customer, making some fund suggestions, and the video guy comes in my office and starts taping me. The top guys in the company will all be watching me and hearing my mutual fund banter. I'm fully expecting "correction" calls from the experts.



Sheesh.

And, actually, we sold our last goat this past weekend. Were gonna put the farmhouse on the market and rebuild a log home.

I shall have to reconsider my moniker, as I'm currently goatless. We also sold the sheep and horse. All we have now are 20 chickens, two huge dogs and a cat that I cannot convince to live elsewhere.

I get up with the sun just like the rooster. My wife takes care of it by telling me to go pee.

I think you should be either

"Goatless"

or

"20 Chickens"

Oh, and I left out some 300,000 honeybees. Beekeeper would work.

No, then I'd start associating you with Blind Melon's Beegirl.



Not a good thing.

You mean then you won't be attracted to him any more?

Peon 6,073 11
03/22/2001 02:54 AM

Of course I'd still be attracted to him. Alot.



But the whole bee suit thing just doesn't help.

how about "Birds and the bees"

brother bill 1,905 11
03/22/2001 02:55 AM

or "Rooster in the hen house."

brother bill 1,905 11
03/22/2001 02:56 AM

or better yet "Brother bill needs to shut the hell up before he embarasses himself, wait too late."

Stick with "20 Chickens." Gary Larson recognized the innate humor value of chickens.



And it has a nice ring to it.

Maybe in a while you'll be "19Chickens" and then "18Chickens, baby needs a new pair of shoes" and then "17 Chickens and my belly's full" and then "16 chickens, that one just wasn't laying any more"...

Some n00b was complaining about us making fun of her dad and started a whole thread on it. We kept up with said making fun until out of nowhere CG posted a long story about a WW2 war hero story and said that person described in the story was QuikSilverGirl's dad at the end.

Then the thread basically turned into Chuck Norris-isms about her father.

But we had pissed her off too much by that point so she didn't get to see what the thread turned into at the end I think.
