They can't be that weak hearted can they?

they make good eating apparently!

You haven't seen them before? Apparently they have a genetic defect that causes all their muscles to freeze up when they get scared It passes within seconds and they're not harmed.

The same happens to me when approached by an overweight farmer with an umbrella

eraclito said:

I keep the sheep in the bedroom.... silly

Steadwood said:

i was under the impression you were leaving the bedroom fallow this year..

sorry

eraclito said:

I was

...but with the camels in the hallway it left just the kitchen and the bathroom

...and I like to eat and shit in peace

...er...not at the same time of course

Steadwood said:

i guess there is a lesson to be learnt here, not sure what exactly... maybe one shouldn't try keeping goats, camels and sheep in a one bedroom apartment..

so where do you keep the armadillos ?

eraclito said:

It's got me baffled too

I had to lock them in the closet... they kept getting under the feet

freaking armadillos, give them an inch and they take a mile

I used to know legislator in my state who raised them. Every so often, he'd bring one of the kids (ie, a baby goat) to the Capitol so people could see it. If you walked up to it and said, "Boo!" it'd just go stiff and fall down like it was dead.

eraclito said:

Never had goat yet... LOVELOVELOVE lamb though even though my bf tells me I'm a babykiller

Now, as for pets... a girl at my agricultural high school had one but it kept escaping all the goddamned time and was constantly in the way of you when you were driving tractors, horses or whatever It prolly only did that cos it was alone, it should have been kept with the sheep cos they don't like being alone. So you gotta have at least two for them to be happy and.... well, not my kinda pet.

Teacher said:

its true they are very social.. if you ever get the chance stroke one, and see what it does when you walk away..

just dont turn you back on it..

eraclito said:

Especially when they team up with the Zebras

...(I keep them in the loft)

eraclito said:

If I get a chance I'll KICK one, how about that?

ZombieKitten said:

to some people that right there is a very sacred fawn

Steadwood said:

I swear there are associations for EVERYTHING...

Steadwood said:

damn those zebras ....

Teacher said:

and why would u kick a goat, heidi's grandpapa would not be impressed

and think about poor peter...

eraclito said:

Heidi's grandpapa

Why NOT kick a goat? They're annoying as hell. Of course I'm just kidding, but I can dream about it.
