You just can't make this stuff up!  I can't wait for the responses, especially as that is NOT where the goat lives, based on his last escape from home.

Or we didn't want to complain (being new neighbors) but your grass needs mowing so we left an eco friendly lawn mower for you. Goat will come home when full.

You guys are good!  Or bad, which is good.  Not unexpectedly, the whole thing ended up in name calling about folks dragging the neighborhood property values down, etc.  Goats and other livestock are as illegal as hell in the city limits, but I personally prefer a goat to many of my neighbors.  I've never had a goat or any other animal get drunk, beat up anyone, steal my porch plants or shoot off fireworks or guns. The only real problem is that this goat, like all of his kind, likes to jump up on car hoods and that's hard on the paint and sets off the car alarm.  

We all just sort of ignore the "illegal" livestock around here.  One pot-bellied pig named Oliver is quite famous and has been returned to his home by our private security patrol numerous times.  I've seen the photos - the family dresses Oliver and all the kids in matching outfits for the family Christmas card and it's adorable.

I've seen goats and sheep chowing down on the grass in parks within the city limits.

If you have a lot of underbrush or an overgrown lawn or other out-of-control greenery, you can rent goats from Amazon to come and take care of the problem.

Don't ask.

So this thread send me looking at my Nextdoor group.

There is this one guy that send out a message two days ago urging everyone to come by his booth tomorrow during a local October Fest and sign his recall petition to recall our governor. One of the people had the "gall" to respond by asking why he wanted the governor recalled.  And this is where it gets good (and I swear on my mother's grave I am not making this up): the OP answered by saying "why don't you google him and you'll see why we need to recall this guy".

I mean it must be hard to come up with a more persuasive argument that that right?

For the record: the governor has only been in office since January, won with 62% of the vote and there are no scandals or anything that are attached to him. And he is very popular in this state → yet doofus wants to get people to sign his petition with such a well formed non-argument

I would enjoy the goat too, either for lawn maintenance or curry.  Don't ask either

I would love to have been a fly on the wall of his booth and see how many signatures he got.

Meh. I'm too lazy/tired. I did not even go to the Octoberfest even though I had planned to do so
