We love goats

Time to remind all of you of the fact that we love goats.

No, not in the way you think - that might be something for these people:

[DISCLAIMER: I do not wish to suggest that these people are involved with goats. For all I know they hate goats with a passion, or in a few cases perhaps worship them as reincarnated deities. Lord knows, there is no evidence that I know of that shows ANY of them anywhere near goats at any time! No goats were harmed in any way in putting this post together, and the linking of the names below with any activity meant to involve, probably involving, possibly involving, or even tangentially related to goats by the reader would be irresponsible and unwarranted. Maybe even sick. I don’t know. Okay?!?]

All of whom apparently endorsed last year's call to boycott Israeli goods and commit chicken-shit acts of vandalism provided no one was looking.

[Please stop thinking about goats. This post is NOT about goats. Really!]

A rousing thankyou to the person who told me what 'bakrichot' means.
My vocabulary has been immeasurably enriched, as well as my understanding of other cultures.
[Baa. Baa. Baa!]

  1. Taking the bait:
    What does "bakrichot" mean?

  2. Someone who has sexual intercoarse with goats. Not, you understand, always goats of a gender opposite to the intercoursers own.

    I've heard it's quite the doen thing among frustrated Moroccans in Europe and married men in Delhi. The phrase in which it occured was "sab pakistan min bakri chot hey".

    Then they eat them.

  3. I'm confused. Don't you eat them before?
    Isn't that foreplay?
