Goats and Trampolines: Together at Last The pictures that accompany this news item about a boy and his pet goats make me so, so happy. Thank you, internets, for bringing such a thing to my attention.

OKAY, THAT'S DEFINITELY DEVIL WORSHIP

You're not kidding. I was expecting your average run-of-the-mill internets funny picture but that is a thing of beauty. (And my new desktop wall paper)

This is great! I'm sending it to everyone who ever owned a goat. Or a kid. Good find.

Also- excellent title.

Cute kid! (Ha, I kill myself!)

I know they're breaking the law, but I hope it gets changed. If that neighbourhood can have pot-bellied pigs, why not pygmy goats?

Awesome. Can I have a goat? And a trampoline?

Goats are loud and they smell. Plus, it sounds like that family has a whole menagerie. I can see where the neighbors would be annoyed.
And is no one spotting that kid on the trampoline? Trampolines are one of the leading causes of serious injury to kids. Putting a horned, hoofed animal on there with him can't help.

My favorite part is the comments section.

CHILDREN ALL REQUIRE SPECIAL ATTENTION WEATHER THE ATTENTION COMES FROM A PARENT OR A GOAT.

But it's hard to find a good nanny.

Also,

I think everyone in that neighborhood should be required to have goats.

Only male goats smell noticeably.

They are loud, but no worse than annoying dog.

If they have loud goats, a loud dog, a loud parrot, and a loud kid, both parents should be executed.

I am just hoping that those are acorns on the trampoline and not goat droppings. Now that I've started to wonder, there is such tension! The sock feet mid-air, coming to land on -- it couldn't be that!

I'd like to propose a new mefi euphemism; instead of talking about someone "shitting in the thread" can we now call it "leaving acorns on the trampoline"? I love that.

*jumps on trampoline, is attacked by flying acorns* - Ow!

Thank you, freshwater pr0n. I clicked the link 10 minutes ago and am still laughing with utter delight.
