[PaperBagHead]

So I just opened my front door to unplug my Christmas lights, and to what should my wondering eyes did appear? A mf'in goat, and his vicious bodyguard.

wtf?

I could take a similar picture any day of the week.

I live on a horse farm.

What's your deal?

I live on a horse farm.

What's your deal?

I live in the suburbs, not on a horse farm.I opened my front door and the goat and the dog were standing on my front porch, just staring at me. The dog then started barking, and the goat walked right up to me, sniffed at our fake poinsettia, then turned around and walked away.

I ran in and woke up my wife, because I have freaking livestock on my porch, and then grabbed my phone/camera. When I went back out, they were still there, then on my sidewalk, and then started moving off toward the main road next to my house.

I didn't know what to do, but I didn't want them to get hit by a car, so I grabbed my car keys and went looking for them. I spotted them in the yard of a house down the street, and pulled over about 200 yards farther down the road, where there was a turning lane. As soon as I got out of the car, they both came running toward me, with the dog barking aggressively the whole time.

Still not knowing what to do, I just stood there next to my car, and whenever the goat made a move to cross the road, I shooed him back. The downside to this plan was that every time I advanced toward the goat, the dog got more pissed off. This went on for a good ten minutes. I was really hoping a cop would drive by, but no luck. I finally got to the point where I felt like the dog was becoming a serious threat, so I got back in the car, and drove down the street to where there are two gas stations, hoping that a cop would happen to be at one or the other, but no luck. Then when I went back in the direction of the animals, and my house, the animals were gone. I circled around a couple of times, but couldn't find them.

It was just so strange how they were clearly travelling together and how protective the dog was of this goat. Overall, just a bizarre experience.

 

[PaperBagHead]

It's surreal moments like this that give life some of its best meaning.

Why else do all of us drink if not to hopefully force crazy events like these into happening by virtue of the radically distorted perspective a real A-class drinking fest can bring on?

And you got it for free, you lucky *******, courtesy of a suburban goat and its canine lover.

ETA: I'd like to apologize for the rambling second sentence here. Been reading a lot of DFW lately.

This year for Christmas, my brother wanted to know what to get me and I really had no idea what to tell him. So I finally told him to make some sort of donation in my name. So he paid for a goat in my name to send to some starving family.You're welcome, you ungrateful ####.

Is it possible to still be hungover from Saturday night, or am I just slowly dying? I hope I don't die, I'd like to live a really really long life like Tanner has.

Work X-Mas party Saturday night: It's kind of a blur, but I do remember participating in a Flash Mob, drinking heavily, taking over the DJ duties and playing ACDC and then doing my best Angus Young impersonation, stole a roll of toilet paper from the bathroom (because I could) and doing the Tebow genuflect/prayer thing several times. Thanks to a new guy that started a couple months ago, my performance seems to be forgotten by everyone at work since the only thing people are talking about is how this new guy got wasted, danced ALL night while grabbing his crotch and yelling profanities and then threw up in the parking lot. I think I'm going to have to start hanging out with this guy, the force seems to be strong with him.

Stafford and Ten D easily. No idea on your RB situation.Please see mine:

Current WRs:

Greg Jennings

Brandon Lloyd

Damian Williams

Denarius Moore

Darrius Heyward-Bey

Riley Cooper

I'm looking at these guys available:

Jacoby Ford

Doug Baldwin

Randall Cobb

Mario Manningham

Demaryius Thomas

Titus Young

Kevin Walter

Which of these guys would benefit me the most? I am thinking Ford and Baldwin. Cobb makes me nervous with so many weapons on that team.

Obviously I can drop Jennings and Cooper. Also can drop Denver D and maybe Forte but I am not sure if he has a chance to be back week 16. I may take a stab at Felix since he was dropped a few weeks ago, but not sure if I would ever play him as I have Foster and Lynch.

The Oakland situation makes me nervous. With Moore's injury and the carousel of time the players see every week, I'd stay away. Young, Manningham, and Cobb are all seeing too few looks to be a safe play IMO so I'd stay away there. Why not consider Thomas? The past two weeks he should have had 4 TDs and they play one of the worst secondaries in the league this week. I'd pick up him and Baldwin. I also like Andre Roberts from Arizona.

You should go get Baldwin right now. Cobb is obviously a boom or bust guy, but with Jennings out, his odds of a boom just went up. I just picked Thomas up - two great games since he got back, even if he is catching passes from Mike Alstott.

I've got Ford, and I'd be really hard pressed to play him first game off an injury in the playoffs. I'd MUCH rather have Baldwin, and I'd start Thomas or Cobb over him too. But I don't know what I'm doing, and this hobby is all luck anybody, so I'd recommend just getting drunk and flipping a coin.

I'm a Grant owner. The guy is one of the reasons I failed to make the playoffs. I've watched him all year and trust me: last week was an anomaly. It wasn't an anomaly because he's suddenly recovered from injury, no, he's had the ability all year. It was anomaly because GB let him run a bit more than usual. I don't see this becoming their regular gameplan after winning so many games with the Rodgers Show. You have to expect him to return to his 10 carries a game and 30 yards of nothing. Which makes Grant worthless. Your RB#2 situation sucks, but you aren't going to improve it on the WW. I would take Baldwin for a potential start over VJax one week and/or depth. But that's just me.ETA: but others probably have better advice. Mine is only worth slightly more than a SP loon's.
