Nanny Goats In Panties Makes History (Channel)

That's right. Nanny Goats In Panties is featured on The History Channel.

Well, actually it's the History Channel Website.

See, zero score and four years ago, these two dudes walk into the forum. The message forum, that is (as opposed to some Mel Brooks joke). One dudes asks the other dude if, well, here. I'll show you:

Ancient China vs. Rome

If a hypothetical war occoured between the Roman Empire at its height, and the Chinese Empire at its height, who would win. I say China, but I would like to hear your opinions.

Two hundred twelve posts and three and a half years later, some random dude asks:

Would goats be forced to wear panties?

Does Magna Carta mean nothing to you? Did she die in vain?

You are more than welcome to go to the post to try to figure out why either of these questions were asked, because I don't see how the Huns and Mongolia would inspire someone to inquire about goats.

Neverthless, it's the now famous response to the above question that launched Nanny Goats In Panties to the fame it enjoys today:

lol that reminds me of this website http://www.nannygoatsinpanties.com/

And then, ladies and gentleman, a star was born. The question is, do I feel elated that this blog was put out there to attract all the world's history buffs to NGIP, where they would be wooed by my unrelenting gift to raise the mundane to poetic platitudinal proportions? Or am I deflated because the mere mention of my blog brought the nearly four year conversation to a screeching halt?

Also, did you notice how this guy sort of cheated, claiming that the dude's seemingly nonsequitor question about goats in panties, "reminded" him of my blog? Because it didn't. I saw the google search he did on "goats be forced to wear panties" which in turn led him to the NGIP lair.

On the other hand, did you notice how I sort of cheated, claiming that Nanny Goats has become an overnight star thanks to the History Channel? Actually, it wasn't so much cheating as it was exaggerating, misleading, and to some degree, lying. I assume they won't hold that against me, once they've discovered the gold mine that is the penned brilliance on this blog. It's all just show business, right?

You know, we famous cable television celebrities have to play the game to stay in it. I mean, the fans may stretch the truth a bit, but we should accept it and at times even find it flattering. I expect at some point soon, The History Channel will approach me to write and produce a highly successful, allegedly nonscripted, reality show about the fierce and dangerous world of locksmithing. Either that or the equally tension-filled and dramatic, historical documentary about copy machine repairmen as told through a seasickening hand-held camera - doesn't the mere thought of it make you nauseous already?

It's only a matter of time before I hear from them, and when I do, I will cull my cast from the message forums on their very website. It's that whole, "I'll scratch my back, you scratch yours" philosophy that makes Hollywood what it is today, God bless 'em.
