Goat Art

So if I post someone's art up on my blog without their permission, are they going to sue me? I mean, wouldn't they see it as free advertising or promotion if they're trying to sell it? Or wouldn't they figure since it's just on some stupid little personal blog, who cares? I don't know, but if all you see below is a blank spot (and claw marks) where there used to be art, then you'll know what happened. And when I get out of jail, I'm going to come after my ex-friend Ilsa for snapping this photo with her cell phone of club members' art that hangs in the Capital Athletic Club here in Sacramento, where I've heard tell that Arnold Schwarzenegger works out.

Don't adjust the screen on your computer (or Kindle). It's a little out of focus.

Where was I? Oh yeah, going to jail. I mean, I'm more than happy to post the artist's name, but I don't know what it is, so if anybody out there happens to know who did it, let me know.

Goats are the New Chicken

No seriously, according to Willamette Week, goats are the breakout pet in the upcoming year.

And so in the spirit of past animal fads such as Vietnamese pot-bellied pigs and, of course, chickens, we’re forecasting goats as the must-have companion in 2010.

So, look for them in your more trendy neighbor's backyards very soon. And start buying stock in Purina (for the Goat Chow) now. Thanks to Adrian (Adrian's Crazy Life) for pointing this story out to NGIP.
