4. My Pet Goat story started on page 159 of some book they named
but I missed the name of the book.

24. You are obviously not a member of occult Skull & Boner cabal
like George AWOL Bush, or you would understand PERFECTLY why there are 159 pages of riveting data about pet goats.

Next incarnation, try belonging to an evil occult cabal like the Skull & Boners.

On second thought, that's a crappy idea. Forget I said that.

Try incarnating instead, maybe, as a flower arranger. Yeah, maybe that's a better idea.



...Excuse me now, while I whip out to the neighborhood exorcist to get rid of the EVIL
Skull & Boner Rays that are messing up my mind....

Great Goat Stuff, December 25, 2005

A Kid's Review
Hi I am only 12, but I can read and watch TV at the same time. Here is what I do. When I am watching TV and reading and a bomb drops on New York I stop reading and turn on more TVs. I had a goat but my dad sold it for food money. I wish the president would get me a goat. The book is not too good. Thank you.

2. Sounds like a big book. Bush would have been there for months
reading it to the kids. He don't understand no big words, ya know...

5. Yes, too big for bushitler. Took him 20 minutes to just find the page
on which to start sounding out the words.

3. Are they hawking a Commemorative Special 9-11 Edition of it now?
Edited on Mon Sep-11-06 01:25 PM by kenny blankenship
Act now, this is a limited time offer! This Fifth Year Commemorative 9-11 Special Edition of My Pet Goat, embossed and individually signed by the Secretary of Homeland Security, will not be offered again. You will not see this unique patriot's collector item for sale in any store!

13. Looking at that picture of him, he's
aged a LOT since then! Must be stressful to be so hated.

17. maybe he's thinking how the goat would be a better prez?
I've read that story. Sorry to write a plot spoiler -- but the goat is a greedy, destructive creature who redeems himself by saving the family from a criminal! So he is forgiven.

Bush, though, will not be.

19. Bushitler has no redeeming quality about him. He has demeaned
THE Pet Goats worldwide and he never even read past the first page.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x2822576

Whether bush likes it or not, "The Pet Goat" will ALWAYS be part of the September 11th tapestry.
