Hello from Oregon! We hope to use this space to stay a little closer to all our family and friends. It's a little experiment... kinda like everything else...
Oh, for everyone who didn't hear the original story - Dave has done some work at this house and he's been somewhat fascinated with the goats. He's shared his pita chips with them before. On his 2nd visit to the goats he was feeding them and his co-worked wondered aloud if these were fainting goats. Growing up in Newark, Dave knows next to nothing about goats - so he turns to ask his co-worker what the heck fainting goats are. In the process of turning he pulled the pita chips out of the goats reach. To which, the goat punched him in the gut.
So no, these aren't fainting goats ... but they are punching goats!
At first, I just thought the whole "fainting goat" thing was just a diversionary tactic used to get the city boy punched in the gut. But, watch this clip on YouTube:
I might faint, too if that jackass kept lunging at me with an umbrella! But pretty funny. I especially like that they can faint with excitement over being fed. That's how I feel sometimes!
Between us, we've lived in:
California, Massachusetts, Florida, Maryland, DC, New Jersey, New York, and now Oregon. We believe Life is an adventure and we are enjoying the ride.

That was freakin' hilarious. I especially like the Rasta goats!
I laughed out loud ... okay, I snorted, when I read the title to Dave's post!

Okay, I grew up in Redneck Central and I have no idea what the heck fainting goats are, either.

I am clearly out of the loop
Glad to have you in the loop, This Land.
Yes, I very nearly fainted at Bouley.
Next, I want to see Dave video himself beckoning birds with a bag of pita chips. If they were Punching Birds, so much the better.
Hey, I actually fed the goats my pita chips. I didn't just "beckon" them.
Everybody knows that birds can't punch, what with the lack of arms!
