Conan, Jed's uncle wasn't much of an angliciser unless you consider he chose the Anglo-Saxon option for all the nouns and cheeky verbs he could. Bock, spot of the bloody insomnias. Think it's on the wane now, thank holy things. mary, pity poor Jed indeed. In a strange way he is a sort of Everygoat figure. It is the deepest fear of all goats that they find a brilliant leather jacket and then live to see it shredded on a fence. It's the senselessness of it. Eryl, if they released them way up in the wilds it would be OK though, right? I don't know. Maybe it wouldn't. Wolves are cool though. Brian, growing into kevlar is the choice for the new more bovine-compassionate millennium. Bravo, my friend! Synthetic fibres are where it's at! Spare the cows - they're people too! His Girl Friday, he was a crazy-ass el goato loco at the end, that's for sure. Noone should see what he saw. Noone. fmc, his teaching assistant career didn't last as long as they'd hoped becasue he got a taste for pencils and jotters. Daphers darling, obviously. Di Caprio was born to play this goat. Medbh, it's a wolf eat goat world and sometimes you come across a pack of wolves that are just bad to the bone. Cultural stigma from fairy-tales etc. and low-self-esteem can take a good young wolf and turn him into a vicious misgoatropist. It's the kill they want, not the meat.

Harsh.

A fate worse than death surely? And also, 'monogoaty' caused my toast to get stuck in my throat and I had quite a painful coughing fit, which caused my thigh muscles to spasam. If you suddenly looked up from whatever you were doing, the curse WAS good natured. Poor Jed, condemned to the life of a teaching assistant. A fate worse than death surely?

Everyone and everything confront their demons in different ways. Damn, I always wanted one of those leather jackets. Then when I got one I didn't wear it much but it still hangs in the closet. So when I bought my last motorbike, a few years ago, I bought one of those new fangled kevlar armored ones rather than using the old leather thing hanging in the closet. We don't get older. We grow.

Then I sobered up quick. The moral of this, I would say, is that sometimes there IS slaughter, like it or not. Poor young Jed! We've all snuck through the fence at some point -- many times over, in fact. Most of the time, we manage to get away with it -- and much, much more. But Jed's entire herd got caught...and he had to live to see it, too. Loved monogoaty and Jed's long-winded granny. And the fact that Jed used to be Snowy -- that is just priceless.
