keeping a goat as a pet

[Ron]

You should get the goat. Just think of the fun things you could do together!




 

Anybody good with Photoshop?  Could we get some tattoos&  my head slapped on this? 
I wanna see how I'd look with a goat on my back.

I hate to volunteer others, but Mastiffman is pretty good with it.

The story of Omar -

Wednesday night I was looking at tanks on Craigslist&  I came across a listing for a 125gallon in Newport.    The 125 was listed as having a chip but holding water just fine.
This listing was very familiar to me, since I had just told a friend about seeing somebody selling an older 125 with a chip&  PM'd the seller, JCunningham0295,  my friends email. 
 My friend opted not to get the tank&  Josh/JCunningham must've listed the tank on Craigslist.

 Now a short time before I had noticed the ad. I had received a text from a fellow member& friend of mine (who shall remain nameless, let's just say he likes to poke bears with sticks) This buddy of mine had said how he was bored. So, once I noticed Josh's ad I sent my buddy a text saying how I just found Josh's ad, which included his phone number &  how we should screw with him. My buddy with the stick declined&  the thought left my mind....

 UNTIL the next day,  when I was very bored at work.   
I was looking around the internet&  noticed I had a extra browser window open&  it still had Josh's ad up.

The following is copy&paste straight from my text app.  When reading it use a heavy Arabic accent....

Me: This man with big fish tank?
 Josh/JCunningham: If you are referring to the Craigslist ad then yes.  I have a 125 gallon for sale. 
 Me: Yes that it.  The ad for big fish tank.  How much you want?
 Josh/JCunningham: Are you looking at the ad for a 125 gallon aquarium in Newport?  I am asking 75.00 or best. 
 Me: Yes Newport but I don't smoke
You like to trade?
 Josh/JCunningham: I am looking for cash.   Not to trade. 
 Me: Oh so you No like goat?
 Josh/JCunningham: No, are you a serious buyer are not?
 Me: Yes,  my goat is prize
Produce great milk,  save you lot of money
 Josh/JCunningham: No thanks
 Me: How about black woman?  I give you date, she have nice big bottom
 Josh/JCunningham: Lol.  I prefer sheep.  Go troll so
 Josh/JCunningham: Someone else.
 Me: OK, my name Omar
I own gas station down river. Save my number in case you change mind

Now I had planned on waiting a little bit&  then telling Josh it was really me. But, my phone died& once I got it charged I was too busy with my kids.

 So, then I had another thought - what if I start a thread&  say I was contacted by Omar&  was offered a goat myself?   What would Josh post? 

 Then this thread was born&  I patiently waited for Josh to post.   

Once Josh posted, I ran a couple ideas by my buddy, with the stick, & WE came up with this...

 Me: Hello man with big fish tank,  it is Omar. You say You like sheep, but my cousin say he not trade my goat for sheep. He do have chickens though.  Would u like chickens for trade?

[Regalblue]

Josh/JCunningham: No trade

So, I came clean&  told him that it was me. 
Once he replied back&  wasn't pissed,  I asked him if it was cool to post his "Omar replies " & he agreed

So, that is the story of how Omar came to be&  his true identity.  I hope everyone enjoyed the story.

BTW - those of you who are worried if your ad could be next... My number starts with 989-424.

If your new landlord doesn't hurry up and get your new place ready, you could qualify as a vagabond.  What kind of whiskey do you drink?

I like Red Stag Honey Tea.  But, if your expecting me to dress as the goat... Better pick up at least two 5th's.

Don't you still have the goat costume from the furry convention?
