    It was tough last night watching the goat and watching the vote. I'm not sure which loss I feel worse about, but the day's still young.

    Found the statue! Take a look at this page on the website. Look just behind the rear legs of the goat and you'll see it. Which means the camera has to be on that lit-up building behind the goat or on that long pole just to the right of the light pole behind the statue.

    Yeah - there have been a couple of people in hi-viz vests wandering around when I've looked at the camera.

    I read up on the year, which a group dressed up as Santas and a gingerbread man to burn the goat. Superb work.

    this reminds me of a card given to my sister on her 21st birthday from some dude which stated: 'i'm mutton without ewe'

    we had moved from new zealand a few years earlier so it had additional mileage

    it's weird some of the inane and random things you remember in life

    As seen here the tradition of the Gävle Goat go back to pre-historical time, even pre-goat time

    They say burning the goat is bad for business, as visitors cancel their visits once the goat burns.

    The problem is that the town is more famous for the burning of the goat than for the goat itself. If you burn it, they will come, but not if you burn it too early. The challenge therefore for the tourism council is to make sure the goat burns, say at least 3 years out of 4, but late in the season. That would be the perfect rigged system: a cabal of late season goat arsonists run by the Tourism Council. In a perfectly rigged goat world, it would always be an inside job.
