    December 19th would be a perfect time to allow the goat to be burned.


    Jet fuel doesn't melt straw goats.

    I am contesting the results and I demand an investigation into @Diggy's wheelings and dealings for this organization.

    They should turn it into a game like the old It's A Knock-Out (aka Jeux Sans Frontières), with people in comically oversized shoes and ridiculous clothes split into two teams, one trying to burn the goat down, the other throwing cold water over the fire.

    I was actually thinking the 26th would be perfect.

    I call bull on the idea that once it gets burned, people cancel their trips. If you're the kind of person who does a special trip to see a giant goat made of straw, you're the kind of person who would also make the same trip to see the burned out hulk of a giant goat made of straw. I would be more likely to go on the second trip actually.

    I guess it also depends on if you have unrefundable airline tickets for the trip.

    Unfortunately, the police chief has armed his men with flaming arrows to deter any possible threat.

    In hopes of a good burn today, time to go back to cute squirrels. Tired of goats anyway.

    I did look to see if there were any pics of squirrels on Goats. There were none.

    Speaking of burning, there is a town in Pennsylvania called Centralia where an underground coal fire still burns to this day. The 7 souls that still live in that town would probably love to watch this attraction burn.

    the goat seems much more well lit than usual. might discourage would-be arsonists, but those lights probably give off quite a bit of heat...

    Yeah, it looks like they added or beefed up that spotlight on the left in the webcam footage.

    I guess goat burning is going to have to become a more specialized job requiring actual expertise, like the thieves in movies who crack safes. No longer can any old amateur pull off a caper like this.
