May the Goat be with You

[T.G.G. Moogly]

I think it was Underseer who first wrote about the giant space goat. Well, it seems his prayers have been answered in Sweden.

Sweden's giant Gavle goat survives Christmas

Standing 13 metres (43ft) tall, it is the world's biggest straw goat.

Most of its incarnations have been burnt or vandalised since 1966, when the tradition began.

However this year, the goat is still sending merry tweets.

Ah, family....

Distant, but still family. And still as infuriating as any family.

The image of the goat has become very important, probably will be erected next year in Japan, later in California, and so forth. Don't be far away from it, you might obtain some privileges as family... eBay coupons or something...
