Last week, while test marketing my patented re-usable Kleenex™ with the local men of Schnauz Lodge #492, I saw this billboard:
Wow! A forty-two foot TV? Who doesn’t want to win one of those? Mr. Nanny Goats and I have decided to enter this contest because if they’re giving away one a day for a month, that’s…that’s…well you figure it out. In any case, it’s a lot, so we’re pretty much guaranteed to win.
The problem is, our place is too small, so yesterday we bought a warehouse down by the loading docks at the Port of Sacramento. Escrow on our new digs closes next week.
And just in time for the holidays! You know those Christmas tree places where you hunt down your own fir growing the forest? We’re going to yank one out of the ground that’s at least 300 years old and plant that sucker in our new front yard.
For the backyard, we’ll install an Olympic-sized swimming pool and bid to host the next summer trials. We’ll invite Michael Phelps over for tea and a swim. I’m sure we can depend on him to put in a good for us at the IOC.
You’re probably wondering how we’re going to decorate our not-so-humble abode. Easy – we’ll festoon it with big things. Gigantic things. Guinness Book of World Record things.
We are so winning this TV.
Thanks to Kat of Poetikat for pointing me to this:
Hellooooooo Nurse!
Rhea of Texas World Tangle has more where that came from. And if you’re still jonesing for goats, she posted more pics on Thursday here.
Texas World Tangle is not giving away 42-foot TVs, but she is hosting a giveaway for a stir-fry pan and jambalaya mix. Go here for more details. And hurry, the giveaway ends tonight (Friday).
For the second time today I will be saying HOLY GIANT STINKY GOAT NUTS!!!
And here’s why.
Ahhhhhh, ain’t life grand??
Bigger IS better. That’s what I always say. Except in the case of poor Billy. Yow-ZAH!
So Jan’s comment cracked me up. So true. So when you win it, just give me a call and I’ll be sure to pop up onto the roof to watch a show with you okay!
That poor goat 🙂
Oooo….Ouch…poor nanny goat.
You’ll be like those little people on Captain Kangaroo, the ones who lived behind the books.
I’m just trying to come up with ANYTHING I’d want to watch in a size 42’…
Holy crap! 42 feet! I would go blind, but I’d love it!
I’ve awarded you with the Butterfly Award! Thank you for being one of my favorite blogs. Grab your award button and pass along to your own favorites.

I’d enter that contest, but I alread have a 42 foot tv. 🙂
Hmm, false advertising — I smell a lawsuit! Oh, wait, the problem is just that the missing apostrophe from the “42′” part of the sign fell down and got stuck in the “TV’s” part of the sign.
Ha ha ha… ha ha ha.
finally a tv big enought to watch attack of the fifty foot woman without cuttin’ her head out of the picture.
me want!
You could fill it with goats. They’ll eat your trash, you can get them in different sizes and colors to match your decor. They’re multi purposed.
And when you win, sue them for false advertisng when they try and foist a 42 incher on you.
Although some women like that.
Congrats on the swank new digs! As a warehouse-warming gift, I’m ordering you some TV-trays so you can eat in front of the new tube.
They’re made from garage doors.
A.
That’s a huge tv! My neighbor has one like that in her house (which is like mine, a ranch style house). It takes up an entire wall. I think even Helen Keller could see with that tv. (okay, that was not meant to be mean you know)
You can start the first HD drive in theater…
That would soooo not make it out of my editing office. You know, the big one in the corner, with the view.
Good luck! Hope you win!
Just don’t ask me to come help move that sucker.
Such a loverly world, where everything becomes as large as me. I am, hmn, overweight thanks to my life-saving psych meds. It’d be nice to see other things larger than me.
HDTV and film has thrown all the stars and, oh what is the phrase, TV personalities into a panic. Surgery scars, large pores, baggy eyes and gosh-darn reality is smacking them in the face. No pun intended.
As some one who still watches TV thanks to tin-foil, I’m not stoked about the arrival of HDTV. It means I have to buy something, either a box or basic cable.
Either way, it’s a gateway for my lazy arse to watch TV, because it won’t be blurry, fuzzy and hissing. Kind of like a new boyfriend. Scary.
On the up-shot, it may save some lives. There are too many kids feeling that they are not perfect enough. It’s good to show the real world of television and film stars, warts and all.
Oh my goodness! We’ll have so much in common when you win because we’re definitely going to win Powerball.
We could meet and have a money party. I’ll get all of our winnings paid out in gold eagles so we can put them in your swimming pool and swim in money. The kids my husband will be fine with their Parisian nanny. Think we could hook up the giant tv to the internet because I’d want to hang out and go on SL for about 10 hours after the money party.
My worst nightmare. Every day used grammatically incorrect – in super Huge LETTERS!
Repeat after me all you “writers” out there.
“This mistake is an everyday occurrence.”
“Every day in November, some lucky duck will win a TV. I hope it’s you Nanny.”
Class dismissed.
Good luck!
Call me when you get that sucker. We’ll marathon Iron Man, Speed Racer, and The Dark Knight.
OH YEAH!!!
A 42 foot TV would knock my socks off…oh, heck, it would knock all my clothes off and my eardrums too. Sheesh. Love your warehouse idea though.
Thanks for the goat shout out and the contest shout out! You’ve earned three extra entries in the giveaway!!
GREAT GOOGLY MOOGLY…I thought my hubby’s 64″ was big!!! He’s gonna be really pissed when he finds out it’s chicken scratch compared to this bad boy!
Oops.
Drive-in movies on TV much?
Can I run the giant popcorn popper?
how far away would you have to sit to get a clear picture???
Love the goat photo…….
Gill in Canada
Wow, that TV is ginormous, lol! There’s no way you could comfortably watch that thing and still be in your own home.
And that goat has some set!!
And then you can invite Paul Bunyon AND his big blue ox. After you get GIGANTIC furniture, of course.
ROTFL! I’m dying! You (_|_) me up!
OK, if anyone was giving away a TV that big, my hubby would win it fo sho. He’d be alllll over it. I’d have to move into a stadium, but he’d win it.
OK and that goat. BAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAhahahaha
~melody~
Poetikat,
My trailer is 53′ long so that’s not a problem but cargo area is only 8′ tall so I’d have to make several trips to deliver it…
check out the teets on that goat! daayyyyyyummmm…
i want a big azz tv like that…
Do they make tractor-trailers big enough to haul a 42′ t.v.? Perhaps they’ll have to deliver it to you in the manner they use to move whole homes. Perhaps a flat-bed for parade floats would work. Imagine the bow on the sucker!
Is it HD? That would be like stepping into another world altogether. Post some photos when it comes, okay?
P.S.
Good luck decorating that tree.
could of failed but.
looks like
udder success!
Uh, Mr. Nannygoats? Football season is half over…
@Muse Swings — please quit making fun of my late parents. Show some respect for the dead…
Wow. That is a big TV. Good luck with getting that into the living room.
I recommend hitting up the state fair or something. Score some giant pumpkins and squashes for your world record sized Thanksgiving.
That’s like the Stonehenge model from “This is Spinal Tap” in reverse.
Wow! you can invite a whole city over for some flicks and pizza!
Is that Dolly Pargoaton????
Man! A 42 foot TV. That’s prounounced TayVay in these here parts, Nanny G. I’m gonna get me one of them suckers. Put it out on my front porch with the refrigerator and bathtub. Boil up some peanuts, fry up some pork rinds and have the neighbors over to watch wrestling. Hoo whee!
The devil is in the details. The TV is free, but you pay $100,000 for shipping and handling. Oh, some assembly required – seek professional help.
We’re getting a 42-foot HDTV? Just in time for football season?
I love you!
I love bacon!
I love you!
I love bacon!
I love you!
I love bacon!
I love you!
I love bacon!
I love you!
I love bacon!
Well, you can tell a man created THAT billboard. Give ’em an inch, and they see a foot.
I sooo want that TV and then all those skinny bitches on there will have semi-truck load wide butts. At least from my viewing perspective.
But is it an HD tv? If not, I’m not interested.
I believe in quality and quantity.
WOOOHOOOO, Partay at Nanny’s, I’ll brang the cheese whiz!
Eve
I think you’re gonna need some really big nanny goats and really big panties!!
yep, I would have to put that TV in my garage.
and dang! that goat has a lot of milk … or something. 😉
have a great weekend!
Can you imagine that goat pic on that TV! Yowsah!
Wow, 42 feet! I am not telling my husband he’ll really try to go out and find one that big! That ad agency must not have an editor! geez!
That’s freakin hilarious!!!! Do they not proof read their stuff first.
You know someone is gonna win and be totally pissed off. 🙂
A forty-two foot TV. You know, pretty soon you’ll have the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, King Kong and Godzilla knocking on your door hoping to pop by and finally watch the game on a reasonable-sized screen.
Especially when it’s Superbowl time. You just KNOW how they are. 🙂
That’s not a TV, that’s a movie theatre! You could download current releases from the internet and charge your friends $5 to watch.
You can deorate with giant inflatable things! Think about it…you could have a giant bounce house IN YOUR HOUSE!
That’s a big azz teevee!!!
