2012 Predictions, Courtesy of a Goat

You know you’ve branded your blog well when people give you certain things for Christmas.

Look what I got from my brother:

goat marionette, goat puppet

This billy goat in a thong is named Griswald and his first item of business as a self-proclaimed psychic is to announce his predictions for 2012. You know, kinda like that octopus (what was his name?) who picks the winner of the Super Bowl or The Olympics or whatever, but without the tentacles. (That’s TENTACLES - slow down, you read too fast.)

2012 Prediction #1:

A goat-themed reality show will premiere in 2012 entitled Extreme Caprines: The Good, the Baaad, and the Fugly. Each week, ten goats will compete in a series of tests designed to separate the bleat from the chaff. The audience will vote for best talent, best swimsuit and best lawn mowing. The final episode will culminate in a “Bleat Off” of all the current season’s winners. The goat deemed Biggest Bleater will receive the coveted Golden Udder, a year’s supply of Purina Goat Chow and his or her very own, brand new, super exciting, climate controlled yurt. The winner of Episode 7 will make tabloid history with her scandalous habits of doping, taping, and shoving her hoof down her throat before each runway contest.

2012 Prediction #2:

A surprise Independent Party candidate will sneak from behind at the last minute and win the 2012 U.S. Presidential election. And he will be a goat named Stewart. His administration will consist of his old cronies as well as deep-pocket campaign contributors bent on destroying democracy as we know it. The white house pet will be an exotic parrot named Cracker Carl.

2012 Prediction #3:

A famous mad scientist’s goat cloning experiment will go awry resulting in the production of over 8 billion goats, surpassing the number of humans on the planet. They will harness and master the powers of human speech, social media and internet marketing. In other words, goats will take over the world.

 

Does Griswald sound a little ambitious to you?

Do you have any predictions for 2012?

    Griswald the thong wearing psychic billy goat. I love it! Who does he like in the Fiesta Bowl?

  • http://www.nannygoatsinpanties.com/ Margaret (nannygoats)

    He’s clammed up for now. He won’t say anything more until I bring him his slippers and smoking jacket.

  • Mishj

    Why a thong, I wonder?

  • http://pricillaspeaks.blogspot.com Pricilla

    Purina goat chow is overrated…trust me, I know.
    Don’t forget the methane in the third prediction. We goats are already the largest producers so if you add like 8billion more watch out for the gas….

    Happy New Year to you and Griswald. I think he needs boxers though

    I think you may be onto something here. It’s going to be “Planet of the Goats”!

  • Slommler

    Goats rule!!!! Ha!!
    Happy New Year
    Hugs

    That goat looks JUST like the one in the marionette show in *The Sound of Music*. Yes, I watched that show too many times as a child. But still. Seeing that goat makes me want to start yodeling.

    That goat marionette is fabulous! Griswald is a perfect name for him. I think goats should take over the world. They couldn’t possibly do any worse than we’ve done. I do hope I get a kindly goat master. Happy New Year, Margaret!

    You and I are of the same minds on this. When I pulled Griswald out of the box and held him up, the first thing I did was start singing: “High on the hill of a lonely goat herd, Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo”!

  • http://www.nannygoatsinpanties.com/ Margaret (nannygoats)

    If they don’t gas us out like Pricilla says, I hope I get a kindly master too.

  • http://www.nannygoatsinpanties.com/ Margaret (nannygoats)

    I can totally see that whole movie franchise!

  • http://www.nannygoatsinpanties.com/ Margaret (nannygoats)

    Happy New Year and Hugs to you, too, SueAnn! XOXOXO

  • http://www.nannygoatsinpanties.com/ Margaret (nannygoats)

    I was too impressed with the fact that it was pink with polka dots, but you’re right…. a thong is worth wondering about. :)

  • http://www.nannygoatsinpanties.com/ Margaret (nannygoats)

    Oooh, the gas - that would be a bit suffocating.

    So, is Purina like the Taco Bell of animal food?

  • http://www.nannygoatsinpanties.com/ Margaret (nannygoats)

    NO wait! The Kraft Mac and Cheese?

  • http://pricillaspeaks.blogspot.com Pricilla

    The publicist bought us Purina once and we ALL turned up our noses. At GRAIN. So you can imagine. More like the White Castle….

    Um, Margaret? Griswald is really cute and talented and all, but… where did your head go?!?!

    Happy Headless New Year girl!

    Aw… I love Griswald. Happy New Year, Margaret!

    My only prediction for 2012 is that it’s going to be MUCH BETTER than 2011.

  • http://jbearsavo.com/ J. Bear Savo

    Prediction Number 1 is maybe one of the funniest things you’ve ever written.

  • http://www.nannygoatsinpanties.com/ Margaret (nannygoats)

    Well if I didn’t have that double chin thing going, you would have seen it!

  • http://www.nannygoatsinpanties.com/ Margaret (nannygoats)

    Happy New Year to you too, Pinki!

  • http://www.nannygoatsinpanties.com/ Margaret (nannygoats)

    Awww, thanks, J Bear! Coming from you, that’s a definite compliment. :)

  • http://www.nannygoatsinpanties.com/ Margaret (nannygoats)

    Oh boy, let’s hope so! XOXO

  • http://mommamiameaculpa.com meleahrebeccah

    For reals.

  • Joanna Jenkins

    I’m still laughing that Griswald is wearing a pink thong!

    What a hoot.

    Happy, happy New Year, Margaret.

    xo jj

  • Nezzy

    Although I’m quite taken with Griswald, there’s just somethin’ wrong with a Goat named Griswald wearin’ a pink polkey dot thong! Heeeheheh!

    I love your Christmas present….think of the fun your gonna have with (him/her/it???) I’m confused!

    Really it doesn’t take much.

    God bless and have a wonderful 2012!!!
