This is the kind of goat I'm looking for...

http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~cs5/examples/chap11/goat.gif

I want to train him to stand on the peak of the middle dormer. That way it will be easier for people to give directions to my house.

Ratzenhofer? Oh sure, just take Hwy. 17 three miles west to Bertleson Creek road, hang a left, go about two miles and look for the house with a mountain goat standing on the middle dormer.

however i fear for the gustav goat; how long'll it be before you're "helping it over the fence"?

Well, I just keep talking away here. I'm pretty wired up -- been smoking a little of that wacky stuff.

What a coincidence....I was just talking goats with kickycan. He doesn't want mine, so gus can have it. It looks the same as the one in the picture, but has a touch of mange. Wow, gus, that is quite the improvement. I may have gone for just putting a giant wedge underneath one side of the shack. That way, the rainwater would drain off, and you could skateborad inside the house as well. Also, everything would look level to you when drunk or high.

Only ninety? Odd, that doesn't explain this photo, dated 1893.

It's wise you decided to not go with cedar on the roof. Cedar burns like you poured kerosene on it in the event of fire. That kind of roofing has been outlawed in many areas.
PS I like what you're doing with the house. Do you think I could hire you to make my mobile home about three stories taller and put in an elevator?

Gus
Gus, I gotta tell you that your remodeled house looks a lot like Samuel Clemons' house he bought with his Mark Twain books earnings.

Gus, now fess us, did you steal that house and have your goat tow it up the dirt road to replace your charming abode?

Gus, why not build a shed roof over the entire house? It will make it last longer too. It works for covered bridges.

Gus is disGUSted. No serious solution. I doubt if the house shown, would support a new roof.

Letty, if I replace GUS, I would probably spend all of HIS money building a new house.
