Days Of Our Plumes
I seem to be getting back to a more productive sleep rythm. So that’s good. Let’s hope I can stick with it.
Following the advice of Doctor Magnethe, today I spent some time with the goats. That is good for me too. What were the goats doing?
Well, Magnethe seems to be eating hay. And..
…Thor and Vanilje seem to be eating hay as well. It’s a popular pass-time.
There was a bunch of kids visiting, kindergarteners or daycare or something. Which meant several cries of “Why is there a man sitting in with the goats?”. That seemed to puzzle them. It also meant goats running back and forth at the fence, looking for treats.
I don’t know who were most excited about the giving of treats, the kids or the goats. Everyone was enjoying it a lot.
And why not a Thor pose?
Hey, did I mention the olympics? No? Well, that’s because I don’t care about them. At all. They bore me. Only thing that caught my eye was the story about how there was a girl lipsyncing in the opening ceremony because the girl actually singing wasn’t attractive enough to be put on TV. Ouch. That and the fake fireworks. And the censorship. And all the other things that are oh so wrong. There just isn’t time to admire all the greatly doped athletes. Not that I’m cynical or anything. Never.
That’s all for now. Not too much going on. But at least I am above water.

Looks like Thor should be in the Olympics himself! He may win a gold medal in the high jump.
Anyway, I’m glad you’re getting enough sleep.

Yes, a little Photo-shopping could put a nice gold medal around Thor’s wooly neck.
Do the visitors ever bring the “dear danish goat boy” any treats? Maybe you need to “strike a pose” on Thor’s bench and you might get some goodies.
My husband was all excited about the Bigfoot sighting until it turned out to be a big hoax. You know you’ve been working toooo much when Bigfoot news captures your attention.
(Mmmm…maybe the Loch Ness Monster will show up in the Mississippi River?)

Oh, my gawd! I was excited about that Bigfoot sighting, too. I’ve been fascinated with it ever since I was kid. I’ve read books and watched shows on tv.
Remember Leonard Nimoy’s show “In Search…?” I LOVED that show. The music on the show used to give me the heebee jeebees! And he did an episode on Bigfoot, too
But like your husband I was so disappointed it was a fake: a rubber suit and some oppossum innards.
I know Bigfoot exists! I know he’s out there..it’s just a matter of time.
Are there undiscovered creatures in Denmark, too? Have you seen a UFO, Debster? Plume?

LuisLemmings – As long as there is someone waiting with treats, I think he can jump anythin! The olympics for goats, I’d like to see that.
Debster – I never get any treats now that I think about it. How unfair. Although I do get treated nicely so that’s okay I guess.
I saw the bigfoot headline, but figured it to be a hoax so I didn’t read up on it. Do you think if bigfoot is real and can talk he will complain about people calling him bigfoot? It seems awfully insensitive. Good thing he’s not know for his big nose.. “BIGNOSE SPOTTED IN WOODS” the headlines would say. Probably.
Luis, I don’t think we have any mythical creatures in Denmark, not that I know anyway. There are some crazy people who talk about killer penguins, but no one listens to them..
And I have never seen a ufo. I once tried to paint in a ufo on a picture (that was before computers and photoshop, I used a normal pen on a polaroid). I’m not sure what I was going to do if I ´had come up with a convincing fake. Maybe sell it to the papers? It was rather obviously a fake though and didn’t fool anyone.

Aha! Now we know who was behind the Bigfoot hoax. It was that danish goat boy! He has a history of making fake “UFO” pictures.
Glad we solved that mystery!
I guess Bigfoot is supposed to not smell so good either, so he could probably have some other not so nice names besides “Bigfoot”.
