Goat Fight Club
It is Saturday. Time to feed the animals.
Which means looking at goat heads disappearing in buckets.
There’s nothing quite like a bucket, is there? At least if you’re a goat. The only thing that is better than a bucket is… the other bucket. And so Magnethe makes sure to always have the pick of the buckets.
And Vanilje must take the leftovers. You can always tell who is highest in the hierarchy. When Mads was around he’d chase everybody away and take whatever bucket he wanted. When Thor was there he’d be the one who’d chase the others away. And now Magnethe does the chasing. It’s fun to watch, really. She’ll be burying her head in a bucket for a minute. Then look up and over at Vanilje. And then run over and ram into Vanilje, who flees as fast as possible. And then they’ll stay at their new positions for a minute or two. Until Magnethe looks up and again decides that whatever is in Vanijle’s bucket is surely much tastier than what is on offer in her own bucket. And so the dance continues until all buckets are empty. And then they come over to me and look up at with me with anticipating eyes. Surely what Plume has in his pockets must be better than what is in the empty buckets, oh yes.
In other news, my old classmate Tina Dickow is releasing a new record on Monday. Exciting times, I’m sure you will agree. And “someone” has been updating their youtube channel quite a bit. So if you want to hear some Tina stuff then go check that out.
Other than that there is not much going on. I’m spending most of my time sleeping or saving the galaxy. Either is good.

Do their heads ever get stuck in the buckets?
Will the playground get more goats in the future?
How many apples can Debster peel in fifteen minutes while a happy kangaroo jumps up and down until the Foreign Minister of Australia tells the kangaroo to stop?
Does LuisLemmings feel better at 25mg or 75mg?
Will Plume fly to the States, land in San Diego, knock on LuisLemmings door, LuisLemmings opens the door, Plume slaps him hard for writing this “unusual” entry, then fly back to Denmark?

LuisLemmings: I think you’re feeling mighty good at 75 mg! Had you been feeling the effects of less daylight hours? I sure have been. Will be time to up my “mg’s” this fall as well.
We used to see the “headless zebras” eating hay. They were feeding in a big round bale of hay, their heads stuck deep in the middle. All you could see were the round, striped black and white rumps. Hence…headless zebras!

LuisLEmmings – Yes, their heads DO get stuck in the buckets. Although very rarely. Sometimes that metal handle thingie will get wrapped around their neck and they’ll walk around either with a bucket over the head or with it around their neck like a necklace. And by “sometimes” I mean.. three times in all the time I’ve known them. More or less..
I hope there will be new goats. Hopefully the sisters are pregnant right now.. and Kurt might bring new goats from his place too, some time.
Will Plume fly to the states? He’s going to have to grow some impressive wings first!
Debster – I wish I could meet a zebra, they seem so cool. Maybe I’ll go to a zoo some day.
