Sarah Palin’s email and a couple of goats
September 19, 2008 By: almostgotit Category: Sarah Palin, humor, miniature goats, photographyWho sez Tennessee is in the Boonies?
After all, it looks like it was one of our own who had the sophistication to hack into Sarah Palin’s email account. Moreover, it’s looking more and more like the job was done by the son of one of our own rare but “Vile Democrat” Representatives, too. Those people!
Not that it was hard. The password reset feature on Palin’s webmail account apparently only required the hacker to answer some easy questions — e.g., what is your zip code and birthdate? — which only required a few minutes on Google to acquire. Webmail users, take warning.
On the lighter side.
A friend of mine sent me some delightfully Boony-ish news and said I could share it, though not with her name. She lives out in the county, and wanted to update me on the status of the stray miniature goat she’d rescued a few years back.
Yes, really. Stray. Miniature. Goat.
The goat roamed around my friends’ property for several weeks as they looked for its owner to no avail. Finally, after luring the feral creature towards them with some food, my friend and her husband were able to catch the mighty little beast. The two then bundled the loudly-protesting creature into the family Lexus, voiding all warranties by so doing no doubt, and took her to a neighbor who’d offered to add her to his own small herd.
The news is that there are some new kids on the block. Happily sharing quarters (and obviously other things as well) with her new herd, Nervous Nellie (aka Jumping Jane) has recently given birth to a pair of miniature goat twins.
If anyone is interested in the real names and locations of the parties involved in this little TAIL, they’ll have to hack into my webmail account, where they will also find several other juicy tidbits, including the name of the Japanese designer who made my fabulous contact lenses.

A miniature goat in a Lexus….doesn’t that sound like a punchline? I love miniature goats and I bet those babies are absolutely huggable. Good thing they don’t live with me as I would have them in the house.

Cute! My parents have a picture of me as a very small child hugging a baby goat at a nearby game farm. Love ‘em!

Edward Albee wrote a wonderfully creepy melodrama called “Sylvia, or The Goat”. It didn’t include a Lexus, but it could have, since it’s about an upper middle class couple … this has very little to do with your post, but I wanted to stop by and say hello and thanks, I much enjoy reading the blog.
I might also add that the company I work for hired a bunch of goats to do the landscaping. I mean, they hired a guy who built a fence around the grounds and then let loose about 100 goats to eat everything within the perimeter of the fence.
Not one of those goats had a degree. The man who built the fence may have had a degree, although I seriously doubt it was in building fences.

I used to live next door to a whole herd of goats. It was interesting to see them climb on…everything! The kiddos are so cute!

Eeeeeeeeee, are you writing for the Christmas Collection this year? Puhleeeeze?

Looks like everybody got my goat.
Cyn: You have too many dogs already (though can I bring you mine, again, over Thanksgiving?) I’ll try to write something. AND I’ll give you a plug right here on Almostgotit! I need material for this week, anyway, while I finish Maggy’s thing….

Cute goats.
I was heard to say in response…”oh those Vols, they are so smart, yet so stupid.” Maybe they aren’t so smart after all, if that is all it took for him to hack in.” I am a little bummed out…I was kind of proud of the college kid for some weird reason.

Yes, the goats got my attention too!
Nervous Nellie and kids are looking good.
Have a great weekend.
