of fluffers and goat burning

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7801156.stm

A giant straw goat erected each Christmas in a northern Swedish town has been burned down - yet again.

The 13m-high (43ft) animal in Gavle has been torched 23 times since it was first erected in 1966. It has also been hit by a car and had its legs cut off.



Makes me wonder what Livi has been doing lately...

A buddy of mine build a 60' Gator for the Christmas boat parade, but he didn't burn it.

ABSOLUT and ABBA.

A deadly combination.

You have to cut these people some slack.

Gentlemen, I am honored being suggested taking part in such a fine, long time tradition. I have contemplated it for years, but apparently there is some kind of underground waiting list. If you want to be the one doing the actual honors with the matches you need to put up your name (or pseudonym for incognito torching) at least 10 years ahead.

Thanks for thinking of me!

I think this is so funny, I have been showing it to several of my friends the last hour. We all thank you for the best laugh this side of Christmas. Great mug shot!

Wait, is that the police at my door...??!!

-No officer, I didn´t DO the goat. At least not that goat.
