Crazy Minnesota Fans Paint Goat Purple and Gold, Shave No. 4 into it, and Shove it in a Trunk
Animals, Courts, Legal, NFL August 24th. 2009, 11:46am
This is one way to celebrate Brett Favre’s first preseason game in Minnesota:
“We cracked open the trunk, you know, so it could breathe,” Prusci said. “And sure enough, there it was. It kind of poked its head up.”
The goat had been painted purple and gold – the colors for the Minnesota Vikings. Shaved into its side was the No. 4 – the number of Brett Favre, who made his Vikings debut Friday night in a preseason game in the Twin Cities.
The goat was lying on its side, tied at its feet. Prusci said it had some pretty big horns … “It was definitely the most out-of-the norm thing I’ve ever seen,” Prusci said.
Hazing prank gone wrong? Green Bay fans? Really, really high-end LSD?

I don’t think old Billy would have been a good passenger in the back seat.

OT:
I just saw an ad for Rams season tickets. Apparently the slogan their team came up with is “Endure months of pain for moments of joy.” Which does sound about right, but jesus what a terrible ad campaign.

She planned to butcher the animal later but was passing through Winona on her way to St. Paul when the car broke down, Prusci remembered her saying.
I don’t know how far away you have to drive to get an animal butchered in Minnesota, but I really don’t like the idea of leaving it in the trunk to die on the way. That’s a waste of meat.

1. Cruel
2. Stupid
3. It’s Minnesota.
I expect nothing less from those ice fishing, outdoor baseball stadium building, working-skipping-to-watch-college-hockey, crackpots.

that’s pretty effed up. the strange thing is the woman acted like putting a painted goat in the trunk was the most normal thing in the world.

Winona MN,
Apparently home to more than just a klepto in hollywood!

is it legal to cross county lines with a goat in your trunk?
why paint it purple before hacking it up?

He’s a she, and she should just get driven from Rochester MN to St Paul MN, while trussed up, in the summer, in the trunk of a car. I don’t even advocate stopping for a vehicle repair. That’s too harsh.

Also, how old is it, to have giant horns? If you can avoid it, don’t eat an old goat.

By the way, who volunteered their Mercedes to transport this thing?
August 24th, 2009 at 12:10 pm
Looks like an old school diesel powered Benz. The goat was riding in comfort

Had some cabrito this weekend at a birthday party. Good shit.

I fail to see why you’re hating on college hockey since it fucking rocks! Besides, it’s not exactly like we’re a threat to win a national championship in any other sport.
August 24th, 2009 at 12:14 pm
Yes but only if you intend to marry the goat.
/don’t get up, I’ll show myself out

Cabrito. Yum.

Who the fuck eats goat?

Put up your dukes!

Goat is delicious, dude. I’ll eat a goat right now. Tons of cultures eat goats. It’s retarded that more white americans don’t eat goats, especially with how readily available they are, given the goat dairy industry.

It sounds pretty inhumane what that woman and her family did to that animal. Goat or not, that’s pretty cruel.
August 24th, 2009 at 12:34 pm
I got fuckin’ no dukes.
August 24th, 2009 at 12:53 pm
That looks like a sheep in the trunk, not a goat. And it certainly doesn’t have horns.
August 24th, 2009 at 12:54 pm
You don’t eat goats bred for milk production.
August 24th, 2009 at 12:57 pm
Goat meat is the most widely consumed meat in the world.
August 24th, 2009 at 1:09 pm
What? I have never heard of this.
August 24th, 2009 at 1:12 pm
True and true. I’m pretty sure this is not the same animal.
August 24th, 2009 at 1:14 pm
My friend Jay Riemenschneider eats horse all the time. He gets it from his butcher.

you certainly can. When they have kids, if the kids are male, those goats are available for purchase, cheap. Cheaper than meat goats. Obviously, not as meaty.
August 24th, 2009 at 1:23 pm
You could, but I wouldn’t.
August 24th, 2009 at 1:28 pm
You could, but I wouldn’t.
It’s good, because it’s less meat, and in my experience, you have to buy an entire goat to get goat meat. So I usually want the smallest goat available for purchase, so I end up with about 40 pounds finished.
Buy local. I’m going to stew a lot of it, and get a lot more ground up. It’s not like I’m eating rare goat steaks.

Be careful ordering cabrito in Mexico. A neighboring table in a restaurant in Monterrey did one time, and the waiter brought the whole stinkin’ goat, on a board, to the table. Killed my appetite slightly, but I still like to eat cabrito on occasion.

I always thought the Alpine and other dairy breeds just had “sloppier” meat for whatever reason. It just didn’t taste as good to me as the Spanish Boer or even the Nubian goats.
