The International Goat Naming Extravaganza
Before I announce the details of this exciting event, let’s keep up with current events. Here is a transcript of a conversation on AIM I had with my sister. Note that she doesn’t read my blog, and I haven’t talked to her in about 5 days:
pammy anne: hi
Eric: hows it going
Eric: I got strep
Eric: I don’t suggest it
pammy anne: i heard you got a shot in your butt
Eric: good to know that that information has made its way around the southeast
So, you know how it goes.
ANYWAY, the International Goat Naming Extravaganza (IGNE) has begun! What is the IGNE, you ask?
Well… basically, the wife and I are moving to a small house (if you want to think of it as a quaint place call it a “cottage”, if you want to think of it as a small place call it a “guesthouse”, and if you want to think of it as a place where someone-who-now-owes-rent-to-the-same-person-who-pays-them lives… then call it “indentured servant’s quarters”) on a 7 acre horse farm my boss just purchased. It has a main house, two rental houses (one we’ll live in), a barn for stabling horses, a smaller barn for storage, and two pastures.
Anyway, my small house needs some work (painting, among other things), and we’ll have some pictures of it soon enough. Since I’ve always lived in surburbia or in an apartment complex, owning a goat has never been a possibility.
We’re going to move in in February, and soon after I hope to buy one (maybe two!) fainting goats. As such, these goats need names! I don’t know if I will get male goats or female goats, but probably if we get two, they will both be the same gender. This is where you come in: I’m asking you, the faithful reader, to submit as many goat names as you want, split into female and male names. You can post a comment to this post, hand me a slip of paper, IM me, or email me the names. If you tell me them in person or on the phone, I will likely forget.
The winner (or if two goats, winners) will receive a framed portrait of you and the goat (or goats) you named, courtesy of me. I will post the names submitted by people who don’t read my blog on their behalf as comments.
As for your funny link, this ones a doozy. Here’s a teaser. Keep in mind, everything in this picture is made of Legos:

Anyway, my dear father, when asked for a goat name, reminded me that us Hendersºns don’t play games for fun, we play games to win.
His goat name?

Goat names have I none. Professional guidance on the matter, however, is offered at this site. It is intended for dogs, but I believe it can easily be substituted for the capra friend soon to be living with you. Link
I especially like the ideas under number 6.
