The nefarious subliminal messages now saturating media from the goat conspiracy reach a new low here, where they not only violate sheep, that much maligned, and oft-violated species, but also reveal their aspirations to be treated like dogs ! [^].
This wholesale re-write of the history of animal-husbandry and domestication, financed partly by the panjandrums of the mohair industry in cahoots with the Angora tribe, comes complete with the testimonials of paid-for scientists, who are probably are "into" goats because they are satanists.
Shameful, I say. What child was ever lulled gently to sleep by counting goats ? When the sheep-dogs get wind of this, they're not just going to run in circles: no, it's going to be baad.
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

As a Capricorn I have to say it's high time the goat was appreciated for its true value and nobility. Too long have the sheep oppressed with impunity, pulling the wool over human eyes and fleecing farmers while ramming home their insidious messages of hate. The truth cannot be hidden much longer. It is time for a caprine Renaissance! Shame upon all those who deny it!
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

I agree wholeheartedly!
We should make a stand to defend the noble goat, as he strives to live a humble but fruitful life in this world of greed and avarice!
Capricorns, though, they're cr@p.

I agree we should make a stand for the noble goat, but one with a rotisserie and a charcoal pit.

I must say that Goat Simulator[^] is an excellent waste of time.

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Well, in 24 hours, anyway. In lovely downtown Chattanooga.
If it's lovely....never been there before.
And I get to annoy all my favorite authors.

I'm a bit too far to visit, but what kind of convention is it?

SF, mainly. LibertyCon 29[^]
And jokingly referred to as "Baen Con", since most of Baen's major authors tend to show up.

What Con?
Never been to Chattanooga, but have been other places in TN for various reasons (including Whitewater Rafting for Boy Scouts, THAT was FUN!).

Yeah, that's where the Con is, but I signed up too late so I'm staying at different hotel. :p

I've been there for conferences before and had a great time. They've got really great transportation busses that'll shuttle you around the city for free.

Me too, except it's still almost 24 hours for me. I'll be departing for there at an ungodly hour tomorrow morning.
Might do Thursday arrival next year if they end up starting extra early on Friday again (and not with filler panels); will depend on what the job situation looks like then.
I registered soon enough to get an on-site room; although as sprawlly as the ChooChoo is, it probably matters less there than at most others.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies.

Maybe I should have checked back here before I went.
So. You have fun?

Yup. Did you?
My favorite moments were the Mad Scientists Roundtable; and the next morning when Toni ambushed Mike Massa and John Ringo mid-panel to get a contract signed.

As much as I expected, not as much as I had hoped. I don't like crowds...not that this was particularly crowded.

I put the video up on FB for the whole session. Well, pieces of it, anyway. A bit over a dozen pieces. The phone was getting too hot to hold for too long at a time. Whose brilliant idea was it to put a 4K video camera on a lithium-powered phone?
