Stuff like this really gets my goat. posted by Floydd at 9:16 AM on April 17
All right, so April 17 is Goat Day and October 8 is Elephant Day. Are there any others I'm forgetting? posted by Johnny Assay at 9:23 AM on April 17
Well, I don't know what will happen now. We've got some difficult days ahead. But it doesn't matter with me now. Because I've been to the mountaintop. And I'm happy, tonight. I'm not worried about anything. I'm not fearing any man. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Goat. posted by goodnewsfortheinsane at 9:23 AM on April 17

But what about those golden eagles? I, for one, am fearing them! posted by soundofsuburbia at 9:28 AM on April 17
Those eagles are fucking scary. I mean seriously, you're some happy goat hanging about on a mountaintop--as you do--maybe chewing on something. Perhaps you're thinking about headbutting something later, or pondering a hop over to that crag where the nannies all hang out.
And then kerblam, several pounds of feathered death come divebombing out of the sky.
Yay Mountain Goat Day! posted by Mister_A at 9:38 AM on April 17
Don't ever google "mounting goats" if you're easily offended.
Which is funny, because I went googling in the opposite direction and was also kind of disappointed.
I'm kind of an idiot in the head in a way that makes me like theme posting even though it's kind of dumb and often just leads to shitty excuses for FPPs. quonsar's third post was pretty iffy but the aforementioned head sickness wouldn't quite let me delete it, and I was relieved that people had the good sense to just sort of let it die as a little trio after that, because it was gonna have to be deletionville for any crappy followups and I hate having to grapple with that kind of internal conflict in mid-afternoon. posted by cortex at 9:43 AM on April 17

Yeah, we noticed it last night, and figured it must be International Mountain Goat/Alpine Stuff Day. Or something.
Also, golden eagles are not dicks. They are Aquila chrysaetos. Taxonomy's tough, but in this case, it's clear that dicks and eagles are two completely separate things. posted by rtha at 9:56 AM on April 17
my broken house behind me and good things ahead,
a guy named mathowie wants a little of my time.
six cylinders underneath the hood crashing and kicking,
ahhh listen to the server whine.
I am going to make it through this year if it kills me.
I am going to make it through this year if it kills me.
I played flash games in a drunken haze
I was seventeen years young.
hurt my knuckles punching the machines
the taste of scotch rich on my tongue.
And then cortex showed up, and we hung out
trading swigs from the bottle all bitter and clean
locking eyes, holding hands
twin high-maintenance machines!

My wife keeps telling me that wants to get goats. I keep worrying that I will come home and find myself eye-to-scary-square-pupiled-eye with one of the little buggers calmly standing on the kitchen counter top, eating the phone book.
But since she wants to get fainting goats, I figure I'll just clap my hands really loud and when it falls over, I'll rescue the yellow-pages. posted by quin at 10:41 AM on April 17

A couple of months ago, there were two consecutive AskMe posts about New York. The first one was, "Help me figure out how to move to New York," and the next one was, "Help me get out of the city for good." I was too lazy to make a Meta post for it, but I love shit like that. posted by not that girl at 11:54 AM on April 17

Wow Dizzy, it's almost sounds like your head is swimming over this, like it's made you so angry that you have lost your equilibrium.
If only there was a short word to describe that phenomena, where someone's comment seems to coincide ironically with their name...

So when is bunny day? posted by konolia at 1:40 PM on April 17
Now, I'm not saying that we should make a string of cephalopod FPPs that day or anything, but it is about being aware of cephalopods. I mean, elephants are really smart and cool and stuff, but I would hate to see them get all the glory while the cephalopods languish in obscurity, all sad and forgotten, sitting around in their little party hats wondering why nobody showed up. posted by louche mustachio at 4:07 PM on April 17

Well, there's FishDay, (November 30). But it hasn't been observed in a few years. posted by Miko at 7:09 PM on April 17

As someone who almost took the name 'madgoatlove', I say: excelsior to you, GoatFilter. Excelsior.
They rank a close #2.
after cephalopods. WTF is it about all those tentacles? posted by cosmonik at 5:27 AM on April 18
Well, October 8th is also International Cephalopod Awareness Day
Wow, you know how some workplaces let you have a public holiday as a 'day of cultural significance' instead of, say, Easter? Awww yeah. October 8 it is! posted by cosmonik at 5:29 AM on April 18
