This is fitting in many ways! Ha-ha. Love it, Thom. Catch the green one?

Good Morning Everyone!

TGIF!

Thom, did you mean “scapegoat” or am I missing something?

I like the troll’s head in the audience (unless he’s the prosecuting attorney).

The word “gruff” reminded me of the story:

The “junkyard” is Thom’s own embellishment, I guess. I’d bet that “scrapgoat” was intentional, since he’s referring to a “junkyard troll.”

Hey, don’t call my boss a troll. He’s a kind considerate man who would never think of looking over my shoulder at my monitor. I love my boss.

Hey, it’s water under the bridge, let it go.

They say this goat is one baaad mother…shut your mouth! I’m just talkin’ ‘bout goat.

Objection, that goat’s talking trash, your honor.

young billy had enough and decided to get gruff so poor old troll found, on the whole he wasn’t very tough

unless that’s nanny!

nice one Thom

I see a face in the top left corner wearing glasses!

Johanan Rakkav- That’s okay, you’re entitled to an off day. Junk-scrap, it’s all there.

I like the reference to Three Billy Goats Gruff. He must be one of them.

lol@cleokaya!

Excellent comeback Cleo!

Indeed, and not just any religious ritual: the rite of the Day of Atonement described in Leviticus 16 (KJV), even if the word simply means “the goat that escaped” and not someone (even a goat) that suffered unjustly for a penalty due to someone else.

There…hopefully that makes up for an off day. :)
