Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for January 31, 2023

G.O.A.T.

Catchy turn of a phrase there Arlo, but I highly doubt it will catch on. That being said, only e few GOATs come to mind. Ali, MJ, and Brady, and each of them had their own flaws.

Good Grief.

There are no G.O.A.Ts. Just egotists.

I’m satisfied just to be my wife’s G.O.A.T.

The difference in terms is that the type of goat Charlie Brown is is a scapegoat…

Maybe the „GGOAT“ – Greatest Goat Of All Times“ or GGoatOAT.

None of that seems catchy to me.

In German we have a close acronym: The „GröFAZ“ a slur for Hitler who was (self or by his followers) proclaimed „größter Führer aller Zeiten“ – but could easily be misheard as „Größter Fatzke“. Fatzke is translated as swellhead or stuck-up twit.

Agree. It has taken me a long time to change the definition in my head.

Good ’un, Jimmy J! 8^ )

…the goat amongst the sheep…

This reminds me. Is COVFEFE a scrabble word yet?

Brady is an unrepentant cheater. Jordan ruined the game be demanding the refs treat him like a diva.

Bill Russell is a much more compelling candidate for all-time great — back-to-back NCAA championships, olympic gold medal (when we sent true amateurs), 11 NBA championships in a 13 year career as a player and player/head coach.

Upvote for anything Charlie Brown.

One of my friends has a “Goat” – a 1965 Pontiac GTO he bought new.

ABSOLUTELY Arlo, but sadly not for football ~(>_<。)＼

I think Arlo is the “goat”!

But look at the team Chas had to work with. The outfielder has a crush on the catcher, philosophy’s on 2nd, & the shortstop (the only one who can play) is a beagle.

I agree Charlie Brown is the G.O.A.T. GOAT. As one Peanuts character observed, “He’s the Carlie Brownest,” which I think translates to G.O.A.T..

Simone Biles

I have to agree with Janis on this.

I just love it when Arlo waxes philosophical. :-D

The goat takes on the sins of others and is blamed for what he didn’t do. They used to take two, slaughter one and let the other escape into the wilderness, the Escape Goat or just the scapegoat.

(I couldn’t do it because I actually WAS GUILTY most of the time.)

Organizations like to blame mishaps on someone else. I used to explain that the last one to leave our department was officially to blame until the next one came along. When I transferred elsewhere, I reminded them to blame me for the next failures.

let’s play a game of Goat Lords

YES, it would indeed……

God Over All Things

Charlie Brown was the Rodney Dangerfield of comics.
