    There really are anatomically correct, inflatable sheep that you can buy. I’m not aware of any similar goat product, however.

    Reminds me of the story of Cholmondeley. Can’t repeat it here…. Funny, though.

    If he’s an actor, its probably an inflatable nanny goat.

    I’d say something, but my comments have been getting flagged a lot lately and I’m trying to be more G rated……as if! Oh, and technically it’s not cheating.

    If you ask him, “How was it?” He’ll probably say, “not baaaaad”.

    Does “top the swine” have anything to do with an inflatable pig?

    I thought Swine Flu was just some kind of myth the government made up to trick us into getting vaccines we don’t need.

    Flight Suit In 76 Jerry Ford warned of a mass infection of Swine Flu. About a quarter of America fell for it and got vaccinated, killing 500. No flu was reported

    Lewreader - in 76 Swine Flu was isolated from recruits at Fort Dix, NJ. Three elderly people died after getting the vaccination at the same clinic - no evidence that the vaccination and the deaths were related. More likely that the deaths were related to something specific to the clinic, not the vaccine. The deaths and risks of the vaccine were wildly exaggerated by the press,, and the myth lives on. Perhaps the ‘76 vaccination program was ill-advised, but even given your ‘500 deaths’ out of 40 million vaccinated - pretty small collateral damage considering the risk of a 1918-like pandemic - it’s a very complicated risk/benefit equation with no ‘right’ answer.

    T, I just recovered from my bout with the Swine Flu, and I sympathize. It really sucks the first 7 days or so, but once your fever breaks it’s all down hill from there. I held my 104 - 105 fever for 6 days. Get plenty of rest, drink ALOT of Gatorade and don’t over do it when you first start feeling better.. GET WELL SOON.

    Your goat’s here, safe with me, Teresa. I’d be glad to keep her for a few more days, if you’d like.

    P.S. Great car! Just don’t go out with your head uncovered for a few more days.
