A Grumpy xmas
Christmas clothes make you look frumpy
Fa la la la la la la la No.
‘Tis the season to be grumpy
Fa la la la la la la la No.
Don me now with gay apparel
Fa la la la la la la la No.
and I’ll drown you in a barrel
Fa la la la la la la la No.
I’m ignoring all before us
Fa la la la la la la la No.
Strike the mouse and join the chaos
Fa la la la la la la la No.
Don’t follow me ‘cause it’s stalking
Fa la la la la la la la No.
Shut up, jerk, and no more talking
Fa la la la la la la la No.
Fast away this old year passes
Fa la la la la la la la No.
Shame it won’t take all the asses
Fa la la la la la la la No.
Bitterly we drink together
Fa la la la la la la la No.
B*tch about the wind and weather
Fa la la la la la la la No.
Fa la la la la la la la No.

Earlier this year, a Goats and Soda reader wrote in with a quote from Garth Stein’s The Art of Racing in the Rain: “The car goes where your eyes go.”
“It’s so important, especially as the news cycle is full of cruelty and suffering, for us to carefully choose what we read, listen to, pay attention to,” wrote Naomi Krokowski of Berthoud, Colo. “The car, my brain, goes where my eyes go — so I need to keep looking at hopeful art and look for joy in the children I love and remind myself to keep watching for good things.”
With this in mind, I offer thanks to all who post lovely, funny and impossibly cute things here. Often this is where I go to wash to taste of the news out of my mind. Thank you all and Happy New Year!!
Have some pretty horsies - Akhal-Tekes!
They are as crazy as they are unusual
and beautiful.
Their coats are frequently metallic!
and colors that exist in no other breed!
Some of their physical attributes are also unique to the breed. Their necks are often quite long. Many have a ewe neck, as does the beastie above. Sometimes ewe necks happen when horses with normal necks are improperly ridden, developing the wrong neck muscles. A ewe neck is sometimes called an “upside down” neck, which is quite descriptive.
Here is the great Throughbred Secretariat, showing off his almost perfect conformation, including a sexy neck.
The top of the neck normally should be curved, and the bottom, the throat, mirrors the curve even in thick-necked stallions. Ewe necks’ undersides are convex.
Akhal-Teke’s ewe necks cause no physical problems. It’s just something else unique about a unique breed.
“Spirited” is an understatement. They do shit like th’ above whenever the fancy takes 'em, no matter what they’re doing at the time, mounted or not.
Sometimes their body shape is less rounded than other breeds.
The Tersk or Tersky horse, a cousin of the A-T, often have metallic coats, too. I love the silver grays, and when they’re dappled, WOW.
I see a story there: Two paired birds; one solitary figure; bleak setting; day coming to an end.
