goat-tree

Give me your best shot.  I am not sure what the winner will get yet, but I will figure something out that will either be great, or really embarrassing. 

Judging will be done by me in a most subjective and unfair way.

Good luck!

    Oh wait, wait, I’ve thought of a better version:

    “Common goat finds himself in a sticky situation after a particularly strong breeze.”

    (Still probably a uniquely Canadian joke, but now at least it’s got a pun in it)

    It was a beautiful day and the sky was clear. As Torgo climbed a tree to survey the grasslands of his forefathers, he thought to himself – “I take care of the place while the Master is away.”

    But there I was, I was taken to a place, the base of the three kings
    I stood high upon a three top, naked to the world
    In front of every kind of girl, there was
    black ones, round ones, big ones, crazy ones…

    My caption above might need a little explaining. To repeat it:

    It was a beautiful day and the sky was clear. As Torgo climbed a tree to survey the grasslands of his forefathers, he thought to himself – “I take care of the place while the Master is away.”

    In order to understand this, you will have to watch the movie “Manos: hands of fate.” Which is widely regarded as the worst movie of all time. Torgo is a cult figure and servant of the master. Plus he is half human/half goat satyr, but in the movie he just looks deformed. It is a great movie, I recommend the MST3K version.
