High on a green sweep of Swiss Alps, grazing with a herd of goats, Thomas Thwaites is on all fours dressed as one of them.
Sweat is dripping off the end of my nose, Thwaites writes in his new book, Goat Man: How I Took a Holiday From Being Human (Princeton Architectural Press). My arms are on fire, and I cant really feel my knuckles, but I imagine theres not all that much skin left on them.
After months of preparation, Thwaites had finally achieved his goal: to become a goat. Researching their thought patterns, he learned that goats are most likely stuck in time, not able to think about the future or the past much, because they probably dont have episodic memory.

Humans wear clothes . . . goats don’t - so he is still a human despite the fact that he is ‘identifying’ himself a goat.
5 mins of my life that I’ll never get back.
I am actually a mule. A hard headed mule, I got it from my dad. His name was Austin, my husband calls me Austina.
Actually, do goats put up with border collies, or do they call B.S. and head-butt them.
Obama is already posting anti-discrimination suits against goats who won’t treat this “guy” as a full-fledged goat. Apparently they’re not using the correct pronoun.
Because he's insane. He belongs in a cracker bin, not roaming the Swiss mountainside ruining the grazing for the ovine creatures there.
Which is where you find bleating-heart liberals...
Ping.
A new protected class in the United States. Wonder which restroom he uses?
Getting a kick out of the bizarre.
Anybody remember the Tooter the Turtle cartoon?
Tooter’s segment consisted of simple homilies, the moral of which was “There’s no place like home”. Each episode, he’d call on his friend, Wizard the Lizard (whom he addressed as “Mr. Wizard”) and request a transfer to some fun past setting he’d been reading about. Then Wizard would use his magic to send Tooter there, and Tooter would find out it it wasn’t so much fun after all in fact, it would usually turn out downright painful. When he’d had enough, he’d cry out for Mr. Wizard to rescue him; and with the words “Drizzle, Drazzle, Drozzle, Drome, Time for this one to come home”, Wizard would immediately do so. He also, in his German accent, dispensed the advice, “Be what you is and not what you is not! Folks that is what they is, is the happiest lot!”
Uh....attention seeking compensation for an inferiority complex?
Here’s looking at you, kid.
He’s not a goat.
He’s a man dressed as a goat who does strange things with and to goats.
Fainting Goats are PROOF of God’s sense of humor!! Funniest animal ever!
If my grandmother had had wheels, she would have been a bicycle. But one day I stood inside my garage for too long, and I now self identify as a car. Beep! Beep!
Guess I’ll get into my four wheeled human & head for Lowe’s.
Dang... that’s just straight up strange! :-)
