"Hold muh beer while I --OUCH! What the hell did you do THAT for?!?!???"

[Texas Mom]

I thought it was worth a few laughs... Only in Texas, a whole other country... LOL!

[Maceman]

I'm not laughing.

[Texas Mom]

I'm not laughing that the old goat was castrated, I'm laughing that the town elected a goat mayor and an alcholic beer no less.

Although he is probably a better mayor than some I have known of.

Many moons ago, when I lived in a fraternity house, people would ask me if we had any brothers from foreign countries. My stock reply:

"Yes, we have 5. One from Canada, one from Mexico, and 3 from Texas."

The Texans would sometimes show mock indignation, and other times profess how glad they were to live outside the USA, away from all that trailer trash.

Anyone who has been here very long has to agree it is a whole different country, like it or not. Another saying is " Texas is a State of mind."

Clyde gave up playin the bass, now he's a politician.

I’m laughing! In fact, if The Good Lord invented a better use for a T1 line than viewing stories about Texans facing trials for castrating alcoholic mayors in row over beer stories, then I don’t know what it is.

Really though, shouldn’t this be posted under breaking news?

I see that things in Texas haven't changed since I fled back to my homeland.

Few residents of Lajitas, in West Texas, see it as any sort of mitigation of the alleged crime that the victim is an alcoholic goat.

Well, I'm with them. We alcoholic goats are outraged!

and why isn't this guilty as sin in-duh-vidual being charged with a hate crime?

Did it say what color the ole goat was? If he is white, that explains it.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Is this deja vu all over again? lol.......This was posted about two weeks ago.......and someone mentioned that at least the guy didn't have a goat roast.......... lol

[P7M13]

Most goats I know are mixed. Maybe predominately white is the problem. But I bet the in-duh-vidual would still not let even an almost all white goat marry his sister. Of course, after the hate crime, it is a mute point.

[P7M13]

I didn't mention a roast, but I did mention that the goat was self marinating himself. cervasa and cabrito. the national foods of texas. although a good chicken fried steak with enough cream gravy to plug all the arteries at once is good too!!!

Maybe they can elect the goat to take Sheila Jackson-Lee's seat.
