Thank you, so much, dear New Song.

If language is some kind of barrier (instead of a bridge), I guess I'm finding it here. I was doing my best to follow into what are you talking about because I can see you have a lot of fun, but simply it is not enough for me to keep your rithm, so, I resign.

I hope you'll have a nice rodeo and enjoy it a lot! These kind of little things make life more flavourful!!!

God bless all of you.

P.S.: Take care of your noses! LOL

First, Doc, you better be very well prepared because I have this feeling that Kimmie will get out there and start laughing, fall on the ground, and probably get trampled by the goat!

Brakhus, let me try something. I think it is good for you to understand our language and humor.

Part of the problem is there is a lot of nonsense happening right now.

1. Doc and Kimmie have entered a goat dressing contest. It will happen in early July. Kimmie lives in England and Doc lives in the states. So, they cannot practice together. The goal of the contest is to get a pair of shorts (men's underwear) on the goat.

2. Doc was seeking information as to how to handle a goat. Rose offered help from some people in Wisconsin. Because of a movie called
"The Horse Whisperer", Rose and Doc started talking about being a "goat whisperer" So Doc is trying to find out what to say to the goat, how to talk to the goat, and how not to get kicked in the face. She wants to keep the goat calm.
Doc must have also learned she was going to need a lot of upper arm strength so she is lifting weights to make her arms stronger!

Don't know if this helps, but at least I tried!

Thank you dear Groucho! Thank you very much!
I noticed how much fun you are having in this thread, and I would wish to follow what is happening.
I believe I could follow you now in a better way thank your explanation. (I'm pretty slow in this kind of themes).

Humor is very difficult to get in a foreign language, as you can imagine!

So, I'm going not to bother anymore with my out of place posts, and I'll continue reading what is happening, and trying to get it. In addition, as you say, I'll try to learn that (for me... unusual) language. I envy (in a nice way) your capability to understand what Kimmie writes. It is easier for me to translate biblical ancient greek!!!

Brakhus...First, NO ONE totally understands Kimmie's language! I've learned that if you read it very, very, very fast, it makes more sense. But, since you are trying to translate it in your head, it's hard to read it that fast! Don't feel bad about not understanding it...we all need to take lessons in "Kimmie" as a Foreign Language! Second, your interpretation of what is going on here is making it even more fun, so please, please stay in the conversation!

Groucho...I LOVED your explanation...each of these individual posts make it more and more fun.

Linda...have you talked to Kimmie about her desire to marry a goat?! Inquiring minds want to know! lol

LMBO! (laughing my butt off)

I actually laughed out loud and that and snorted a little. I haven't giggled that hard in awhile. Thanks NewSong.

Well, ladies, encouraged by New Song, I want to advise some of you, if it is possible. So, I find a wonderful book called "How to dress a goat in ten 10-min lessons you can learn at home", by Dr. B. Rakhus (G.D.) (You must know him, of course, he is famous!)

Here is how:

1. Take tenderly a goat and sit it in right possition in the middle of rodeo's arena.
2. Look at its eyes (directly and with strong will) at a short distance.
3. Watch your noses to avoid an unexpected bite.
4. Induce a nice relaxating state (you can use Goat-Mind Control or other adequated technic)
5. Keep watching your noses.
6. Convince the goat to ignore crowd's cries of emotion.
7. Keep watching your noses.
8. Hipnotize the goat.
9. When goat was hipnotized, dress it, always watching you know what.
10. Goat is dressed, happy and relaxated.

The procedure above is not 100% effective, but laboratory's proofs (about 3,123,456.78 goats in 4 years) promise some woundrous achievements. Scientist cannot explain what happened with the 0.78 of a goat.

The colateral effect could be, as scientists often warn, is this: tamer could be the hipnotized one, and finish dressed as a goat, with a humiliating result (goat will be laughin a lot, and the crowd too!!!)

Hope this help.

(P.S.: G.D. means Goat Doctor)

Listen Kimmie and Doc, Brakhus may have yoru answer!

Groucho, You did a good job explaining all of this craziness, hmmmm you must be a great teacher.

New Song, I'm so glad that you don't understand Kimmie either.....one of her last posts I read and re-read it about 10 times and still didn't understand what she was trying to say. Sheesh it looked like english but I think it was actually Zimbo.

And Brahkus, I got a good laugh at you 0.78 of a goat.....good one........

Brakhus

I'm so GLAD you've joined in the fun!!! What a great way to start my morning read online. I'm still suppressing the giggles! ROFL (rolling on the floor laughing!)

I might suggest that your caution about watching the nose could be good, however, women, yes and men too spend thousands of dollars each year getting "nose jobs" just think what Michael J could have saved if he'd gone to a rodeo. Anyway, people like Durante and Bob Hope could also have been "beautified" had they run the goat gauntlet! So ladies, you must decide "what price beauty" and if a "nose job" is in your calendar, Don't watch "you know what" and you can save the big bucks.

Laughter is the best medicine, this thread is definitely giving me a "funny bone" alignment, and cheaper than a visit to a chiropractor. Ladies "happy goat dressing".

Proverbs 17:22
A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.

Searcher? Are you going to video this event for us? At least take some pics that we can see!

Doc, just be sure you are hypnotising the GOAT and not KIMMIE! I have this image in my mind of a cross-eyed Doc (watching her nose), thinking that she is hypnotising a goat, actually hypnotising Kimmie and then Kimmie trying to dress Doc in bloomers!

Hmmmmmm Nose jobs weeelll i still think the goat may respond to my prposal.

Brakus dont worry I dont lnow what i am saying most of the time (shhhh dont tell anyone))

Eh Eh Rio which post was that the one where I simply said good morning ??????

New Song Linda is grunting in fron of the world cup dont think you gonna get an answer!!!!!!!

ROFL--This thread just keeps getting better & better! Well, we have arranged for searcher to be our official videographer, yes.....But today I FINALLY got around to figuring out that there was an ATTACHMENT to one of the last e-mails you sent me, Rio--and hence, found out about the LESS THAN 12 SECOND record for this competition! AND that there is no upper limit for time! AND that your friend who took a whole 26 seconds last year to perform this event was really embarrassed at her ineptitude, even though the crowd thought it was hilarious....SO now I'm thinking a few things to myself:
1. There is NO WAY Kimmie & I could even run across the arena in 12 seconds.
2. Will the crowd STILL be laughing after 26 MINUTES? Or 26 HOURS? When we're STILL out there chasing each other in circles (being totally confused, having hypnotized each other & the goat probably watching from the sidelines along with everybody else...)????
3. I have this horrible fear the only thing in my mind on the actual day of the event, as I stand in the arena, will be, "WATCH YOUR NOSE!" What kind of technique is THAT, anyway????

Sheesh DewDoc,listening to you I'm getting butterflies, lol.

The hard part will be riding my pony in the barrel race which is right after the goat dressing, I'll probably keep falling off cuz I'll still laughing at you two

I have it all in my mind now. Doc and Kimmie will begin running into the arena. Kimmie will fall down laughing. Doc will trip over Kimmie. accidentally placing the bloomers on Kimmie's head. Kimmie will try to get up (bloomers over eyes). Kimmie will begin to flail around. Doc will attempt to help Kimmie. Out of curiousity, the goat will walk over, Kimmie and Doc will stumble onto the goat. The goat's hind legs will go into the air. The bloomers will slip right onto the goat. After the event, the rodeo coordinator will try to sign both Kimmie and Doc up as rodeo clowns.

Searcher, you better take a tripod. Otherwised the video will be all shaky as you laugh while trying to tape it.

Rio, maybe you should NOT watch this live. I would hate for you to get hurt while laughing and barrel racing.

Carol - Do not worry about the marrying of the goat - she is copying the words of a song on Sprinsteen's latest record - except he is doing the nursery rhyme The Froggie Went A-courting - when the frog asked a mouse to marry him.

If you havent heard it, give it a listen and you'll get the tune.

On our return from the rodeo, we can all give our own versions of how much of a success the goat whisperers are.

Yeeehaaw
p.s. Kimmie speaks ok, just something goes wrong when her fingers try to go as fast as her thoughts!!

See, I told you that you have to read it as fast as she's thinkin' it! It makes perfect sense to me!

LOL

ROFL--Groucho, you have just EXACTLY described the scenario I've been envisioning in my head! As to Kimmie's writing vs. speaking....I've heard her speak, too, and I think the jury is still out on that--LOL! It might be safer for Rio to just watch the video AFTER her barrel racing, though, now that you mention it...

so!!!!!!!I dont type,I dont speak!!!!I am apparently incapable of co-herent thought and yet you all keep goading me back here to type speak and think some more >>>>>>>things that make you go hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm !!!!!!!

OH i can spell either

But we love you "Just the Way You Are!"
