I used to have goats as a child (now i have pods and Internets)
@One Love If you look around, there are plenty of goatse on the internet.
Oh wait...
@r3loaded
I'd watch out. Rumor is if you say goatse 3 times... the giver will show up at your door.
Goats are stealing our jobs and eventually our women! Just kidding...go goats!
@the music major
and this is why india takes care of their animals so well.
@the music major
Dey..took..our..jerbs!!!
@the music major by women, you mean sheep?
@the music major : Wouldn't the goats be stealing a woman's job? :)P
@One Love
They weren't in the kitchen.
@Shooter McGavin...knew I would get far into these comments before see'g that...hilarious....
T-Mobile you listening, I want a dog to eat a Samsung Vibrant. Thanks.
Back in the day at NC State, they used goats from the vet school to clear out kudzu to make way for new buildings. Goats are kinda awesome.
@CtrlBurn Goats are a scourge on the planet. In some areas of the world they contribute to increasing desertification by eating not just the cover plants but their roots too, so that they can't grow back. Fortunately they are also kind of tasty. So we have a potential solution waiting just around suppertime.
I like goat cheese.
@icepop77
Oh man, a nice piece of Chreve rolled in Peppercorn or Ash is soul bling. Or with some fresh berries ironically enough....
Doesn't that GOat in the video before you hit play look like a Unicorn. I love Unicorns, goats suck. ( attacked by one as a child )( then we ate it ).
@SOOPERGOOMAN
fainting goats don't suck
Men Who Hire Goats.
Must be being paid minimum wage like I am at mcdonald's. I would love to be a goat instead of making fries.
Goats eating blackberry bushes??
Umm, the Seattle area has been doing this for many years. Our parks, Boeing plants - everyone hires small herds of goats to go through everything. Why is this news?
@BigCobra22
Seriously? If you live in the Seattle area, then you know how idiotic the newscasters for King Broadcasting are. I live in Portland and only watch KGW to see how fat Tracy Barry’s lips are when she gets yet another botox injection - that’s how bad their newscasts are.
OTOH, I want to find out which butcher’s going to end up with the goats. Roast goat, infused with a hint of blackberry. Hmmmm.
@BigCobra22 Because it involves Cricket Wireless and this is a technology blog! Sheesh use a little imagination will ya!
I live in northern Cali and blackberry bushes suck. They grow everywhere and they are sharp as shit. They're kinda like the terminator, they can not be stopped. They can't be reasoned with.
@lakersin2025 And, as I've found out, the thorns are indeed big enough to penetrate your bicycle tires and puncture the inner-tube. I wonder how the goats deal with them?
@CityZen
I doubt the goats are riding bikes, so it's not really a problem for them
The ant and the grasshopper could not be reached for comment.
Goats and Blackberries? I thought this was about the Middle East.
i'd like goats better if there eyes werent so freaky.
So who removes the Goat poop ?
@Xoy Eco friendly fertilizer or bomb-making ingredient
Do those goats have men staring at them?
so you basically hire a God Of All Tournaments to eliminate/dominate the landscape?
What a wonderful combination of a low tech solution to a problem involving a hi tech solution
silly goats are eating the fence!
Good for Cricket— Great idea!
The Goat is pwnage.
Cant wait until Engadgets goat review
