Trivial and Absurd

The sign from the South Bend Brew Werks speaks for itself. The book below it needs a little introduction.  Author Thomas Thwaites spends time as a goat and writes about it, and it is reviewed by Austin Bailey in World Ark. Of the book Bailey says,

[Twaites] seems ultimately to enjoy his few days of goat life, but fails to give it much meaning. In the end, Thwaites comes off more like a stunt man looking for validation than a serious thinker in search of a vacation from the human condition.

However, Bailey goes on to say the book contains lots of “interesting factoids."

For example, did you know that jockeys used to put goats in pens with horses the night before a big race to keep the horses calm? Jockeys would sometimes steal the competition's goat to upset a horse, hence the term “get his goat.”

Some days you just stumble across goofiness and entertainment.
