April 11th - "Of bullies and goats"

7

Preface: Galactic Goat isn’t a bodybuilder. In fact, he’s quite thin.

He’s not a young goat either, though still much closer to 1 than 100, the Goat matured beyond the boisterousness of youth some time ago. Maybe attributed more to the miles than the years. Galactic Goat has lived quite a bit of life during his time on this planet. This has made him a mellow goat. A very, very calm, accepting, mellow goat.

Of bullies and goats

While visiting Burger King for lunch today, it was kind of a shock for Galactic Goat to be threatened with physical violence. Apparently the Goat failed to show the proper respect to a young, bold bull, and didn’t kowtow out of the way as the bull walked by. The Goat wasn’t being obstinate, he was just… “being”. When confronted, the Goat simply said “sorry” and looked back at the menu board.

Not to be dismissed, the bull got up in the Goat’s grill and started spouting profanities. Still a bit surprised by the bull’s behavior, Goat just sort of… stood there. So bull pushed closer. Nose to nose with Goat. And still… Goat, not sure what the fuss was all about, continued to stand there. Chest to chest now, bull red in the face, spitting as he spouted his endless stream of profanity. Finally! The Goat had an “ah hah!” moment. “Double cheeseburgers! I’ll have a couple double cheeseburgers!”

Galactic Goat learned two very important lessons today at Burger King.

  1. Bullies don’t like it when the old scrawny goat doesn’t run away from them when they puff up and act the fool

But the most important lesson learned today

  1. Burger King double cheeseburgers are really more like sliders than actual burgers! Not much larger than the size of a White Castle burger or Peter Pan quarter burger.

Take it from Galactic Goat: if you’re looking for a meal rather than a snack, avoid the Burger King double cheeseburger.

Love and sprinkles and all that rainbow stuff @mfladd loves,

Oh, and in case you were wondering… bull, unsure what was going on… yelled a last string of profanities, and stomped out the door.
