i take full responsibility for that hilarity.
@carl669 I knew I forgot something in that post.. it IS all your fault :)
@carl669 I was put down hard for blaming the Goat for something that Woot! did. One would have thought I had just typed "Your Welcome" or something like that. The Goat is only responsible for what goes south on Meh.
@Mehrocco_Mole that's because YOU blamed the goat for something outside of meh. if the goat blames him/herself, it's perfectly acceptable to step outside the confines of meh.
I suspect that the "office dogs" are taxidermy trophies from a neighborhood hunt.
Didn't know what was so wrong with it... until I checked that first link.
@luvche21 don't feel bad, neither did I.. until I got the second email, I hadn't clicked any of the links either!
That was great!
The inappropriate factor is a bit too contrasty. Perhaps it was all a plan by 13deals.com to drum up eyeballs when the "fiasco" got re-posted all over the wonderNet.
tl:dr glad I didn't have that knife laying around...
