More goats? What is a boy to do?

I am back. I guess that is obvious so call me Captain Obvious. I need the promotion and do so like the title. Anyway, came across another goat story. What is up with that? Apparently, due to the heavier than usual rains this winter in California, the underbrush has really grown. Now, in the dry season, it gets....dry and becomes great fuel for brush fires. That is what is happening in Arizona as we speak (or as I type, betcha did not know that). In California, they are using goats to munch on the vegetation. They also are using goats to eat the underbrush under high voltage lines near nuclear reactors. I guess they should know that there are 43 "homeless" or soon to be homeless goats in Germany that can be had if the price is right.

Also there is a Peruvian beauty queen, Miss Peru, who is bitching at her doctor. The plastic surgeon claims to have given her (is it really "given", anyway) buttocks implants and trimmed her ears. She was really in a snit. She is a natural beauty and besides he just gave her a nose job and breast implants. Other than that, it is all natural. Could somebody send this woman some perspective, please.

And in my final thought of the week (I don't intend to consider thinking again until some time on Monday) here is a little story to digest. It is from the "There's No Such Thing as a Free Lunch (TNSTAAFL)" file. Here is the story, enjoy.

LEXINGTON, Ky. - A woman who won a radio contest that promised the winner "100 grand" sued after the station gave her a candy bar — a Nestle's 100 Grand — instead of $100,000.
Norreasha Gill filed a complaint Wednesday in Fayette District Court against Atlanta-based Cumulus Media, which owns WLTO-FM in Lexington. Gill, 28, says the station and its parent company breached a contract to pay $100,000 to the contest winner.
Night host DJ Slick sponsored the station's contest to "win 100 grand," Gill said in the lawsuit. Gill won by listening to the radio show for several hours and being the 10th caller at a specified time.
She went to the radio station the next morning to pick up her prize, but was asked to return later. When she got home, she found that the station manager had left a message explaining she had won a 100 Grand candy bar, not money.
Later, he offered her $5,000, Gill said.
"I said I wanted $95,000 more," she said. "Nobody would watch and listen for two hours for a candy bar."
DJ Slick did not return an e-mail from the Herald-Leader, but he said on his Web site that he had left his job. WLTO and Cumulus declined to comment, identify DJ Slick by his given name or say whether he was fired.
Experts said the radio station could face action by the
Federal Communications Commission' name regulations say contest descriptions can't be false or deceptive and that stations must conduct contests as advertised. Stations in two other states have been fined for contests that told listeners they'd won cash prizes without specifying they were in the Italian or Turkish lira, not the U.S. dollar.
Before her family went to sleep that night, Gill says, she promised her children — ages 1, 5 and 11 — that they'd have a minivan, a shopping spree, a savings account and a home with a back yard.
"What hurts me is they were going to get me in front of my children, all dressed up, and hand me a candy bar, after all those promises I made to them," she told the Lexington Herald-Leader. "You just don't do that to people."
A prank in Florida led to a similar lawsuit that was settled in 2002. A former waitress claimed Hooters promised to award her a new Toyota car — but instead gave her a toy Yoda.

Obviously, she wasted her time and was pissed, but it was a pretty funny prank. I like that toy Yoda one, too. Damn, people are stupid and nobody ever went poor overestimating the stupidity of others. I wish I were a cruel person because I think that I could take advantage of the vast majority of the population, but of course, not any my loyal readers.

Have a happy and healthy weekend and set those minds to "NO THOUGHTS". Ciao.
