This used to be a big part of Christmas back when things were lively with old friends posting every day. I can't remember who posted it every year. Or even quite what it was about, some statue that got burned down every year? But we all put in a random date and someone won it and it was a fun thing. Anyone got any better memories of what this thing was all about?
Whatever, my random date is 21st December.
Just trying to bring some old fun stuff from 'back in the day'.
;)

December 17th.for me...

It was me who was posting this of recent years, can't take the credit for bringing it to here originally but it does but it does bring a bit of fun, thanks MR for remembering and doing the honours this year.
I like some of the stories on here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gävle_goat (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gävle_goat)
Anyway my hat is on survival :D
Cheers

I've never got even close to getting it right, however,,, Boxing day !

cheers guys, nice to bring back a classic NMA Forum tradition! I'll check in on it every day but if anyone notices that the goat has perished, feel free to chip in! In the mean time here's a live link to what's going on... first time anyone's actually posted a picture of it?

I'll take 21st! The bastard is so well guarded nowadays that it'll probably survive this year too, but one can dream... ;D
-
That's a bit harsh.....not a goat lover then... ;D...
-
Well, every year I've noted that world isn't exactly getting better while that damn goat goes unharmed once again and that Maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea to try some old pagan methods like, sarcifices.... ;D
-
Dunno if this has ever been posted but 'Mock The Week' did a bit about the Gavle Goat... and it's pretty funny. ;D

Well, since I've "won" 2 times now I'll go for the 27th. Let's hope it burns once again! :D
-
Well that's me wrong................unless.....
-
Ha! This damn goat just wont die ;)
Never been right but its gonna go in a blaze of glory on new years eve i tell ya

The Youtube link to the 24 hour 'goatcam' was down for a bit the other night and I automatically assumed I'd have to post 'EMERGENCY CODE RED! THE GOAT IS DOWN! REPEAT, THE GOAT IS DOWN!'... but no, the handsome straw chappie is still standing... ;D
Good to hear from you, Anna, best Christmas wishes to you and yours. ;)

Seems jc was on the money this time, the goat survived. I nearly covered my laptop screen in coffee when I read on wikipedia what happened to 2023's goat, pulled to bits by hungry jackdaws!
-
Yay!
Happy new year to all and let’s hope that goat gets it this year.
Cheers

I completely forgot about the whole thing... ;D
But I'm proud of the big straw chappie for surviving another year.
