Gavle Goat 2025
« on: December 04, 2025, 08:37:42 PM »

C'mon, it's a Christmas tradition amongst us folks!    ;D

It seems like the big straw lad has survived the last couple of years, maybe the security got a lot better, but just inn case anyone wants to take bets on whether the traditional burning will happen then this is the place to do it!  ;)

Here's the link to the livefeed...

... but at what point does it stop being CPR and start being like trying to reanimate a corpse?

You lot seem to cherish the thought of this poor chap burning, I mean what's he ever done to you?  He just wants to give Christmas joy to the fine folks of Sweden!  Evil, every last one of youse. 

I predict and pray that the Gavel Goat will stand resplendent for the whole of Christmas!

Ah, maybe I'm just getting soft in my old age...   :-[

I'll be a heathen and predict the goat goes up in flames on the 21st as a Yule sacrifice!

I'll pick 19th. You gotta love the Wikipedia page of The Goat. "Repeated Destruction by Fire" must be one of the most metal subheadings of all time and, incidentally, the name of the newest song of my imaginary grind death band. Other songs inspired by the article being "Survived With Damage", "Method of Destruction" and "Pecked to Pieces by Jackdaws".

To be fair, it's very difficult to compete with the existing ones in grossness and offensiveness so I haven't yet  decided on the name.
