Sarang, I’m very grateful for that. Thank you very much. Someone sent me a link to a US goat on a roof some time ago; I’m pretty sure it wasn’t this one. This one I find very provocative — I mean, how dare he trademark rooftop goats.
The Al Johnson’s goat trademark doesn’t apply beyond U.S. borders, where roof goats also have marketing cachet.
Nevertheless, I’ve a good mind to put Holly & Misty & Vesla up on the roof and start selling sausages in the garden. There’s a lot of passing trade here on weekends. This house has a 60 degree pitch which is too steep for growing grass (we went through all that 15 years ago, probably before this man went to the trouble of TRADEMARKING HIS DAMNED ROOF). You’re small-minded, Lars Johnson, with your one idea, and “Flipper” is a very stupid name for a goat. Now sue me.
I missed that link of yours. In my review of what happened while I was in London I think there were five comments for me to read all at once; nothing for you, of course, but it was a lot for a small blog like this one, and I must have become confused. Thank you for alerting me to Mr Lars Johnson. I’m glad you’re on the look out, please don’t think I don’t appreciate it.
Yes, thank you very much for that one too. It’s a good goat imitation. Not as good as Slim Gaillard’s chicken in Chicken Rhythm, though (which I’m sure you & Dearie know, but others may not).
Wow, Le Quattro Volte looks fantastic. Thanks, Language. There are some still photos taken from it here. And some more good pictures here. I wonder if it’ll ever come to Norway? Maybe I could see it in England, or eventually get it on video. I’ve got to see it somehow. They look like interesting goats, and very well depicted — I particularly liked the group shot called Il gregge (“The flock”) in the photo gallery.
A Bad Guide
ohhh :-)
Neither do I…
One of our cats likes to rub heads. But he doesn’t dance.
Does the other one?
Doesn’t dance, doesn’t wink, doesn’t take a glass of wine: a bit of a dull dog in fact.
A little off-topic but have you seen this story yet? Lars Johnson Has Goats on His Roof and a Stable of Lawyers to Prove It.

Sarang, by the way, has an interesting literary blog, The Glass-Bottom Blog.
Don’t mind me, I’ll just sit in the corner and talk to myself.
Aw, cheer up, Hat. Let me recommend
Good heavens, Language.

“Le Quattro Volte” by Michelangelo Frammartino turns its crazily sublime views of the Italian countryside into an animist tour de force. One of the principal characters is a tree, and most of the dialogue is in goat, without subtitles.
