Someone volunteer to take care of my new goat.

No payment or reward offered beyond the knowledge that you have kept it alive.

I'm not interested in keeping them alive, but I'll eat whatever ones you've killed if you haven't been experimenting on them.

Waste not want not.

[3potionproblem]

Of course I've been experimenting on them.

[greenteengenius]

No surprises there. Well, if you manage to kill one in a more natural way, let me know. I've never had goat.

[3potionproblem]

We'll see. I don't plan on letting the new one die. But it depends on the response to this advertisement.

[greenteengenius]

I am a little doubtful of your abilities to keep the goat alive. Either you will pay it too little attention, and it will starve, or you'll pay it too much attention, and it will ... whatever happened to the last one.

But who knows, someone may have pity on your poor goat.

[bonafide_divinity]

I hate to break it to you, Holmes, but nobody is going to want to look after your goat pro-bono. However, I'm sure that if we talked things over, we could work out a reasonable rate for [inkblot] goat-care services.

[3potionproblem]

And what exactly do these services entail?

[bonafide_divinity]

Well, [inkblot] I would feed it. And check it for diseases [inkblot] periodically. Make sure it gets enough exercise. [another inkblot] among other things.

[How the Hell do you take care of a goat?]

[3potionproblem]

In other words, you'd find some idiot to work for a lesser fee for you to do the actual dirty work.

[bonafide_divinity]

Of course not, Holmes! What would make you think that? After all, what's to stop you from going directly to the idiot I would employ for a lesser fee. I can assure you that I will be performing any and all goat-caring tasks on my own.

[Although that's wouldn't be a bad idea if enough people decided to pawn their goats off on him. He'll be keeping that in mind.]

[arrogantalloy]

You leave out hay, and keep it away from Hulk.

Even you with your 'superior intellect' can manage that.

[3potionproblem]

I prefer a true zero maintenance solution.

[arrogantalloy]

We keep them in a paddock. I barely go out there once a week to make sure mine hasn't been eaten by Hulk.

[speterman]

How can you possibly have problems keeping goats alive?

[3potionproblem]

They need to be fed.

[speterman]

Most living organisms do.

[3potionproblem]

Apparently.

[Which reminds him he hasn't eaten since Friday...]

[moveslikejaeger]

i can do it! i love the little goaties :)

[3potionproblem]

Good. It's outside. I wrote my name on it.

[moveslikejaeger]

kay!

who are you again?

[3potionproblem]

Holmes. Sherlock.

[eighttimeshandy]

So I'm assuming Herbert and I get all the dead ones?

[3potionproblem]

Herbert will.

You are?

[eighttimeshandy]

Eriq Slepner.

I was the dead kid.

Anyway, I work with Herbert.

[3potionproblem]

Oh, you're back. That's even less interesting than hovering around as a ghost. Still, I'm sure you make a much better wizard in the flesh.
