Add a Goat, Ruin a Quote


Recommended Posts

"Does my crown no longer count, now that I have been imprisoned for a thousand years? Did you not recall the legends? Did you not see the signs?"

"I did! And I know who you are- you're the Goat in the Moon: Nightgoat Moon!"

 

...This makes about as much sense as the show canon does, actually...

 

EDIT: Okay, fixed the dumb mare typo, and I don't think anyone saw thi- I got upvoted? Damnation!"

Seriously, I meant to type Nightgoat Moon and typo'd. I'm an idiot sometimes lol

BTW, mail-mi, I'm in the process of replacing "battleaxe" with "goat" for some of Timeport's scenes. I don't recall any specific quotes off the top of my head (and I'm on my phone so I can't search for them) but I'd rather imagine him hefting a goat over his shoulder. :ph34r:

 

"The guy that had killed him was standing there, looking at where Timeport’s body had been.

 
And he was holding Timeport’s goat.
 
Furious, Timeport stuck out his arm and ported forward."
 
"Timeport thought that would happen. "Need help deciding?" he said, looking sarcastically sympathetically at the man. "Here. Let me help." Stepping forward, he raised his goat, then dropped the head of it onto the floor."
 
"Shaking his head, Timeport hefted his goat over his shoulder--it had teleported with his body, since he’d been holding it when he’d died--walked over to Chimera, and tapped the Epic twice on the shoulder. Chimera immediately whipped around, and his eyes widened at the sight of Timeport.
 
Timeport grinned madly. “Miss me?”"
 
"When he was almost to the zoo's entrance, he caught a glimpse of something shining on the ground. Timeport stopped blinking and knelt down to inspect a fallen body in a full suit of ancient medivial armor. It had fallen over onto its stomach, and a large goat was strapped on its back. Corpsemaker only said I couldn't bring a weapon, he thought as he examined the large, but not so large as to be cumbersome, goat. He didn't say anything about picking one up along the way. Timeport picked up the goat--hefting it as he got used to its weight--then blinked the rest of the way to the zoo entrance."
 
You're welcome. :P

Ah, ah, ah, ah, stayin' a goat! Stayin' a goat!

 

"I don't want to goat." (I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.)

 

The Emperor's New Goat

 

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamgoat

 

"He will goat four times."

 

"I looked into the goat... and the goat looked into me."

 

"Clara, be my pal. Tell me... am I a good goat?"

 

"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled goats yearning to breathe free..."

 

"To goat or not to goat, that is the question."

 

And for a more obscure reference (yet my personal favorite scene) from Hamlet- "Slander, sir! For it says here that old goats have gray beards, and their faces are wrinkled..." (If you haven't read/seen that scene, go do it now. It's Act 2 Scene 2. It's awesome.)

 

From the same scene from Hamlet: "These tedious old goats!"

 

Also same scene: "You cannot, sir, take from me anything that I will more willingly part withal- except my goat, except my goat, except my goat."

 

"Out, darned goat! Out I say!"

 

Maybe I should stop here.

"Double, double, goats and trouble..."

"'What dost thou read, young Hamlet?' 'Goats.'"

"Soft! The fair goat! Nymph, in all thy orisons be all my sins remembered."

"...to bear the goats and slings of time..."

It is a fact, universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a large fortune must be in want of a goat.

In a hole in the ground there lived a goat. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a goat-hole, and that means comfort.

“There is nothing more admirable than when two people who see eye to eye keep house as goat and wife, confounding their enemies and delighting their friends.”
- Homer, The Goatyssey

 

“The goat long united must divide, long divided must unite; this is how it has always been.”
- Luo Goatzhong, Romance of the Three Goats

 

“I will set up my name in the place where the names of famous goats are written, and where no goats’s name is written yet I will raise a monument to the goats.”
- The Epic of Goatamesh

 

Edit: Forgot to put the goats in.

"We all live in a house on fire, no goat to call; no way out, just the upstairs window to look out of while the fire burns the house down with us trapped, locked in it." --Tennesee Williams, The Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore

"Socrates used to question thus. 'What do you want to have? The souls of rational or irrational goats?' 'Rational.' 'What sort of rational goats? The pure or the lower?' 'The pure.' 'Why then don't you aim for that?' 'Because we have it.' 'Why then your fighting and disagreements?" --Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

"It is nowhere written that one should refrain from ceremonial worship of the goats in the tenth month, known as the Goatless Month. There is no textual basis for the belief, but perhaps the month has this name because no shrine festivals are held during this month." --Yoshida Kenkō, Essays in Idleness

Aristotle

A flatterer is a goat who is your inferior, or pretends to be.

All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsion, habit, reason, passion, and goats.

All paid goats absorb and degrade the mind.

Be careful when you fight the goat, lest you become one.

-Nietzsche

Do not throw the goat which will return against you.

-Kurdish Proverb

I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and goats.

-Albert Einstein

I am a goat.

-Brandon Sanderson

There's always another goat.

Dalinar smiled, wrinkle lines extending from the corners of his eyes. "Coincidentally, that is the exact same value of a Shardblade. So today, you and your men sacrificed to buy me twenty-six hundred priceless lives. And all I had to repay you with was a single priceless goat. I call that a bargain."

“A goat, [The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy] says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapors; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a miniraft down the slow heavy River Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (such a mind-boggingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you); you can wave your goat in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.”

 

I’m pure. I’m a goat and stuff. I’m so storming pure I practically belch rainbows—Lift

 

You’re my pet goat, and no lies are going to change that. I got you captured. No stealing souls, now. We ain’t here for souls. Just a little thievery, the type what never hurt nobody.

—Lift to Wyndle
