queensthiefYes, this post deserves three !'s and I will tell you why! I was minding my own business at the gas station when I decided to buy a drink-of the fruit juice variety-and right there inside the cap this is what it said:
Fact #737
Did you know mountain goats are not actually goats?
NO.
In fact they are actually antelope.
*GASP*
That's right!!! Mountain goats are ANTELOPE..in disguise! Just like a CERTAIN GOAT FOOT WE KNOW (andlove) was this a master plan that MWT had known all along? Is this symbolic to Gen's tricky two sided nature?! Is Gen actually an antelope hoof instead of a goat foot? Do antelope baa and bleet? Am I an overly obessive fan?! #thequestions!
Plus I want someone to make a witty joke, involving Irene, Antelope and Elope. xD
////This is my first post in on Sounis in a while! Missed you guys =D

Date: 3/9/12 02:43 am (UTC)I'm quoting this word-for-word from Wikipedia, the article entitled Mountain goat: The mountain goat is an even-toed ungulate of the order Artiodactyla and the family Bovidae that includes antelopes, gazelles, and cattle. It belongs to the subfamily Caprinae (goat-antelopes), along with thirty-two other species including true goats, sheep, the chamois, and the musk ox. The mountain goat is the only species in the genus Oreamnos. The name Oreamnos is derived from the Greek term oros (stem ore-) "mountain" (or, alternatively, oreas "mountain nymph") and the word amnos "lamb".
1. They are the only species in their genus---one of a kind! Just like a certain someone...
2. Their name is derived from Greek (like most biological classifications, I know, but still!) for "mountain" and "lamb" which is just perfect considering how good Gen is at imitating lambs while climbing staircases up mountains.
3. I noticed horses are not members of Bovidae. Further research reveals that they aren't a member of Artiodactyla, either, being odd-toed and not even-toed. So they are as distant from horses as it is possible to get within the ungulates i.e. hoofed mammals! Which is, I'm sure, where Eugenides would want to be.
Biology as a metaphor for QT = win.

Date: 3/9/12 05:13 am (UTC)The "oreamnos" bit in Drashizu's comment automatically made me think of Ornon, for no good reason other than he's the ambassador from the mountains and has two o's, an r, and an n in his name. Still, what can you do?

Date: 3/9/12 01:44 pm (UTC)This is funny! Yet another example of Gen fooling us all into thinking he's something he isn't.
Thanks for sharing, Elle, Welcome back!

Under that logic, I should also be long gone for that Lady Gaga joke! XD

POKE HER FACE!
Ahem... Yes, it's bad. My brother's fault, and I keep on spreading it around. Even his wife complains about his frequent bad jokes. XD They have a little comedy routine about it for entertaining guests!

Gen the hoofed Antelope. Instead of "goat foot"
We have now uncovered yet another hidden truth.

no subject
Date: 3/10/12 01:57 am (UTC)If puns led to banishment, Leslie would have been sent to the peninsula long ago. However, no matter how groan-worthy, clever puns point to keen intelligence, and we know that Sounisians have that in spades. Bottom Line: we will not only keep the punsters, we will encourage them to continue to inundate us with limericks, parodies, and insulting poems in iambic pentameter. That way we can keep not only Leslie, but Dite, too.
Another question--can antelopes produce the warm, soft wool necessary for Eddisian underwear?

Date: 3/10/12 02:18 am (UTC)Puns exist everywhere, but in Wisconsin, it's almost a religion. We have more bars named The Crowbar (with little pictures of crows on the sign) than we have main streets! XD It's so awful, but there's no escaping the madness!
Also, if someone says to me, "Take all the dam pictures you want." in regards to the historic Wisconsin River dams, I will find an ink pot to throw at their head. Same goes for the glacier carved rock formation (http://www.beletti.com/travel/080405/piano_rock_sm.jpg) that looks like a piano. "It still plays some hard rock." *head desk*

My heart beets for you.
With you turnip nose
And your radish face,
You are a peach.
If we cantaloupe,
Lettuce marry.
Weed make a swell pear.

Date: 3/10/12 06:27 am (UTC)And to think, all this started with one little book. Do you think MWT factored us into her ripple effect calculations? "Hmm, let's see. I'll start with a Newberry worthy masterpiece and end somewhere with 300 reprobates and hairy underwear."
I love you, Sounis.
