Post by: Asmodai on June 25, 2006, 11:37:51 AM

LONDON -- A British army regiment's mascot goat was demoted in disgrace after it disrupted a parade before a host of international dignitaries to mark the Queen's birthday, a military spokesman said Saturday. (http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20060624/goat_demoted_060624/20060624?hub=TopStories)The military mascot, a six-year-old male goat called Billy, was downgraded from the rank of lance-corporal to fusilier -- the same status as a private -- after army chiefs ruled his poor display ruined the ceremony June 16 at a British army base in Episkopi, western Cyprus.

I'm kinda curious how they'll explain this to the goat...

Couldn't they just kill it, roast it whole, and eat it like the bedouins do in the old days in Morocco?

I'd call dibs on one of the nuts.
