"They kind of just like took over this neighborhood this morning." The employees of WeRentGoats.com were working on a patch of land in West Boise, Idaho this morning when a few of them found a break in the fence...
"They're very creative escape artists, sometimes" quotes the business owner.
The group decided to proceed down Summerland Drive and mingle with the local homeowners while eating everything in sight. The team was eventually transported back to the office but not after social media got their jokes in.

Look, we can have goats on your property in under two hours, any time, any day of the year. And for a reasonable fee, we won't.

The cool thing about goats is that, unlike sheep, they won't eat vegetation to the roots so the vegetation will grow back.
Visited a friend's folks who kept goats - yeah, they are incredibly difficult to contain, and they sometimes end up eating really weird things like sheet metal street signs.

Total goat rodeo, amirite? This is my favorite thing that happened this week, easily.
Goat rental is definitely a Thing. We have Allegheny Goatscape here in Pittsburgh, who are incredibly useful because we have a lot of hillsides too steep for actual humans to do any significant work on, but that are overrun with knotweed and other invasive plants.

Professional goats? Like, what do they do on their off-hours? Do they wear professional goat attire when on the job? Are there goats who don't meet the professional bar? Deadbeat, good-for-nothing goats?
As a professional human, I have so many questions.

I don't think I've told this story here before:
The first time I take acid I am living with my friend, who has got his hands on a vial of liquid. One summer afternoon we each put a drop inside an Oreo cookie, put our cookies in a sandwich bag, and take the bus into Tilden Park, in the Berkeley hills.
On the way in we see a van, which is painted along the side: "Goats R Us." We joke around a bit about what that could possibly mean. We get off the bus by the botanical garden and eat our cookies.
About three hours later we are peaking, walking along a trail with a plastic fence on one side, when we see, on the other side of the fence, a goat. Oh, sweet, it's a goat! At this point we've totally forgotten about Goats R Us.
We walk a little further and we see two or three more goats. Aww, it's a family of goats.
And then, and it feels like this happens very suddenly, there are dozens of goats. Goats over the horizon.
🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
We remember Goats R Us, though not having smartphones we are not quite sure what the goats are for until we get home. We lose our shit laughing.
I'm not much for the metaphysical, but sometimes you know the goats are there just for you.

(And it’s not like Idaho place names are totally foreign to me, either. I can pronounce Coeur d’Alene like a local — and Spokane, WA, for that matter — thanks to an early ’90s diet of US network television piped up to Alberta. I guess the cordelaynos are more into their Washington-adjacentness than hearing what the potatoes are up to, because Boise never came up.)

After years of studying French and living and working in francophone countries, I can’t hear any of those French-derived US place names that are, er, nontraditionally pronounced without an inward cringe. I outwardly accept USian pronunciation because I’m not a prescriptivist linguist. But in my heart, whenever I hear someone say “BOY-zee”, my internal dialogue echoes “bwahz”. Des Moines similarly becomes “deh mwahn” and “noo or-LEENZ” transforms to “noo or-ley-ahn”, at which point I realize I’m being silly and should just get over it, already.
Nevertheless, I want goats, and a few acres for them to roam and frolic.

Not French, but San Antonio has a street named Huebner. Which I know just enough German that I want to pronounce it HOYB-ner, but they insist on pronouncing HEEB-ner.
We have a Des Moines in these parts of Seattle, too. Being the individuals we are, we have our own mispronunciation: D'Moynz. We generally do the tar-JAY thing and pronounce it correctly when we go there.

I believe it would be pronounced HOYB-ner if it were spelled Heubner. With the spelling Huebner I think it's going to sound more like "hübner" which, I think to American ears would be more like trying to say "heebner" and "huubner" at the same time and getting jammed inbetween.

In the case of remote areas like Idaho, it’s because the French-Canadians who named the cities (or named the things or peoples the cities were later named after) were only there for like two seconds, and were mostly canoe-paddling fur traders, not permanent settlers. These places are not, and never have been, French, at all. Once they were eventually permanently settled by Europeans, it wasn’t by French ones, at all.
The huge swathes in the middle of the continent that were once part of New France-Quebec-Louisiana are a different, slightly more actually French story, but with the same flash flood of non-French Europeans at the end.

My cousin grew up with a pet goat (why? who knows). They kept the goat in a small enclosure with 8 foot walls, but the goat kept escaping. They couldn't figure out how, it seemed too high to jump. But they figured he was jumping out somehow, so they built the walls up another two feet. The goat escaped again. Finally, they set up a camera to see what was happening.
The goat would start running in tight circles, then run along the walls like a motorcycle up a wall of death, then jump out. They had to put a net over the top to stop him.
Yeah, some goats don't like to be caged.
