Okay, so my friend read one of your stories and looks at your page every so often and she passed this on to me cause Good Omens is my favorite book in the world and I know I'm being a stalker because you have no idea who I am and I have no idea who you are but you posted this and it made my day and now I must go and share my excitement by giving my room mate (and the previously mentioned friend) a heart attack by flipping goats in our dorm room.
Yes, and you shall be entertained as I squeal and wiggle my fingers in a way that should disjoint them but doesn't. It's a feat that I can't even explain.
It's an epic story. My room mate lives in a very small, very rural part of north Texas, and attended school with kids from the same area. One day, a friend of hers was freaking out over something in Spanish class and exclaimed, "I will flip a goat!" Everyone's response was incredulous and giggly and consisted of, "Really? Flip a goat?" to which she replied, "Yes! I will find a goat and I will flip it!" When my friend told us this story, the term 'flip a goat' got started and now people think we're all weird. 8D
In all fairness, I myself have used many variations of flipping and flying. From flipping tables to flipping entire fandoms to flipping my icon (see above) to show how pissed I am, to flipping the world. Flying off the handle, the chain, the planet, the hook and so on... often with backflips and somersaults and swan dives.
More like I have the uncanny ability to take on Lovecraft-esque shapes when I get into an overexcited state.
I flipped lids and flipped shit (though it was never an enjoyable experience) before I was aware of the past time of flipping goats. Now that's all I do. That and make very inappropriate jokes which she only encourages. She's an enabler, you see.
Also, I see you are a fan of Lucky Star. You have only gone up in my eyes. Like you're sitting on car jack that you use for lifting the car to put a new tire on and someone jacks it up. Yeah, like that, only much higher up than the few inches it lifts a car.
Oooh. :O They're actually going to do it? Damn, I thought they'd given up on it. They've been talking about a film version for like ten years already but they haven't gotten the money or something like that. But a mini TV series would be AWESOME. MORE than awesome! That means we'll get more than just a movie!
... Or you guys will, anyway. I doubt it'll get here anytime soon. >__>;;
