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.
