troll’d?
The goat accidenty the power line.
What in the world. That is the strangest thing
i would appreciate a ‘how to’ for that
how does that even happen?
I saw it on the news. It is not a power line the goat is hanging from, but a wire which is stabilizing the pole. The pole is standing on a mountain side, so the wire goes downhill. Somehow the goat got it’s horn stuck on the wire, and the goat slided down like you would on a zip-line.
Some German tourists found it. They managed to throw a rope around the other horn, and drag the goat back to safety. The goat was ok.
I’m really glad the goat was ok… its not a funny fail if an animal suffers.
I agree. Not funny if the animal suffers at all.
Thanks for filling in the blanks, Aaberg.
Goat chillaxing there. Dont worry about me. Thats how we roll.
Ah I get it, it’s only funny when the humans suffer.
lol!!!!!
Indeed.
It´s actually a sheep. According to the owner´s brother, who was quoted in Norwegian media, the sheep didn´t take damage, physically or mental of it. It was very happy when it came down, and seemed to have forgotten the episode the day after;)
How many sheep remember much they did yesterday?
Depends on how badly their RAM got electro-fried.
Hahaha! very clever, I laughed pretty hard when I read that
this reminds me of the Monty Python “flying sheep” sketch…
how does one check if a sheep has taken mental damage? its not as if theyre the smartest things ever in the 1st place.
EPIC FAIL
Thanks for telling. I’m glad it’s ok and all.
thanks for filling us in…i was starting to get sick to my stomach
Apparently there was a hill that the power line ran really close to. The ram ran up the hill, got stuck on the power line and kinda zip-corded his way down there.
it is how we dryclean our goats in norway
ahahahaha genialt xD
oh yeah, that one made it funny!
LOL! Best comment I’ve seen so far
It should use an action figure.
Apparently this happens a lot…
http://www.zombiepanda.com/goat-stuck-in-telephone-line.html
I like the fact that since you have posted that URL the page viewership jumped. When I viewed it at 5:30 EST and it was at 900+ views today alone.
yeah, the page has been up for nearly 2 years and has had 280 views in that time. now, at GMT +1 it has gone up to 1609.
Oops i failed. 12 PM GMT +1 is what i meant to say. dammit!
That goat attacked Chuck Norris.
“Tap, tap, tap, tap! ” went the
bridgeline.Is it… dead?
thats not really a fail ^o)
Nope, its not dead, some kids and German tourist saved it with a lasso.
>.>
First and best!
Now how’d that happen?
Don’t ask me! I was just taking him for a stroll!
It actually reminds me of my fave Far Side cartoon. The one with the two pilots in the plane; you can see the clouds through the c0ckpit window with a goat standing in the middle. One pilot says to the other, “Say, what’s a mountain goat doing this high up in the cloud bank?”
love the far side!
Yes, love Far Side. My favorite (which I still have tucked away) is the “Leg-O-Mangler.”
Next time judy please be careful, thanks for all the Peta group.
it was quicker to take the zip line down the mountain
Bat-Goat always takes the Zipper Line.
wanted to see how the wether is up there
Ha! Well played!
I read about it in the news a couple days ago. The power lines were close to the ground on the top of the hill, and the goat’s horns got stuck in them, and he zipped down the power lines. I’m pretty sure he was rescued after this.
Oh, and I think it’s a big horn sheep.
I am sure a hearding dog was involved some how. We like to play pranks on the live stock.
So Jules — you are admitting that you are a dog?
Why shouldn’t he? I admit I’m a bitch.
Being a bitch just means that you are tough and do not take any shit. Those qualities in a man are seen as positive — but not in a woman. I have never minded being called a bitch — it usually means I am getting what I want and the other person is mad about it!
I prefer the term “Bitch Goddess.”
Babe in total control of herself.
man, what a bitch!
being called a “Bitch” is an insult when youre a man, doesnt mean you are tough and don’t take any shit, it means you wear frilly pink dresses and enjoy being rammed in the butt by a large black man named Tbone
Yeah… That about sums it up… Particularly if the large black man in question is in prison.
Yes, definitely a sheep. But people confuse them all the time, so it’s an easy mistake. Wild sheep look a little bit goat-like.
^ a veritable cornucopia of information
cornucopia
from L. cornu copiæ “horn of plenty,” originally the horn of the goat Amalthea, who nurtured the infant Zeus.
Are you trying to infer that Brewski gets horny when discussing sheep?
*hands around porn of plenty*
Judy, that’s baaaaaad.
*squeeze*
*hands around horn of plenty*
….damn- nearly got there before you!
heh … plenty of plenty references
Well, you did say it an hour before Fuzz — he just nests better than you —-
Who you gonna call? Goat busters.
(actually, you can see a video of the rescue in the link provided by clicking on the username of “rambo” higher on this page)
LMAO!! nesting fail!
This was meant to be a reply to TalesOC way down yonder VV.
(and actually, Judy was referring to my 7:23 am comment … and my 8:27 am comment was referring to hers … and round and round the horns we go)
*gets dizzy while trying to follow improper nesting, falls down, cries*
*picks McFail back up, dusts her off*
There there.
*squeeze*
*sneezes from the dust*
*squeezes The Moomin and WN*
Yes. That’s a sheep all right. I guess this is a twofer- it’s a failblog title fail too!
Yup. It happend in Norway, and the goat lived on
I’m glad to know he didn’t dye in the wool.
…and here is the video to proof it
(clickie)
The little golf-clap at the end is heart-warming.
Awww… thanks for posting it.
I was wondering how they got him down. Was very clever to just zip him up the line back to where he got stuck. I hope they fix those power lines so it doesn’t happen again.
He fixes the cable?
And then marries the waitress.
Don’t be fatuous, Aja.
Gosh, talk about FB invading real life – at the end, I looked to see who powered the fail!
*Headdesk*
Glad the little guy’s ok, though.
And, in a little Gir-voice, the goat scampers off thinking “I’m gonna do it again!”
It was pining for the fjords.
It was Norwegian.
ROFLMFAO!!!!!!!! I would have paid to see that happen
Must not be live wires? If he was on the ground and touched the line, he’d be toasted goat.
Michael Vick copycat fail
I saw a picture a few years ago with a moose in a similar situation. The cable had been pulled by workmen a few miles down the line and the moose’s antler’s got caught. The poor beast died and I assume that this poor beast is also dead.
NO, pls look 4 comments up, kthxbai
BTW my husband knows a Rattus……If it is you I am very very scared at how teeny tiny the world is!
What’s a Rattus?
Something occasionally eaten by a Cattus.
*snorkus*
Do you find the name wisible?
Still don’t know what that’s supposed to mean.
It’s not a goat, it’s a ram (a male sheep). It’s not stuck on a power chord but a non-live support wire that is stuck in the mountain farther up from the pole. The ram was eating grass up in the hill side minding its own business while its horn got stuck in the wire. It probably walked down when it got stuck and panicked. The more it moved and baaaaaaahd, the further down the wire it went.
omg ur sho shmart
this poor goat got hung out to dry
I heard of being hung like a horse, but not a goat.
Have you ever seen a billy goat from behind? They are carrying so much tackle that bulls and stallions feel inadequate.
i think someone’s listening in on the line
He can hear the ocean.
lol … and see the sea … where by the shore a certain she sells see shells whereby a certain sheep can certainly hear the ocean for sure
It would behoove us to speak in code.
Goa tell it on the mountain?
I think it behooves us to find out what really happened.
Poor thing, just rammed on there!
May get a shepherd’s crook in the neck.
Oh eweeee!!
Do you really think we can milk a pun run out of this?
Let’s ask Billy…
Just be happy it was the sheep and not ewe!
Wether we can or not is not an important as wether or not we try …
thankfully they saved him from goating gently into that good night
WIN.
Say what? I’ve heard of “raining cats and dogs”. But this??
*pouncesqueezesmooch*
.
HA!
This fail really gets my goat, but now things are looking up!!
*smooches and squeezes*
Are you trying to start a baa-a-a-a-ad pun run?
*looks sheepish*
“buckling” the pun trend?
We interrupt this pun run to announce that Fuzz only learned the word “buckling” last week — it means “a young male domestic goat of between one and two years”.
You’re Kidding!
Wooly cow they have a name for that?
It’s Mammoth
It behooves us to do our best to keep this going.
How long does this pun run hoof to go on?
Oh and, by the way…
IT’S A GOAT-DAMNED SHEEP!
That is just a ruminant!
Spoon God needs a bigger horn … to get his SHEEP herd.
How dishornourable of ewe!
Need new words, overused those already.
Can’t you horndle the truth?
Ewe go ahead and look for yourself!
Conclusive prhoof.
Oops. Send me a billy for however many bucks I owe.
Ewe are all crazy.
Believe me now?
Ewe just got grazed!
Those words are mutton‘ too old for this pun run…
Man, i’m on a roll! I think…
Goddamnit, it replied to the wrong comment again. There needs to be a way to delete posts (if there is, can anyone tell me so i can fix this?)
Hold your monitor upside down and shake it. Works for Leila.
This pun run is getting a bit ramdom.
First line support says this picture is a good depiction of what happens when you try to connect to the internetz using RAM but no modem.
Shear lunacy.
Is there nanny way this will end well?
Thanks! All those years of etch-a-sketch failures pay off today!
*Snaps screen off laptop, and shakes it upside-down*
Won’t come back on, halp!
Oh, wait, DAMN YOU!
Oh No-O-O-O-O-O!!!
This is embarrasing!!!!
For the record, there is no possible way for Leila to be plain.
.
*squeeze*
Ha!! Jinx!
Velvet! Velvet! Velvet!
Thank you, fluffy!
.
*sticks tongue out at brewski* So NYAH!
Ah ha. So apparently I am still a newbie when it comes to nearly-simultaneous posting, and the “jinx” reply. What did I miss?? Besides being 45 seconds late!
*puzzled look*
velvet cannot say anything until someone calls out her name cuz you called out Jinx.
fluffy already freed her…
Yeah, I see now
Couldn’t be bothered to read it, your comment just stood out for some reason.
sawz baut thawt
Aw…sweet velvet!!
*squeezethanks*
You are most welcome, my dear!
Oh, it’s “plain” Leila! Good morning!!
*squeeze!!!*
*does aeroplane impression*
Wanna be a jet instead Leila? *squeeze*
*squeeze*
I can be because I love speed. Wait, are jets faster than planes?
Yup….
*dissappears at mach 5*
Ever heard of a jet afraid of heights?
yeah, Brett Favre.
How bout all the decommissioned SR-71 ‘Blackbirds’ that rich people and museums have?
Most of them are either attached to the ground with concrete, so I guess you could say that for them ^_^
I bet Avis wishes she could do that. Being a bird and all.
I think Avis is sick of jets right now.
She’d probably be really interested in some ground-to-air missiles or anti-aircraft guns.
Yes, but can you shellack those?
In a word: yes.
*pictures Avis whacking the jets with a shellacked ground-to-air missile*
*snork!*
*squeezes Leila and WN*
*squeezes back*
*hands Lurk a shellacked RPG*
Just what I always wanted! A shellacked… Role… Playing… Game?
LOL – it ate my comment when I explained that it was a shellacked r o c k e t p r o p e l l e d g r e n a d e you were holding
Oh. That makes more sense.
haha.. does it really make more sense?
Have you ever tried to shellack a Role Playing Game? It’s not pretty.

Good morning Judy!!
*squeeze back at you*

I have to leave for a pre-interview soon (instead of pre-pre-interview).
Not a big deal though, I don’t think I’d want the job, because it would require relocating to Miami Florida!
:-p
Good luck to you.
Habla Espanol, senor? You’ll need it in Miami. I love Fort Lauderdale! Hubby is from Hollywood (between FtL and Miami).
Hey, as long as we still get to keep you, it’s all good.
Oh, come on! ¡La vida en Miami es muy buena!
Though you’d have to come up with some creative use for your snow boots…
I don’t know. I don’t like hot climates, I don’t like hurricanes, and I don’t like cockroaches the size of VW buses. I also like mountains.
The interview went very well, then want to fly me down. But they’re waiting on me, cause I need to decide if I would ever consider living in Florida.
Ugh.

Ugh.
Your body adjusts to the hot climate, and there’s this thing they invented a while ago called air conditioning…
You also get used to hurricanes – just get a house more than a block or two away from the ocean in an area known not to flood. You will only have to deal with a hurricane every few years. It’s really not a big deal (am I jaded or what?!).
Now. The c0ckroaches. Yes. I agree. EW!
And mountains? Well, now you know where to go on vacation! Easy peasy lemon *SQUEEZEY!*
i would go if:
1) it’s a better job
2) it pays better
3) safety. safety is always 3rd after all’
4) there’s the possibility for advancement
5) you want the job.
FL is nice enough most or the time and you can get one of those high frequency emmiters to keep the bugs out.
You “get used to hurricanes.” Get USED to hurricanes???
He can likely get used to them… following this recipe:
1 oz vodka
1/4 oz grenadine syrup
1 oz gin
1 1/2 rum
1 oz amaretto almond liqueur
1 oz triple sec
grapefruit juice
pineapple juice
heh, one and a half rum indeed –
should probably start with 1.5 oz … and work your way up to bottles
How is this even possible?!
*gambol gambol bounce bounce*
*bounce crunch ……feck*
heh … a bad gambol
A fail goat, but that’s not really funny (IMHO).
How about in your DHO?
I don’t know what DHO is, but it doesn’t sound polite.
Dis-Honest Opinion.
The Moomin is always polite, well most of the time…ok some of the time…
At least 30% anyway….
30% of the time or 30% of the polite?
A little from column A, a little from column B…..but only with trollets! *squeeze*
Whichever is less.
*squeezes the moomin*
That’s more than half!

My mom asked my daughter that on the phone the other day and my daugher told her “no.”
*helpless giggles*
One ringy-dingy! Two ringy dingies!
WTF is that?

A bird?
NO! It’s SUPER-FLEECE
I think it’s somebody in a wooly snuggie.

I hope so, the phone company always gets my goat!
Huh — goats in my house are fed to the dogs …
*squeeze*
Thanks for the site to get DE yesterday, Elsa. Yes it was a serious question. I appreciate the info.
I refuse to put the flea poisons on either of my dogs. DE works great and you can use it anywhere. I unzip the couch cuashipns etc. and dust it in there… put in the dog crates, carpets etc.
I have cats, and I don’t like the idea of putting poison on them since they bathe with their tongues. If it’s bad for fleas, how good can it be for my poor kitties?
Och, the poor sheep! Definitely not a goat, by the way.
Ah, the voice of the true conoisseur!
“That’ll do, pig.”
I can tell by the wool in his zipper
Zipper? Nay Lass, a sheep can hear a zipper a mile off tis why we wear kilts!
the very sound of it sends them scurrying up the telephone poles hahaha!
For some weird reason I had a long discussion about the difference between sheep and goats with some friends a while back. I can’t remember how the subject came up. Google, Wiki, and the flock of sheep my partner’s boss owns were all involved.
Shear me up the ass!
(clickie)
granny I love you but I refuse.
c’mon! its not too bad I clickied yours!
no nightmare guarantee!
Aw, Granny, I thought we were friends!
It was bad eh?
granny, site is BBB — big bro blocked.
It’s ok…if I remember I will check it when I get home.
just do it! I won’t do that thing again promise!
my favorite part too! LOL!
*snorkie*
That is wayyy sick…
Funny, but sick…
*sicksqueeze!*
LOL
Foul language alert for those at work. I cranked the volume up when I couldn’t hear the sheep mumbling, and then, WOAH!!! F-BOMB!!
Well, if he wasn’t so horny, this wouldn’t have happened.
Yeah sheep will do just about anythign to get away from a horny Scott!
There is nothing that can avoid the wrath of a horny Scott. I know cause we are not a rare breed here.

Shocked!
Yep, thats the emote all right. Dead ringer too.
Very Wired! I could not figure out what I was seeing at first!
It helps if you’re high wired.
it helps if you put the sheep’s front legs over a fence and the back legs down your wellington boots for better control and access, but then you miss out on all the kissing
oh granny!!!
just ….keep….saying…that…a…..little…longer!
She would if you could do things a little longer.
S-NAP!
It snapped? Oh GCF, I am so sorry
*squeezes GCF*
Actually, I’d be a little more concerned by the fact that that was a massive burn!
Hopefully GCF knows it’s nothing personal, it’s just too perfect a set-up to miss.
*fingers crossed*
Awwww! See! The Moomin is always polite!
This must be why the lonely goatherd stood alone on the hill.
maybe he was drying it after the last round

FBI Fail!
They were investigating bestiality and told someone to wire a goatsheep.

The invasion force were like lambs to the slaughter.
But…but….they were seasoned fighters, rosemary, garlic, everything. *sniff*
lol! and lotion, don’t forget the lotion
I’m sorry, there was mutton we could do about it
*sobs uncontrollably*
They were in like a lion and out like a ram??
Right, the guilty parties are up for the chop!
Rack ‘em up!
They had the wool pulled over their eyes though! The intelligence said it could be done!
Were they armed with Shanks?
No, they were just told to hoof it.
The shear force of their momentum breached the gates.
A bad way to Curry favour, granted.
WOW
How is the goat get there ?
Running away from Arthur.
ROFL!!!
When Arthur catches up, he will be shocked!!!
Oh, the excitement! I can feel the electricity buzzing in the air!

Go ahead and let go, you’ll just land on a caricature artist.
Off to do some work. Meanwhile, I expect some homework done when I get back.
Random question of the day: What is your profession (what kind of work do you do)? What do you like/hate about it?
Professional marshmallow.
I hate it when I melt in hot chocolate.
professional annoyance…..(I work in a legal call centre…they phone me though)
best bit- the stories people come out with
worst bit- the general public
any like “my cat downloaded the child pornography?”
the infamous “Sheep rape” property dispute, but mostly things such as “My partner and I were together in the shower, and it broke, can I sue the manufacturer”………..
you see my dilema
Master Baiter…
I work with Harry Palms
Actually:
Transportation Mgr at a Golf Company in Austin.
Like: Sunsets, long walks on the beach…
Hate: Not much of anything, not a bad job, get lots of free lunches and occasionally free golf.
Civil Engineer.
Likes: Variety of the workload
Dislikes: The collapse of the housing market leading to redundancies throughout the industry.
Mushroom.
Kept in dark, gets sh1t piled on top, supposed to grow.
Likes: surfing on Failblog, and blowing off responsibilities due to bad attitude
Dislikes: putting up with political douchebags who favor asskissers over ability
Oh my, did I sound at all bitter or sarcastic there? Far be it from me to be bitter about my life-sucking, hell-on-earth place of employment!
Hmmm. You’re hired. Go see the Office Goddess in HR.
You rang?
Oh, yes! A new
slaveemployee! Ok, sign this large mountain of paperwork for corporate…yes you do have to read it all.*squeeze*
You be the Office Goddess and I’ll be the Bitch Goddess, ok?
Order entry at a pipe and tubing warehouse.
Like: I help people lay pipe.
Hate: I don’t mind going to work,
but it’s the 8 hour wait to go back home that’s a killer.
I wanna get laid. Can you help? Or is it a pipe dream?
Mechanical Engineer – Inspecting power plant equipment.
Love the challenge of the work, facture mechanics/ material analysis/ design.
Hate the seasons in the industry.
Summer and winter I am so bored I am pulling out my hair.
Fall and spring, outage season, I am so busy I am pulling my hair out.
I used to audit electric cooperatives in MD, VA, and NC when I was in public accounting. The Staking Engineers hated me because I knew how to read a staking sheet, along with the rest of the work order.
Sounds like you could use some hair implants.
HR and Admin Manager aka Office Goddess.
I like being the one that gets all the juicy gossip details.
I could definitely live without the engineers. (I love you Moomin, Brewski, Jules and any other FBer who is an engineer!)
Pbbbbbbbbbbbbbbt!
How uncivil and rude!
*lower lip trembles*
But…but…I said I loved you!
*sobs*
*bows to the Office Goddess*
*watches for granny*
I don’t envy you Ms B.
Corporate controller and product litigation liaison.
.
Like: it’s an easy job.
Dislike: the boss. Most of you know the background.
I remember the stories about the boss.
*throws evil look @ velvet’s boss*
Office Assistant for a fertilizer company.
Like: Toying with telemarketer when they call before I tell them to take us off all of their lists.
Hate: Slow season when there’s nothing to do. I feel like I’m milking the clock, and it really bugs me.
I would go nuts if I had some down time @ work. I would jump right out the window.
We’re on the ground floor, so jumping out the window would be pointless, but that’s how I feel too.
Might be kinda fun, and it WOULD kill time if you jumped out, then back in again, then out, then back in…
It’s good exercise too!
Then they’d have me committed, which might be fun, too. Except for the fact that it’s hard to cruise Failblog in a straight jacket.
You can use your tongue.
*roffle*
I’m sure some of the guys would like that!
Profession: Legal secretary/receptionist/assistant to divorce attorney/mediation administration /senior staff member/office baker and the only one that can open the safe
Likes: the variety – every day it’s something new
Dislikes: Work. I’ve been here 24 years, I’m ready to retire.
I think legal secretaries are not paid as well as they should be. I’ve worked with our corporate attorneys and…I just don’t know how to describe them but they are some very demanding folks.
MYGAWD!!! We are surrounded by engineers.
*thinks it’s awesome but won’t admit it*
ACK.
Profession: Grand Supreme Imperial Sovereign Yotkenator
Likes: Handing out bidness cards
Dislikes: working with momos and idjuts
Profession: Currently a cog in the wheel of the local government. Am applying to medical school, though and will begin in fall 2010, so it all feels very temporary. In fact, I was shocked to acquire business cards earlier this year.
Likes: Meeting interesting people all over the area.
I am (not-so) secretly traumatized by placing calls; I don’t mind receiving them, though.
Hates: Making phone calls!
*squeeze!*
I don’t like placing calls either!
I don’t mind making phone calls as long as I don’t get somebody’s voice mail. I always feel like a babbling idiot when I leave a message.
I am a babbling idiot on voicemails. My sisters make fun of me all the time for it.
I used to work in a survey center. I had to call randomly generated numbers, and ask them to participate in a 20-minute survey that included questions about salary, employment, etc. I once got somebody that I’m convinced was a dope dealer. I also got a lot of unlisted numbers, and they often weren’t thrilled to get a survey call.
I hate being on the phone. I don’t like making them. I don’t like getting them. That’s why we have texting.
Interestingly enough, I’m apparently good at it; I once had a temporary job at a call center raising money for the muscular dystrophy association. I was seriously scarred for life by that. I lasted a week and a day.
I used to be a telemarketer. That’s why I enjoy toying with them so much now.
I once asked a telemarketer what time his family ate dinner and if I could get his phone number @ home so I can call him back.
Another time, I said I passed away and he goes, I am really sorry to hear that and hung up.
I simply said, “Hold on, I’ll get her” and set the phone down and walked away.
AAAHHH!! The antichrist!!!
Shun the telemarketer! SSSHHHHUUUNNNN!!!!
Yet another Engineer, but of a different variety.
IT Department Head for a Law Firm
Like: The day to day variety of tasks.
Dislike:Management meetings and personnel issues.
I’m… uh…

*mountin’ goat*
should be goat mountin fail
This is really, really horrible. Would you show a picture with a dead person? No? Then why on earth is a dead animal funny???? Please take this off the site. I’m cancelling my RSS feed now.
hahahahaha! ha ha hahahahaha! hahahahahahaa!
You misspelled ‘baaaaaa, humbug’
well (s)he misspelled F!
They misspelled ‘cancelling my arse feed’
impossible!
Fun fact: You can cancel your RSS without telling everyone.
Another fun fact: the sheep is not dead in the picture. It was rescued and is alive and well (unless something else happened to it).
Yet another fun fact: You could have known this if you bothered to read the comments instead of throwing a hissy fit.
Bring out yer dead!
*wields a heavy frying pan*
The goat isn’t dead. It’s just hanging around.
Animal identification fail!
It’s a sheep.
DUUUUHHHRRR!!!!
Oh, That sounds nasty! Is it contagious?
Maybe she should have that looked at.
An article about that sheep : http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1205004/Pictured-Ram-bo-Amazing-abseiling-sheep-tries-unorthodox-method-attracting-ewes.html?ITO=1490
Thanks for the link. I’m glad he got rescued.
ROFL — I love the part that says people were amazed as he descended the wire “apparently accidentally” — I guess there was speculation that he did it on purpose to get over the fence to get to the “ladies” in the next pasture …
I thank you for the link, too. I’m glad there was a happy ending for the sheep.
Kids these days. We used to throw shoes with the laces tied together.
Ewe would think they would learn.
And now they throw what used to be kids.
Looks like a giant goat is humping the ‘M’ shaped duplex. Again.
It’s a hell of a goatse.
*flees*
yep, goat, see?
Et tu, Moome?
*squees*
LOL!
Not funny.
Sad.
No worries, Mr. Sheep pulled through this one.
Be happy!
And, when they got hin down they allowed him “access to the ladies” in the next field over. I think Mr. Sheep was pleased with the results of his adventure!!
Excuuuuuuuuuse me? Goat is tasty! Sad or not.
Get in my belly.
Well EXCUUUUUUUUUUUSE ME, PRINCESS!
Do androids dream of electric sheeps?
Growling Mad Scientists?
BTW, gcf: Love the Seth MacFarlane clickie! ROFLs!
nice … Shear Runner
The ramifications are electrifying!
That s so baaaaaaaaaaad.
Now thats really grabbing the … sheep…by the horns.
Who do you call in a situation like this? I’d be worried the thing would kick the crap of the person trying to get it down. Would they have to sever the line?
Who you gonna call? Goat busters!
(actually, you can see a video of the rescue in the link provided by clicking on the username of “rambo” higher on this page)
Well at lest this video: http://www.aftenposten.no/webtv/?id=14844
shows he is okay. I was worried he was dead. Still not to happy about this picture, this kind of stuff doesn’t need to be on here.
It’s also a fail because it’s a domestic sheepie and not a goat!
oops, lots of other folks pointed that out, too. Observation fail.:)
I know it’s a sheep. I call it Goat. That’s his/her name.
I bought a dog the other day…I named him Stay. It’s fun to call him…
“Come here, Stay! Come here, Stay!” He went insane. Now he just ignores me
and keeps typing.
Steven, I like all your jokes.
“I spilled Spot Remover on my dog. Now he’s gone.”

He/she ate too many mexican jumping beans.

It’s nice having your own crew to do your work! Now if only I could get people to clean my carpets.
What, pray tell, happened to your carpets? Hopefully no sheep were involved …
*snork*
Not to my knowledge. But sometimes I wonder what happens when I’m away. I think my cat has some Animal-House parties.
Mine are probably going to be doing that this weekend while we’re at the family reunion.
i saw this on german tv last week
That sheep is really high. Don’t give sheep drugs and to get high.
He’s not high, he’s wired!
They should upgrade to wireless sheep.
that’s the kind I count on when I’m shleepless
This is your sheep. This is your sheep on drugs. Any questions?
Yeah, Why’d you smack my sheep with a frying pan?
‘Cause she got feta’d up with eggs.
Fried sheep … mm-mm-mm-mm-mm … toasty!
Drugs are baaaaaaaad.
Mmkay.
I think this belongs at pictureisunrelated .com.
This picture appeared in the Guardian newspaper here in the UK, it is a way the sheep have of getting down the mountain when they are stuck on the wire so people can get them off.
Bet that goat was like, Yo bet I can 360 flip that wire duuude… Yeah that’s how mountain goats talk.
man this is sheeptastic! now wait! goatasticles… hm, ah now i got it: goatastic!
Great horn sheep d-maztablazta you got it.
You gotta admit, tho, he has a GREAT view of the surrounding countryside. Well worth effort, I’d say.
Complety not funny, I don’t think this is kinda things of fail too
hr0n
lol … relative of the pr0nghr0n sheep
http://www.dagbladet.no/2009/08/05/nyheter/dyrenes_nyheter/innenriks/ver/2400/7518460/
didn’t really understand how it got there though
What the FAIL?!
buba® would be affraid to live in a country where cities are attacked by monsters. fortunately, this one has been intercepted by the special anti-monster city fence.
super mario goat
This looks shopped.
I’m surprised no one has done this yet…
“GET DOWN FROM THERE, GOAT! You don’t belong on the powerline, you’re a goat.”
(GIS for reference)
DOUBLE FAIL. It is not a goat. That’s a sheep
Hang in there, kid!
is it just me or does he look like he’s a giant goat humping the house from this angle?
“It is dark. You are likely to be eaten by a grue…”
I assume there was a hurricane in that area?
Wow, it musta been SOME party the night before…
If I remember correctly the goat was a bit “fresh” and saw some lady goats in the distance while standing on a pole. The farmers said he lost footing because it haven’t gotten any ladies for quite some time
i dont think goats can jump 15-20 ft in the air ..
it was at the foot of a mountain farther up,it got one of it’s horns somehow into the cable and then swooshed it down
i wondered when this would be put up here
This is actually a mile from where i’m living, in Stavanger
Ølaf out loud
that’s horrible!
could be worse — at least he’s got a good view
Now how the f.. I mean.. Just how?
This might just be a win…
Oh, they had this on our news. I couldn’t believe it and I tried to show my boyfriend, but I couldn’t find the story online anywhere. This occured because of a tornado that picked up the ram. What luck to be placed on a power line.
Wow that’s about the saddest thing I have ever seen in my life.
ouch! that goat is pitiful… i think he’s not gonna make it…
Come on, guys, he’ll shrink in the drier…
Canadians… they will be shocked out. *electrocuted*
photoshopped,
note how the word “FAIL” casts a very harsh shadow on the water at suspicious angles.. no “fail” word can cast such a shadows in teh real lifes. the failblog.org looks authentic to me though. it most certainly was part of that power pole.
Why do you care so much at the word FAIL? its just a freakking word, do you look at every picture just to say its shopped so you can act all smart and superior? its just sad, just losen up and have a laugh at that … ummm NINJA GOAT THING !
the goat got stuck in the mountins(or how you spell it) wen the line was down low it got stuck there and then it tryed to get away from it but the goat just slid(ed) down …
Hah, red about this in the papir
Not a goat. A breed of sheep called “Jacob’s Sheep”. My family raises them. They’re pretty uncommon anymore as they don’t produce much meat and you can’t dye their brown wool. Still, about as goatlike as a sheep can get. I wasn’t at all surprised to see one in a situation like this.
I saw this on the news; they interviewed the guy who owned the goat. He recond the goat was horny and trying to get some.. Cause when he is, he satnd on his two back legs and try to show off… The farmer who owned the goat assumed he’d been trying to show off – and that was how he got his horns around the wire and slided down… Some german turist got him down after half an hour.
What is this I don’t even…
it looks fake
Did all you people insisting photoshop miss the dozens of posts recounting the news story?
That`s in Norway! (Where i Live)
Yeah and so what? does that make you any cooler?
i live in norway too, but that doesnt make me any cooler either.
fjortiss…
du skal lissom komme med en vittig kommentar, som for eksempel som en annen sa her, “thats how we dryclean our goats in norway”
hvem er det som er fjortis her….
som om det er unormalt å komme med en sånn kommentar
kutt drittpreiket
It’s not a goat, it’s a sheep.
The goat was Drunk Driving
Can you hear me now?
how the f*/k does that happen?!?!!?!
Randomman is most pleased at random goat although he does wonder just how the hell this happened.
Randomman out!
Seriously, why the heck did this happen? I doubt anyone would want to hang a goat, and i doubt that it would get up there itself. Unless it was flat out dumb
One question. HOW?????
holay guacamole….. that goat is such a beast. i worship achievements like that
MA-TE-HO!
hey captain obvious. i hope you find it obvious to kiss my white ass .

The story is that this female Goat was eating on a hill, and the powerline went down from the hill and down to the village. And when he was eating, he accedently hocked hes horn in the whire, and slide down the powerline.
Real funny.
Some german torists rescued him with a lasso.
Sorry, not a goat, a male sheep. In noway its called “Vær”.
Now that’s a bit awkward, innit?
I just wonder… how the hell…..?!?

Goat Love… ITS ELECTRIFYING BABY!!!
needless to say that goat needs neutering to prevent such accidents from happening again, then we eat him and his balls… ok you can have the balls
poor goat, need a medication. put it in a stove
This is a sheep, not a mountain goat.
fail sheep zipcords home
It’s not goat, it’s a ram. (Male sheep)
