I like the part where he tells you to grow up.

So THAT’s what the goat pic with the “These are dangerous” caption on Rick Sunderlage’s (not his real name) blog is all about! It all makes sense now. Once I fell asleep on a big rock just below the summit of Timpanogas. I awoke to find several rather serene goats walking right past me — like I could reach out a grab a goat leg! Mmmmm, BBQ… I was blissfully ignorant of the less-friendly alter ego. Wow.

Chill. That was not the Chupacabra. I know, because (1) My daughter’s dog is the Chupacabra. Ever since my daughter got her yorkiepoo mutt thing, we’ve had no goats wandering our streets. (2) Chupacabras are not goats–they drink the blood of goats. (3) The Chupacabra is black for nighttime goat action.

I got attacked by a squirrel once…

I was having a bad week for squirrels– I ran over two while driving, one on one day and another on another day. Figures that, when we went for a ride on the weekend, a squirrel would go all kamikaze on me.

That LAST thing I wanted to do was run over a squirell while riding my bike. I mean, ew. Gross.

I stopped and yelled at it. It stopped and stared at me; when I tried to go around it, it ran out in front of me again.

Stupid squirrel.

Hellarious. I had forgotten that one. Good job fellas.

I can’t recall who it was (or is it whom?), but one of your readers/responders was attacked by an alpaca some time ago. Again, I can’t remember what post it was in, but I nearly died laughing.

Dug and He Whose Name We Don’t Know crack me up. I’m a faithful blog reader of theirs.

The worse thing I encounter in Georgia is the sweltering heat and humidity and the occasional rattlesnake striking at you (true story) Oh…rednecks in large, loud pickups also suck..southern Georgia isn’t a popular place to ride a bicycle in tight girly pants (usual term yelled out the window at me) haha

Thanks for making me relive my nightmare. I still can’t climb “Clarks” (the new name of that trail) without thinking about this.

Dug is, indeed a funny interviewer. I have had wildlife scares hiking (bear), hunting (cougar) and snow machining (buffalo). Not on a bike, however, other than dogs.

I did bunny hop a nutria once, and landed on its tail. That didn’t scare me, but the nute didn’t much like it.
