Is that so wrong?

For some reason, when I see posts with text like this:
"HELLO KANSAS CITY PEOPLE
is there anything amazingly good going on this year for new year's?"
it makes me want to post comments like, "Well, we're sacrificing a goat over at our house..." And I'm pretty sure that's a poor idea.

But then I get email from HR that says things like "Those reviewers who fail to finish all their evaluations on time risk their own eligibility to receive a pay increase this year...not to mention the fiery pits of hell..." and I wonder how relevant my personal content filters actually are.

Not *a* goat, just *some* goat (that's a partitive "some", not an indefinite one.) Really, I'm amazed and entertained that everyone else is more hung up on this goat thing than I am.

It's inevitable. We've had "that thing with the chickens - never do that again" as a recurring joke for long enough that "that thing with the goat" is an appealing joke as well.
