Goat 0, Pyros 1
...bringing the lifetime record to 10-24. This tradition is awesome...
Quote:
A giant straw goat - the traditional Scandinavian yuletide symbol - erected each Christmas in a Swedish town has been burned to the ground yet again.
The city's website offers a bilingual blog and Twitter feed, as well as webcams to allow fans to follow the beleaguered goat's fate.
In one of its last entries, the goat writes: "Terrible night! Slept so well under my beautiful snow blanket, when it suddenly became awfully hot. It was fire!!! At 0300 someone managed to set me on fire and destroy the amazing Christmas spirit in Gavle."

That is a pretty badass tradition indeed. I wish Calgary had a giant _______(noun) that we could burn to the ground every year.

Oh man.......this reminds me of this one time in college.
My roommates and I were having a little prank feud with some girls down the street. One day they had the audacity to place a flaming bag of shat on our front door step, which damaged the covering by the way..
Well the joke was on them, as one of my roommates was in the agriculture-tech program. At the time, one of his assignments was to facilitate the birth of a baby goat at the research center, but unfortunately the little guy was still-born. Not wanting to put a good dead animal corpse to waste, we decided to douse it in gas and light it on fire on the sidewalk leading up to the girls' front door.......
The feud was ended...

^^ Nice job with the flaming goat fetus. It has a subtle elegance to it.

With all the goofy things that small Alberta towns to attract tourists (ie, Giant Easter Eggs, Giant Perogies, etc), why doesn't one of them do this? Build a Goat, have a little festival to get some tourists, and bask in the publicity between the pro goat / redneck battles.
There, I just did Tourism Viking's job for all of 2010. Giant idol of Sutter rendered in straw. Calgary fans vs Edmonton fans fight to save it or burn it. This could be epic.
