July 23, 2007: Monkey on a goat on a platform on a wire - Page 3

DucksNuts · 07-23-2007, 09:21 PM

I love the look on Flint's dog's face...its like "oh boy, oh boy, oh boy...I'm gonna get em"

Nivek · 07-23-2007, 09:25 PM

Both the goat and the monkey are more talented than I'll ever be.

Holy crap, I just realized that "Wrangler" (post #13) was IotD for 10/29/2002. My Google Image search hit on Neatorama's caption "Cowboy Monkey" but it linked back here. And I have to say, I think Wrangler is photoshopped. I noticed, after posting the pic, that he is surrounded by image artifact.

I assumed "Wrangler" was real, because I thought he was Whiplash the Cowboy Monkey, seen below. As you can see from his website, Wrangler is real enough to be sponsored by Wrangler jeans and Justin boots, among others. I think I've seen Whiplash in Ye Olde Videoe Clippe Threade.

I'm having trouble seeing where the weight is being borne on the front. But, I don't know much about goats...he might be strong enough that a split second of no weight on the front is do-able. Just looked funny to me. Eh, what do I know?

xoxoxoBruce · 07-24-2007, 06:41 PM

The weight is on the front most hoof and the other front hoof is just lifting off the wire, I think.

I must agree that it doesn't look quite right... altough goats can easily balance themselves in the most incredible of places, this wire thing looks unreal to me too..

Hi Anada!

Watch out, Cellarites are known for being very sensitive about pictures of other things.

Welcome!

Welcome!

Thanks for the welcome!.. I don't mean to hurt anybody's feeling

, and just to support the balancing capabitilites of goats: http://www.magicposters.com/images/p...ncing_goat.jpg, a Balancing Goat engraving from 1800's.

DucksNuts · 07-25-2007, 08:03 PM

I dont think its a wire as such, but a bit of pipe or some such thing and goats are like cats....they can balance on nothing.

The hoof hanging down is actually pretty normal for goatie type stuff. Gunston (my angora) often climbs the fence out the front and when he is standing on it, one *pad* will be on the top rail and the other wont. It looks like normal goat gait with the positioning of the hoofs.

Wheres Goatman Griff in all this?

He's off trying to figure out how to make them do this, and also how to charge admission.

Shawnee123 · 07-26-2007, 10:16 AM

Great cartoon! :p

Thanks Ducks, I was wondering about that. I didn't know goats had such balance. That was part of my question/confusion.

and of course that.

Naw, you're fine, Anada. I was just using your post as a vehicle to continue a little picking on each other thingy I had going on with a couple other 'ites. It's all good clean fun.

Even a slurp spider was looking a shop debate posted a few years ago.

That picture is really cool. Thanks!
