About this blog: I was born and raised in Livermore with scientist parents who moonlight as musicians and a brother who is much louder and much more fun than I am. I am a published and very poorly paid author of the young-adult fantasy 'I Am Not Lost,' available on Amazon, and a worshiper of Stephen King. I am a connoisseur of human folly, a huge fan of Monty Python, and full of sarcasm. I understand that sarcasm is supposed to be the lowest form of humor - that doesn't make it any less fun. 'LOL (Lessons on Laughter)' is full of the things I come across on the internet that tickle my funny bone and elicit my trademark cackle. My only goal is to brighten someone's day with the absurd, the ludicrous, the facetious, the nonsensical and the satiric. Warning: bad puns ahead.

The goat has never been accused of being a majestic creature. With their strangely shaped pupils, their tendency to eat everything and a general taste for destruction, they are really the black sheep (hahaha) of the grazing animal world.
I'm reminded of goats and their lack of grace and dignity by the return of the Alameda County Fair. The Fair is one of my favorite places. Rides, carnival games, pig races and petting zoos -- goats included -- make for an event that turns me into a five-year-old.
Recently, I came across a video of goats being goats. Or rather, being less like goats and more like people.
