Fecal Flotation Demo:laughdie:

[ChuckF]

Fecal flotation is when you centrifuge a stool sample in a solution to check it for parasites. It's less fun than it sounds.

I wanna go to goat-a-rama.

The goat costume judging is clearly the money event.

[Ymir's blood]

Atlanta gets all the cool events. :deepsigh:

[livius drusus]

It's actually held in Tennille, GA. Don't ask me where the Captain will be because I don't know.

I do hope that there will be pictures published from the costume contest!

Oh. The map scale threw me off, Atlanta being rather large and all.

So what is your goat dressed up as? :goat:

:hissyfit: I WANT TO GO TO THE GOAT-O-RAMA!!!

I *love* goats! The one thing I really miss about St. Louis is going to Grant's Farm to feed the dozens and dozens of baby goats with the little milk bottles :yup:

Somehow I doubt Goat-O-Rama is coming to a Town Near Me though... :darn:

Yammit, and I missed it.
