Jingle goats, jingle goats
Hoppin’ up on stumps
Oh, what fun it is to bounce,
Hurdle, leap and jump, Oh!
Merry Hannu-kwanzaa-dan, C.S.O.
Merry Christmas….
Love to see those little goats just kidding around.
*Standing Ovation*
Haha, they are made out of rubber and springs!
Teehee, they’re playing King of the Stump!
And WHY am I just learning about GigglingwiththeGoats.com NOW!?!?!?!
Poor kid at 0:52
I’ve learned to just laugh at that. It may seem callous, but they’re all BAM! OW! DANG THAT HURT! LET’S DO IT AGAIN! CMON PLAY PLAY WHEEE!! and there’s no perceivable damage, it seems kinda superfluous to worry. They’re just all, hoomans is silleh! Mom, realleh! I’s fine! Lemme go! Wanna play!
hooray for goat parkour!
I always thought there was nothing happier than a happy dog, but now I’m not so sure–these little guys seem ecstatic.
or elastic
that too
Anybody else reminded of Tigger?
Their top are made out of rubber!
Their bottoms are made out of springs!
They’re bouncy, trouncy, fun, fun, fun,fun, fun…
Alright, who gave the kids espressos?
Love the flop at :50. “I meant to do that!”
………………………….did anyone else feel sad cuz they wanna belong in a group the way those goats do? They seem so happy….
BOING! BOING! BOING! I want legs like that!
As the computer at work seems to be on the fritz, the whirly round thingy has been
whirling for at least half an hour. I shall just say :-
The goats emotes
they’re better than stoats
and that denotes
a concupiscence for lust
I know the last bit doesn’t fit, I just fancied throwing concupisence in to the mix.
Gigglulz.
@ Hon Glad: may I excise one partic’lar bit and appreciate it most ‘specially?
the whirly round thingy has been
whirling for at least half an hour.
Somehow that sounds like something zen or from the monastery in the 70s TV show Kung Fu.
or something profound like that.
I believe the correct word is “hurtle.” A hurdle is a barrier.
Meaghan, the athletic event consisting of jumping over hurdles is known as “hurdling.”
Like this:
I was thinking “hurtle” as in “throw” — you know, the goats throwing themselves around.
That works, too.
Beeeeeeebeeeeeeeeee goats! STINKIN’ cute!!! (and in some cases, literally!)
I think they stink
when they get older…
Only the males (sorry, it’s true)
Oh no! Look at this very classy guy with his own parade!
A veddy veddy proper old goat.
Not if you get them fixed, then they smell like fur instead of OLD GOAT! Pewww.
Tried to come up with a pun for this one, but like the goats, I’m stumped.
P.S. I think “Goat tell it on the mountain” would have been a good alternative music choice.
BWWAAH HA HA HA HAAAAAA!!!
(gasp)
HAHAAAAAHHAAA HAAHAAAAA!!!11!!!11
“The floor is boiling hot lava!!”
Love the triumphant wiggle from the goat on the left at @0:59!
oops, I mean 0:59. Sleepy fingers.
Happy happy baby goats!
It is impossible to watch that video and not smile. In fact, I double dare anyone to try to frown while watching it!
it’s true. i tried. darn goats.
I was in a terrible mood, grumped over to CO, saw this, not only smiled but LOL and now I’m in a much better mood. Thanks for posting. (And as always loved the comments.)
Sproing!! Bounce!! Ridiculously adorable.
“Boingy, bouncy, SPROINGY, yippeeyahoo; wheeeeeeeeeeeee!!!”
Also: I submit the belief that each of the baby goats have four of the following, where most goats have legs:
I dunno… there were some older goats doin the sproingy thing too.
Sproing!! Bounce!! Sproing!! Ridiculously adorable!
GOATIE FEET..!!
quite possibly my favorite thing in the world.
Meself, I enjoy goat teef and lambie teef. Remember the Goofy Goat Kid pic ???
(it said he was in the School Band…)
Solid sproingage!
I think this is a clip from that Julia Roberts film “Bleat, Play, Shove.”
heehee!
verr’ nice, memsahib!!
Well played, madam, well played!
Oh for goodness sake. Ridiculously cute. I have the biggest, dopiest grin on my face right now.
Me too!!!
Me three! That is some potent cute right there. It reminds me of why I would love to have some goats in the backyard…
Yup, right up until they ate everything ELSE in the backyard.
My favorite parts are:
1. The “WTF” look on the grownup goats’ faces, and
2. The ‘tocks on little McSquirmerson wriggling into the washtub
yeh; McSquirmerson certainly was lil’ Tenacious G, wuzzn’t he?
I practically let out a verbal “hurrah!” when he finally got the hind ‘tocks in there!
Christmas should be for the kids.
Once, my coworker who has a farm was forced to bring an ailing bebeh goat to work to nurse it back to health. It was kinda funny with that goat riding around in a squad car all day and gallivanting around the police station.
Seriously?? A baby goat got to ride around in a squad car? I want to live where you live.
Very nice to allow bebbeh animulh at work, especially such serious work as policing.
“Gallivanting.” Very Catholic-school word, that.
LOL!! Can you imagine the look on people’s faces when seeing a goat riding in a police car!
wonder if that would work for the commuter lane..hmmmmm
@ Mel:
“gallivanting” should be Standard Issue Vocabulary when discussing bebeh goats. Oops; just saw Theresa has had the same thought….
My sister coined the term “spramping” to describe precisely what these goats are doing.
that’s perfect!
(plus it’s alliterative, as well. “G”/ “G”!!)
That story is so full of win!!! A goat in a police station *wanders off shaking head in wonderment and awe*
d’awwww… how fun and joyous! Wonderful peeps to give them so many things to jump and leap on!
What FUN!!!!
SPAZtastic.
They remind me of Rudolph when he’s learning to fly.
I got this link in an email last week and must have watched it 6 or 7 times. It still makes me happy!
Welp, there’s one mystery solved: my boxer dog is actually half goat…
I think this might be becoming a tradition. This post has inspired me to write this:
T’was a few days before Christmas and all thru teh Qte,
All the peeps were squirming and bored to boot.
The printers were churning, keyboards a clacking.
But something this Christmas just seemed to be lacking.
Teh puppehs were snuggled, & kronching their beds,
While kittens knocked ornaments onto their heads.
Piles of paper on my desk, what a task
Wondering again where I left that flask.
When out in the yard there arose such a commotion,
I sprang from my desk, to heck with that promotion.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Knocking over coworkers in my mad dash.
And my gaze did wander, the landscape below,
Happy for the distraction, now on with the show.
And what to my wondering eyes did appear?
But a miniature squee and sproingy goats, dear.
With six Peeps, each with Wit in tow,
I knew in a moment they must be from CO.
More rapid than eagles, CO’s Posters, they came.
And we cheered and shouted, and called them by name!
Whoo Meg! Whoo Prongs! Whoo Sharpy! Whoo Theo!
Yay Not That Mike, The Other Mike! and Yay Pyrit!*
*work with me here, their names just don’t rhyme*
To the top of teh interwebs, sharing cuteness with all
Now post away, post away, post away all!
As toward boxes of all sizes, Maru doth fly
Throwing himself in with such a happy sigh,
So through the world, our CO Peeps do share
Cuteness and humor, with plenty to spare.
And then in a twinkling, I heard at teh door,
Teh mailman, for me, with packages galore!
I tore open the one marked, Cute Overload
I was so happy I thought I would explode!
There in my hand, a treasure so dear,
A Cute Overload Calendar, 2011 year!
A bundle of cute, from kittens in racks,
To a bunneh quartet, enjoying a snack.
Their quips how droll, their jokes how merry
Our CO Peeps, some wish they could marry.
They share so much fun, wherever they go,
Making life brighter, and smiles grow.
The goats, cows, beetles, and mice
All agree, that CO’s quite nice.
Without their posts, some peeps would never learn
There’s lots more cute out there to discern.
Bee tocks, and spidery smiles, fresh off the shelf
Make me laugh when I see them, in spite of myself.
A wink of an eye, and a nudge from our Mod-Ed,
Keep commentroversies from getting too bog-ged.
Back to our goatlings, whence this poem’s inspiration
Makes me grateful again for CO’s perspiration,
Filling our days with cuteness and glee
Giving a pun, a giggle, a chortle, a whee!
Cute Overload, our choice place to play,
Helping us all get through that workday.
As we sproing off, though we do cheer,
Sproingy Christmas, and a Hoppy New Year!
This is absolutely delightful and brilliant! Best holiday poem ever!
Amazing! Now let’s all sing about Santa Duck!

Follow up with a chorus of opossums!

Metz- A poet laureate position awaits you, oh and does your boss know what your up to?
shhh! I hope not,
[whispering]
well, WE certainly won’t divulge it …
*Throws bouquets to Metz, cheering*
Metz As always you delight and inspire… This is amazing and funny and twinkly too! {{{Hugz}}}
/sound of crowds cheering/
Awesome, Metz!!!
{thunderous applause}
Bravo! Bravo!
*work with me here, their names just don’t rhyme*
Bwahahahaha!!!
And your “Mod-Ed/bog-ged” rhyme is inspired!
Awww shucks!
Thanks everyone!
Consider it my Holiday Gift to my CO Peeps!
{standing ovation still standing hours later; flowers AND boas being thrown on stage}
[whispers] Can we stop clapping, now? My hands are sore.
lol, no you must keep up the adoration. (hands victoreia a pair of gloves),
@ Victoreia:
at the risk of copying a bit of text here, (from either Sharpy or from Theresa; I dun’ forgot, which one….) I have the following response,
to your question (of 10:04 pm):
HAW!!!
WOW and also WOW again!!!
wonderful metz! i was feeling bah humbug-gy and this totally cheered me up! NOMTOM has got a run for his money…… =D
Awesome job, Metz!!
(throws armloads of soft fuzzy stuffed kittens and puppies at Metz)
wow. epic poem. did you write that just… in an instant?? I am humbled.
heh, don’t tell my boss but it took me most of the morning, I’d work on it for a bit, do some work, go back and revise a few parts, work, back and forth until it felt right.
Sometimes I take my own legs for granted. These little kids reminded me to be grateful for the joy of unfettered mobility.
Hilarity ensues.
i loved the pushy goat at 48 seconds and the lil guy struggling to get into the bucket. they are all sooo cute!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH LOOKIT THEIR LITTLE TAILS
If they poop it would be…
Jingle smells jingle smells, please get far away.
*the crowd goes wild in approval*
Perfectly put together post. Oh the hilarity.
Baby goats… they put the spring in sproing and the flic in frolic and the pounce in bounce… and of course the play in playtime.
They are the inspiration for Happy Happy Joy Joy JOY!
Cutest video ever!
MAH LEGZ IS SPRING-LODED
Goats gotta jump!
….sheep gotta boing….
I gotta watch CO ’til I diiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee…..
life-affirming.
Indeed! I can view CO at work, but can’t watch videos (YouTube is blocked, gee, might be counterproductive or some such). It’s a pity; this video is sorely needed some days.
If I eat enough goat cheeze, maybe I can boing boing boing too!
I didn’t realize lil’ goats liked to bounce around that much! adorable!
i think it was first reported over at boing boing.
Merry Happy, everyone!
I think my beagle might be part goat…
That settles it. This is the kind of kid I want.
Who knew that baby goats were so darn cute!!
*raises hand*
i’m pretty sure baby goats know how cute they are
See? This is why I love being a Capricorn! Goaties are so cute! The baby goats remind me of kittens, the way they bounce and sproing hither and yon.
And did anyone notice that this is a perfect arrangement of “Jingle Bells” to accompany bouncy goats? Lots of flutes and a lovely ebullience.
Of the cute videos – not the photos – I’ve seen posted here over the years, this is easily the cutest.
I giggled with the goats(dot com) all the way through that.
During watching this, all I could think of was “WHERE’S BEE?!”
