Men Who Stare at Goats…

9 Nov

…become goats? In my intro post, I referred to an odd fellow that rides around the Marais on a bicycle pretending to be a goat. Well, yesterday I got a call from my good friend Thomas Chase, French interiors extraordinaire, who lives a couple of streets over on Rue Charlot. “Mel!” he says, “I got ‘im!”

“Got who?” I say. “Him! The goat guy!” to which we start laughing like excited kids. So, courtesy of Thomas’ excellently timed iPhone footage, we present to you – the goat guy. Is he just an exhibitionist? Or has he been drinking too much of that South African plonk ‘Goats do Roam’?

    maybe he is a goat who looks human? Just another example proving that Paris does seem have everything.

      Ooh, that’s a theory we haven’t yet considered, hmm….

    Il me semble que je comprends bien le sens caché de cet homme-chèvre. Ne serait-il pas un de ces grands philosophes urbains contemporains qui veut exprimer le fait que la circulation à Paris (voitures, vélos et piétons confondus) peut rendre complètement “chèvre”. Eh oui, vous n’aviez pas encore considérer cette expression bien française, héhé! Voici qui est fait! La clé du mystère est peut-être enfin révélée. ;O))

      HA! j’aime bien cette théorie, Christine! La circulation l’a “rendu chévre”!! Ouaissss! T’es un génie! ;)

        Petit-petit le génie…et pas un génie de la conjugaison, il faut croire… Oulala, look! J’ai fait une énOOOOrme faute de conjugaison dans mon premier message, faute que je m’empresse de corriger: ‘Eh oui, vous n’aviez pas encore considérÉ ‘. Là, ça va mieux. In with love, out with hate!
