Welcome to the official opening of DrGoat dot (blogspot dot) com!
(trumpet fanfare cancelled owing to lack of funding, please send monetary contributions to...)

DrGoat would like to portray life and times in Singapore, and possibly the rest of the World Beyond (inconceivable as that may be to some) in a light-hearted, houmus, err humerous way, with generous helpings of heaped-on political sarcasm and satire. Unfortunately, as Dr Goat is currently post on-call and extremely hungry (can you tell?), what will actually transpire is a decidedly ordinary angst-filled rant instead.
Tough luck, and as they say, excrement occurs.

In the news this week:

1) England wins rugby world cup!
Most memorable newsline : "Wilko (Johnny Wilkinson) maintains that he will continue to train in the way he always does, and will not let this affair get to his head. Well what's the point of that? A true superstar should be getting well stuck into champagne, drugs, and Jordan, and not necessarily in that order."
Poor Jordan, make one sensational sex-tape, sell it to the Daily Star, and suddenly the whole world thinks you're a cheap slapper... withnicetits, sothat'sallright then.



2) White horses an extinct breed.
Our beloved leaders have recently announced that White Horses are no more, because, well err um. Because, period.
Apparently the sole rationale for their foaling was to ensure equality amongst the ranks of disgruntled young males serving their national indemnities (substitute servitude / indenture at will).
Naturally, the average Singaporean on the street, not being possessed of the foresight, backside and other divinely attributed anatomical endowments of the lowliest, but yet nonetheless elitestoftheelite PAP minister, is wholly unable to comprehend how labelling individuals in an otherwise uniform (pun fully intended) sea of green "anaemic equines" serves to ensure that they will be treated just as badly as everyone else.
Naturally the more subjective of the lay-sheep in singapore feel that they are getting the wool pulled over their eyes, and have been defiantly bleating their, well, defiance. In fact one suspects they're getting rather (drumroll cancelled owing to lack of funding, send monetary contributions to...) horse.
DrGoat feels that we shouldn't flog a dead, pale horse anymore. (I hear the apocalyptic riders get rather upset by this for some reason)
If the average man on the street wants to continue to stay on (rather than under) the street in Singapore, one true bastion of free speech, expensive consequences, and all-night-shopping, he'd better learn to be a good neigh-bour and keep his peace in one piece.

Bestiality is best left alone it its own dark little corner to perversely get on with getting off.    # Re-minisce denies liability.11/27/2003 12:42:00 am
