Looking into the Yule goat has sent me down a strange internet rabbit-hole. What's the deal with the burning of the goat? As this is in Sweden, is this something Denmark shares?

Gävlebocken is a Swedish tradition, a giant straw goat put up as a holiday decoration in one town.

Buckle up, this is a wall of text incoming:

Really this holiday goat (Julebuk in Danish) is spread out in Scandinavia, and comes in many sizes as cute lil decorations for the home. Is made of straw in the shape of a goat, as callback to the good olden times where most traditions for Yule in Scandinavia was shaped beyond just being some old celebration for winter solstice. An easy decoration for creative farmers to make for the holidays when winter kept them shut in their farms.

It is NOT a tradition to burn the goat, mind you!

Now this SPECIFIC huge arse goat has its own story.

Because since that town in Sweden began setting up this extra large one as a tradition for itself, a new tradition emerged. Unknown arsonists began setting it on fire. Every year trying a way to sneak up close and put the hay on fire, just because it can be done.

One year it was a burning arrow sent at it.

Now this was not something the officials of that town approved of. For one, quite a fire hazard and always a danger to everyone else to set something like that on fire. Secondly the waste of the tax money used on putting it up just to watch hoodlums' destroy it. Of course you can always ask why they would keep putting it back up each year, but I have no idea why. Possibly the Internet meme it became locally was good for attention and tourism.

The last.. I think 4 years? More measures have been taken to keep it from burning, such as dousing it in liquids that can't burn, and set up a surveillance to spook away any arsonist who doesn't wanna get caught and arrested for this kind of mishap.

A lot of Internet attention came upon this goat thanks to Goat Watch on the podcast WTFIWWY (Short for What The Fuck Is Wrong With You) that likes to share crazy news stories from recent weeks. And learning the history of the amount of times this goat was put on fire, they dedicated each year to keep watch to see how and when it would burn again. Especially so after the latest measures came up to keep the goat safe the last few years.

The hosts then began, jokingly, create this conspiracy that the very reason why the last few years majorly sucked was BECAUSE the goat didn't burn as a sacrifice to the eldritch gods.

And, that's the meme.

The Goat has burned this very December at last. Now we hope it'll please the higher powers and stop the last few years' of madness.

Good times

Hey I finally finished this!  So I have been a long-time fan of WTFIWWY ever since its days on Channel Awesome.  I also follow Tara’s tiktok (not as much as I should because I am bad at tiktok) and when I saw this video (and a follow-up one where they showed off similar cups they had) I couldn’t get the image of Tara and Dan as Persephone and Hades out of my head.  And when I envisioned their cats as Cerebus (Caterebus???) I knew I had to bring the mental image to life, with the cups that started this whole things!  I wish I was better at drawing cats but it was fun deciding which part was for which cat.

I also decided to experiment with coloring the lineart after the fact so it gave a sort of blended outline appearance.  I think it works better in some areas of the pic than others but it was a fun experiment!  I also just kind of bullshitted the background with brushes and stuff, still on the fence about it. I went through three colors before I settled on a worn leather look for the couch because I’m super indecisive.

I now want to draw Nash as Momus, Greek God of irony and satire XD

RP meme from "WTFIWWY Live - Mr. Plow - 12/28/20"

He just wants to be included.

He just wants to annoying.

He just wants to be loved.

Hands down, this one wins "Worst Year"

The stupid never stops.

Oh the betrayal!

Where are you off to, you little butthead?

I want attention!

Fuck the goat!

It's out here posting Destiny's Child lyrics and gloating at us!

It has to go, for the sake of us all.

Seriously, it's gotta go!

Remember the Cookie Monster Communist mural?

The cookies! United! Will never be defeated!

I think everyone should get cookies.

I'm all for Cookie Socialism.

Is the dog okay?

If you get arrested, do they take your service dog?

Look, I don't wanna profile people, but they're from Florida.

Did I just find a brain?

It looks like a human brain.

What happened to the rest of whoever or whatever it is?

I don't pick up random shit I find on the beach because the ocean is terrifying and people like to dump our shit in it.

How did nobody notice for thirty minutes, is what I want to know!

You remember music videos?

I've worked a lot of retail in my day, and YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO DO THAT.

Everybody is out of fucks.

Is that a genetic condition?

You are on the drugs.

I'm gonna say maybe meth is not a drug you want to be on.

They are worthless little hunks of plastic.

Your grand plan, your Ocean's Eleven if you will, has resulted in SO many criminal charges.

It wasn't hard to track your ass.

Were you gonna get away on the snow plow?

I am excited to hear his defense.

You know you can just walk in, right?

You do not need to give the cops something to do.

If you claim you're pregnant, they're not gonna stop you.

Not all heroes wear capes; some of them throw raves in bathrooms.

Don't pick up stuff at the beach, because, you know, maybe it's a quarter, maybe it's a brain in aluminum foil.

Maybe it's a live grenade; isn't that what it was last week?

Just leave shit at the beach, at the beach.

That's some Wrath of Khan shit, that's not okay!

I guess your nose takes two Double As. One up each nostril.

Draw with your dick

I've never had a penis, but as I understand it that's not how they work.

Who puts a shoe in their vagina, honestly?

Not matter who you are, you got a rectum.

How do you not know if there's something in your ass?

Rectum shark, do do do do do do do, rectum shark

Change the channel your goddamn self!

Was he trying to mute his farts?

British tourists fined for drunkenly stealing penguin from Australian theme park

Two Welsh tourists have been fined for drunkenly stealing a penguin, called Dirk, from Sea World in Australia, despite their lawyer claiming they "tried their incompetent best" to care for the bird.

Rhys Owen Jones, 21, and Keri Mules, 20, pleaded guilty in the Southport Magistrates Court for trespassing, stealing and keeping a protected animal.

The pair who in Australia on a working holiday, were intoxicated after 1.5 litres of vodka before they entered Sea World park on Gold Coast.

Once inside they swam with dolphins and let off a fire extinguisher in a shark enclosure last month. The pair then awoke the next morning with hangovers to find the penguin in their living room.

The court heard that they tried to care for it by feeding it bread and putting it in the shower, but when they realised their huge mistake, they left the penguin in nearby Broadwater beach instead of contacting the theme park.

Dirk was later rescued and returned to the park. The pair apologised for their mistake. The magistrates fined AUS$1,000 (£636) each. Their lawyer Bill Potts said: "They tried their incompetent best to care for the penguin. "Look, the boys realise they did something incredibly stupid and the boys understand that this just simply can't happen. "They're just very pleased that in the end that no penguin was harmed."

I would heavily, heavily encourage watching the video.
