Gordo goats, gourds

[wickedflea]

This was what I saw on the side of the highway in Gordo, AL, today at the little roadside stand where I sometimes stop for boiled peanuts. I've no idea what the goats were doing there. Not to mention the dog.

Something tells me you'll be going to that town again. :D

Did I ever tell you about a town on California called Gorda? It's maybe a block long, if even that.

leave money in mailbox??? LOLOLOL! So trusting with the gourdes. : )

what does one do with a gourde, tho??? do you eat this type? I have to google, now. (and does this make me a bad southerner for not knowing?!)

haha! Gordo's not much more than that. Its only reasons for existing are hosting the annual Mule Day and Chicken Fest and functioning as a speed trap.

I dunno either! Well, I did read one time about a tribe in Indonesia that wears gourds on their dicks. But we don't do that in Alabama.

But really, I have no idea! I guess they're ornamental? Those things are awfully ugly to be used for decoration, though. Maybe they're goat food?!?

I know, it rocks! Their boiled peanuts sucked, but I really got a kick out of it otherwise. :D

Oooh, always disappointing when the boiled peanuts aren't up to par. I need to get some raw peanuts and make some myself. So tasty!

There's a Mule Day, but no Goat Day? I think you need to get on that.

Yesterday I saw a sign that said "gouads", and it was handwritten. Hee.
