Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I just learned about a cool game played with a decapitated goat. Buzkashi.

Now we just need a game to play with the goat's head, and then we'll be using the whole goat.

How about soccer?

Calvinball seems appropriate for a goat's head.

I love how it can last for days. It's like Quidditch only on horses instead of brooms and with only one ball that's actually a dead goat.

Even better is that the kids spat the candy out!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It is a rich and wondrous world in which one can say:

Buzkashi is often compared to polo. Both games are played between people on horseback, both involve propelling an object toward a goal, and both get fairly rough. However, polo is played with a ball, while Buzkashi is played with a dead animal. Polo matches are played for fixed periods totaling about an hour; traditional Buzkashi may continue for days

Where is ESPN on this?

The show it on ESPN 8, "The Ocho."

Didn't you read about it in the most recent issue of OSQ?

(Damn. That stupid movie was made for me. It really was.)
