Lolcow Jimbo and Gary The Goat - The Most Australian Man, a Goat, and Drinking One's Own Piss

[Televangelist]

New at Kiwifarms posting so I'm probably going to fuck this up somehow, but how on earth is there not a Gary the Goat thread already? Did a forum search and nothing turned up.

Jimbo is an Australian who travels around the country with his pet goat, narrating his and the goat's adventures, and also evangelizing the health benefits of drinking your own piss.

He's a former children's clown and on one level -- the level where he's making funny videos of him and his goat traveling the outback -- he's very much in on the joke. But he's really dead serious about the piss thing. Like, "facing obscenity charges for whipping it out in public and pissing in a cup and drinking it" serious.

I think he's been in the outback a wee bit too long.

Gary the Goat and his ne'er-do-well keeper are actually national treasures of australia, welcomed with much celebration wherever they go. the both of them live as nomadic kings, traveling the land to entertain their subjects and educate foreigners on the naming conventions of Australian towns.

Gary himself is the comedian and the breadwinner of this family business, and Jimbo merely enables him. for example, Gary once ate several very important flowers outside of the Sydney Museum of Contemporary Art, and after some fuss from the local constabulary, Jimbo was slapped with a $440 fine for Gary's actions - but he fought it in court, and won, as the magistrate concluded that there was no evidence Jimbo deliberately brought Gary along for the purpose of vandalizing vegetation.

that said, Jimbo is a mixed bag... on the one hand, he is a man of roguish principles, practical wisdom, and an unyielding zest for life. during the course of his career, The Man has branded him with various criminal designations, most notably "sex offender" due to years and years of stunts involving whippin' it out or, most importantly, getting other people to whip theirs out, man and woman alike (as he did in the video linked above).

Jimbo offers this insight on the matter:

Jimbo told The Daily Advertiser he had been branded a sex offender, which he feels is an insult to sex assault victims.

“It dilutes what it means to be on the sex offender’s list,” he said.

Jimbo also said the harassment charge was an attack on comedy.

“Rules and regulations are stifling our culture to the point where the rule of law seems to have little to do with common sense, and if common sense has little to do with the rule of law our society is in trouble,” he said.

whereas i agree with him that "sex offender" ought be reserved for actual rapists and molestors, and to put that label on him cheapens the term... he evidently does drink his own fucking urine. for reasons he said are medical and health-related. uh.

so i hope you can understand why i'm torn on this one
